Performing calculations and using equipment
Note:
I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.
The Complete Question is as under:
Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?
A. $766
B. $29818
C. $3137
D. $3211
Answer:
Option D. $3,137
Explanation:
The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.
The amount saved last year would be:
Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137
Hence the option C is correct here.
Answer:
Producer surplus.
Explanation:
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a product they're willing to sell and the price they're gonna actually received. In this case she is willing to spend $30 + $10 coupon and she buys $35 pair of jeans.
So, she's only paying $30, that means seller is receiving $5 less.
Therefore, producer surplus is $5.
Answer:
Unit of measure concept
Explanation:
The definition for a unit of measure refers to a common principle used throughout accounting, whereby all activities should be reported uniformly using the same currency. For instance, a business that holds its documents in just the U.S. will report its whole dealings in U.S. dollars, whereas a German company will report all its payments in euros.
If a transaction includes transactions or transfers in another currency, the sum is translated until being registered to the domestic currency utilized by an entity. Without a specific standard unit, financial reports will be impossible to generate.
Answer: $74,000

The Average Investment refers to the average cash invested into a particular project and is useful in calculating the rate of return. The simple formula is to add the beginning value of the asset to its ending value and divide this by 2.
The ending value in this case would be the salvage value;
Average Investment =
