Answer:

When telling a friend about your new job, how would you describe this company’s operations?

Neither effective nor efficient

Explanation:

The company's operations will be considered effective if they achieve objectives.  But they do not produce the desired results because drivers often get the wrong addresses, making freights not to arrive at their destinations.  Similarly, the company's operations cannot be described as efficient because trucks go out half full with wrong addresses.  This is a waste of time, money, and efforts, and the performance competence of the company is questionable.  Efficient operations accomplish results with the least amount of resources.  Effective operations achieve desired results successfully.

Answer:

d. If this community produces 3 pounds of fish and 22 pounds of berries, production is efficient but to produce more fish it faces a tradeoff.

TRUE, IF THEY WANT TO PRODUCE MORE FISH, THEY WILL PRODUCE LESS BERRIES

Answer: $75 Credit

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, there will be a debit of interest expense and also a credit of interest payable. This will be in the amount of:

= $3000 × 5% × 6/12

= $3000 × 0.05 × 0.5

= $75

Debit: Interest expense $75

Credit: Interest expense $75

The answer is $75 credit.

Answer:

6 weeks

Explanation:

Optimistic Completion Time  -  11 weeks

Most likely completion time   -   14 weeks

Pessimistic completion time   -   23 weeks

Compute the expected task variance in weeks. Recall that Variance is a measure of dispersion - a measure that shows the distance or spread between or among values of a variable.

Expected Variance is the average of the variance values.

First,

the variance between optimistic CT and most likely CT is (14 - 11) = 3 weeks

Second,

the variance between pessimistic CT and most likely CT is (23 - 14) = 9 weeks

The expected variance is the average of these two values and that's (3 + 9)/2 = 12/2  = 6 weeks

So the expected variance from the mean completion time of 14 weeks is 6 weeks before or 6 weeks after. This accommodates both the optimist and the pessimist.

Answer:

$159.59  million

Explanation:

The present value of the liability is the future value of the obligation which in this case is $573 million discounted at the 6.6% appropriate discount chosen by the analyst as shown below:

PV=FV/(1+r)^n

PV=the present value of the obligation=the unknown

FV=$573 million

r=discount rate=6.6%

n=number of years before the liability becomes due=20

PV=$573 million/(1+6.6%)^20

PV=$573 million/1.066^20

PV=$573 million/3.590410405

PV=$159.59  million

Answer:

Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years            

Explanation:

Note: This question is incomplete and lacks necessary data to solve. But I have found that necessary data on the internet, which I have written down and solved the question accordingly.

Data Missing:

Buying Cost of House = $320000

Interest rate = 7%

Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8

Now, we are required to calculate the time period required to pay off the mortgage.

Solution:

Data Given:

Increase in annual payment percentage = 5%

So,

Formula:

P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] +  C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] +   C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex]  + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]

Where,

P = Buying Cost of House = $320000

i = interest rate = 7% = 0.07

A = Increase in annual payment percentage = 5% = 0.05

C = Annual Mortgage Payment = $25525.8

P = C[tex]e^{A-i}[/tex] +  C[tex]e^{2(A-i)}[/tex] +   C[tex]e^{3(A-i)}[/tex]  + ........ + C[tex]e^{n(A-i)}[/tex]

In this formula, we have all the required things expect the value of n, which we have to calculate.

n = Time period required to pay the mortgage.

