Kearney, Inc., makes kitchen tools. Company management believes that a new model of coffee grinder would sell well at a price of

$66. The company estimates unit materials costs to be $16 for the model, and overhead costs would average $18 per unit. The local wage rate for direct labor is $28 per hour. Kearney has a goal of earning an operating profit of 20 percent of manufacturing costs for each of its products.
What direct labor-hour input could Kearney allow to still achieve its profit goal?

Answer:

$0.15 hours per unit

Explanation:

Given that

Direct material cost = $16

Assume Direct labor cost = X

Manufacturing overheads = $18

Profit margin = 20%

Direct labor per hour cost = $28

The computation of direct labor-hour input is shown below:-

Total manufacturing cost = X + $34

Total cost of goods sold = (X + $34) × 1.7 = $66

Direct labor cost per unit

= (X + $34) = $38.82

= $38.82 - $34

= $4.32

Direct labor hours per unit = Direct labor cost per unit ÷ Direct labor per hour cost

= $4.32 ÷ $28

= $0.15 hours per unit

inn [45]

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator. The CPI for this year is calculated by dividing <u>the value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year </u>using <u>this year's prices</u> by the<u> value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year</u> using <u>the base year's prices</u> and multiplying by 100. However, the GDP deflator reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by the consumers.

<u>Explanation:</u>

GDP is the gross domestic product of a country which specifies the level of growth of the country. The value of the goods and the services of the country produced by the people of the country are all reflected in the gross domestic product of the country.

Greater the rate of GDP is of a particular country, higher would be the growth of the country. It is also used as a measure of comparison of the growth rate of the country.

Identify and explain three reasons that an artist would elect to present content through abstract or non-representational form,
alexira [117]
There are at least 3 reasons why an artist would represent their ideas in abstract form. First, they may try to show the essential form or shape of the subject matter as in some paintings of the Group of Seven or Emily Carr in Canada in portraying snowy mountains or forests for example. Then, they may show disfigured people and horses screaming their outrage and dismay at being bombed like the painting of Guernica by Picasso to show outright rejection of the terrible bombing of Guernica in Spain by the Nazis in WWII. Also, color in an abstract painting can show the emotions of the painter such as in dark forests by Emily Carr to capture the feeling of being inside a dense forest of being closed in yet surrounded by wonderful vegetation.

Ber [7]

Answer:

Stock Price is $98.70

Explanation:

given data

exercise price = $100 per share

call price = $25 per share

put price = $17 per share

mature time = 2 years

annual rate of interest = 5%

to find out

What is the stock price today

solution

we will use here Put Call Parity for find out Stock Price that is express as

C + \frac{100}{(1+r)^t} = S + P    .....................1

here C is call price and r is rate and t is time and S is Stock Price and P is put price so put all value in equation 1

C + \frac{100}{(1+r)^t} = S + P

25 + \frac{100}{(1+0.5)^2} = S + 17

solve it we get

P = $98.70

so Stock Price is $98.70

Statement: "Whenever a company’s activities reduce the quality of life for nearby homeowners, the company should be legally requ
olganol [36]

Answer:

2) assumption not made

Explanation:

The original statement does not include any assumption about what the companies are doing about this issue, it just proposes an idea of fair compensation.

maybe whoever wrote this statement believes that very few companies or none at all actually compensate homeowners for a reduction in the market value of their properties, but it doesn't state it. It is also possible that the statement assumes that companies are paying some compensations or were paying some compensations but are not willing to continue to do it since no legislation forces them to do so. The author's position is vague and not clear with respect to what the companies are currently doing.
