Portsmouth Company makes upholstered furniture. Its only variable cost is direct materials. The demand for the company's product

s far exceeds its manufacturing capacity. The bottleneck (or constriant) in the production process is upholstery labor-hours. Information concerning three of Portsmouth's upholstered chairs appears below: Recliner Sofa Love Seat Selling price per unit $ 1,400 $ 1,800 $ 1,500 Variable cost per unit $ 800 $ 1,200 $ 1,000 Upholstery labor-hours per unit 8 hours 10 hours 5 hours Required: 1. Portsmouth is considering paying its upholstery laborers additional compensation to work overtime. Assuming that this extra time would be used to produce sofas, up to how much of an overtime premium per hour should the company be willing to pay to keep the upholstery shop open after normal working hours? 2. A small nearby upholstering company has offered to upholster furniture for Portsmouth at a price of $45 per hour. The management of Portsmouth is confident that this upholstering company’s work is high quality and their craftsmen can work as quickly as Portsmouth’s own craftsmen on the simpler upholstering jobs such as the Love Seat. How much additional contribution margin per hour can Portsmouth earn if it provides the raw materials to the nearby company and then hires it to upholster the Love Seats? 3. Should Portsmouth hire the nearby upholstering company?

Which of the following would LEAST likely foster diversity in the workplace?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": changing the culture through diversity training education programs.

Explanation:

Boosting diversity at the workplace is an activity that mainly relies on the representatives of the Human Resources (HR) Department. They are in charge of recruiting and selecting the applicants that will be part of the institution based on their capabilities and expertise. Thus, HR representatives could promote the selection of different individuals from different ages, races, gender, ethnicity, and nationality, without preferring one or another, so the working environment will be diversified and the company can take advantage of the different backgrounds of those new hires.

Therefore, <em>training other employees could improve the understanding of other employees on dealing with workers different than them but this does not foster diversity in the workplace.</em>
