Answer:

1. Value added time = Cutting + Sewing time

Value added time = 5 min + 20 min

Value added time = 25 minutes

Non-value added time = Total within batch wait time + Move time

Non-value added time = (25 minutes*(40-1)) + 2 minutes

Non-value added time = 977 minutes

Total lead time = Value added time + Non-value added time

Total lead time = 25 minutes + 977 minutes

Total lead time = 1,002 minutes

2. Value added ratio = Value added time / Total lead time

Value added ratio = 25 minutes / 1,002 minutes

Value added ratio = 0.02495

Value added ratio = 2.5%

nordsb [41]

Answer:

The answer is: A) omnichannel distribution

Explanation:

Onmichannel distribution is a multichannel approach to sales were customers are provided with a seamless shopping experience by integrating operations between brick and mortar stores and online shopping.

The internet changed our world and made information available anywhere, anytime. So shoppers can now buy something online at 11 PM while lying on their beds and they can decide to get the products sent home or pick them up at a store by themselves.

Companies that aren´t able to offer this type of shopping experience will tend to disappear (i.e. Sears).

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Step 1: Identify cost activities and their cost drivers

- Material Handling ⇒ Labor hours

- Automated processing ⇒ Machine hours

- Plastic parts insertion ⇒ No. of parts

- Inspection ⇒ Labor hours

- Packaging ⇒ Orders shipped

Step 2: Assign overhead costs to activities identified

- Material Handling ⇒ $55,000

- Automated processing ⇒ $40,000

- Plastic parts insertion ⇒ $6,000

- Inspection ⇒ $29,000

- Packaging ⇒ $31,000

Step 3: Calculate Total Estimated Cost Driver Activity(for large cage only)

- Material Handling ⇒ 2 per unit × 350 = 700 labor hours

- Automated processing ⇒ 4 per unit ×350 = 1400 machine hours

- Plastic parts insertion ⇒ 8 per unit × 350 = 2800 no. of parts

- Inspection ⇒ 2 per unit × 350 = 700 labor hours

- Packaging ⇒ 180 orders shipped

Step 4: Calculate overhead rates

- Material Handling ⇒ $55,000 ÷ 700 = $79 per labor hour

- Automated processing ⇒ $40,000 ÷ 1400 =$28 per machine hour

- Plastic parts insertion ⇒ $6,000÷ 2800 = $2 per part

- Inspection ⇒ $29,000÷ 700= $42 per labor hour

- Packaging ⇒ $31,000 ÷ 180=$172 per order shipped

Step 5: Apply overheads to product

Since the the amount of activity consumed by each product is no given , it is unable to calculate per unit cost of overhead.

If it were given, the total activity consumed by the product would be multiplied by their respective activity rates calculated above, and then those amounts would be added together to get total overhead consumed by Large cage. Lastly, that total overhead  will be divided by no. of units produced to get per unit overhead cost.

Suppose we observe that as the price of lettuce increases from $1 to $2 per head, consumers buy only half the number of heads of
alex41 [277]

Answer:

C. A decrease in the quantity demanded

Explanation:

Price Elasiticity

The law of demand and supply would usually hold that an increase in prices will result in a decrease in demand. Furthermore, an increase in demand generates a corresponding increasing in supply as well.

<u>When the demand of a product is sensitive to the changes in price, then we say that price of the product is elastic</u> but if the product demand not strongly influenced  by price then we say that the pricing is inelastic.

In the case of the lettuce, we can say that the price is elastic, because there is a sensitive reaction between an increase in price from $1 to $2 which immediately leads to a halfing of the quantity demanded. The price is elastic such that an increase in price leads to a decrease in quantity demanded.
