Answer:

b. Do not install the guard rail because the costs exceed the benefits

Explanation:

The cost of the guard rail is $70,000.

The average damage to a car that slides off the road at the curve is $10,000.

Number of cars the guard rail is expected to save from sliding off the road is 5.

Therefore, Total damage prevented/saved is 5 * $10,000= $50,000

Total cost of installing the guard rail is $70,000

So, the cost exceed the benefits.

It is expected the county will not install the guard rail because the total cost outweighs the benefits.

Corruption, Inc., uses process costing, they have overstated the percentage of work completed with respect to conversion cost on
forsale [732]

Answer:

(1) understated

(2) understaded

(3) unchanged

Explanation:

The amount of equivalent units will be higher as the ending inventory of work in process will be above of what it should be.

As we have more equivalent untis the cost per equivalent unit will be lower:

\frac{cost}{equivalent \:units}

So both, conversion cost and total cost per equivalent untis will e lower than it should be as are getting divided over a larger amount.

the physical amount of units worked during the month and those which are complete will not be affected as the percentage of completion is an accounting tool to calculate the cost not to count the amount of units in possession

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Kanban container size = 73

Number of kanbans needed = 5

Explanation:

Kanban container size (Q):

Q = SQRT [(2 x D x S) / H x (1 - d/p)]

where,

D = Annual demand  

S = Setup cost

H = Holding cost

d = Daily usage

p = Daily production

Putting the given values in the above formula,

CONTAINER SIZE = SQRT ((2 * ANNUAL DEMAND * SETUP COST) / (HOLDING COST * (1 - (DAILY USAGE / DAILY PRODUCTION))))

Q = SQRT [(2 x 4,000 x $30) / $125 x (1 - 16/25)]

Kanbans container size = 73 units  (Rounding off to the nearest whole number)

NUMBER OF KANBANS = DEMAND DURING LEAD TIME + SAFETY STOCK / SIZE OF CONTAINER

K = ((16 * 16) + (4 * 25) / 73 = 5
