You and your friends hike a total of 8 miles to the nearest campsite (Activity A). Upon arriving you break off into teams. One t

eam will set up tents and hammocks for everyone to sleep in (Activity B). At the same time, another team will get wood for a fire (Activity C). Once they have the wood, that same team then proceeds to start the fire (Activity D). The third team will walk to find water (Activity E) and once they find it they will to collect water and bring it back to camp (Activity F). Once the fire is ready and the water is brought back to camp the two groups- the one collecting firewood and the one collecting water- will then purify the water (Activity G). Once the camp is set up and the water is purified everyone will come together and cook dinner around the campfire (Activity H). Once dinner is prepared and eaten half of the group stays behind to put out the fire (Activity I) and half of the group walks away from the campsite to dispose of the food waste (Activity J). After disposing of the food waste the second half of the group returns to the camp (Activity K). Once everyone is at the campsite the day of camping ends

Answer:

a. The critical path is 16 minutes.

b. The length of time to complete the entire process = 23 minutes.

Explanation:

                                    to complete         to Complete          to Complete

A Hike to the campsite       3                          5                          8

E Find water                        0.5                       1                           3

F Collect water & bring it

back to camp                       1                          2                          4

G Purify the water               1                          2                          4

H Cook and eat dinner       1                          3                          4

I Put out fire                         1                          2                         4

J Dispose of food waste    0.5                      2                          3

K Return from food

 waste disposal                0.25                     1                           2

Total time                         12.25                  27                          45

Critical path: Activity A - Activity B

                     Activity A - Activity C 3 - Activity D 2 - Activity E 1 - Activity F 2

Activity G 2 - Activity H 3 - Activity I and J 2 - Activity K 1

= 3 + 2 + 1 + 2+ 2 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 16 minutes

Length of time to complete the entire process = 27 - 4 = 23

The critical path identifies the longest stretch of dependent activities and measuring the time required to complete them from start to finish.

During Year 5, Tedd Co. became involved in a tax dispute with the IRS. At December 31, Year 5, Tedd's tax advisor believed that
kkurt [141]

Answer:

$400,000

Explanation:

Since at December 31, Year 5, Tedd's tax advisor believed that an unfavorable outcome was <u>probable</u>. And a <u>reasonable estimate </u>of additional taxes was $400,000 but could be as much as $600,000.

Although after the Year 5 financial statements were issued, Tedd received and accepted an IRS settlement offer of $450,000.

Tedd should have included an amount of $400,000 as accrued liability in its December 31, Year 5 balance sheet

The reason is that according to the International Financial Reporting Standards, a PROVISION must be made as long as the conditions below were obtainable at year end.

- Existing Condition (which in this case is the tax dispute with the IRS)

- Probable Cash Outflow (which Tedd's Tax adviser confirmed)

- Reliable Estimate of Outflow ( which the scenario stated ''A reasonable estimate of additional taxes was $400,000'')

Hence, such 'reasonable estimate is the appropriate amount for inclusion in the financial statements.

Machine related= 7000/7000= $1

Machine setups= 23400/ 600= $39

Production orders= 16500/500= $33

Product testing=  22400/800= $28

Packaging= 62900/3700= $17

General factory= 60000/10000= $6

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Under a just-in-time inventory system, a company can reduce the amount of working capital it needs to finance inventory, freeing capital for other uses and/or lowering the total capital requirements of the enterprise.

In Business management, Just-in-time (JIT) is an inventory management method used by a company wherein goods, products, components, and labor are made available exactly when needed or just few hours before they are needed in the production process.

Basically, It is an inventory management system that companies use to reduce wastage to the barest minimum, thereby, freeing capital for other uses and/or lowering the total capital requirements of the enterprise.

<em>Hence, just-in-time when used judiciously can help a company reduce the amount of working capital it needs to finance inventory management. </em>
