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:
Let suppose the value of property is 100 dollars currently.
The price of a certain property increased by 10% in the first year, means the value of property at this point is (100 *1.1) 110 dollars.
In the second year the value of property decreases by 20% mean the value of property at this point is (110*0.80) 88 dollars, that is 80% of previous value determine.
In the third year the value of property increases by 25% mean the value of property at this point is (88*1.25) 110 dollars that is 25% more than previous value determine.
So in second year the value in dollars is 88 dollars.
Answer:
The Hi-Stakes Company
a. If the direct exchange rate increases, the dollar strengthens relative to the other currency.
b. If the indirect exchange rate increases, the dollar also strengthens relative to the other currency.
Explanation:
When the exchange rate increases, it means that more of the other currency is required in order to embark on importing and exporting transactions. However, the increases will weaken the ability of the importing currency to afford the dollar-based goods, which have then being made more expensive.
Answer:
Budgeted cost of goods sold = $7,650,000
Explanation:
Computation table for budgeted cost of goods sold
<u>Particular Amount </u>
Total Sales 225,000
Add: Desired stock in hand 90,000
<u>Less:</u><u> Beginning stock 60,000 </u>
<u>Budgeted production 255,000
</u>
Budgeted cost of goods sold = 255,000 x $30
Budgeted cost of goods sold = $7,650,000
Answer:
The amount of Lantz's operating revenue is $734,000
Explanation:
The computation of the operating revenue is shown below:
= Total cash sales + Total credit sales
= $255,000 + $479,000
= $734,000
Since we have to compute the operating revenue, so we considered only revenue part not expenses part
The other information which is mentioned in the question is not being considered because it is related to the operating expenses. So, ignored it.
