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.
Answer:
return on assets = 20%
Explanation:
given data
net income = $900
beginning total assets = $4600
ending total assets = $4400
solution
we get here return on assets that is express as
return on assets = 
× 100 ............1
here average assets will be
average assets = 
average assets = $4500
put here value we get
return on assets = 
× 100
return on assets = 20%

Answer:
It may lead to groupthink.
It may affect the message's clarity.
Explanation:
Collaborative business message writing has to do with when a group of people creates a project or business message together rather than doing it individually.
Groupthink describes when a group sets asides their personal belief to get a consensus within a group and this can lead to bad decisions as members of the group can sidestep problems in order to fit into a group's decisions.
The clarity of the message can be affected because the different members of the group all have different ideas and would try to sacrifice some of their ideas for the group.
Answer:
the weighted mean price per share is $38.76
Explanation:
The computation of the weighted mean price per share is given below:
= (200 shares × $37 per share + 270 shares × $36 per share + 490 shares × $41 per share) ÷ (200 shares + 270 shares + 490 shares)
= ($7,400 + $9,720 + $20,090) ÷ (960 shares)
= $37,210 ÷ 960 shares
= $38.76
Hence, the weighted mean price per share is $38.76
