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:
securities available for trade: 250,000
Explanation:
The investment will be trade at market value. which is 1,200
Nichols cannot set the price of an assetat his own will. If possible a company will do it to increase his assets and look more solid than it is.
To evaluate the bonds at 1,200 the market price will need to be at 1,200
Currently the price third parties gives the security is 1,000 so it should carry the investment at
250 bonds x 1,000 market value = 250,000
Answer:
Cost of goods will be $4670325
Explanation:
We have given current liabilities = $407000
A quick ratio = 1.90
Current ratio is 3.40 and inventory turnover = 4.50
We know that current ratio is the ratio of current assets and current liabilities
So 
So current assets = $1383800
Now quick ratio is equal to = 
So 
Inventory = $1037850
Inventory turnover is given 4.5
So 
So cost of goods sold = 4.5×$1037850 = $4670325
Answer:
Total amount at the end of 4 years = $135.16
Explanation:
A simple interest account pays interest on only the sum deposited at an annual rate for a specified period of time without compounding or adding the interest earned in a particular period in the calculation of interest earning for the next period. Thus, if 1000 is invested and interest s earned at 10% then the interest earned will remain constant for every period the money is still deposited in the account.
The formula to calculate interest under simple interest method is,
Interest = Principal * Annual Rate * Time in years
Total Interest earned = 109 * 6% * 4
Total interest earned = 26.16
Total amount at the end of 4 years = Principal + Interest
Total amount at the end of 4 years = 109 + 26.16
Total amount at the end of 4 years = $135.16
A town might decide to issue bonds to B) to build new roads or bridges. A town will achieve a specified amount of money by issuing the bond and there must be an obvious source for returning the bond value until its maturity date. Therefore, building projects or other projects related to the town's infrastructure would be the most appropriate reason for a town to issue bonds.
