Answer: 24.60 minutes (2dp)
Explanation:
The question is essentially asking that we find the Standard Time it takes to serve a customer.
To do this we would have to calculate the averages of the different elements and then use this to find the normal time which we can then use to find the Standard Time.
Element 1
= (3 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3)/5
= 3.4
Element 2
= ( 9 + 8 + 10 + 11 + 10)/5
= 9.6
Element 3
= ( 7 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 8)/5
= 7.2
We then calculate the normal times by multiplying each of the individual means with their performance ratings.
That would be,
Element A
= 3.4 * 70%
= 2.38
Element B
= 9.6 * 110%
= 10.56
Element C
= 7.2 * 120%
= 8.64
We then add up the normal times to get the total normal time
= 2.38 + 10.56 + 8.64
= 21.58 minutes
Now we can solve for the standard time using this formula,
Standard time = Normal time (1+Allowance factor)
= 21.58 ( 1 + 0.14)
= 24.6012 minutes
= 24.60 minutes (2dp)
The time per unit customer served is 24.60 minutes.

Answer:
The correct answer is: Assumption of the risk.
Explanation:
If the risk inherent in a particular action that caused an injury is knowingly and voluntarily assumed, you cannot sue anyone to recover the damages. Suppose, for example, a situation in which he went to a friend's house and was warned about the use of the back door because the floor cover was seriously damaged and would not support a person's weight on it. If you have decided to ignore the warning and use the back door, the doctrine of risk taking will probably prevent the recovery of injuries sustained by a fall on that floor. The court will decide that you "assumed the risk" of such injury.
<u>Answer:</u> False. The Value of a Bond is not related to the Dividend rate.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Bond rates are inversely related with the interest rates in the market and not dividend rates. Bonds yield interest for the investment and not dividends. Dividends are paid for shares. Dividend rates affects the share price and not Bond value in the market.
The interest rates of the Bonds can be fixed rates or fluctuating rates. It depends on the type of the security issued. As the interest rates are fluctuating then the risk for the investors increase.
Answer:
$24,000
Explanation:
From the time an asset is acquired until the time it is sold, an asset experiences a number of events which causes an increase or decrease of its total value. Th adjusted basis of a given asset, takes the base price of an asset and adjusts it for changes in value reflecting enhancements and or depreciation. For instance, a given asset purchased for $100, depreciates by $10 and has an improvement of $60 would have an adjusted basis of $100 - $10 + $60 = $150.
Now when Mary bought her furniture, the adjusted basis was $20,000. At the time of exchange, the fair market value of the furniture is $4,000 whereas Mary also gave $4,000 to the dealer in the transaction. This $4,000 changes the value ans is added to the previous adjusted basis of $20,000.
Mary's adjusted basis in the new furniture after the exchange is:
= $4,000 + $20,000
= $24,000
Answers:
It won't be advisable to transform this executive agencies to independent agencies, because it will reduce the power of the president, and therefore reducing the ability of the president to carry on it's agenda.
ADVANTAGE OF THE TRANSFORMATION:
1) Their will discharge their duties without any political influence.
2) The president will not longer have strong influence on their decision.
3) Each head of the agency will have a specific time and duration for it plans to be achieved before the end of it's tenure.
DISADVANTAGE OF THE TRANSACTION:
1) It will develop fight for power and control in the decisions of the agency, between the president and the head of the agency.
2) it will take away harmony been seen between the president office and the agency.
3) it will reduce the power been invested in the president in carrying on a better administration.
Executive heads owe allegiance to the president, because their are appointed by the president, and can only be removed by the president. During appointment, the president usually appoints it's loyalist that is qualified to head the agency. This is why some of their heads resign, when their can no longer cope with the will of the president.
