Before: 90 ÷ 6 = 15.00 carts per worker per hour.
After: 96 ÷ 5 = 19.20 carts per worker per hour.
b.
Before: $14 x 6 = $84 + $40 = $124; hence 90 ÷ $124 = 0.73 carts/dollar cost.
After: $14 x 5 = $70 + $51 = $121; hence 96 ÷ $121 = 0.79 carts/dollar cost.
c.
Labor productivity increased by 28.00% (4.20/15.00).
Multifactor productivity increased by 8.22% (0.06/0.73).
Typical of price ceilings, the ancient Indian political philosopher known as Kautilya advocated controls to protect against merchant greed, fixing a profit of 5% over the fixed price of local commodities, including textiles. If severe weather were to render the textile market more uncertain (e.g., if transportation routes were damaged), what would reasonably happen
Answer:
Fewer merchants would be willing to supply textiles.
Explanation:
Price ceilings are the maximum price that is set for commodities in a particular market by the government. It is aimed at protecting buyers from excessive price exploitation by sellers.
In the given scenario the price of commodities was set at 5% above fixed price of local communities. This means sellers can make a maximum of 5% on any sale.
However severe weather rendered the textile market more uncertain.
The result will be that sellers will be less willing to provide commodities as they are not able to push the added cost to the buyer.
Kraus Steel Company has two departments, Casting and Rolling. In the Rolling Department, ingots from the Casting Department are rolled into steel sheet. The Rolling Department received 72,700 tons from the Casting Department in October. During October, the Rolling Department completed 75,100 tons, including 8,200 tons of work in process on October 1. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 5,800 tons. How many tons were started and completed during October?
Answer:
66,900 tons
Explanation:
Calculation for How many tons were started and completed during October
Using this formula
Tons started and completed during October
= Units completed - Beginning work in process units completed
Let plug in the formula
Tons started and completed during October= 75,100 tons - 8,200 tons
Tons started and completed during October= 66,900 tons
Therefore the numbers of tons that were started and completed during October will be 66,900 tons
As the field of OSCM has advanced, new concepts have been applied to help companies compete in a number of ways, including the advertisement of the firm's products or services.

Suppose that Colombia imports cars from Australia. The free market price is $9,200.00 per car. If the tariff on imports in Colombia is initially 38%, Colombians pay ________ per car.
One of the accomplishments of the Uruguay Round that took place between 1986 and 1993 was significant across-the-board tariff cuts for industrial countries, as well as many developing countries. Suppose that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Colombia reduces its import tariffs to 19%. Assuming the price of cars is still $9,200.00 per car, consumers now pay the price of ________ per car.
Based on the calculations and the scenarios presented, the Uruguay Round most likely _________ in Colombia and ________ in Australia.
Answer:
1) Colombians pay $ 12,696,000 per car.
2) Consumers now pay the price of $10,948,000 per car.
Explanation:
1) Given that Colombia imports cars from Australia, and the free market price is $ 9,200.00 per car, if the tariff on imports in Colombia is initially 38%, Colombians pay $ 12,696,000 per car.
This arises from the following calculation:
9,200.00 x 1.38 = X
12.696.00 = X
2) Since that as a result of the Uruguay Round, Colombia reduces its import tariffs to 19%. Assuming the price of cars is still $ 9,200.00 per car, consumers now pay the price of $10,948,000 per car.
This arises from the following calculation:
9,200,000 x 1.19 = X
10,948,000 = X

