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

Grace [21]

Answer:

a. We have:

Days' cash on hand for Amazon = 77 days

Days' cash on hand for Netflix = 180 days

b. The results show Amazon can keep up with its expenses for 77 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales, while Netflix can keep up with its expenses for 180 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.

Explanation:

a. Determine the days' cash on hand for Amazon and Netflix.

Days' cash on hand = (Cash + Short term investment) / ((Operating expense - Depreciation expense) / 365) …………… (1)

Using equation (1), we have:

Days' cash on hand for Amazon = ($19,334 + $6,647) / (($131,801 - $8,116) / 365) = 77 days

Days' cash on hand for Netflix = ($1,468 + $266) / (($8,451 - $4,925) / 365) = 180 days

b. Interpret the results

The results show Amazon can keep up with its expenses for 77 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.

However, the results show that Netflix can keep up with its expenses for 180 days using the current cash reserves if it makes no sales.
