Use of the gdp deflator allows economists to estimate the real rate of growth of the economy.

Saludable Company produces two types of get-well cards: scented and regular. Drivers for the four activities are as follows:

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

1.Consumption ratios for the four drivers in relation to both the cards will be consumption for a particular card/total consumption for both the cards which will be as follows :-

Scented cards Regular cards Inspection hours 100/190=0.53 90/190=0.47 Set up hours 90/120=0.75 30/120=0.25 Machine hours 170/800=0.21 630/800=0.79 Number of moves 210/265=0.79 55/265=0.21

2 .There has been diversification of different activities or drivers among both the products, thus increasing significance of activity Based distribution of overheads. Since if we use blanket rate for allocation of overhead on the basis of machine hours, it will certainly leads to a distorted view as machine hours are significantly higher in case of regular cards whereas consumption of other resources is comparatively lower for it. This, in such a situation its significance certainly gets increased.

3. Activity rates which could be used to assign cost to each product will be calculated as Total cost for the driver/number of units of that driver. It is calculated in the table as follows :-

(A) ( B ) number of units (C=A=B) cost per unit Driver/activity total (hours) of (hour) of cost driver/activity driver/activity

Total cost for the driver/number of units of that driver. It is calculated in the table as follows :-

Driver/activity (A) total cost ( B ) number of units (hours) of driver/activity (C=A=B) cost per unit (hour) of driver/activity Inspecting products 4930 190 (100+90) 25.95 Setting up equipment 4700 120 (90+30) 39.17 Machining 6500 800 (170+630) 8.13 Moving material 1370 265 (210+55) 5.17

4 . We have total inspection cost as 4930 And activity rate for inspecting product is $20per inspecting hour This total inspecting hours will be = 4930/20=246.5 hours Thus total inspection hours would be 246.5.

Powers Corporation has provided the following information for its most recent month of operation: sales $16,000; ending inventor

Elza [17]

Answer:

The beginning inventory was $2000.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the Cost of Goods sold. The cost of Goods sold is the difference between the Sales and the gross profit. Thus, the cost of goods sold is 16000 - 10000 = $6000

The value of the beginning inventory for the period can be calculated by using the Cost of Goods sold formula. The cost of goods sold is calculated as:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory

Plugging in the available figures in the formula,

6000 = Beginning Inventory + 8000 - 4000

6000 = Beginning inventory + 4000

6000 - 4000 = Beginning Inventory

Beginning Inventory = $2000

You just ended a meeting with Ming (one of your six employees), who gave you some disturbing information. She feels she is being

Ksju [112]

Answer:Do you think Ming is correct in saying Mindy is bullying her?

Yes , she is right, Mindy is definitely bullying her.

What are the indications of bullying?

Bullying doesn't only occur physically but also psychologically and and emotionally,especially in a place of work it can de identified by mistreatment of the other person,verbal abuse , threatening and humiliating the other person.

The bullied person is outcastes , alienated , excluded and ignored like what Mindy is doing, ignoring Ming while he greet everyone else , excluding her by not inviting her in a farewell lunch , eventhough all other colleagues are invited by Mindy.

Spreading false rumours is also part of bullying .

He also critized her publicly by publicly sharing an email about a loss of a client caused by Ming .

These are all signs of abuse.

What advice would you give to Ming?

She will need to keep record or document everything so that when she decides to take the matter further , she may be able to submit proof of what has been happening to her,this will give evidence.

How would you handle this situation with Mindy, without embarrassing Ming?

I think talking to Mindy in an objective way without including Ming's name will be helpful since Mindy has publicly shared his bullying activities. I can actual point out things that are not allowed at work and how certain things can be harmful and degrading to other employees. Make him see how certain behavior affects other employees and how this can be a serious issue that can affect the company and affects even Mindy himself .
