Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

a. Calculate the productivity for navy and army contracts in units produced per labor hour.

Based on the information given, for the navy contract, the total man hours to make 3380 devices will be:

= 34 × 40 × 2

= 2720 hours

Therefore, the devices per man hour will be:

= 3380/2720

= 1.24 devices per labor hour.

For the army contract, the total man hours to make 7480 devices will be:

= 44 × 40 × 2

= 3520 hours

Therefore, the devices per labor hour will be:

= 7480/3520

= 2.125 devices per labor hour

b. On which contract were the workers more productive?

The workers were more productive on the Army contract as they produced more devices per labor hour.

A ____________ gap between GDP and NDP indicates an increasing obsolescence/depreciation of capital goods..
Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

GDP is gross domestic product and NDP is net domestic product.

GDP measures market value of total goods and services produced in a particular period of time.

NDP is net domestic product  . In its calculation,  we deduct the value of depreciation of capital goods produced from the value of GDP.

So

NDP = GDP - depreciation .

So growing gap between GDP and NDP reflects the increasing obsolescence of capital goods , which warrants replacement of capital goods .

OPTION A is correct.

Landers Flynn Inc. has 1,000 shares of $5 cumulative preferred stock outstanding. Dividends were not paid last year. The corpora
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The preferred stockholders $10,000

Common stockholders $4,000

Explanation:

The cumulative effect of the preferred stock is that the holders are entitled to arrears of dividends, in other words, they would receive this year last year's dividends in addition to current year's.

annual preferred stock dividends=dividend per share*number of preferred stock.

annual preferred stock dividends=$5*1000=$5000

dividends for 2 years=$5000*2=$10,000

common stock dividends=$14,000-$10,000=$4000

Alex invested $10,500 in an account that pays 6 percent simple interest. how much money will he have at the end of four years?'
Marizza181 [45]
The amount generated from the investment with simple interest is calculated through the equation,

           F = P x (1 + in)

where F is the future amount, P is the present worth, i is the decimal equivalent of the given interest and n is the number of interest period.

From this item it can be identified that,
   P = $10,500
   i = 0.06
   n = 4

Substituting the known values,

    F = ($10,500) x (1 + (0.06)(4)) 
 <em>   F = $13020</em>

Therefore, after four years, the amount of money that Alex will have is $13,020.

Which of the following best describes an opportunity cost:
MissTica

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of an action that was not chosen or selected. It is also the cost of alternative forgone. For example, Mr A has two choices - taking employment of $20,000 per annum or being self-employed (setting up a farm that will generate $25,000 per annum). He decides to go for farming. The opportunity cost here is the cost of taking the employment ($20,000).

Opportunity cost is relevant in decision making. Companies use opportunity cost when making strategic or tactical decisions. There must be an alternative to every decision which must be considered before making a decision.

Though opportunity cost is a relevant cost but it is never shown on financial statement. It is never part of financial records.
