Answer:

The question continues ; b) Suppose that in the next month, the same work group produced 600 units but there were only 20 workdays in the month. Using the same productivity measures as before, determine the productivity index using the prior month as a base.

Explanation:

given 5 workers produced 500units working 8hrs/day for 22days

We calculate the output unit for each per worker for a month, a day and an hr;

Monthly output unit = 500/5 = 100 = LPR = Productivity ratios

daily output unit = 500/ 5x22 = 4.545 = LPR

hourly output unit = 500/ 22x8x5 = 0.568 = LPR

similarly for 600units produced by the same number but in 20days

Monthly output unit = 600/5 = 120 = LPR = Productivity ratios

daily output unit = 600/ 5x20 = 6.0 = LPR

hourly output unit = 600/ 20x8x5 = 0.75 = LPR

To calculate their productivity index ;

LPI = 120/100 = 1.2 = Monthly output unit

LPI = 6.0/4.545 = 1.32 = daily output unit

LPI = 0.75/0.568 = 1.32 = hourly output unit

Tasya [4]

LIFO uses the last unit costs for Cost of Goods Sold on the income statement and the first unit costs for Inventory on the balance sheet.

LIFO means last in first out. It means that it is the last purchased inventory that is the first to be sold.

For example, if beginning inventory consists of 10 units at $10 per unit. In the middle of the month, 10 units were bought at $15 per unit. At the end of the month, 10 units were sold. Using LIFO, the cost of goods sold would be $150 ( 10 x 15). Ending inventory would be $100 ($10 x 10).

Answer:

Yes it is copyright infringement.

In order for someone to transfer any material (in this case music) digitally or online, it must be copied first. So when someone produces a digital sampling of copyrighted material, no matter if it only lasts a couple of seconds, it constitutes copyright infringement.

Answer: When a company is able to offer a good product and enjoy strong customer demand, a franchise owner not only is able to take advantage of the corporate identity but its strong customer base, as well.

A franchise is a kind of a license which allows the party who acquires it (franchisor) access to an business' (franchisor's) proprietary knowledge and processes in order to sell products or provide services under the franchisor's name.

A franchisee associates itself with a well proven business model and gains access to the franchisor's customer base. Additionally, the franchisor provides assistance by training the franchisee and his personnel to provide a uniform product or service experience to customers across all the stores.

All these factors help in eliminating business risk and this constitutes a real advantage to a franchise.

The average time (in minutes) Americans spend commuting to work is: 26.9 minutes.

<h3>How to calculate the average time Americans spend commuting to work?</h3>

To calculate the average time we must add all the values and then divide the result by the number of values. for example:

1 + 2 + 3 = 6 6 ÷ 3 = 2

Based on the above, the operation to find the average time Americans spend commuting to work is:

23,3 + 28,3 + 24,6 + 32,1 + 31,7 + 25,8 + 38,1 + 24,9 + 26,8 + 23,4 + 28,5 + 28,1 + 29,3 + 24,4 + 23,0 + 24,8 + 26,2 + 23,4 + 28,4 + 20,1 + 32,2 + 21,4 + 23,8 + 30,7 + 24,8 + 23,6 + 25,3 + 31,7 + 43,8 + 22,0 + 27,1 + 34,2 + 28,3 + 25,0 + 26,4 + 23,6 + 23,4 + 25,8 + 20,2 + 26,1 + 24,8 + 32,6 + 28,5 + 27,3 + 26,8 + 24,0 + 20,1 + 32,8 = 1291,5

Then we must divide this result by the number of values.

1291,5 ÷ 48 = 26,9