Magic Realm, Inc., has developed a new fantasy board game. The company sold 16,400 games last year at a selling price of $62 per game. Fixed expenses associated with the game total $246,000 per year, and variable expenses are $42 per game. Production of the game is entrusted to a printing contractor. Variable expenses consist mostly of payments to this contractor.
1A. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year1B. Compute the degree of operating levarge2. Management is confident that the company can sell 33,306 games next year (an increase of 6,006 games, or 22%, over last year).A. Compute the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next yearB. Compute the expected total dollar net operating income for next year (Do not prepare an income statement, use the degree of leverage to compute your answer)
Answer:
1A. Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year
Revenue $1,016,800
Variable costs -$688,800
Contribution margin $328,000
Fixed costs -$246,000
Net income $82,000
1B. Compute the degree of operating leverage
DOL = contribution margin / (contribution margin - fixed costs) = ($20 x 16,400) / [($20 x 16,400) - $246,000] = $328,000 / $82,000 = 4
2. Management is confident that the company can sell 22,406 games next year (an increase of 6,006 games, or 22%, over last year).A. Compute the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year
DOL = % change in income / % change in total sales
4 = % change in income / 22%
% change in income = 4 x 22% = 88%
B. Compute the expected total dollar net operating income for next year (Do not prepare an income statement, use the degree of leverage to compute your answer)
expected dollar amount of net income = $82,000 x 1.88 = $154,160
The balance sheet at December 31, 2018, for Nevada Harvester Corporation includes the liabilities listed below: 10% bonds with a face amount of $54 million were issued for $54 million on October 31, 2009. The bonds mature on October 31, 2029. Bondholders have the option of calling (demanding payment on) the bonds on October 31, 2019, at a redemption price of $54 million. Market conditions are such that the call is not expected to be exercised. Management intended to refinance $11.2 million of its 10% notes that mature in May 2019. In early March, prior to the actual issuance of the 2018 financial statements, Nevada Harvester negotiated a line of credit with a commercial bank for up to $4.8 million any time during 2019. Any borrowings will mature two years from the date of borrowing.
Noncallable 10% bonds with a face amount of $28.0 million were issued for $28.0 million on September 30, 1996. The bonds mature on September 30, 2019. Sufficient cash is expected to be available to retire the bonds at maturity. A $19 million 7% bank loan is payable on October 31, 2024. The bank has the right to demand payment after any fiscal year-end in which Nevada Harvester’s ratio of current assets to current liabilities falls below a contractual minimum of 1.7 to 1 and remains so for six months. That ratio was 1.45 on December 31, 2018, due primarily to an intentional temporary decline in inventory levels. Normal inventory levels will be reestablished during the first quarter of 2019.

Johnson Electronics is considering extending trade credit to some customers previously considered poor risks. Sales would increase by $125,000 if credit were extended to these new customers. Of the new accounts receivable generated, 8% will prove to be uncollectible. Additional collection costs will be 3% of sales, and production and selling costs will be 80% of sales. The firm is in the 30 percent tax bracket.
A. Compute the incremental income after taxes.
B. What will Johnson’s incremental return on sales be if these new credit customers are accepted?
C. If the accounts receivable turnover ratio is 6 to 1, and no other asset buildup is needed to serve the new customers, what will Johnson’s incremental return on new average investment be?
Answer:
net increase in sales = $125,000 x (1 - 8% - 3%) = $111,250
net increase in costs = $125,000 x 80% = $100,000
average investment in assets = $125,000 / 6 = $20,833
A. Compute the incremental income after taxes.
incremental income = $111,250 - $100,000 = $11,250B. What will Johnson’s incremental return on sales be if these new credit customers are accepted?
return on sales = $11,250 / $125,000 = 9%C. If the accounts receivable turnover ratio is 6 to 1, and no other asset buildup is needed to serve the new customers, what will Johnson’s incremental return on new average investment be?

Although New York State is second only to Washington State in production of​ apples, its production has been declining during the past 20 years. The decline has been particularly steep in counties close to New York City. In​ 1985, there were more than​ 11,000 acres of apple orchards in Ulster​ County, which is 75 miles north of New York City.​ Today, only about​ 6,000 acres remain. As it became difficult for apple growers in the county to compete with​ lower-cost producers​ elsewhere, the resources these entrepreneurs were using to produce applesparticularly landbecame more valuable in other uses. Many farmers sold their land to housing developers. Suppose a revolutionary new diet is developed that involves eating 10 apples per​ day, and the new diet becomes wildly popular. ​Source: Lisa W.​ Foderaro, "Plenty of​ Apples, but a Possible Shortage of Immigrant​ Pickers," New York Times​, August​ 21, 2007. Because of the popularity of the​ diet, the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City will likely increase decrease .
What effect is the new diet likely to have on the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City? What effect is the diet likely to have on housing prices in New York City?
Answer:
1. Increase in number of orchards
2. Increase in housing prices
Explanation:
1. What effect is the new diet likely to have on the number of apple orchards within 100 miles of New York City?
There is going to be increased demand for apples due to this new diet and this increase in demand is going to bring about a hike in the price for apples. This price increase would make business to be viable for these apple farmers. More people would want to own orchards just to make money out of the boom in apples. Because apple farming now seems to be more profitable than other activities. So this would cause the number of apple orchards that are within 100 miles of new york city to increase.
2. What effect is the diet likely to have on housing prices in New York City?
There would be an increase in housing prices in New york city as farmers would rather be planting apples on these lands instead of sellng them to developers for building houses. There would be a decrease in the supply of housing in New york.Store Travel Time Each Way Price of a Dress

