Answer:
The appropriate answer is "[tex]0.657 \ mins/JU-4s[/tex]".
Explanation:
Given:
Demand,
= 1325 JU-4s
1 day = 2 shifts
Assuming a shift is of 8 hours duration.
then,
[tex]1 \ shift = (8\times 60)-(20+25)[/tex]
[tex]=480-45[/tex]
[tex]=435 \ mins[/tex]
Total day mins,
= [tex]435\times 2[/tex]
= [tex]870 \ mins[/tex]
hence,
The average throughput rate will be:
= [tex]\frac{870 \ mins}{1325 \ JU-4s}[/tex]
= [tex]0.657 \ mins/JU-4s[/tex]

The payback method of project analysis: Multiple Choice considers the time value of money. is, generally speaking, the best method of project analysis. may ignore some project cash flows. is biased towards long-term projects over short-term projects.
Answer:
may ignore some project cash flows.
Explanation:
Payback calculates the amount of time it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from it cumulative cash flows
Payback period = Amount invested / cash flow
for example, if 100,000 is invested in project. the cash flows is 20,000 for the next five years, payback = 100,000 / 20,000 = 5 years
cash flows after year 5 would be ignored
Also, it can be seen that the time value of money is not considered. the cash flows have equal value regardless of when they occur
the best method is the net present value

Standard hours allowed for actual units produced (SH) 64,000
Required:
a. Calculate the fixed overhead spending and volume variances.
b. Calculate the fixed overhead spending variance.
c. Calculate the total fixed overhead variance.
Answer:
a. Fixed overhead spending variance:
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted Flexible overhead
= 305,000 - 300,000
= $5,000 Unfavorable
Fixed overhead volume variance:
= (Standard fixed overhead rate (SFOR) per direct labor hour * Standard hours allowed for actual units produced ) - Budgeted Flexible overhead
= (5 * 64,000) - 300,000
= $20,000 favorable
b. Fixed overhead spending variance:
= Actual fixed overhead - Budgeted Flexible overhead
= 305,000 - 300,000

(Note: assume cash flows are received at end of year.) If the building is expected to be sold at the end of the fifth year for $2,800,000, calculate the IRR for this investment over the five year holding period
Answer: 9.20%
Explanation:
Use Excel to find out the IRR.
Ensure that you write the purchase price in negatives as shown in the attached picture.
The cashflow for the last year will be the sum of the selling price and the cash flow.
= 2,800,000 + 180,000
= $2,980,000
IRR = 9.20%
Give examples if operational conflicts that could occur in a cross- cultural context because of different attitudes towards:1) time, 2) individualism. Give a country or region that would be different from the US for each of the two variables.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Give examples of operational conflicts that could occur in a cross-cultural context because of different attitudes towards:1) time, 2) individualism.
Well, let's start with time. In the United States, time is of the utmost importance. There we have the old saying: "Time is money."
In the workplace, everything is based on the smart and efficient use of time. No time must be wasted in the workplace.
Individual effort is important in the American culture, but the team effort, the concept of being a good team player is very important under the following premise: teams can accomplish more than individuals.
What most Americans desire is individual recognition through team effort.
That is why team sports are so good in the United States because they exemplify the way teams function and what they can accomplish. For instance, college and pro football, basketball, and baseball.
The region that has a different approach, is Latin America. This does not mean that is better than the other, just that there are major differences between the two.
The management of time is very different in Latin American countries. It is not as important as the US. People in Latin America approach the concept of time in a more relaxed way. In Latin America, there is a more relaxed approach to time. Nothing is urgent, Things take time. Things are made at a different pace compared to the US.
And regarding individualism, Latin American people tend to prefer to be more individualistic to do things trying to get some recognition, The team concept is not as developed as in the US.
A production process has six subsequent stages, each with their own specific resources and performing crucial tasks. Four of these stages have a capacity of 20 units per hour, while the other two stages have a capacity of 10 units per hour. What is the best conclusion?
Answer: Both stages with a capacity of 10 units per hour can be considered bottlenecks.
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, the best conclusion is that both stages with a capacity of 10 units per hour can be considered the bottlenecks.
It should be noted that the bottleneck in the chain of processes, is the one that has the limited capacity and this then reduces the capacity of the whole chain and slows down production.

