If labor costs are 60 percent of production costs, then a 15 percent increase in wage rates would increase production costs by <u>9 percent.</u>

<h3>What are labor costs?</h3>
  • The total of all employee wages, employee benefits, and payroll taxes paid by an employer constitutes the labor costs. Direct and indirect (overhead) labor costs are separated.
  • While indirect costs are related to labor costs, such as personnel who maintain industrial equipment, direct costs include wages for the employees who make a product, including those on an assembly line.
  • While indirect costs are related to support labor, such as personnel who maintain industrial equipment, direct costs include wages for the employees who make a product, including those on an assembly line.
  • The price of goods or services may fluctuate away from their genuine cost if labor costs are poorly allocated or evaluated, which could hurt earnings.

Internal controls that should be applied when a business takes a physical count of inventory should include all of the following
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

e) Counters of inventory should be those who are responsible for the inventory.

Explanation:

Having different people do the physical counting of inventory guarantees the integrity of the count. The staff in charge of inventory are probably aware of any variances as they conduct regular checks. Having different people count eliminates the possibility of number manipulation by the staff responsible for the stock.

Before a stock count, all operations should be halted. Items received during the stock count should be separated and not counted. There should be a document giving instructions to staff to ensure consistency.

As a measure of internal control, all stocks should be identified with a numbered tag. The supervisor should ensure proper tagging has been done. Where possible, counters will be organized in teams of two so that each item goes through two counts. Assign groups to count items which are not in their direct responsibility. Should there be a variance, a separate team should be allowed to counter check.

Answer:

Mr. Manning

a. YHA is the best expected value decision with an expected value of $59,766.

b. HTC is the worst expected value decision.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Stock    Market Rising    Market Stable    Market Falling

SUA          $68,082              $47,373              $36,362

YSP           $64,850             $49,320              $44,865

HTC           $57,198             $52,949              $50,605

YHA          $59,766             $59,766              $59,766

Expected Value:

Stock     Market Rising    Market Stable    Market Falling   Expected Value

Probability    60%                   30%                   10%

SUA          $68,082*60%   $47,373*30%    $36,362*10%     =  $58,697

YSP          $64,850*60%   $49,320*30%    $44,865*10%     =     58,163

HTC          $57,198*60%   $52,949*30%    $50,605*10%     =   55,264

YHA         $59,766*60%   $59,766*30%    $59,766*10%     =   59,766

SUA = $40,849.20 + $14,211.90 + $3,636.20 = $58,697.30

YSP = $38,880 + $14,796 + $4,486.50 = $58,162.50

HTC = $34,318.80 + $15,884.70 + $5,060.50 = $55,264

YHA = $35,859.60 + $17,929.80 + $5,976.60 = $59,766
