Answer:

Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute

Explanation:

From the question :

The Model E can be illustrated perfectly as shown below:

Process Time Required         Predecessor Task           Learning Rate

                per Unit

A                  9                                                                          82

B                 12                                     A                                  86

C                 18                                     B                                  81

D                 9                                      C                                  90

E                 12                                     D                                  80

F                 17                                     E                                   88

G                 14                                     F                                   83

H                 12                                     G                                  85

I                   8                                      H                                  82

Now For the minutes per week for each Process; we have :

Process Time Required         Predecessor      Learning      Minutes

                per Unit                    Task                   Rate               (Week 16)

A                  9                                                      82               4.069096

B                 12                           A                         86              6.564098

C                 18                          B                          81               7.74841

D                 9                           C                          90              5.9049

E                 12                           D                         80               4.9152

F                 17                            E                         88               10.19482

G                 14                           F                         83              6.644165

H                 12                           G                        85              6.264075

I                   8                            H                        82              3.616974

The objective here is to determine the expected Cycle Time for Model E in Week 16

So, we can equally regard the Cycle Time = Bottleneck of Activity for Week 16.

Cycle Time = 10.19482 minute   in as much as it is the the largest activity time for the week 16

Given that the demand per week is : = 247

The available time per week = 40 hours = 40 × 60 hours = 2400 minutes

Talk Time = Available Time Per Week/Demand Per Week

Talk Time = 2400/247

Talk Time = 9.716599

Thus; here  the cycle time is greater than the talk time.

A $500 per person income tax rebate check? A 4.5% increase A 2% increase A 1.5% increase No increase b. A reduction of 5 percent in marginal tax rates?

Answers

Answer:

If every work receives a tax rebate of $500 per person income tax the quantity of labor supplied will not increase because the rebate is a temporary

A 4.5% increase in marginal tax  = 0.16 * 4.5 = 0.72  = 0.7 ( decrease in quantity of labor )

A 2% increase in marginal tax

= 0.16 * 2 = 0.32 = 0.3 ( decrease in quantity of labor )

A 15% increase

= 0.16 * 15 = 2.4 ( decrease in quantity of labor )

No increase = 0.16 = 0.16 ( quantity of labor supplied remains unchanged )

A reduction of 5%

= 0.16 * 5 =  0.8 ( increase in quantity of labor )

Explanation:

Tax elasticity of labor supply = 0.16

What percentage will the quantity of labor supplied increase in response to

A) $500  per person income tax rebate

percentage change in quantity supplied = (tax elasticity of supply) * (percentage change in tax rate ) If every work receives a tax rebate of $500 per person income tax the quantity of labor supplied will not increase because the rebate is a temporary measure and does not have an effect the tax rate in the long run.

B) A 4.5% increase in marginal tax

change in the quantity of labor = tax elasticity * increase marginal tax

                                               0.16 * 4.5 = 0.72  = 0.7 ( decrease in quantity of labor )

A 2% increase in marginal tax

= 0.16 * 2 = 0.32 = 0.3 ( decrease in quantity of labor )

A 15% increase

= 0.16 * 15 = 2.4 ( decrease in quantity of labor )

No increase = 0.16 = 0.16 ( quantity of labor supplied remains unchanged )

A reduction of 5%

= 0.16 * 5 =  0.8 ( increase in quantity of labor )

This​ year, Druehl,​ Inc., will produce 60 comma 000 hot water heaters at its plant in​ Delaware, in order to meet expected global demand. To accomplish​ this, each laborer at the plant will work 160 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.15 hot water heaters per labor​ hour, how many laborers are employed at the​ plant?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is: 2500 employees

Explanation:

Giving the following information we need to calculate the number of employees:

Total production= 60000

Hours per worker= 160 hours

labor productivity= 0,15

It takes to a single employee= 1/0,15= 6,67 hours to make a heater.

Each worker produces=160/6,67=24 heaters a year.

Now we can calculate the number of workers:

60000/24= 2500 employees

An company buys a color printer that will cost $18,000 to buy, and last 5 years. It is assumed that it will require servicing costing $500 each year. What is the equivalent annual annuity of this deal, given a cost of capital of 12%? A. -$3983 B. -$4002 C. -$4957 D. -$5493

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is option (D)

Explanation:

Solution

Given that:

The present value of equity factor for 5 years at 12% discount are = 3.60478

Then,

The present value of servicing costing = -$500 * 3.60478 = -$1802.39

Thus,

The present value of cost to buy =- $18000

The total Present value = -18000 + 1802.39 = -$19802.39

So,

The equivalent annual annuity = total Present value / present value of equity factor

= -$19802.39 / 3.60478

= -$5493.37

Therefore, the equivalent annual annuity of this deal is -$5493.37

Explanation:Fixed exchange rate is a term used in Economics to describe the "pegging" or fixes the amount to which its own currency will trade with a popular currency like the United States Dollar. This will give investors,importers and exporters more stability and confidence as they will not be scared of indiscriminate fluctuations. WITH THIS CONFIDENCE THE RATE OF INFLATION WILL DECLINE AS INVESTORS WILL NOT BE UNDER PRESSURE TO HOARD GOODS OR REDUCE THE VOLUME OF PRODUCTS RELEASED TO THE MARKET AND CONSUMERS WILL NOT BE UNDER PRESSURE TO BUY.

Given the following data, calculate the Total Variable Cost variance.

Answers

Answer:

a. $3,000 Favorable

Explanation:

Variable cost variance is the difference between the budgeted variable cost and actual variable cost for a period.

Use following formula to claculate the variable cost variance

Variable cost variance = Budgeted Variable cost - Actual variable cost

Placing values in the formula

Variable cost variance = Budgeted Variable cost - Actual variable cost

Variable cost variance = $23,000 - $20,000

Variable cost variance = $3,000

As the actual cost is less than the budgeted cost, so the $3,000 is saved in respect of variable cost.

Autoliv in Ogden, Utah creates airbags. The deployment time of an airbag should be between 21 and 27 milliseconds and their current average is 22 milliseconds with a standard deviation of 0.25 milliseconds. Determine the process capability index if they were to center the mean.

Answers

Answer:

4

Explanation:

The calculation of the process capability index is given below

Data provided in the question according to the question is as follows

USL = 27

LSL = 21

Now we take the average

X = (21 +27) ÷ 2

= 24

The standard deviation is 0.25

= min(USL - mean ÷ 3 × standard deviation , mean - LSL ÷ 3 × standard deviation)

After solving this the process capability index is 4
