In sociology, these sales workers would be classified as a secondary group.
A secondary group is a group of people whose relationships with one another is impersonal and goal oriented. The group is usually temporary compared to primary group, which is a small social group whose members share personal relationships with one another. Some examples of primary groups are friends and family.
Answer:
$5,000
Explanation:
<em>Note that Lakeland Chemical manufactures uses weighted-average method of process costing</em>
Equivalent units
Materials = 9,000
Conversion Costs = 7,500
Total Costs
Materials = $20,500
Conversion Costs = $15,000
Cost per equivalent units
Materials =
Conversion Costs =
Total Cost in remaining in work in process
Total Cost
The total costs remaining in work in process on May 31 are $5,000.
Answer:
c. Optimum replacement interval (ORI)
Explanation:
Optimum replacement interval used to estimate the most cost effective time to replace an asset on the basis of their replacement cost.
There needs to be a balance between the replacement cost and the value that is being lost by changing the asset.
The useful value must be low to justify replacement cost.
For example if the cost of maintaining a machine has increased a lot as a result of wear and tear, it will be more cost effective to make a replacement in order to minimise cost and increase efficiency
Answer:
If we assumes we setup machine for product A x times, and B y times, the total hours required is 0.5*3000 + 0.8*2000+ 2*x + 8 *y = 3100+2x+8y. Notice that due to the capacity restriction x has to be no smaller than 150 hours (3000/20) and y has to be no smaller than 50 hours (2000/40). so total required hours must exceed 3100+2*150+8*50=3800. The management prefer a 15% capacity cushion, which means the total duration prepared for the processing should be at least 3800*(1+15%)=4370 hours.
If one machine operates eight hours per day, five days per week and 50 weeks a year, it operates 5*8*50 = 2000 hours in total.
That's why we need 2 more machines ( 3 machines in total since 4370 > 2*2000).
