Answer:
79.1%
Explanation:
Hoosier manufacturing operates a production shop that is modelled to have the lowest unit of production
The output rate is 145 units per hour
In the month of July the company operated the production line for 265 hours
30,400 units of output were produced
Therefore, the capacity utilization rate can be calculated as follows
= 30,400 units/265 hours ×145
= 30,400/38,425
= 0.791×100
= 79.1%
Hence the capacity utilization rate for the month is 79.1%
Determine the value-added, non-value-added, and total lead times, and the value-added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches. If required, round percentages to one decimal place. Present Approach Proposed Approach Value-added time 23 min 23 min Non-value-added time 1,582 min 105 min Total lead time 1,605 min 1,605 min Value-added ratio (as a percent) 14 % 21 %
Answer:
Hello some parts of your question is missing attached below is the missing part
Answer : value added times : 30 minutes , 30 minutes
non-value added times: 1210 minutes, 130 minutes
Total lead times : 1240 minutes, 160 minutes
value added time as a ratio: 2.4%, 18.8%
Explanation:
Given data:
production batch sizes = 40 units
process step 1 = 6 minutes
process step 2 = 10 minutes
process step 3 = 6 minutes
process step 4 = 8 minutes
Determining : The value added, non-value added , total lead times and value added ratio under the present and proposed production approaches
UNDER PRESENT PRODUCTION APPROACH
Th value added time:
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time:
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + move time between each step
= 30*39+8*5
= 1170 +40 = 1210 minutes
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time
= 30 + 1210 = 1240 minutes
value added time as a percentage/ratio
(value added time / total lead time) * 100
= 30 / 1240 * 100 = 2.4%
UNDER PROPOSED PRODUCTION APPROACH
value added time :
= summation of all process times = (6+10+6+8) = 30 minutes
Non-value added time :
= Value added time *(Batch size -1) + time between each step
= 30*4+2*5 = 120 + 10 = 130 mins
total lead time :
= value added time + non-value added time = 30 +130 = 160 mins
value added time as a percentage/ratio:
(value added time / total lead time ) * 100
= (30 / 160) * 100 = 18.8%
Identify whether each of the following examples belongs in M1 or M2.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD).
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
It should be noted that M1 will be derived as Currency plus the Travelers check while M2 will be M1 plus the certificate of deposit plus the money market account.
a. Van has $2,500 in a savings account.
It should be noted that money in a savings account will have to be included in M2.
b. Paolo has a $10 bill in his wallet.
This fits into the description of both M1 and M2 forms of money.
c. Amy has $7,000 in a six-month certificate of deposit (CD)
The certificate of deposit is included in the M2.
Answer:
Option A is M2
Option B is M1
Option C is M2
Explanation:
The above classifications speak to various categories of money supply.
M1 refers to the supply of money that is composed of physical currency such as notes, coins, demand deposits other checkable deposits, etc.
Simply put, M1 would include forms of money that are liquid or easy to convert into cash.
M2 and M3 which are also known as "near money" and "near, near money," are money types which cannot be converted to currency as quickly as M1.
Another example of M2 is Money Market Mutual Funds. M1 is often included when calculating for M2.

