Explanation:

1,300 / 200 = 6.5

we are going to hire between 6 and 7 welder as we are given the requirement "for every 200 hours or fewer in a month" we should round above and not below: 7 welder. Besides, we cannot hire "half" or "quarter" of an employee therefore we have to move between integer solutions.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Prior principal approval must be obtained and a copy of the speech must be retained in your firm's Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction

Explanation:

Because the speech is to be givento 35 attendees, it is under the Retail Communication. Every speech should be honest and of good taste; and the speech must be informational, but far from promotional.

It is not required that the speech content has to be pre-filed with the SEC. A copy must be kept a period of f 3 years for inspection by FINRA examiners. The speech script would be kept on file in the firm's supervisory compliance office that is the Office of Supervisory Jurisdiction.

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

a. Labor variances for 14 PT staff:

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($50 - $52) x 1.40 x 2,604

= $7291.20 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= [(1.20 * 2,604) - (1.40 * 2,604)] * $50

= [3,124.80 - 3,645.60] * $50

= $26,040 (Unfavorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $7,291.20 (Unfavorable) + $ 26,040 (Unfavorable)

= $33,331.20 (Unfavorable)

Labor variances for 10 SD staff:

Labor rate variance = (Standard Rate – Actual Rate) x (Actual time per app) * (number of apps. completed)

= ($45 - $47) * 1.20 * 1,600

= $3840 (Unfavorable)

Labor Efficiency variance = [(Standard hours per app. X number of app.) - (Actual time per App. * number of apps.)] * Std. rate

= (1.40*1,600) – (1.20*1,600)]*$45

= [2,240 – 1,920] * $45

= $14,400 (Favorable)

Labor Cost variance = Labor rate variance + Labor efficiency variance

= $3,840 (Unfavorable) + $ 14,400 (Favorable)

= $10,560 (Favorable)

There are 3 options:

1. Using current software:

Av time=40 min

Researcher's cost=$2 a min

Total cost=40*2=80

Productivity per dollar input=Fees charged from clients/total cost to firm= 400/80=$5

2.

Using company A's software

Av time=30min

Cost of reducing av time=$3.5

Researcher's cost=$2

Total =30*2+3.5=63.50

Productivity per dollar input=400/63.5=6.3

3.

Using company B's software

Av time = 28 min

Cost of reducing av time=$3.6

Researcher's cost=$2

Total cost=28*2+3.6=59.6

Productivity per dollar input=400/59.6=$6.71
