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.
The role that the idea of machine plays in contructivist settings include: RAMPS, PLATFORM AND STAIRWAYS.
In theater, a contructive setting is one which is highly theatrical, has practical apparatus for actors to manipulate and it also has skeletal frame. A construtive setting can easily be manipulated.
Answer:
The correct answer is d. Different economic models employ different sets of assumptions.
Explanation:
To approach the study of economic reality it is necessary, in some way, to simplify it; keep certain variables under control. Precisely for this, it is that economic models are built.
Economic models are built on principles of departure, called "assumptions." Such assumptions fulfill the same role as the postulates in geometry. That is:
- They are not subject to deduction from other more basic principles.
- They are "reasonably" true but not necessarily verifiable.
- They function as premises in the logical structure to deduce the conclusions and correlations found in the lowest levels of generality.
We can say then, that the theoretical explanations refer to invisible "relationships", whose existence is proposed by the theory, and whose implications are logically deduced, and then corroborated by observations. They consist of:
- Assumptions (eg subjects want to maximize their earnings).
- Relevant variables (eg price and quantity).
- Binding hypothesis (eg quantity demanded based on price).
- Conclusions or predictions of observable facts (eg prices will rise).
Answer:
Increase
Explanation:
Population net income consists of the difference between labor income and expenditure. If the government adopts a contractionary fiscal policy, that is, increases taxes, the net income of the population will decrease, since part of the income will be directed to the payment of taxes. For the Fed to compensate for this decline in income, an expansionary monetary policy will have to be adopted, ie the Fed must act to stimulate the population's income. The increase in money supply has the effect of warming the economy in the form of higher demand and higher wages. This is the form of compensation between two different policies, one contractionist and one expansionist.
Answer:
Supplier dependence
Explanation:
When an entity finds itself in a situation where it has to rely on a particular supplier or provider of service for its business operations, either as a result of not being able to get an alternative supplier or the importance of the suppliers product to the entity, such is called supplier dependence.
It is very risky for an entity to depend on a particular source for input. This reverse order of an entity depending on the supplier for business strategy instead of the supplier depending on the entity is not a good business practice.
It’s easy for our own strategy to be determined by what our suppliers are doing. If we become too dependent, we risk having our strategy set by our suppliers rather than having them support our strategy. I’ve been thinking a lot here recently about how much suppliers can direct you
