D. With anger that workers would dare to challenge buisness owners.
Answer:
8.78
Explanation:
The computation of the cash cycle is given below;
We know that
Cash cycle = Inventory conversion period + Receivables conversion period - Payables conversion period.
Here
1. Inventory conversion period = Avg. Inventory ÷ (COGS ÷365)
= (11,000) ÷ (395000 ÷ 365)
= 10.16
2. Receivables conversion period = Avg. Accounts Receivable ÷ (Credit Sales × 365)
= (27000/520000) × 365
= 18.95
3. Payables conversion period = Avg. Accounts Payable ÷ (Purchases × 365)
= (22000 ÷ 395000) × 365
= 20.33
Now the cash cycle is
= 10.16 + 18.95 - 20.33
= 8.78
D. They can cause employees to lose their jobs unfairly.
Answer:
Undeapplied overhead= $200
Explanation:
<u>First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:</u>
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 480,000 / 200,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $2.4 per DLH
<u>Now, we can allocate overhead:</u>
<u></u>
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 2.4*17,000
Allocated MOH= $40,800
<u>Finally, the over/under allocation:</u>
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 41,000 - 40,800
Undeapplied overhead= $200
Question: The question is incomplete. See the full question below and the answer.
You are an up-and-coming developer in downtown Seattle and are interested in constructing a building on a site you own. You have collected four bids from prospective contractors. The bids include both a cost ($millions) and time to completion (months):
Contractor Cost Time
A 100 20
B 80 25
C 79 28
D 82 26
The problem now is to decide which contractor to choose. B has indicated that for another $20 million, he could do the job in 18 months, and you have said that you would be indifferent between that bid and the original proposal. In talking with C, you have indicated that you would just as soon pay her an extra $million if she could get the job done in 26 months. Who gets the job? Explain your reasoning. (It may be convenient to plot the four alternatives on a graph.)
Answer:
See the explanation for the answer and find attached of the graph.
Explanation:
So we draw a regression line of Time vs Cost and best fit a curve based on the data given, given in the above figure. The four alternatives are marked in the figure as well. Our main objective is to reduce both time and cost, but that might not be possible So the best thing would be to look for alternatives which lie below the line. If C gets an extra million, then that point would come below the regression line, and it would be a better alternative than D, because for the same time we are getting the job done at a cheaper cost.
Also if B is paid extra 20 million, that point also comes below the regression line, and hence will be a better alternative than A because for the same cost again we are getting the job done earlier. We need to choose between B and C. Now in order to optimise both cost and time, we need to choose a point close to the middle point of the regression line segment in 1st quadrant. We see that C is much more closer to the middle point and hence seems like a better option.
So we choose C as our contractor if we consider B's alternative bid, but if we do not consider B's alternative bid and stick to the original one, we choose B as our contractor.