So,

$320000 = 25525.8 [tex]e^{0.05 - 0.07}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{2(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + 25525.8 [tex]e^{3(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex] + ..... + 25525.8 [tex]e^{n(0.05 - 0.07)}[/tex]

Taking 25525.8 common,

320000 = 25525.8  ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

320000/25525.8  = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

12.536 = ( [tex]e^{-0.02}[/tex] +  [tex]e^{-0.04}[/tex]  + [tex]e^{-0.06}[/tex] + .... + [tex]e^{-0.02n}[/tex] )

Taking e common:

12.536 = [tex]e^{-0.02 -0.04 - 0.06 + .... -0.02n}[/tex]

Taking Ln to solve for n, we get:

n = 17.89

n ≈ 18

n = 18 years

Hence, Time period required to pay off the mortgage = 18 years

Answer: Can i get OWA OWA

Explanation:

Answer:

monthly payment. = $703.24 per month

Explanation:

given data

Cost of auto = $21000

Cash Down payment = $5250

Loan amount = PV = 21000-5250

loan amount = $15,750

time period  = 30 monthly

Rate = 24% pa = 24÷12 = 2% pm

solution

we get here monthly payment that is express as

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{P\times r\times (1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n-1}[/tex]      ...................1

put here value and we get

monthly payment. = [tex]\frac{15750\times 0.02\times (1+0.02)^{30}}{(1+0.02)^{30}-1}[/tex]

solve it we get

monthly payment. = $703.24 per month

To improve a company's value chain, its value chain management team identifies each part of its production process and where improvements can be made. These improvements can either reduce costs or improve production capacity.

Answer:

(a) The amount needed is $192,000.

(b) The monthly payment is $150.98.

Explanation:

Note: There are errors in this question. The correct question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

Susan and Bill Stamp want to set up a TDA that will generate sufficient interest at maturity to meet their living expenses, which they project to be $1,200 per month. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

(a) Find the amount needed at maturity to generate $1,200 per month interest, if they can get 7.25% interest compounded monthly.

This can be calculated using the following future value formula:

FV = P / i ........................... (1)

Where;

FV = Amount needed at maturity = ?

P = Monthly payment or amount to generate monthly = $1,200

i = monthly interest rate = Annual interest rate / 12 = 7.25% / 12 = 0.075 / 12 = 0.00625

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

FV = $1,200 / 0.00625 = $192,000

Therefore, the amount needed is $192,000.

(b) Find the monthly payment that they would have to make into an ordinary annuity to obtain the future value found in part (a) if their money earns 9.75% and the term is twenty years.

This can be calculated using the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity as follows:

FV = M * (((1 + r)^n - 1) / r) ................................. (2)

Where,

FV = Future value = $192,000

M = Monthly payment = ?

r = Monthly interest rate = 9.75% / 12 = 0.0975 / 12 = 0.008125

n = number of months = 25 years * Number of months in a year = 25 * 12 = 300

Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for M, we have:

$192,000 = M * (((1 + 0.008125)^300 - 1) / 0.008125)

$192,000 = M * 1271.65920375075

M = $192,000 / 1271.65920375075

M = $150.98

Therefore, the monthly payment is $150.98.

Answer: $16,613

Explanation:

As the noninterest-bearing note required Lincoln to make six annual payments of $4,400, this is an annuity because it is a constant figure.

The amount that should be recorded is the present value of this amount.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -no. of periods) / rate

= 4,400 * ( 1 - ( 1 + 9%)⁻⁶) / 9%

= $19,738

This present value is for September 30, 2023. It needs to be discounted further to September 30, 2021.

= 19,738 / (1 + 9%)²

= $16,613

Answer:   is this a real question ???

Explanation:

Answer:

A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour

Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour

B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour

Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Explanation:

A. Computation of labor productivity under each system

Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers

Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour

Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers

Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers

Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour

B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour

Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour

Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour

Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Answer:

1. $100,000

2. 2021

Dr Bad debt expense $34,970

Cr Allowance for uncollectible account $34,970

3. $28,300

4. $28,300

Explanation:

1. Calculation for What was the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020

Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020=$10,000/ 10%

Balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 = $100,000

Therefore the balance in gross accounts receivable as of 12/31/2020 will be $100,000

2. Preparation of the journal entry that Johnson should record to recognize bad debt expense for 2021

2021

Dr Bad debt expense $34,970

Cr Allowance for uncollectible account $34,970

(10%*$166,700 + $18,300)

3. Calculation to Determine the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021

2021 Accounts receivable written off = $10,000 - (-$18,300)

2021 Accounts receivable written off= $28,300

Therefore the amount of accounts receivable written off during 2021 will be $28,300

4. In a situation where Johnson used the direct write-off method, what would bad debt expense be for 2021 will be $28,300 calculated as : [$10,000 - (-$18,300) ]

=$28,300

Therefore the Bad debt expense under direct write off method will be $28,300

Answer:

Beth should not hire the applicant.

