Answer:
A) 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours
Explanation:
Number of machines on manufacturing line = 8
percentage of machine been down = 23%
number of workers capable of running and repairing machines = 2
machine productivity ( per machine ) = 18 units/hour
overhead cost / machine = $713
hourly rate paid per worker = $15
Total number of work hours = 8 hour
A) calculate Total amount of lost worktime
= number of machines * Total number of work hours * 23%
= 8 * 8 * 23% = 14.72 hours
B) An additional worker should be hired since the lost work time is 14.72 hours
Answer:
1. Supply will decrease
Explanation:
Due to the basic economic principle that when supply superceeds the demand for goods and services, the prices of such goods and services fall. As a result of this, and an expected increase in future prices, the supply of coffee beans by coffee merchants to the markets will decrease.
This is because the merchants want to receive higher profits and to do so, they will withhold supply to sell in the next six months when the price is higher.
To solve for the gross margin:
Gross margin = net sales - cost of goods sold
Gross margin = $847,000 - $561,500
Gross margin = $285,500
To solve for the operating expenses:
Operating expenses = gross margin - net income
Operating expenses = $285,000 - $101,200
Operating expenses = $183,800
Its a large store of data accumulated from varies different sources in a company and is used to guide management decision making.
