37. Wal-Mart surveys its employees annually as part of its "Grass Roots" program. The survey is designed to assess employees’ pe

rceptions on work-related issues. Results are tabulated by store, and the top three concerns are posted at each store. Formerly known as the Union Potential Index, the Unresolved People Index (UPI) is used to identify stores at risk of union organizing activity. Is the use of the UPI legal under the NLRA?

Answer: Yes it is.

Explanation:

The National Labour Relations Act of 1935 was passed to cater for both employees and employers. It gave both parties rights and advocates for Collective bargaining. Perhaps most key about this act is it's protection of the rights of employees to join unions and be able to engage in Union activities to improve their working condition.

Under this Act, it is illegal to terminate, suspend or take any other adverse action against an employee for their union actions.

It is under this last paragraph that this question falls.

If Wal-Mart had acted in anyway adverse towards employees based on the Unresolved People Index (UPI) alone, then their actions would have been illegal. They did not, so they are operating in legal territory.

Answer:

SafeRide, Inc.

a. The financial implications of accepting the order are that total production cost will increase by $315,000 with a corresponding increase in sales revenue of $540,000, and an increase in net income by $225,000.

b. Under full capacity, the total production cost will increase by $1,485,000 for adding additional facilities while the sales revenue would increase by $540,000, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

c. Under full-capacity circumstances, there is a financing disadvantage of accepting the order because the order will entail additional capacity and facilities, resulting to a loss of $945,000.

Explanation:

Annual production capacity = 300,000 units

Current production capacity = 180,000 units

Special order from a German manufacturer = 60,000 units

Special order price per unit = $9.00

Budgeted Costs For      180,000 Units  240,000 Units  Difference 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                 $450,000           $600,000       $150,000

Direct labor                           315,000             420,000          105,000

Factory overhead              1,215,000           1,260,000           45,000

Total                                  1,980,000          2,280,000       $300,000

Selling and administrative 765,000              780,000            15,000

Total                              $2,745,000        $3,060,000        $315,000

Costs per unit

Manufacturing                       $11.00                  $9.50

Selling and administrative       4.25                     3.25

Total                                     $15.25                  $12.75

Selling price to North American manufacturers = $20 per unit

Financial implications of accepting the order:

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000

Direct labor                           105,000

Factory overhead                  45,000

Total                                  $300,000

Selling and administrative    15,000

Total                                  $315,000

Total cost per unit = $5.25 ($315,000/60,000)

Total manufacturing cost per unit = $5 ($300,000/60,000)

Increase in net income from accepting the order = $225,000 ($9.00 - $5.25) * 60,000

Manufacturing costs

Direct materials                  $150,000 (variable)

Direct labor                           105,000 (variable)

Factory overhead              1,215,000

Total                                $1,470,000

Selling and administrative    15,000 (assumed to be variable)

Total                               $1,485,000

Unit cost per additional unit = $24.75

bija089 [108]

Answer:

7.5 to 467.5.

Explanation:

Please note that In order to be fast, I make use of excel during the Calculation.

So, the first thing to do is to make sure that the observation is arranged in an increasing order.

Step one: Calculate the value for J1 and J3.

Know that J1 = J3. Where J3 = 3rd quartile.

Hence, J1 = 1st QUARTILE = QUARTILE. EXC (data, 1) = 18.

Also, J3 = QUARTILE. EXC(data, 3). = 29.5.

Therefore, the difference between the first quartile and the third QUARTILE = 29.5 - 18 = 11.5.

Step two: calculate the value for the higher fence and the lower fence respectively.

Thus, for the higher fence we have;

J3 + 1.5( 11.5).

= 29.5 + 1.5(11.5).

= 46.75.= (46.75 × 10) = 467.5).

Then, for the lower fence;

J1 - 1.5( 11.5).

= 18 - 1.5(11.5).

= 0.75 = (.75 × 10) = 7.5.

Basile [38]

Answer:

Ryan takes the supplier representatives out for lunch and thanks them for being such great friends.

Explanation:

Ryan taking the supplier representatives out for lunch and thanking them for being such great friends is a less-than straightforward way of saying no and ending the working relationship.

From the supplier's perspective, Ryan taking the time to take them out on a lunch would suggest he's trying to show gratitude, so as to foster their existing business relationships.

On the other hand, coming to realize that it was his way of saying no and ending the working relationship between them would make the supplier representatives disappointed and making Ryan look less-than straightforward.
