Tang Company accumulates the following data concerning raw materials in making its finished product:
Delvig [45]

Answer:

1. $2.60

2. 4 pounds

3. $10.40

Explanation:

Given that,

Price per pound of raw materials = $2.30

Freight-in = $0.20

Receiving and handling = $0.10

Quantity per gallon of the finished product—required materials = 3.60 pounds

Allowance for waste and spoilage = 0.40 pounds

1. Standard materials price per gallon:

=  Price per pound of raw materials + Freight-in + Receiving and handling

= $2.30 + $0.20 + $0.10

= $2.60

2. Standard materials quantity per gallon:

=   Quantity required materials + Allowance for waste and spoilage

= 3.60 pounds + 0.40 pounds

= 4 pounds

3. Standard materials cost per gallon:

=  Standard materials price per gallon × Standard materials quantity per gallon

= $2.60 × 4

= $10.40

Theoretical Utilization = {p/(ma)}×100

Where we have our variables as,

p=16

m=4

a=5

Imputing variables into the formula we have

Theoretical utilization = {16÷(4×5)}×100

patriot [66]

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, the missing question read;

Version 1: George walks away. He never talks to Elaine or Jerry again.

Version 2: George confronts Elaine, saying “I am angry about what you have been saying. I do not want you spreading rumors about me. If you have a problem, please see me about it.”

Version 3: George yells at Elaine to shut u.p and then confronts his boss demanding to know why he’s going to be fired.

Version 4: George demands that Elaine tell him where she heard that. Elaine tells him not to worry about it and tries to crack a joke about how much the boss is late.

Answer:

  • <u>Version 1: non-confrontational</u>
  • <u>Version 2: cooperative</u>
  • <u>Version 3: confrontational</u>
  • <u>Version 4: confrontational and cooperative</u>

Explanation:

1. In this scenario it is evident that George avoids confrontation with Elaine. In fact, we are told that "[He] walks away..."

2. In this scenario, however, we notice a cooperative deposition between George and Elaine. He made this lear when he said, "...If you have a problem, please see me about it.”

3. Confrontation occurs in this scenario as we are told that "George... then confronts his boss demanding to know why he’s going to be fired. "

4.  By demanding "that Elaine tells him where she heard that" indicates confrontation. While Elaine's cracking a joke about how much the boss is late shows cooperation.