Explanation:
Barron, Inc. sold goods for on account. The company operates in a state that imposes a % sales tax. What is the amount of the sales tax payable to the state
Answer: A. $96,855
Explanation:
Sales taxes are a form of revenue for Government and are paid on certain goods and services.
The formula is;
Sales tax payable = Goods sold * Sales Tax rate
= 880,500 * 0.11
= $96,855
A financial advisor informs a client that the expected return on a portfolio is 8% with a standard deviation of 12%. There is a 25% chance the return will be negative and a 15% chance that the return would be above 16%. Does her assessment follow a normal distribution? Calculate the probabilities for a normal distribution and compare.
Answer:
A) The assessment does not follow a normal distribution
B ) P(r<0) = 0.2546 ( from standard normal table ), P( r > 0.16 ) ≠ 0.15
Explanation:
Expected return on portfolio E (r) = 8%
Standard deviation (STD) = 12%
chances of Negative return P(r < 0 ) = 25%
calculate the probabilities for a normal distribution
E (r) = 0.08 , STD = 0.12, P(r < 0 ) = 0.25
P( r > 0.16 ) = 0.15
calculating the value of the probability P(r < 0 )
P(r < 0 ) = P [tex](Z < \frac{0-E(r)}{STD} )[/tex]
= P ( Z < [tex]\frac{0-0.08}{0.12}[/tex] )
= P ( Z < - 0.667 )
P(r<0) = 0.2546 ( from standard normal table )
calculating the value of the probability P( r > 0.16 )
P( r > 0.16 ) = [tex]P ( Z > \frac{0.16- E(r)}{STD})[/tex]
= P ( Z > [tex]\frac{0.16-0.08}{0.12}[/tex] )
= P ( Z > 0.667 )
to compare if p(r>0.16 ) is = 0.15
P(R > 0.16 ) = 1 - P ( Z < 0.667 )
= 1 - 0.7454 ( value from standard normal table )
= 0.2546
hence P( r > 0.16 ) ≠ 0.15
The assessment does not follow a normal distribution
King Company issued bonds with a face amount of $1,600,000 in 2015. As of January 1, 2020, the balance in Discount on Bonds Payable is $4,800. At that time, King redeemed the bonds at 102.Required:Assuming that no interest is payable, make the entry to record the redemption.
Answer:
January 1, 2020
Bonds Payable 1600000 Dr
Loss on Redemption of bonds 36800 Cr
Discount on Bonds Payable 4800 Cr
Cash 1632000 Cr
Explanation:
The redemption of bonds before the maturity usually requires a payment for redemption which is a certain percentage of its face value. It is usually higher than the face value. The above bonds are redeemed at 102 which means at 102% of the face value of the bonds. Thus, the cash paid to redeem the bonds is,
Cash = 1600000 * 102% = 1632000
The bonds have a carrying value, which is the face value less discount or add premium, of,
Carrying value = 1600000 - 4800 = $1595200
If they are redeemed for an amount in excess of the carrying value, they are redeemed at a loss.
The loss on redemption is,
Loss = 1595200 - 1632000 = $36800
A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year. Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year, and ordering costs are $96. The following price schedule applies.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
A mail-order house uses 18,000 boxes a year.
Carrying costs are 60 cents per box a year =$0.60
and ordering costs are $96.
Determine:
A. The optimal order quantity.
The optimal order quantity can be calculated by using the formula:
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2DS}{H}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{2*18000*96}{0.60}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{\dfrac{3456000}{0.60}}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = \sqrt{5760000}[/tex]
[tex]Q_o = 2400 \ boxes[/tex]
B. The number of orders per year.
of boxes: 1,000-1,999 Price per box: $1.25
of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20
of boxes: 5,000- 9,999 Price per box : $1.15
of boxes: 10,000 or more Price per box : $1.10
SInce 2400 boxes lies within ''of boxes: 2,000- 4,999 Price per box: $1.20 ''
Total cost = Carrying cost + ordering cost + Purchasing cost
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{2400}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{2400}) 96+1.20*18000[/tex]
Total cost = ( 1200) 0.60 + 7.5(96) + 1.20(18000)
Total cost = 720 + 720 + 21600
Total cost = $ 23040
If the order size is 5000, the price per box will be 1.15
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{5000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{5000}) 96+1.15*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 2500 (0.60) + 3.6 (96) + 20700
Total cost = 1500 + 345.6 + 20700
Total cost = $22545.6
If the order size is 10000 , the price per box will be 1.10
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{Q}{2} )H +(\dfrac{D}{Q}) S+PD[/tex]
[tex]Total \ cost =(\dfrac{10000}{2} )0.60 +(\dfrac{18000}{10000}) 96+1.10*18000[/tex]
Total cost = 5000 (0.60) + 1.8(96) + 19800
Total cost = 3000 + 172.8 + 19800
Total cost = $22972.8
From the three total cost, the least minimum cost of ordering is: 5000
So; the number of orders per year = total number of boxes per year/ boxes per order
the number of orders per year = 18000/5000
the number of orders per year = 3.6 orders per year
Identify at least two challenges that Salesforce faces and explain why these are important challenges to Salesforce.
Answer:
Two challenges that Salesforce may face today:
1. Competitions
2. Cash Flows
Explanation:
1. Salesforce has been the global Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) provider for Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. However, they are challenged by new market joiners such as Hubspot. There are also new startups offering free and simple cloud-based CRM systems that targetting small businesses. The entry of the new competitors seriously threatens the leading market share of Salesforce.
2. The current pandemic affected negatively to all enterprises, including Salesforce's outstanding customers. They should expect a drop in their total number of fee payers while the cost to maintain their high product standard is still the same as before. It may give them a lot of working capital headaches.
A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested. a. How much money will they have accumulated 30 years from now
Answer:
Total future value= $408,334.38
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A couple thinking about retirement decide to put aside $3,000 each year in a savings plan that earns 8% interest. In 5 years they will receive a gift of $10,000 that also can be invested.
First, we will determine the future value of the annual deposit investment. We need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
FV= {3,000*[(1.08^30) - 1]} / 0.08
FV= $339,849.63
Now, for the $10,000:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV= 10,000*(1.08^25)
FV= $68,484.75
Total future value= 339,849.63 + 68,484.75
Total future value= $408,334.38
air pollution causes capital to wear out more rapidly, doubling the rate of depreciation. How would this affect economic growth?
Answer:
The economic growth will be lower.
Explanation:
The rise in pollution and the doubling of the rate of depreciation will affect economic growth adversely. However, rapid wear and tear of capital will cost the person and it will reduce the purchasing power. Thus, lower purchasing power will result in lower economic growth. Moreover, pollution creates three main problems that are reduced labor productivity, rise in health problems, and loss of crop yield. So the reduction in all these factors will also slow down economic growth.

