Imagine you have some workers and some handheld computers that you can use to take inventory at a warehouse. There are diminishi

ng returns to taking inventory. If one worker uses one computer, he can inventory 100 items per hour. Two workers sharing a computer can together inventory 150 items per hour. Three workers sharing a computer can together inventory 160 items per hour. And four or more workers sharing a computer can together inventory fewer than 160 items per hour. Computers cost $100 each and you must pay each worker $25 per hour. If you assign one worker per computer, what is the cost of inventorying a single item? What if you assign two workers per computer? Three? How many workers per computer should you assign if you wish to minimize the cost of inventorying a single item?

Answer:

Explanation:

For computing the  cost of inventorying, we have to apply the formula which is shown below:

= Total costs ÷ Number of items

1. Cost of inventorying = Total costs ÷ Number of items

                                     = $125 ÷ 100 items

                                     = $1.25

Total cost = $100 + $25 = $125

2. Cost of inventorying = Total costs ÷ Number of items

                                     = $150 ÷ 150 items

                                     = $1

Total cost = $100 + $25 + $25 = $150

3. Cost of inventorying = Total costs ÷ Number of items

                                     = $175 ÷ 160 items

                                     = $1.10

Total cost = $100 + $25 + $25 + $25 = $175

$25 is the each worker pay

To minimize the cost we required two workers as the cost of inventorying is lesser than other two.

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Production= 76,500

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Motorcycle Manufacturers, Inc. projected sales of 76,000 machines for 2010. The estimated January 1, 2010, inventory is 6,500 units, and the desired December 31, 2010, inventory is 7,000 units.

We need to use the  following formula:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 76,000 + 7,000 - 6,500

Production= 76,500

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Assets understated by $510,000, liabilities understated by $153,000 and shareholders' equity understated by $357,000.

Explanation:

An understatement of closing inventory will have the following effects,

First of all the inventory as an asset is understated by $510,000

Second, this inventory was subject to deduction from the Cost of goods sold as, Cost of goods sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory.

Since this amount was not subtracted from the CGS, the gross profit and ultimately the Net profits were understated by $510,000.

This will be added in the net profits.

With an increase in net profits, the tax payable amount also increases. This is calculated as 510,000 * 0.30 = $153,000

So total change in profits is = 510,000 - 153,000 = $357,000

While $153,000 is still payable and is recorded as a tax payable liability.

Thus,

Assets understated by $510,000

Liabilities Understated by $153,000 (tax payable)

Share holders equity understated by $357,000 (part of retained profits)

Hope that helps.
