Answer:
The answer is d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock.
Explanation:
Let re-visit to the concept of Fixed cost before applying to the questions.
Fixed costs are costs which are unchanged given changes in production level.
a. payment to a electric utility is not fixed cost because higher level of production required higher electricity consumption which leads to higher cost of electricity.
b. cost of raw material is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the higher the raw material required for production.
c. wages to hire assembly line workers is not fixed cost because the higher the production level, the more workers required and the higher the wages will be.
d. payment to hire a security worker to guard the gate to the factory around the clock is fixed cost because regardless of the production level, the security worker will work for the same amount of time and receive the same level of payment as his workload is much likely to remain the same.
So, d is the correct choice.
Answer:
Design Capacity Utilization= 75%
Production efficiency = 120%
Explanation:
Okay, so the question is to determine both the design and the effective capacity utilization measures and make a conclusion from there
1. The Capacity Utilization = The Actual Output/ Design Capacity
Actual Output= 300 hamburgers a day
Design Capacity = 400 Hamburgers a day
Therefore Capacity Utilization = 300 hamburgers/400 hamburgers x 100
= 75%
2. The Efficiency of the production = The Actual Output / The Effective Capacity
Actual Output = 300 Hamburgers a day
Effective Capacity = 250 hamburgers
= 300 Hamburgers/ 250 Hamburgers x 100
= 120%
Conclusion
First we see that the actual utilization of capacity is more better than the effective capacity and this is good. Also, the Design Capacity is higher than the actual capacity utilization which should also be expected as design capacity is a calculation based on ideal conditions that may be not realistic in real life conditions.
This most likely depicts an ethical problem because children may be deceived about what Barbie can do.
As some of these ads mix cartoon-type animation and “real” shots of the dolls, children may think that their Barbies can do specific types of actions based from the advertisement. This would also most likely lead to broken Barbies because children may copy the things that they saw in the ads. This is somewhat a form of false advertising.
Answer:
Unlimited Liability
Explanation:
Jason, Jeanette, and their eight other friends are forming an unlimited liability corporation, which exist in a few Canadian provinces (Alberta, Nova Scotia, and British Columbia).
In unlimited liablity corporations, as the name implies, partners have unlimited liability in case of bankruptcy or default. This means that if the company fails, partners do not only provide their capital contributions, but also their personal wealth. (for example, their houses, cars, appliances, etc).
