a2. For which event was the labor productivity higher?
Anniversary
Wedding

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

for anniversary = 125

for wedding = 112.5

anniversary

Explanation:

Labour productivity = number of meals / total number of workers

for anniversary = 375 / 3 = 125

for wedding = 225 / 2 = 112.5

labour productivity is higher for the anniversary because one unit of labour produces more meals when compared to the wedding.

Discuss three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union. Discuss the five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization g

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Three major factors that contribute to an employee's decision to join a union.

1. Greater Bargaining Power

As an individual employee, it can be difficult to negotiate for wage increase or better working condition generally. However, being a member Union, together the group can negotiate and demand for what they feel is right for their members. In a rare occasion, the threat of a strike by a Union is a great tool to bargain well with the employer.

2. Minimize Discrimination

As a Union, it is easier to demand for equality in terms of wage, working condition, promotion, leave etc. Unlike individual employee, who may be facing discrimination from his or her supervisor as to employee related issue. Union can ensure the management used the right policies that seek for equality among all its employees without favoritism or discrimination.

3. Sense of Security

An employee may join the Union on the basis that, Union can save them against abrupt dismissal or other types of work insecurities including accident, injury, illness etc.

Also, Union can help secure retirement benefits and ensure the management improve on the employees' welfare generally.

Five reasons that have contributed to the trend of decline in unionization

1. Irrelevance appearance of the Union:

Many workers believe that Union is not necessary because in the time of economic boom, getting wage increase and other working benefits can be gotten be individual employee and not necessarily through a Union, and at the same time, during economic downturn, unions often times don't have the capacity to protect their members from layoffs, wage and benefit reductions and tougher working conditions.

2. Poor Image of the Union:

Many employers and employees tend to view union with negativity, in the sense that, often times, their demands can be unreasonable, and are characterized by issue of labor racketeering, mob influence and embezzlement.

3. Unions are Seen as Political:

For some employees, they believe that Union tend to use their money or Union dues to support a political candidate. This in turn has made some employees who are neutral, not wanting to join the Union.

4. Reliance on goverment:

Many employees now believe that, government, not Union gives better form of security and voice to air their opinions. These includes pensions, healthcare, protection.

5. Global competition and deregulation in Unionized industries:

Since most of the companies or industries that have union has been deregulated, this has increased its competition, there by, making the need for union not really necessary, because with or without Union, one may still faces sack.

Steady​ Company's stock has a beta of . If the​ risk-free rate is and the market risk premium is ​, what is an estimate of Steady​ Company's cost of​ equity?

Answers

The question is incomplete as it misses the figures. The following is the complete question.

Steady Company's stock has a beta of 0.21. If the risk-free rate is 6.2% and the market risk premium is 6.9%, what is an estimate of Steady Company's cost of equity?

Answer:

The cost of equity is 0.07649 or 7.649%

Explanation:

The required rate of return or cost of equity capital is the rate required by the investors to invest in a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as measure by the beta. The required rate of return or cost of equity can be calculated using the CAPM equation. The CAPM equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * rpM

Where,

rRf is the risk free raterpM is the risk premium on market

r = 0.062 + 0.21 * 0.069

r = 0.07649 or 7.649%

When the Federal Reserve buys long term MBS and Treasury securities from banks and announces its intention to keep buying these assets in large quantities for a long time the effect on commercial banks is to increase the value of fixed income securities that are not sold and at the same time to lower the interest spread between new loans originated and the cost of financing these loans. True False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Since, Federal reserve purchased long term MBS in order to pay the less market interest rate and this will cause a rise in the amount of income i.e fixed securities. Also, due to less market interest rate, the financing cost is less and at the same time interest spread is narrower as it provides more liquidity

Answers

Question Completion:

Choices: Rapid improvements in transportation and communication; the production of goods for a cash market; and the use of inventions and innovations to produce goods for a mass market.

Answer:

The condition that helped to establish the foundation for a market revolution in the United States is:

Rapid improvements in transportation and communication

Explanation:

Rapid improvements in transportation and communication spurred innovations.  With innovations, capitalism was born.  Innovations needed factories for mass production.  In turn, according to American History, "factories and mass production increasingly displaced individual artisans and farmers," who survived at subsistent levels.  Large farms grew and produced crops for distant markets, no longer only for family and local markets.  Most of the crops were further processed, packaged, preserved, and shipped through cheap transportation systems like the Erie Canal, using steamboats.  And the rest, they say, is history.

