A hamburger factory produces 40,000 hamburgers each week. The equipment used costs $5,000 andwill remain productive for 4 years.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

This question is incomplete. However, I found the prompt to be as follows;

"What is the productivity measure of “units of output per dollar of input” averaged over the four-year period? "

Explanation:

To solve this question, find productivity;

Productivity in this case is total hamburgers produced divided by the total labor cost plus total equipment cost.

Productivity = # of hamburgers *52 weeks * 4 years / (total labor cost + equipment cost)

Productivity= 40,000(52)(4)/ {9,500(4) + 5000}

= 193.5 hamburgers/dollar of input

Therefore, the factory would produce about 194 burgers per dollar of input.

Redwood Corporation is considering two alternative investment proposals with the following data: Proposal X Proposal Y Investme

Nady [450]

Answer:

6.1%

Explanation:

As per given data

Proposal X Proposal Y

Investment $900,000 $488,000

Useful life 9 years 9 years

Annual net cash inflows for 9 years $130,000 $84,000

Residual value $42,000 $0

Depreciation method Straight-line Straight-line

Required rate of return 15% 12%

Accounting rate of return is the ratio of average net income of a project and the average investment made in the project.

Accounting rate of return = Average Net income / Average Investment

As net cash inflows are given we need to deduct the depreciation from the cash flows to arrive at the net income for the period. As all cash flows are constant so, the average value will be equal to the single years value.

Average net income = Net cash inflows - Depreciation = Net cash inflows - ( Cost of Asset - Residual value ) / Useful life of asset = $84,000 - ( $488,000 - $0) / 9 = $84,000 - $54,222 = $29,778

Average Investment = $488,000

Placing Values in the formula

Accounting rate of return = $29,778 / $488,000 = 6.1%

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

A) the law does not codify all ethical requirements.

Explanation:

Laws are meant to be generally and applicable to all individuals or organizations. It is absolutely impossible that laws could be made specifically for every single person, business, organization, and that it covers all their possible actions.

Imagine that there are over 32.5 million businesses in the US, that means that 32.5 million laws should be made. How many more laws regarding specific circumstances should there be?

Each company should try to have their own business ethics code, which should be followed specially by the upper management. It is a form of self-regulation, but it will all depend on the company to follow it.
