A likely reason that a company would move its facility from one location to another is that they would like to access various modes of transportation, such as boats and/or railroad.
Answer:
- Difference in scientific judgements
- A. Employers should not be restricted from outsourcing work to foreign nations.
Explanation:
The difference in opinion between these two is based on a difference between in scientific judgments because they believe that different things will happen in response to implementing a different form of taxes.
Regardless of what they think in the above regard, these economists are most likely to support the outsourcing of work if it is cheaper to do so because economists generally believe that the most efficient method of production should be undertaken.
Answer:
The answer is: 14,400 different production sequences are possible
Explanation:
For this calculation I will assume that the first 5 operations can be made in any order, as well as the last 5.
For the first set of machining operations, since they can go in any order, you choose one operation and then you have 4 operations left, then you choose another operation and you have 3 operations left, then you choose another operation and you have 2 operations left, you choose another option and you have only 1 operation left. This process can be expressed by the following equation: 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 possible different combinations. Mathematically it can also be expressed as 5! = 120
The same for the last 5 assembly operations, you have 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120 possible different combinations.
So to get the total possible combinations of all the process, we just multiply 120 x 120 = 14,000 or 5! x 5! = 14,400
Answer:
1. accounting records continuously disclose the amount of inventory.
Explanation:
The periodic inventory system is the accounting method of calculating the value of inventory at the end of a specified period of time. Under this system, updates are made on a periodic basis rather than after every sale or purchase of inventory. It continuously tracks the record of inventory by physically counting the inventory and the cost of inventory is calculated by using the inventory calculation method, such as FIFO, LIFO, and weighted averages.
Answer:
The WACC of the firm is 11.91%
Explanation:
The WACC or weighted average cost of capital is the rate of return that a business is expected to pay to all of its security holders- bonds, common stock, preferred stock- or is the cost of capital for the business.
To calculate the WACC, we use the following formula,
WACC = D/A * (1-tax rate) * rD + E/A * rE
Where,
- D/A and E/A is the weightage of debt and assets as a proportion of total assets
- rD * (1-tax rate) is the after tax cost of debt
- rE is the cost of equity or required rate of return on equity
We first need to calculate the required rate of return on equity (r). We will use the CAPM formula for r.
r = 0.034 + 1.37 * 0.082
r = 0.14634 or 14.634%
The total assets are equal to,
Assets = Debt + Equity
If for every $1 of equity, there is $0.45 of debt as given by debt-equity ratio.
Then,
Assets = 0.45 + 1
Assets = $1.45
WACC = 0.45/1.45 * (1-0.23) * 0.076 + 1/1.45 * 0.14634
WACC = 0.11908 or 11.908% rounded off to 11.91%