Generally, partners recognize gain on property contributed to a partnership only when the cash they are deemed to receive from debt relief exceeds their basis in the partnership prior to the deemed distribution. Harry did not have any debt relief.

b) $0.

Partners may never recognize loss when property is contributed to a partnership even when they are relieved of debt.

c) Sally should consider selling the property to the partnership rather than contributing it. By selling the property, she could recognize the $50,000 built-in loss on the equipment.

Fed is open to changing bond policy Fed policymakers signaled for the first time that they could increase or decrease stimulation of the economy in the​ future, but not now. ​Source: Los Angeles Times​, May​ 1, 2013 What are the ripple effects and time lags that the Fed must consider in deciding when to increase or decrease stimulation of the​ economy?

Answers

Answer:

When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.

Explanation:

When trying to stimulate the economy either by increasing or decreasing, policymakers have to take into consideration how it would effect interest rate, amount of money available in the economy, loans that would be acquired by banks and the behavior of interest rate.

Interest rate can be impacted quickly even though the period of time it would take for such action to have a reflection on what quantity of money is available in the economy. Then also a period of 2 years would be taken for this action to take effect on inflation.

Therefore

When the Fed raises the federal funds rate, the inflation rate decreases about two years later.

DPMO stands for:______
a) Defects Per Million Opportunity
b) Defectives Per Million Opportunity
c) Data Per Million Opportunity
d) all of the above
e) none of the above

Answers

Answer:

a) Defects Per Million Opportunity

Explanation:

DPMO is an acronym which stands for Defects Per Million Opportunity. Defects per Million Opportunities refers to a standard metric which represents the number of defects in a process per one million opportunities.

In order to calculate the DPMO, we divide the number of defects by the number of opportunities and then multiply by a million.

Additionally, when a quality characteristics or properties do not tally with a standard or specifications it is generally referred to as a defect.

Hence, in a six sigma approach to quality or level of performance, the defects per million opportunities (DPMO) is 3.4.

You own two bonds. Both bonds pay annual interest, have 7 percent coupons, and currently have 7 percent yields to maturity. Bond A has 5 years to maturity and Bond B has 10 years to maturity. If the market rate of interest changes unexpectedly to 6 percent, the price of Bond A will change by _____ percent and the price of Bond B will change by _____ percent.

Answers

Answer:

the price of Bond A will change by 4.21% and the price of Bond B will change by 7.36%.

Explanation:

Bonds A and B

current bond price $1,000

interest rate 7%

Bond A matures in 5 years, annual payments

Bond B matures in 10 years, annual payments

if market interest decreases to 6%

Bond A:

$1,000 / (1 + 6%)⁵ = $747.26

$70 x 4.2124 (annuity factor, 6%, 5 periods) = $294.87

market price = $1,042.13

% change = 4.21%

Bond B:

$1,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ = $558.39

$70 x 7.3601 (annuity factor, 6%, 10 periods) = $515.21

market price = $1,073.60

% change = 7.36%

An annuity provides for 30 annual payments. The first payment of 100 is made immediately and the remaining payments increase by 8 percent per annum. Interest is calculated at 13.4 percent per annum. Calculate the present value of this annuity.

Answers

Answer:

$1423.38

Explanation:

number of payments ( number of years )(n) = 30

first payment = $100

interest calculated at : 13.4 % = 0.134

increment rate : 8 percent = 0.08

we can calculate the present value using this Equation

= (p / (r-g))  * [1 - [(1+g)/(1+r)]^n ]

where :

p / (r-g) = 100 / (0.134 - 0.08 ) = $1852

[1 - ((1+g)/(1+r)]^n ) =  (1 - ((1.08/1.134)^30 ) =  0.7686

hence the present value of this annuity = $1852 * 0.7686 = $1423.38

Note :

p ( first principal payment ) = $100

r ( calculated interest ) = 13.4% = 0.134

g ( increment interest ) = 8 % = 0.08

Cantor Corporation acquired a manufacturing facility on four acres of land for a lump-sum price of $9,000,000. The building included used but functional equipment. According to independent appraisals, the fair values were $4,500,000, $3,000,000, and $2,500,000 for the building, land, and equipment, respectively. The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be:

Answers

Answer:

Initial value of building = $4,050,000

Initial value of land = $2,700,000

Initial value of equipment = $2,250,000

Explanation:

The fair value of an asset refers to a unbiased estimate of the likely market price of the asset.

