A nation's productivity is directly affected by what?

On June 1, 2015, Ivanhoe Company and Shamrock Company merged to form Bridgeport Inc. A total of 752,000 shares were issued to co

kompoz [17]

Solution:

a-1) Calculation of the number of shares used for calculating Basic Earning per share

No. of shares period

752000 3/12 188000

1314000 9/12 985500

Weighted average No of shares outstanding 1173500

a-2) Calculation of the number of shares used for calculating Diluted Earning per share

No. of shares period

752000 3/12 188000 1314000 3/12 328500 with Bonds 1340400 6/12 670200

Weighted average No of shares outstanding 1186700

Each bonds to per converted into 44 common stock

i.e. 600 Bonds *44 common=26400 Potential equity shares

b-1) Calculation of earning figures to be used for calculating Basic Earning per share

After Tax net Income will be earnings = $1614000

b-2) Calculation of earning figures to be used for calculating Diluted Earning per share

After tax net Income 1614000

Interest for the 2017 =600000*7*6/12 21000

Tax effect on Interest @40% 8400 12600 1626600

Earnings = 1626600

A market might have an upward-sloping long-run supply curve if A. firms have different costs. B. consumers exercise market power

____ [38]

Answer:

Option A is correct

Firms have different costs.

Explanation:

Option A is correct

Long run supply curve is upward sloping or constant horizontal line depends on the industry whether it is variable cost industry (increasing production cost) or a constant cost industry respectively. Option A is correct because if firms have different production cost and it is increasing as the output is increasing then it is upward Sloping long-run supply curve.

Suppose that the Dallas School District wants to achieve Six Sigma quality levels of performance in delivering students to schoo

Kay [80]

Answer:

a) 1.66 minutes

b) 3.4 out of million deliveries

Explanation:

So, it is a six sigma quality question, we first need to understand little bit about six sigma and how it is to achieve six sigma level.

Six Sigma:

It is the process or technique used by many organizations through out the world to achieve maximum quality in a product or in a service they are providing. It helps to indicate root causes of the process or you can say waste steps which first need to be identified then rectified to bring that top-notch quality in the system. So in this case, in order to calculate part a) we will calculate six sigma control limits.

a) So, for six sigma control limits, the maximum allowable standard deviation is 12 or you can say +6 + (-6) = ±6 = 12. It means all deviations must lie in all 12 standard deviations.

Please refer to the table shown in the attachment. This bell curve represent six sigma concept. In this 3 sigma quality level means all deviations must lie in 6 standard deviations.

So, here we have been given that mean = 20, so with mean we can calculate standard deviation in six sigma control limits.

Maximum Allowable Standard Deviation for 6 sigma = Mean/12

= 20/12

= 1.66

So, 1.66 is the maximum allowable standard deviation of arrival times required in order to achieve 6 sigma quality level.

b) In this part, we are asked that, out of million deliveries about how many times bus deliver students too early or too late at this 6 sigma quality level.

For this answer, please refer to attachment again. and notice at the left bottom with the arrow of 6 sigma, we have a number 3.4 ppm means 3.4 part per million.

So, it 3.4 times in a million deliveries bus will deliver students either too early or too late.