Founder of Vanguard, Jack Bogle, believes that all investors should buy stock indices. Group of answer choices He believes in strong form market efficiency. He believes in semi-strong form market efficiency. He believes in weak form market efficiency. He believes markets are not efficient.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
1. He believes in strong form market efficiency.
Explanation:
Jack Bogle believed that, in a situation where people simply buy an entire group of stocks as a result of investors investing money into the index fund, it will create a strong market. That is, if every investor in the world only purchased the same index fund, then the market of buyers and sellers would no longer set the fair market price of the stocks in the stock market.

A gift-wrapping business is staffed by Kaitlyn, Rob, Sam, Susan and Sarah. The production by each of the staff members for an average eight-hour work day is as follows:
Assume that the standard or normal productivity in the organization is 10 minutes per package. What is Kaitlyn's efficiency?
Kaitlyn Rob Sam Susan Sarah
72 packages 55 packages 52 packages 52 packages 48 packages
a. 0.75 (75%)
b. 1.50(150%)
c. 9.0 packages per hour
d. 1.50 packages per hour
e. 9.0 minutes per package
Answer:
b. 1.50(150%)
Explanation:
Given that, the standard time per packages is 10 minutes
Then, the total time taken in eight hour shift is 8 * 60 = 480 minutes
The standard output = Total time taken / Standard time = 480/10 = 48 packages
Therefore, the efficiency of Kaitlyn = Kaitlyn's Output / Standard output
=72 / 48
= 1.5
Hence, the answer is 150% or 1.5

Identify factors that could prevent an older, established company from effecting an enterprise-wide, customer-centric culture.
Answer:
A more established company may find it difficult to implement an enterprise-wide, customer-centric culture due to the following reasons:
A) Existence of a Multi-Product Business Model
A business entity that is well established with a lot of years under its belt will find it a tough challenge to shift from a product-oriented business model to a customer-oriented business model.
To be product-focused simply means that that a company has woven its organisational structure around products. For examples, a company that is into the gaming business may have teams for their Sports Betting Section, another for their online gaming section, game hardware section, gaming apps section etc.
First, for these various teams, their performance metric will largely depend on how functionally efficient their products are.
Second, techy or geeky staff are seldom efficient when it comes to emotional intelligence - a key requirement for being customer efficient.
One way to handle this is to ensure that there is a central Customer Relationship Management team that oversees the customers for each product.
B) Organisational Inflexibility
As direct to the point as it sounds, getting market intelligence for with the intention to use them for decision making is challenging. What is tougher is the ability to implement the insights from such intelligence to effect a turn around in the way customers perceive and respond to a company's offerings.
The ability to quickly take gather market intel, agree on a strategic direction based on same and execute can be referred to organisational agility.
The more bureaucratic and hierarchical an organisation is (this, by the way, characterises older and more established business systems) the less agile it is likely to be.