The initial value of a fixed asset refers to the amount of money that spent to acquire or create the asset.

The initial value of each asset from a group of asset can be calculated using the following formula:

Initial value of an asset = Lump-sum price * (FVA / TFV) ............ (1)

Where, from the questio;

Lump-sum price = $9,000,000

FVA = Fair value of a particular asset. From the question, we have:

Building fair value = $4,500,000

Land fair value = $3,000,000

Land fair value  = $2,500,000

TFV =Total fair value = Building fair value + Land fair value + Land fair value = $4,500,000 + $3,000,000 + $2,500,000 = $10,000,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we can determine the initial value of each asset as follows:

Initial value of building = $9,000,000 * ($4,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.45 = $4,050,000

Initial value of land = $9,000,000 * ($3,000,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.30 = $2,700,000

Initial value of equipment = $9,000,000 * ($2,500,000 / $10,000,000) = $9,000,000 * 0.25 = $2,250,000

Standard price $ 1.20 per liter

Actual production was 2,600 units.

The company used 18,000 liters of direct material to produce this output.

To calculate the direct material quantity variance, we need to use the following formula:

Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price

Standard quantity= 6.7*2,600= 17,420

Direct material quantity variance= (17,420 - 18,000)*1.2

Bryce Co. sales are $801,000, variable costs are $465,100, and operating income is $287,000. What is the contribution margin ratio

Answers

Answer:

Contribution margin ratio= 0.42

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Bryce Co. sales are $801,000

Variable costs are $465,100

Operating income is $287,000.

To calculate the contribution margin ratio, we need to use the following formula:

contribution margin ratio= (sales - variable cost) / sales

contribution margin ratio= (801,000 - 465,100) / 801,000

contribution margin ratio= 0.42

The advantages of using typedef do not include:a. Making programs more portable by allowing data types to be easily changed to meet system specifications.b. Making type names shorter.c. Making programs more readable.d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.

Answers

Answer:

d. Increasing the efficiency of accessing struct member variables.

Explanation:

In the programming language C and C++ there is a keyword i.e typedef that function is to provide a new name. It is to be used to develop an extra name for the other data type but it does not develop a new data type

Here the advantage of using typedef is as follows

1. It allows the data types for meeting the specifications of the system

2. The name would become shorter

3. Readable program

but it does not increase the efficiency

Hence, the last option is correct

Given the following information. Which of the statements below can you support with this information?

Maximum capacity (labor hours): 480 hours per week
Effective capacity ratio: 85 %
Actual time worked: 380 hours per week over the last two weeks
On-time delivery %: 75 percent of the jobs are being completed on time

a. More capacity needs to be added in the short term to improve performance in the system.
b. We need to look at variability in the rate at which jobs enter the shop.
c. Our workforce is not working hard enough.
d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.
Describe the reasons why you selected the specific option(s) that you did.

Answers

Answer:

d. Our workforce may be waiting on delayed arrivals of inputs needed to do the work.

Explanation:

There are two possible sources for 25% of the jobs not being delivered on time:

we have a problem with inputs required (materials or labor)we have a problem with the capacity of our facility

If we followed Juran's Law, we can simply assume that the problem here has to do with our productive system (like 85% of production errors). Two clear problems are obvious:

only 380 hours worked out of total of 480 hours per week ⇒ why didn't anyone work during the remaining 100 hours? Is there a delay with the inputs or we don't have enough workers?only 85% of the facility's capacity is being used ⇒ why only 85% of the effective capacity ratio? If we are finishing jobs late, why do we have 15% of unused capacity?

Obviously we cannot answer these questions just be reading two paragraphs, but that is what should be answered in order to solve the issues.
