a) 12 customers per hour is the flow rate of the process.

b)  if the car wash has a demand of 15 cars per hour 60 percent   is the utilization of the machine that performs the wax process.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

a) The bottle neck which is the process of washing has a capacity of  12 number of cars as its minimum capacity. The flow rate is considered as the minimum capacity of the bottleneck. Thus, flow rate of the process will be 12 customers per hour.  

b) The utilization capacity can be calculated by dividing  flow rate by  the capacity of the process step.

Here the demand is 15 cars per hour. The calculated flow rate is 12 cars per hour.  The difference is 3.

Thus the capacity of the machine which performs the wax process will be  1 / 3 × 60 = 20 cars per hour.

Thus the utilization of this machine is 12 / 20 = 60 percent.

Utilization is the flow rate divided by the capacity of the process step.

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

$4.50

Explanation:

The sunk cost is the cost that has been incurred and is unrecoverable in the process of taking a financing decision.

If the cost of a coffee cup from a local gas station cost $5.00 and the cost of refill is $0.50, the coffee is the actual element needed and from the refill, it can be estimated that it costs $0.50.

Hence the sunk or unrecoverable cost is the difference between the coffee cup and the refill cost

= $5.00 - $0.50

= $4.50

Which of the following statements is CORRECT?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

If a company pays more in dividends than it generates in net income, its retained earnings as reported on the balance sheet will decline from the previous year's balance.

Explanation:

The dividend is shown while preparing the retained earning statement. So, it does not affect the net income.

The highly liquid marketable securities does not show a decline in the current assets

If the long term bonds are issued to purchase fixed assets it would show under the long term liabilities and the long term assets rather than the current assets and the current liabilities

Account receivable are reported in the current assets rather than the current liabilities

We know that

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

If the dividend amount is more than the net income so the ending balance of retained earning will decline than its beginning year balance.
