Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Bending followed by twisting and turning while lifting.

Explanation:

The main cause of back injuries at work id the improper use of lifting techniques. While carrying heavy objects, they must be lifted with the legs having the cores tighten, maintaining the object as near as possible to the body and keeping the natural curve of the back. To accomplish good lifting techniques, there must be security coaching regularly for employees to remember what is the appropriate procedure to follow to avoid health issues.

Klassen Toy Company, Inc., assembles two parts: Part 1 is first processed at workstation A for 15 minutes per unit and then proc

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process

b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour

Explanation:

Part 1 is processed at A for 15 minutes and then at B for 10 minutes.

Thus part 1 take 15 + 10 i.e. 25 minutes two complete both processes

Part 2 is processed at C for 20 minutes.

Output from B and C i.e. part 1 and 2 respectively are fed to process D where the time taken to assemble is 15 minutes

Thus looking at the given data,

Part 1 takes longer time i.e. 25 minutes to reach process C compared to part 2 i.e. 20 minutes

So bottleneck occurs at process A and B because it takes maximum time i.e. 25 minutes

a) Process A is the bottleneck of the process

b) Hourly capacity = 60 / bottlenecktime = 60/25 = 2.4 units / hour

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Missing out on the benefits I get from working out using exercise equipment in my garage.

Explanation:

When an option is chosen from alternatives, the opportunity cost is the "cost" incurred by not enjoying the benefit associated with the best alternative choice. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as "the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen." Since Choice B is the next best choice to hiking, missing out on the benefits of working out will be my opportunity cost.

Tiny went back to his office after the meeting and began to crunch the numbers on the rapid inflator. At a price of $10 per unit

Artist 52 [7]

Solution and Explanation:

Part A - Inflatable divisions's Current Return on Investment = Yearly Earnings / Investment Cost * 100

There the Inflatable Division is Currently Earning $ 250,000 annually from an Asset base of $ 1,250,000

Therefore, ROI = $250000 / 1250000 * 100=20 \%$

Part B - Let the maximum variable cost be X.

Given that - 1. Selling Price per Unit = $10 , 2. No of Units to be produced = 40000 , 3. Annual Fixed Cost = $ 140000

Therefore , ROI = Current Earning + New Earning / Current Assets + New Assets

20% = $250000+[(10-\mathrm{X}) * 40000-\underline{140000}] / 1250000+100000$

Solve for X getting, X = 6

Therefore maximum variable cost it can incur without change in current ROI is $ 6 per unit

Resulting Contribution Margin per Unit = SP - VC = $10 minus $6 = $4 per unit

part C - Minimum Transfer Lightning division Should charge

Given Information - Capacity of Lightning division is 150000 units and Utilized capacity is 135000 units. Therefore Spare capacity is 15000 units .Also Market Price of Product of Lightning division is $ 5 and Variable cost is $3 per unit.

So for the First 15000 units of Requirement of Inflatable division - Transfer Price should be Variable cost i.e $ 3 per unit because Lightning division has spare capacity in this.

For the next 25000 units of requirement of Inflatable division - Transfer Price should be Market Price i.e $ 5 per unit as Lightning division has to reduce is external sale.

Therefore Minimum TP = 1 $5000 * 3+25000 * 5 / 40000=\$ 4.25$ per Unit

Part D - No, Here Tiny offers to transfer $4 ( $6 - $2 ) per unit to Lightning division. However the minimum TP Lightning should get is 4.25 per unit and if less than this TP is offered by Tiny it will lead to loss in the Lightning Division.