Variable costs as a percentage of sales for Lemon Inc. are 71%, current sales are $551,000, and fixed costs are $207,000. How much will operating income change if sales increase by $37,600? a.$10,904 increase b.$26,696 decrease c.$26,696 increase d.$10,904 decrease
Answer: a.$10,904 increase
Explanation:
Operating income before sales increase:
= Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs
= 551,000 - (71% * 551,000) - 207,000
= -$47,210
Operating income after sales increase:
Sales increases to:
= 551,000 + 37,600
= $588,600
= 588,600 - (71% * 588,600) - 207,000
= -$36,306
Difference:
= -47,210 - (-36,306)
= Increase of $10,904
Suppose you purchase a $1,000 TIPS on January 1, 2021. The bond carries a fixed coupon of 1 percent. Over the first two years, semiannual inflation is 4 percent, 1 percent, 2 percent, and 3 percent, respectively. For each six-month period, calculate the accrued principal and coupon payment.
Answer:
FOR THE FIRST SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,040
Coupon payment = $5.20
FOR THE SECOND SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,050.40
Coupon payment = $5.25
FOR THE THIRD SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,071.41
Coupon payment = $5.36
FOR THE FOURTH SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,103.55
Coupon payment = $5.52
Explanation:
These can be calculated using the following formulae:
Accrued principal = Amount or previous accrued principal * (100% + inflation rate) ...........(1)
Coupon payment = Accrued principal * (Fixed coupon rate * (6 months / 12 months))............(2)
Therefore, we have:
FOR THE FIRST SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,000 * (100% + 4%) = $1,040
Coupon payment = $1,040 * (1% * (6 / 12)) = $5.20
FOR THE SECOND SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,040 * (100% + 1%) = $1,050.40
Coupon payment = $1,050.40 * (1% * (6 / 12)) = $5.25
FOR THE THIRD SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,050.40 * (100% + 2%) = $1,071.41
Coupon payment = $1,071.41 * (1% * (6 / 12)) = $5.36
FOR THE FOURTH SIX-MONTH PERIOD
Accrued principal = $1,071.41 * (100% + 3%) = $1,103.55
Coupon payment = $1,103.55 * (1% * (6 / 12)) = $5.52

Your aunt has promised to give you $5,000 when you graduate from college. You expect to graduate three years from now. If you speed up your plans to enable you to graduate two years from now, the present value of the promised gift will: Multiple Choice be less than $5,000. remain constant. decrease. Incorrect equal $5,000. increase
Answer:
The present value of the promised gift will:
be less than $5,000.
Explanation:
The present value of $5,000 to be received in three years' time from today is less than $5,000 received. This is explained by the time value of money concept. If the $5,000 gift is discounted to today's value, using a discount factor of 0.751 (10% in three years' time), it would be $3,755 ($5,000 * 0.751). This means that $5,000 received in year 3 is less than $5,000 received today.
The present value of the promised gift will be less than $5,000 If a person speeds up his/her plans to enable to graduate two years from now, by applying the concept of the time value of money.
What is the time value of money?The time value of money is a fundamental concept of finance. This concept maintains that money or cash in the present is worth more than the identical sum of money to be accepted in the future.
In the above case, The present value of $5,000 to be received in the period of three years from today would be less than $5,000 received.
In the above case, the concept of the time value of money is applied. It means that if the $5,000 gift is discounted to today's value, using a discount factor of 0.751 (10% in three years' time), it would be:
[tex]=\$5,000 \times 0.751\\= \$3,755[/tex]
This means that $5,000 received in year 3 is less than $5,000 received today.
Therefore, option A is correct.

A small component is purchased for the use in the production of a major product. The standard price of the component is $0.85. During a recent period, 7,800 units were purchased and 6,800 were actually used. The standard quantity of units allowed for the actual output of the period was 6,540 units. What was the materials quantity variance
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Given the above information,
Material quantity variance is computed as;
= (Actual quantity - Standard quantity of units allowed for the actual output )
Actual quantity = 6,800 units
Standard quantity = 6,540 units
= 6,800 - 6,540
= 260 units
Therefore, the materials quantity variance is 260 Unfavourable.
It is unfavourable because the standard is higher than the actual

In 4-6 sentences, discuss how understanding the concept of price elasticity of demand is useful for a business owner/firm operating in any market structure. Copying the definition or restating the definition of elasticity will result in loss of points. (What does price elasticity of demand tell the firm in terms
Answer:
The concept of price elasticity is important to a firm because it would help a firm determine how to change prices in order to increase total revenue
For example, if a firm has an elastic demand, if price is increased, the quantity demanded would fall. The fall in demand would be greater than the increase in price. As a result, total revenue would fall. If price is reduced, the quantity demanded would increase.. the increase in demand would be greater than the reduction in price. Total revenue would increase
If on the other hand, demand is inelastic, if price is increased, total revenue increases. If price is reduced, total revenue reduces
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes.
Demand is inelastic if a small change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of elasticity would be less than one
Demand is unit elastic if a small change in price has an equal and proportionate effect on quantity demanded.
Infinitely elastic demand is perfectly elastic demand. Demand falls to zero when price increases
Perfectly inelastic demand is demand where there is no change in the quantity demanded regardless of changes in price.