Badger Corporation declared a stock distribution to all shareholders of record on March 25 of this year. Shareholders will receive one share of Badger stock for each 10 shares of stock they already own. Madison Cheesehead owns 1,000 shares of Badger stock with a tax basis of $100 per share. The fair market value of the Badger stock was $110 per share on March 25 of this year.Required:a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009? b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable? c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
Answer:
a. What amount of taxable dividend income, if any, does Madison recognize in 2009?
Madison doesn't have to recognize any income because she is not getting any. Only after Madison decides to sell his stocks will he recognize any taxable income if she makes a gain.
b. What is Madison's income tax basis in her new and existing stock in Badger Corporation, assuming the distribution is non-taxable?
Madison current basis is $100 per stock, and after the stock dividend it will be $100 / 1.1 = $90.91 per stock
c. How would you answer questions a and b if Madison was offered the choice between 1 share of stock in Badger for each 10 shares she owned or $100 cash for each 10 shares she owned in Badger?
then the cash dividend would be $10 per stock, which results in $10 x 1,000 = $10,000 taxable income. Her basis in the stock will remain not change.
A firm has net working capital of $2,715, net fixed assets of $22,407, sales of $31,350, and current liabilities of $3,908. How many dollars' worth of sales are generated from every $1 in total assets
Answer:
So, from every $1 of total assets, $1.08 worth of sales are generated.
Explanation:
To calculate how many dollars worth of sales are generated by $1 of total assets, we use the total assets turnover ratio. It is an accounting measure that measures the efficiency of the company's assets in generating sales. It calculates the dollar values of sales generated by each $1 of total assets. The formula for total assets turnover is,
Total Assets Turnover = Sales / Average Total Assets
We already know the level of sales. We need to determine the value of total assets first.
Total Assets = Fixed assets + Current Assets
As we know that net working capital = current assets - current liabilities,
So, the current assets are,
2715 = Current assets - 3908
2715 + 3908 = Current assets
Current assets = $6623
Total assets = 6623 + 22407
Total assets = $29030
Total Assets Turnover = 31350 / 29030
Total assets turnover = 1.0799 rounded off to 1.08
So, from every $1 of total assets, $1.08 worth of sales are generated.
Midyear on July 31st, the Digby Corporation's balance sheet reported: Total Assets of $205.498 million Total Common Stock of $6.350 million Cash of $10.050 million Retained Earnings of $44.117 million. What were the Digby Corporation's total liabilities?
a) $165.081 million.
b) $144.981 million.
c) $155.031 million.
d) $161.381 million.
Answer:
The value of total liabilities is $155.031 million and option c is the correct answer.
Explanation:
The basic accounting equation states that the total value of assets is always equal to the sum of the total value of liabilities and the total value of equity.
Thus, we can say that,
Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Equity
The equity part can contain various components. In the given question it has two components namely Common Stock and retained earnings.
205.498 = Total Liabilities + (6.350 + 44.117)
205.498 = Total Liabilities + 50.467
205.498 - 50.467 = Total Liabilities
Total Liabilities = $155.031

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
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.
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?
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.

Graham Motors manufactures specialty tractors. It has two divisions: a Treactor Division and a Tire Division. The Tractor Division can use the tires produced by the Tire Division. The market price per tire is $75. The Tire Division has the following costs per tire:Direct material cost per tire: $15Conversion costs per tire: $3 (Assume the $3 includes only the variable portion of conversion costs.)Fixed manufacturing overhead cost for the year is expected to total $116,000. The Tire Division expects to manufacture 58,000 tires this year. The fixed manufacturing overhead per tire is $2 ($116,000 divided by 58,000 tires).Assume that the Tire Division has excess capacity, meaning that it can produce tires for the Tractor Division without giving up any of its current tire sales to outsiders. If Graham Motors has a negotiated transfer price policy, what is the lowest acceptable transfer price? What is the highest acceptable transfer price?• The lowest acceptable transfer price is $_______, the Tire Division's ______________.• The highest acceptable transfer price is $_______, the Tire Division's _____________.
Answer:
The LOWEST acceptable transfer price is $18 the Tire Division's variable cost per tire.
The HIGHEST acceptable transfer price is $75the Tire Division's market price.
Explanation:
Calculation for the lowest acceptable transfer price and the highest acceptable transfer price
Variable Cost per tire:
Direct Material $15
Conversion cost $3
