Now,
⇒ 
⇒ 
Thus, the above is the correct answer.
Answer:
A. Compute labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity.
- old system = 70 carts / 6 workers = 11.67 carts per worker
- new system = 76 carts / 5 workers = 15.2 carts per worker
B. Compute the multifactor productivity under each system. Use carts per dollar cost (labor plus equipment) as the measure.
- old system = 70 carts / ($108 + $30) = 0.51 carts per dollar
- new system = 76 carts / ($90 + $41) = 0.58 carts per dollar
C. Comment on the changes in productivity according to the two measures.
- The new system is more productive and efficient since it uses less workers to produce a higher output. The additional costs of implementing the new system are lower than the cost of employing more workers.
Explanation:
Multi factor productivity = total output / (cost of wages + material cost + overhead cost)

Answer:
- Monthly Payment for Choice 1=$665.16
- Monthly Payment for Choice 2=$627.10
- Total Closing Cost for Choice 1=$241557.60
- Total Closing Cost for Choice 2=$233456
- (A)Choice 1 be the better choice the monthly payment is higher.
- (D)Choice 2 be the better choice because the monthly payment is lower.
Explanation:
Amount of Loan needed = $140,000
- A point is an optional fee which helps you get a lower interest rate on your loan.
- Closing costs are the fees you pay when obtaining your loan.
<u>Choice 1</u>
30-year fixed rate at 4% with closing costs of $2100 and no points.
Monthly Payment
P=$140,000
Monthly Rate=4% ÷ 12=0.04 ÷ 12=0.0033
n=12 X 30 =360
Monthly Payment=$665.16
Total Closing Cost =(665.16 X 360)+2100=$241557.60
<u>Choice 2</u>
30-year fixed rate at 3.5% with closing costs of $2100 and 4 points.
Monthly Payment
P=$140,000
Monthly Rate=3.5% ÷ 12=0.035 ÷ 12=0.0029
n=12 X 30 =360
Monthly Payment=$627.10
Total Closing Cost =(627.10 X 360)+2100+(4% of 140000)=$233456
Answer and Explanation:
The journal entries are shown below:
On Jan 1
Cash $400,000
To Bonds payable $400,000
(Being the bond is issued for cash)
For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and at the same time it increased the liabilities so the bond payable is credited
On July 1
Interest expense $14,000
To Cash $14,000
(Being the payment of interest is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
= $400,000 × 7% × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $14,000
For recording this we debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and at the same time it decreased the assets so the cash is credited
On Dec 31
Interest expense $14,000
To Interest payable $14,000
(Being the accrual of interest is recorded)
For recording this we debited the expenses as it increased the expenses and at the same time it increased the liabilities so the interest payable is credited