Explanation:

Based on common hiring practices, Beth should not hire the applicant. Mainly due to the applicant's age. It costs a company a large amount of money to properly train an employee in order to have them be as efficient as possible when working for the company. This is regardless of their current experience, therefore if a candidate is as old as this particular candidate and is already thinking of retiring then it will be a waste of company resources to hire the individual candidate. Instead, Beth should go for someone with the same experience/skills but will instead be with the company for the long term.

Answer:

a. It focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services.

Explanation:

An information system or technology can be defined as a set of components or computer systems, which is used to collect, store, and process data, as well as dissemination of information, knowledge, and distribution of digital products. Thus, an information system or technology interacts with its environment by receiving data in its raw forms and information in a usable format.

Information technology is an integral part of human life because individuals, organizations, and institutions rely on information technologies in order to perform their duties, functions or tasks and to manage their operations effectively. For example, all organizations make use of information systems for supply chain management, process financial accounts, manage their workforce, and as a marketing channels to reach their customers or potential customers.

Additionally, an information system comprises of five (5) main components;

1. Hardware.

2. Software.

3. Database.

4. Human resources.

5. Telecommunications.

Hence, in the context of using information technologies for a competitive advantage over rivals in the industry, the statement which is true of a top-line strategy is that, it focuses on generating new revenue by offering new products and services. The top-line strategy ensures that the company continues to generate gross revenue or sales.

There are three products under consideration, each with a cost of $5 million to implement across the company. In this case The product he should purchased is Product B

Answer:

C. 60%

Explanation:

Equivalent unit of Materials = 8,000.00      

Equivalent unit of Conversion = 7,400.00      

Units started and completed = 6,500.00

Since Materials are entered in the beginning it means that out of 8000 Units of Materials 6500 units are in Units started and completed and remaining 1500 Units are in Closing inventory. It also means that 1500 units are in Closing Inventory of Conversion and Equivalent production of conversion part of 1500 Units are 900 Units (7400-6500).

Let % Completion be x      

X% of 1500 = 900      

X = 900*100/1500      

X = 60%.

Answer:

Quantity demanded is -0.4

Explanation:

Quantity demanded is -0.4 if the prices decline from $8 to $10. The cross price elasticity is the change in quantity demanded for the goods when the price of other goods changes. The price change can be minor and the quantity demanded change can be high.

Answer:

D

Explanation:

An economic model is a caricature of reality. It allows users to observe, understand and predict economic phenomena. Economic models don't capture every detail of the real world

Examples of economic models include :

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.

Paolo     Left              8,  3             4,   4

              Right           5,  3             5,   4

Answer:

The only dominant strategy in this game is for ___Paolo______ to choose ____Right______.

The outcome reflecting the unique Nash equilibrium in this game is as follows: Paolo chooses ____Right______ and Sharon chooses __ Right_____.

Explanation:

a) Paolo's dominant strategy is the strategy that always provides the greater utility to Paolo, no matter what Sharon's strategy is.  In this case, the dominant strategy for Paolo is to choose RIGHT always.

b) The Nash Equilibrium concept determines the optimal solution in a non-cooperative game in which each player (e.g. Paolo and Sharon) lacks any incentive to change their initial strategies. This implies that each player can achieve their desired outcomes by not deviating from their initial strategies since each player's strategy is optimal when considering the decisions of the other player.