Based on your experience and shopping habit, discuss WHAT inventory control model you will use in the following scenarios and WHY you will use that specific model. a. Supply our kitchen with fresh food b. Obtaining a daily newspaper c. Buying gas for your car d. Ordering the game sweater for the community baseball game Inventory control models: Single period model (also called Newsvendor model) Fixed order quantity model (also called Q-model or EOQ model) Fixed time model (also called P-model)
Answer:
2 types of inventory models:
1. Fixed Reorder Quantity System - It is a system where an alarm is raised when the inventory level drops below a fixed quantity and inventory is restocked based on demand.
2. Fixed Reorder Period System - It is a system where an alarm is raised after a fixed period of time and inventory is restocked based on demand.
The following situation are:
1. Supply kitchen with fresh food - Both Fixed Reorder Quantity System and Fixed Reorder Period System are suitable for this situation. Reason: Food is considered basic need. Certain food items are stocked when the inventory level drops below a fixed quantity and certain food items are stocked after a fixed period of time, both as per demand.
2. Obtaining daily newspaper - Fixed Reorder Period System is only suitable for this situation. Reason: Subscription is renewed only on completion of the fixed period.
3. Buying gas for your car - Fixed Reorder Quantity System is only suitable for this situation. Reason: Gas for your car is something you buy when the level of inventory drops below a fixed quantity and hence used.
4. Ordering the game sweater for the community baseball game - Fixed Order Period System is only suitable for this situation. Reason: Game sweater is required only during the game and you will order/buy the game sweater during the game only.

Bambino Sporting Goods makes baseball gloves that are very popular in the spring and early summer season. Units sold are anticipated as follows: Monthly Unit Sales 4,000 8,000 13,000 11,000 March April May June Total units 36,000 sold If seasonal production is used, it is assumed that inventory will directly match sales for each month and there will be no inventory buildup The production manager thinks the preceding assumption is too optimistic and decides to go with level production to avoid being out of merchandise. He will produce the 36,000 units over four months at a level of 9,000 per month.
a. What is the ending inventory at the end of each month?
b. If the inventory costs $12 per unit and will be financed at the bank at a cost of 6 percent, what is the monthly financing cost and the total for the four months?
Answer:
Bambino Sporting Goods
a. March April May June
Ending Inventory 5,000 6,000 2,000 0
b. Monthly financing cost = $540
Total for the four months = $2,160
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
March April May June
Beginning Inventory 0 5,000 6,000 2,000
Production 9,000 9,000 9,000 9,000
Monthly sales 4,000 8,000 13,000 11,000
Ending Inventory 5,000 6,000 2,000 0
Cost of inventory = $12 per unit
Monthly financing cost = $540 ($108,000 * 6% * 1/12)
Total financing cost for the four months = $2,160 ($540 * 4)
Suppose the current price of a good is $130. At this price, the quantity supplied is 125 units, and the quantity demanded is 165 units. For every $1 increase in price, the quantity supplied increases by 2 units and the quantity demanded decreases by 2 units.At the current price, the quantity demanded isgreater than the quantity supplied. This means that the market is currently experiencing ashortage . In order to adjust, the market price willincrease until the quantity demanded and quantity supplied are equal. The result is an equilibrium quantity of ________ and an equilibrium price of ________
Answer:
Equilibrium quantity: 145
Equilibrium price: $140
Explanation:
In order to find the answer, first we determine the current difference between quantity supplied and quantity demanded.
Quantity supplied - quantity demanded = difference
125 - 165 = -40
So we have a shortage of -40 units.
We have the information that a $1 increase in price increases supply by 2, and decreases demand by 2. Thus, in order to close the shortage, we need a $10 price increase, because this will raise supply by 20 units, and lower demand by 20 units as well, bringing the 40 gap to 0.
For this reason, the equilibrium quantity is 145 units, and the equilibrium price is $140.

Based on the following data, determine the cost of merchandise sold for November:
Increase in estimated returns inventory $7,900
Merchandise inventory, November 1 13,200
Merchandise inventory, November 30 25,300
Purchases 263,400
Purchases returns and allowances 9,000
