One of the operations in the United States Postal Service is a mechanical mail sorting operation. In this operation, letter mail

is sorted at a rate of one letter per second. The letter is mechanically sorted from a three-digit code input by an operator sitting at a keyboard. The manager of the mechanical sorting operation wishes to determine the number of temporary employees to hire for December. The manager estimates that there will be an additional 35,100,000 pieces of mail in December, due to the upcoming holiday season.
Assume that the sorting operators are temporary employees. The union contract requires that temporary employees be hired for one month at a time. Each temporary employee is hired to work 150 hours in the month.

a. How many temporary employees should the manager hire for December?

b. If each employee earns a standard $16 per hour, what would be the labor time variance if the actual number of letters sorted in December was 34,020,000? Use the minus sign to enter favorable variances as negative numbers.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The performance problem to minor burns will be mainly psychological.

Explanation:

The staff involved will most likely exhibit a reduction in speed at which he or she executed the task which led to the burn.

If the personnel is in a chain of production where their own activity feeds others, it may translate to the increase in the time taken to achieve results.

One solution to this is to critically examine the production process and eliminate the cause of the accident if any.

If the cause of the incident was as a result of carelessness on the part of the staff, then he or she might have to be rescheduled to another department or unit where their current mindset will not stall the overall performance of the team/production line.

Cheers!

Bros Co. expects its EBIT to be $100,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 11 percent. Bruce currently has no debt, and
Liula [17]

Answer:

WACC=17.15%

Explanation;

MV of equity=EBIT8(1-t)/Ke          

MV of equity=100,000*(1-.31)/.18=$383,333  

Total value of the firm=Market value of equity+present value of tax savings on interest

Total value of the firm based on EBIT= $383,333+.31*61,000

Total Value of the firm=$402,243

Keg=Keu+(Keu-Kd)*D/E*(1-t)

where Keu= cost of equity of un-geared company=18%

Keg=cost of equity of geared company=?

Kd=cost of debt=11%

Keg=.18+(.18-11)*61,000/(402,243-61,000)*.69

Keg=.18+.0086

Keg=18.86%

NoW revised WACC will be

WACC=Keg*MV of equity+Kd(1-t)*cost of debt/(total value of firm)

WACC=.1886*(402,243-61,000)+.11(1-.31)*61,000/(402,243)

WACC=17.15%
