Answer:

Month 1 = 5.3 Days

Month 2 = 4.9 Days

Month 3 = 3.9 days

Month 4 = 4.5 Days

Explanation:

The computation of throughput time for each month is shown below:-

Throughput time = Process time + Inspection time + Move time + Queue time

Month 1 = 0.7 Days + 0.6 Days + 0.6 Days + 3.4 Days

= 5.3 Days

Month 2 = 0.7 Days + 0.6 Days + 0.5 Days + 3.1 Days

= 4.9 Days

Month 3 = 0.7 Days + 0.4 Days + 0.4 Days + 2.4 Days

= 3.9 days

Month 4 = 0.4 Days + 0.6 Days + 0.8 Days + 1.7 Days

= 4.5 Days

Therefore for computing the throughput time for each month we simply applied the above formula.

The most recent financial statements for Xporter, Inc., are shown here:
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Solution :

Expected sales = current sales x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

                         = 5,700 x (1 + 15%)

                         = $ 6555

Expected cost = current cost x (1 + projected sale next year increase)

                       = 4200 x (1 + 15%)

                       = $ 4830

Taxable income = 1500 x ( 1 + 15%)

                           = $ 1725

Taxes (34%)  = 510 x (1+15%)

                     = $ 586.5

Net income = sales - cost - taxes

                   = 6555 - 4830 - 586.5

                   = $ 1138.5

Calculation of total asset :

Current asset = 3,900 x 1.15

                      = $ 4485

Fixed asset   = 8100 x 1.15

                      = $ 9315

Total asset = 4485 + 9315

                  = $ 13800

Calculation of total liabilities

Current liabilities = 2200 x 1.15

                            = $ 2530

Long term debt = $ 3,750

Equity = $ 6050 + (1138.5 x 0.50 )

          = $ 7189

Total liabilities  = $ 2530 + $ 3,750 + $ 7189

                          = $ 13, 469

Therefore the external financial needed is = $ 13800 - $ 13, 469

                                                                       = $ 331

qwelly [4]

Answer:

$6250

$5000

$5250

Explanation:

Straight line depreciation expense = (Cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life

($212,000 - $12,000) / 8 = $25,000

The machine was used for only 3 months in the fiscal year. Thus, the depreciation expense = $25,000 x (3/12) = $6250

Activity method based on output = (output produced that year / total output of the machine) x (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

(1000 / 40,000) x ($212,000 - $12,000) = $5000

Activity method based on hours worked = (hours worked that year / total hours of the machine) x  (Cost of asset - Salvage value)

($212,000 - $12,000) x (525 / 20,0000)  = $5250
