Answer:

A. $74,100 $954,700

B. $880,600

Explanation:

A. Preparation to estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT

Current situation After JIT

Sales 1,430,000 1,810,000

Less costs

Production level support 214,500 72,400

(15%*1,430,000=214,500)

(4%*1,810,000=72,400)

Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 181,000

(28%*1,430,000=400,400)

(10%*1,810,000=181,000)

Direct material 429,000 362,000

(30%*1,430,000=429,000)

(20%*1,810,000=362,000)

Direct manufacturing labor 286,000 235,300

(20%*1,430,000=286,000)

(13%*1,810,000=235,300)

Inventory financing costs 26,000 4,600

(10%*260,000=26,000)

(10%*46,000=4,600)

Total costs 1,355,900 855,300

Operating profits $74,100 $954,700

(1,430,000-1,355,900)

(1,810,000-855,300)

Therefore the the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT will be $74,100 $954,700

B. Preparation for the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation

Current situation After JIT Change

Sales 1,430,000-1,810,000=-380,000

Less costs

Production level support 214,500-72,400 =142,100

Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 -181,000=219,400

Direct material 429,000-362,000=67,000

Direct manufacturing labor 286,000- 235,300= 50,700

Inventory financing costs 26,000-4,600 =21,400

Total costs 1,355,900-855,300=500,600

Operating profits 74,100-954,700=880,600

Therefore the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation will be 880,600

Identify the characteristics that have enabled Singapore to become one of the world’s most prosperous nations. Correct Answer(s)
ella [17]

Answer:

The answers are : Stable financial system; Strategic location; High literacy rate.

Explanation:

Singapore is a small island, highly populated country without much natural resources and little resources are paid to agricultural sector and energy sector thus lack of self-sufficiency in regard to water, food (due to limited land, lack of water supply and high labor cost). Currently, more than 40% of the country's water consumption are exported from Malaysia.

However, thanks to its strategic location lying in the center of the trade flow between the America, Europe, Middle East - Africa and Asia and the heart of Asia; its stable financial system which is one of the financial centers of Asia and the world due to its pretty open economy; its highly-educated citizens ( according to UNESCO Singapore literacy rate has been going up from nearly 83% in 1980 to more than 97% in 2018), the country is among one of the most prosperous countries in the world.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": consumer surplus that is generated from the introduction of a new product.

Explanation:

Externalities are defined as the effects passed on third parties as a result of the actions of another individual or organization even if the third party has nothing to do with the operations of the individuals or entities. Externalities can be positive or negative.

The product-variety externality is an example of a positive externality. The product-variety externality takes place when a new product is introduced in the market generating a consumer surplus. Thus, end-users benefit from the variety of products available in the market even if that represents more competition for companies.

In what ways has technology changed the workplace of people across the world?
GREYUIT [131]
Technology has changed the workplace a lot. First of all, people can work from virtually anywhere where there's internet connection. It means people can work on the go or from home almost all the time. This has allowed many companies to relocate many offices to their staff's homes, leading to substantial cuts in operation costs, to more flexibility and conviviality at the workplace.
