Note:
I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.
The Complete Question is as under:
Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?
A. $766
B. $29818
C. $3137
D. $3211
Answer:
Option D. $3,137
Explanation:
The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.
The amount saved last year would be:
Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137
Hence the option C is correct here.
Answer:
Year 1 = $1,100
Year 2 = $1,330
Year 3 = $1,550
Year 4 = $2,290
(a) If the discount rate is 6 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:
To solve this problem, we must find the FV of each cash flow and add them. To find the FV of a lump sum, we use:
= $6737.51
(b) If the discount rate is 14 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:
= $7415.17
(c) If the discount rate is 21 percent, then the future value of these cash flows in Year 4:
= $8061.47
Answer:
65 firms will be in the industry at the new long run equilibrium
Explanation:
in the long run the P=ATC
quantity before the change is
200 = 1000-4Q
4Q = 800
Q= 200
each firm output = Q/number of firms = 200 / 50
q = 4
new quantity is
200 = 1240-4Q
4Q = 1040
Q = 260
number of firms=new Q/q
=260/4 = 65
the number of firms is 65 in the long run.
I don't what the answer is but I will look for it
Answer:
d. Group Norm
Explanation:
Group Norms are informal rules that generally discourage behaviors that impede the efficacy of a group and and encourage the group to work efficiently.
They are regulations that groups adopt that ensure some form of order and they are also a reflection of the expectation of members of the group should interact and work.
Here, agreeing that members of the group will only discuss group-related matters at 1pm on Wednesdays is an example of a Group Norm because;
1. It is an unwritten rule
2. It is majorly to ensure that order is maintained so that the purpose of the group remains undefeated.
