Answer: D. All of the above

Explanation: The three options listed could explain why the productivity of labor increased with a reduction in the quantity of labor hired. The law of diminishing returns states that as more and more inputs of production are added, a time comes in when additional inputs causes no corresponding increase in productivity. At points like this a reduction in the input added would restore productivity.

Reducing the amount of labor obviously is a labour saving technical change. Changes in organizational innovation can also result in changes in productivity.

OLEGan [10]

Answer: Please see below

Explanation: The values from  the question are scattered, but here is how they should appear

                                                    Case A       Case B         Case C  

Net income                               $310,000         15,000 $420,000    

Depreciation expense                  40,000   150,000       80,000

Accounts receivable increase

(decrease                                      100,000 (200,000) (20,000)

Inventory increase (decrease)        (50,000)   35,000   50,000

Accounts payable increase           (50,000)   120,000   70,000

Accrued liabilities increase

(decrease)                                  60,000  (220,000) (40,000)

To calculate the operating activities section of cash flows for each of the given cases,

we use the Indirect method formula

Net cash flow from operating actvities  = Net Income + Non-Cash Expenses – Increase in Working Capital

Net cash flow from operating actvities =Net Income +/- Changes in Assets & Liabilities + Non-Cash Expenses

Net cash flow from operating actvities = Net Income + Depreciation + Stock Based Compensation + Deferred Tax + Other Non Cash Items – Increase in Accounts Receivable – Increase in Inventory + Increase in Accounts Payable + Increase in Accrued Expenses + Increase in Deferred Revenue

Following the formulae above, we can determine what expense should be added or subtracted to give the operating activities of cash flow below as

                                  Case A                   Case B               Case C

Net Income               $310,000                15,000         $420,000  

Net Income Adjustments to Reconcile Net Income to net Cash provided by operating activities

Depreciation                   40,000              150,000       80,000

Changes in Assets and Liabilities

Accounts Receivable        - 100,000       200,000           20,000

Inventory                              50,000           -35,000        - 50,000    

Accounts Payable            -50,000            120,000       70,000

Accrued Liabilities              60,000           - 220,000       -40,000

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

                                      $310,000         $230,000       $500,000
