Answer:
True
Explanation:
The theory of constraints focuses on establishing the most important limiting factor or constraint in a business and improve it in order to improve the whole company's performance.
In simple terms, a company recognizes their greatest weakness and tries to improve it, so that it no longer represents a limitation.
This theory was originally developed for manufacturing companies, and it was meant to reduce bottlenecks (manufacturing constraints). Therefore one of its main goals is to lower inventory levels and operating costs while increasing production output.
FOR:
- increased income for workers
- more workers attracted to the workforce
- less strain on federal resources for those in poverty
Against
- more costly for businesses
- possible unemployment due to job automation
- higher prices for consumers.
Here are some basic arguments. You will need to explain these a bit more for your assignment though.
Answer: $10,800
Explanation:
In the above scenario it is worthy of note that the company is the one that pays for Federal and State Unemployment tax.
That means that the employees pay for Federal income tax withheld at $4,000, Social security at 6% and Medicare at 1.5%.
Calculating salaries payable therefore would be,
= 16,000 - 4,000 - (16,000 * 6%) - (16,000 * 1.5%)
= $10,800
Salaries Payable would be recorded at $10,800.
Answer:
The value of X that gives maximum profit is <u>15.92</u>.
Explanation:
Before answering the question, Y and Revenue (R) given in the question are first correctly restated as follows:
Cost = Y = 11 + 0.4X + 0.29X^2 .......................................... (1)
Revenue = R = 16X − 0.2X^2 .............................................. (2)
Differentiating each of equations (1) and (2) with respect to X to obtain marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR), we have:
dY/dX = MC = 0.4 + 0.58X .................................................. (4)
dR/dX = MR = 16 - 0.4X ....................................................... (5)
In production theory, profit is maximized when MR = MC. Therefore, we equate equations (4) and (5) and solve for X as follows:
0.4 + 0.58X = 16 - 0.4X
0.58X + 0.4X = 16 - 0.4
0.98X = 15.6
X = 15.6 / 0.98
X = 15.92
Therefore, the value of X that gives maximum profit is <u>15.92</u>.
Answer/Explanation:
A. Increase in import WOULD NOT lead to a decrease in national income because it would lead to increase in revenue derived from import duties.
B. A decrease in interest (leakage) WOULD lead to decrease in national income because it will increase borrowing and reduces investment.
C. A decrease in money supply (money available in an economy) WOULD NOT lead to decrease in national income because it reduces inflational rate.
D. An increase in exchange rate WOULD lead to decrease in national income because it would encourage capital flight.
E. A decrease in foreign income WOULD lead to decrease in national income because it reduces revenue earnings.
