Answer:

The productivity increase by 48.83%

Explanation:

old

60 units for 5 workers

5 x $12 = 60

material $16 x 60 = 960

overhead: 60 x 1.6 = 96

total revenue 60 x 31 =  1,860

total cosT: 60 + 960 + 96 = 1,116

productivity index_ 1,860 / 1,116 = 1,667

<em><u>now:</u></em>

output 60 + 25% = 75 units

6 workers x $12 = $72

materials $10 x 75 units = $750

overhead: $72 x 1.6 = $115.2

total revneue 75 units x $31 = 2,325

total cost: 75 + 750 + 115.2 = 940.2

productivity index_ 2,325 / 940.2 = 2,4728

percentage of improvement: ( it is calculate like a return on investment)

(2.4728 - 1.667) / 1.667 = 0.4883 = 48.83%

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

a. $58,400

Explanation:

A discounted note, will make the person receive a lesser amount than the amount due at maturity. This way the person who grants the note is receiving interest for borrowing.

<em><u>Calculations</u></em>

principal x discount rate x time = discount

<em><u>Where</u></em> rate and time should be expressed in the same metric IE if the rate is annual express time in portion of years if it is monthly, in months.

60,000 x 0.08 x 120/360 = 1,600

Now, we subtract this amount form the nominal:

nominal - discount = net

60,000 - 1,600 = <u>58,400</u>
