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

melomori [17]

The option that makes the most sense for the party by Mr and Mrs Atoll is one case of 24 sodas at $18.50.

<h3>Why this option is the cheapest</h3>

The reason for this is that given the guests they are entertaining, this option is the most cheapest and effective.

How to calculate for the way that the drink would go round

a. Each bottle is $1.5. Two bottles for 1 = 1.5x2 = 3 dollars

b. six packs at 5$. One= $0.88

c. A case of 24 sodas at $18.5. one soda is going to be 18.5/24 = $0.77

d. Two cases of 24 soda at 18.5 = $1.54

Given the calculations that have been done above, option c at $0.77 is the cheapest. It would require them to send the less money in getting sodas that would go round twice for 10 people.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$172.25

Explanation:

initial outlay for the project = -$350

cash flow years 1-5 = [($300 - $135 - $70) x (1 - 36%)] + $70 (depreciation expense) = $60.80 + $70 = $130.80

using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function, we can calculate the project's NPV with an 8% discount rate:

=NPV(8%,130.80,130.80,130.80,130.80,130.80) - $350 = $522.25 - $350 = $172.25

we can also do it manually:

NPV = -$350 + $130.80/1.08 + $130.80/1.08² + $130.80/1.08³ + $130.80/1.08⁴ + $130.80/1.08⁵ = $172.25

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

B. To plan production, marketing, and budgets

Explanation:

A company needs to know accurately the demand for a good or service because it has to determine what kind of customer it is and plan the marketing accordingly. Additionally, that information will be valuable in planning plan its production volume. And afterward, with that information in hands, knowing fixed and varied costs, marketing costs and others, plan the budget accordingly. Pricing, fixed costs, demand slope, and potential sales will be determined by other factors that can include but are not limited to demand estimation.

to estimate its cost of capital. You obtained the following data: D1 = $1.75; P0 = $42.50; g = 7.00% (constant); and F = 5.00%.

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

11.33%

Explanation:

The dividend valuation model will be used here to calculate the cost of equity raised which can be calculated using the following formula:

r = D1 / (Po - F) + g

Here D1, Po, F and g are given in the question so by putting the values in the equation, we have

r = $1.75 / ($42.5 - 5% of Po) + 7%

r = 11.33%

Suppose the marginal propensity to consume is 0.75 and the government spending multiplier is 4. If the government decreases its

kvasek [131]

Answer:

Left by $400; Left by $300

Explanation:

Given that,

Marginal propensity to consume, MPC = 0.75

Government spending multiplier = 4

(a) If the government decreases its purchases by $100 million, then the magnitude of the shift in aggregate demand curve is calculated by multiplying the change in government spending to the government spending multiplier.

Aggregate demand curve shift left by

= Change in government spending × Government spending multiplier

= $100 × 4

= $400 million

(b) If the government increases income taxes by $100 million, then the magnitude of the shift in aggregate demand curve is calculated by multiplying the change in taxes to the tax multiplier.

Tax multiplier:

= MPC ÷ (1 - MPC)

= 0.75 ÷ (1 - 0.75)

= 0.75 ÷ 0.25

= 3

Aggregate demand curve shift left by

= Change in taxes × Tax multiplier

= $100 × 3

= $300 million
