Answer:

24%

Explanation:

The computation of the average rate of return is shown below;

As we know that

The Average rate of return = Net income ÷ Average investment

where,

Net income is

= (Selling price per unit - totat cost per unit) × additional units sales

= ($212 - $200) × $4,500 units

= $54,000

And, the average investment is

= (cost price + equipment) ÷ 2

= ($418,500 + $31,500) ÷ 2

= $225,000

So, the average rate of return is

= $54,000 ÷ $225,000 × 100

= 24%

Answer:

Galactic Inc.

Average Rate of Return: = Annual Net Income/Average Investment cost

= $54,000/$225,000 x 100

= 24%

Explanation:

Galactic Inc. Income Statement:

Sales Revenue, 4,500 x $212 = $954,000

Cost, 4,500 x $200 =                   900,000

Annual Net Income =                   $54,000

Average Investment in equipment = $225,000 ($418,500 + 31,500)/2

b) Galactic Inc.'s average rate of return (ARR) on the equipment is average (annual) net income that the equipment generates divided by the average cost of the investment, and then multiplied by 100.  The average cost of the investment equals the (initial book value + the residual value)/2.  The ARR also known as the Accounting Rate of Return does not take into consideration the time value of money.  As such, the net income is not discounted to the present value before the computation of the ratio.

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

A. 4; 3.83 units per hour

B. Increases by 4.44%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current period:

Output = 160 units

Input = 40 hours

Previous period:

Output = 138 units

Input = 36 hours

A. Current period productivity:

= Current period output ÷ Current period input

= 160 units ÷ 40 hours

= 4 units per hour

Previous period productivity:

= Previous period output ÷ Previous period input

= 138 units ÷ 36 hours

= 3.83 units per hour

B. Percentage change in worker's productivity:

= [(change in productivity) ÷ Previous period productivity] × 100

= [(4 - 3.83) ÷ 3.83] × 100

= (0.17 ÷ 3.83) × 100

= 0.0444 × 100

= 4.44%

Therefore, the worker's productivity increases by 4.44%.
