grigory [225]

Answer:

D. $156,000

Explanation:

Cost = $400,000

Residual value = $10,000

Useful life = 5 years

Now,

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Useful life}  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{400,000 - 10,000}{5}  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{390,000}{10}  

Annual straight line depreciation = $78,000

Annual depreciation expense is transferred to the accumulated depreciation. Thus, accumulated depreciation is sum of depreciation expense charged over the useful life of the asset.

Depreciation table has been constructed to compute the accumulated depreciation on 31st December 2017.

b. The cost of inventorying a single item is $0.86 per item.

c. The cost of inventorying a single item is $0.95 per item.

d. The cost of inventorying a single item is $1.08 per item.

e. You should assign two workers per computer in order to minimize the cost of inventory per single item.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. A complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Imagine you have some workers and some handheld computers that you can use to take inventory at a warehouse. There are diminishing returns to taking inventory. If one worker uses one computer, he can inventory 125 items per hour. Two workers sharing a computer can together inventory 175 items per hour. Three workers sharing a computer can together inventory 185 items per hour. And four or more workers sharing a computer can together inventory fewer than 185 items per hour. Computers cost $100 each and you must pay each worker $25 per hour.

a. If you assign one worker per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ _____ per item

b. If you assign two workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ _____ per item

c. If you assign three workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $_____ per item

d. If you assign four workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $_____ per item.

e. How many workers per computer should you assign if you wish to minimize the cost of inventory per single item? _____ worker(s) per computer

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

Note: See the attached excel file for all the calculations.

a. If you assign one worker per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ _____ per item

The cost of inventorying a single item is <u>$1.00 per item.</u>

b. If you assign two workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $ _____ per item

The cost of inventorying a single item is <u>$0.86 per item.</u>

c. If you assign three workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $_____ per item

The cost of inventorying a single item is <u>$0.95 per item.</u>

d. If you assign four workers per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? Instructions: Round your answer to two decimal places. $_____ per item.

The cost of inventorying a single item is <u>$1.08 per item.</u>

e. How many workers per computer should you assign if you wish to minimize the cost of inventory per single item? _____ worker(s) per computer

To minimize the cost of inventory per single item, you should assign the number of workers at a point where the cost inventorying a single item is the lowest.

From from parts a to d above, the <u>lowest cost of $0.86 per item </u>of inventorying a single item is obtained in part b when you assign two workers per computer.

Therefore, you should assign two workers per computer in order to minimize the cost of inventory per single item.

Unions contribute to Select one: a. frictional unemployment but not the natural rate of unemployment. b. the natural rate of une
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": both frictional unemployment and the natural rate of unemployment.

Explanation:

Natural unemployment is defined as the lowest rate of unemployment an economy will reach. It is called natural because its causes are other than an adverse economy. Natural unemployment is a combination of <em>frictional unemployment</em> -employment transitions, <em>structural unemployment</em> -mismatch between abilities and current position, and <em>labor surplus</em>.

Unions are groups of individuals who join to set minimum standards at work in regards to wages, compensations, and conditions. <em>Union members are, by default, always available to join the workforce even if there is work to be done or not. Sometimes, union members are assigned duties their abilities outperform just to avoid having the member unemployed. These are the reasons why unions are said to contribute to natural unemployment.</em>
