Answer:

Annual average inventory in days (no of times) = 1.5 times

Explanation:

Annual inventory turn over is the average length of time it takes for inventor to be sold and replaced.

Average inventory turnover = average inventory/ cost of sold × 365

Average inventory turnover (in No of times) = Cost of sold sold /average inventory

Cost of goods sold

= (1000/2000) × 60 million

= $30 million

Closing Inventory = $20 million

Annual average inventory

= $20/ 30 × 365 days

= 243.days

Annual average inventory

= cost of sold sold /average inventory

=30/20

= 1.5 times

Annual average inventory in days = 243.days

Annual average inventory in days (no of times) = 1.5 times

Answer:

A 63-year-old man presents to the office with hematuria, hesitancy, and dribbling.

Digital rectal exam (DRE) reveals a moderately enlarged prostate that is smooth.

The PSA is 1.2.

The most appropriate management strategy to follow at this time is:

Explanation:

This 63 year-old-man is at his elderly stage, meaning that it may have brought the enlargement of the prostate, as the DRE revealed, squeezing the urethra moderately and causing difficulty with urination such as a intermittent flow or dribbling, hematuria and hesitancy, so an urine flow study might be helpful to detect reduced urine flow associated with BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia).

Although his PSA level of 1.2 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) of blood is still in the normal range, a test must be performed to determine how fast is the PSA level is increasing, as it is associated with prostate cancer.

A questionnaire must be filled out to determine the type and severity of symptoms and if they have impacted his routine life.

Digital rectal examination (DRE): The physician inserts a gloved finger into the rectum (located next to the prostate) and feels the back of the prostate. Prostate cancers can sometimes be detected as lumps or bumps on the prostate here.

Depending on the results the patient could get a cystoscopy, which is a test that allows the physician to inspect the inside of the prostate, urethra channel and bladder, using a mini-camera inserted within a thin tube.

If the doctor finds cancer suspicious data, he might order a transrectal ultrasound, a transabdominal ultrasound or a prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

BPH is the most common urologists diagnosed disorder of the prostate gland in males between the ages of 45 and 76.

Philadelphia Company has the following information for March: Sales $450,000 Variable cost of goods sold 240,000 Fixed manufactu

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

a.$210,000

b. $158,000

c. $53,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the March (a) manufacturing margin, (b) contribution margin, and (c) income from operations for Philadelphia Company.

A)Calculation to determine the March manufacturing margin

Using this formula

Manufacturing Margin =(Sales – Cost of Goods Sold)

Let plug in the formula

Manufacturing Margin=450,000 – 240,000

Manufacturing Margin= $210,000

(B)Calculation to determine contribution margin,

Using this formula

Contribution Margin =(Gross Manufacturing Margin – Variable Expenses)

Let plug in the formula

Contribution Margin=210,000 – 52,000

Contribution Margin= 158,000

(C)Calculation to determine the March income from operations for Philadelphia Company

Using this formula

Income from Operations= (Sales – All expenses)

Let plug in the formula

Income from Operations= 450,000 – 397,000

Income from Operations = 53,000

Therefore the March (a) manufacturing margin, (b) contribution margin, and (c) income from operations for Philadelphia Company are:

a.$210,000

b. $158,000

c. $53,000

Suppose that the firm pays its workers $46 per day. Each unit of output sells for $12. How many workers should the firm hire

Korolek [52]

Solution :

A firm hires labor till a point where the cost of hiring is equal to the value of the additional revenue it produces.

We know ,

the wage rate = cos of hiring an additional worker

the value of the additional revenue that the firm produces = price x (MPI) marginal product of the labor.

Therefore, the firm will hire when :

Wage = value of the additional revenue it generates

Thus, wage = price x (MPI) marginal product of the labor ...........(i)

Therefore, given :

wage of a worker = $ 45

Price = $ 12

So, 45 = 12 x MPI

MPI = 3.8

So the marginal product of employing three days of labor = 25-18/4-3 = 7

Marginal product of employing four days of labor = 30-25/4-3 = 5

So the 4th day produces less revenue than the cost that it generates.

So, the firm should hire 3 workers.
