Answer: 204.76%
Explanation:
In the earlier scenario, furniture maker manufactured 47 (42 non defective) pieces per 5 laborers working 8 hours day.
Thus, the productivity in terms of units per labor hour is as follows:
= 1.05
Similarly, after the process improvement, the productivity in units per labor hour would be:
= 3.2
Thus change in productivity would be calculated as:
= 2.047 × 100
= 204.76%
Thus, the productivity of non defective parts would increase by 204.76%.
Answer:
The correct answer is Option A.
Explanation:
A. Losses on the sale of longminusterm assets are subtracted from net income - This is incorrect because on losses on sale of an asset are usually added to the net income to avoid double-counting of income. Under the investing section of the cash flows, the proceed received on disposal is recorded there as inflow, if the losses realized on the disposal are subtracted, there would be a double-counting because the losses had already reduced the net income before.
B. Increases in current liabilities are added to net income - This is an inflow of cash, so it is usually added back.
C. Depreciation expense is added to net income - The explanation under Option A above applies but only that depreciation is a non-cash item, which already reduced the net income and it has to be added back to reinstate the net income.
D. Gains on the sale of longminusterm assets are subtracted from net income - Explanation under Option A applies.
I encountered this question but it should have choices. The choices were
A) <span>decrease output and increase price.</span>
B) <span>not change output or price.</span>
C) <span>increase output and decrease price.</span>
D) <span>shut down.</span>
The firm should DECREASE OUTPUT AND INCREASE PRICE.
MC is greater than MR thus the need for decrease in output and increase in price.
The complete question is:
Ana was complaining about her workload before the staff meeting began. Later, when the manager announced that twelve parking spaces would be lost as a result of construction across the street, she raised her hand and said, "Then where, exactly, do you expect us to park?" The manager tried to provide some recommendations, but Ana continued to complain until the manager gave up and announced that the meeting was over.
What should Ana do to make the next meeting more effective and productive?
Answer:
Bring a positive attitude
Explanation:
In this scenario Ana was already frustrated by the excess workload she has before attending the meeting. So when the manager raised the issue of construction affecting parking spaces she expressed a negative reaction, and kept complaining until the manager gave up and announced that the meeting was over.
For the next meeting to be more productive Ana should bring a positive mindset, and consider recommendations provided by the manager.
This will result in her working collaboratively with the manager to find solutions to the parking space problem.
