Answer:

13.3%

Explanation:

The time in which the employee are free or not working due to halt in operation or a process. The employee are ready for work in this time and waiting for operation to start.

According to the given data

Total observations = 45 observations

Number of observation that found loader idle = 6 observations

Estimated percentage of idle time = (6 / 45) x 100

Estimated percentage of idle time = 13.3%

Alona [7]
Bias may be occurring.  Bias is basically thinking someone is better than another person due to one factor, without even knowing the person.  In this instance, the store manager is only hiring shift supervisors who have a degree, rather than an experienced cashier without a degree.  The bias here is dependent on the employee's educational history.  The manager may think that even though the cashiers are great, they still may not have the qualifications that one would pick up in college.

Using the estimated sales and production of 140,000 boxes of Chap-Off, the Accounting Department has developed the following man
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Silven Industries

If Silven buys its tubes from the outside supplier, it will be able to avoid $1.10 of its own Chap-Off manufacturing costs per box

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Estimated Production and Sales Units of Chap-Off = 140,000 boxes

Manufacturing cost per box:      Avoidable costs

Direct material              $ 3.70           $0.74 ($3.70 * 20%)

Direct labor                      2.00             0.20 ($2.00 * 10%)

Manufacturing overhead 1.60              0.16 ($1.60 * 10%)

Total cost                      $ 7.30            $1.10

Outside supplier's price for tubes = $1.20 per box

b) Unless there an alternative use for the machine used in making the tubes internally exists, it may not be cost-effective for Silven to buy from the outside supplier.  Alternatively, it should renegotiate a price per box that is less than $1.10 in order to stop making the tubes internally.
