Answer:
1. schedule variance = -$52,500
2. SPI = 0.65
3. CPI = 0.56
Explanation:
to get the solution, we calculate for BRWS and BRWP
first we calculate the budgeted revenue of the work scheduled for each activity using this formula:
budgeted revenue * planned completion
A = 25,000 x 100percent
= $25000
B = 150,000 x (25/30) percent
= $125000
C = 50000 x 0percent
= 0$
total = $25000+$125000+$0
= $150000
Next we calculate budgeted revenue of work performed (brwp)
calculated using this formula:
budgeted revenue x actual completion
A = 25000 x 90percent
= 22500 dollars
B = 150000 x 50percent
= $75000
C = 50000 x 0%
= $0
total = 22500 + 75000 + 0
= $97500
1. schedule variance = BRWP - BRWS
= $97500 - $150000
= -$52500
we have a negative schedule, telling us that the project is behind schedule
2. schedule performance index = revenue of work performed divided by revenue of work schedule
= 97500/150000
= 0.65
3. cost price index = revenue of work performed divided by actual revenue
= 97500/175000
= 0.56
4. how the project is going:
the schedule performance index (SPI) is 0.65 which is less than 1. this is to say that the project is doing better than planned revenue when we talk of revenue
The money demand curve will shift to the left when:
Select one:
a. none of the Options
b. an increase in income
c. sale of government bonds by RMA
d. a reduction in the interest rate
= none of the Options
Answer:
B. an increase of income
Explanation:
The curve shifts to the left if the determinant causes demand to drop. That means less of the good or service is demanded at every price. That happens during a recession when buyers' incomes drop. They will buy less of everything, even though the price is the same.

Suppose the following selected condensed data are taken from a recent balance sheet of Bob Evans Farms (in millions of dollars). Cash $ 30.3 Accounts receivable 19.8 Inventory 27.5 Other current assets 28.4 Total current assets $106.0 Total current liabilities $200.0 Compute working capital and the current ratio. (For working capital, enter answer in millions. If answer is negative enter it with a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15.2 or in parentheses e.g. (15.2). Round current ratio to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.78 : 1.)
Answer:
Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
Working Capital = $106 million - $200 million
Working Capital = -$94 million
Current Ratio = Current Assets/Current Liabilities
Current Ratio = $106 million / $200 million
Current Ratio = 0.53 : 1

Using the following routing information and a From-To Chart, determine the total flow efficiency of the parts assuming an alphabetical order. Give your results in terms of percentage, not as a decimal value, i.e., 54.3 as opposed to .543.
Part Order Relative Weighted Value
1 R E B D C A S 4
2 R A B C D E S 2
3 R C B D A E S 3
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question
answer: 28.12%
Explanation:
The first table is the allotting of relative weighted value in from to chart and also finding the Total.
The second table is found by multiplying 1-times cell distance in the upper 2-times with cell distance in lower triangular values.
Hence Flow efficiency = (Total / penalty ) * 100

Explanation:
You are the general manager of a high end, full service restaurant. You just placed a $10,000 wine order for two upcoming events. As a thank you, the supplier just stopped by to give you a voucher for a two-night stay at an inn which included dinner and a tasting at the winery. Using the guidelines listed below, analyze the situation. What are your conclusions?
Ethical Guidelines from Textbook (Dopson)
Is it legal?
Any course of action that violates written law or company policies and procedures is wrong.
Does it hurt anyone?
Are benefits accruing to the manager that rightfully belong to the owner of the business? Discounts, rebates, and free products are the property of the business, not the manager.
Am I being honest?
Is the activity one that you can comfortably say reflects well on your integrity as a professional, or will the activity actually diminish your reputation?
Would I care if it happened to me?
If you owned the business, would you be in favor of your manager behaving in the manner you are considering? If you owned multiple units, would it be good for the business if all of your managers followed the considered course of action?
Would I publicize my action?
If you have trouble remembering the other questions, try to remember this one. A quick way to review the ethical merit of a situation is to consider whom you would tell about it. If you are comfortable telling your boss about the considered course of action, it is likely ethical. If you would prefer that your actions go undetected, you are probably on shaky ethical ground. If you wouldn’t want your action to be read aloud in a court of law (even if your action is legal), you probably shouldn’t do it.
Answer:
Follows are the solution to the given question:
Explanation:
When they look at the issue in which they start taking the voucher for just a two-night stop at such an accommodation which involves dinner or alcohol degustation, it could be seen as a move to give gratitude to both the supplier but also in breach of the policy and ethics standards established out from the issue. Any other kind of coupon, bribe, and another way of responding to just the supplier's request can be regarded as unethical as it may hinder or affect only judgment, and it also generates a conflict of interest in potential.
If we look at the second law, though, it states that every voucher and voucher earned in support of the role held by the individual belongs to a company, so that the vouchers earned by the manager become owned by the company. Concurrently, the approval of vouchers also questions the honesty or professional integrity of a director.
On consideration of all of the above reasons, the coupon must be rejected by the director or sent to the client because any voucher or coupon was its owner of the employer.

Imagine that a new technology is invented that makes it very cheap to produce highly efficient solar panels that can be put on cars stuff. Give the effect in the following markets.
a. price of solar panels
b. quantity of solar panels
c. price of oil
d. quantity of oil
e. price of tires
f. quantity of tires
Answer
Quantity of solar panels increase , Price of solar panels decrease
Quantity of tires increase, Price of tires increase
Quantity of oil decrease, Price of oil decrease
Explanation:
Supply is directly related to technological upgradation.
So, technical upgrade will increase ie rightwards shift the supply curve. Hence, quantity of solar panels will increase.
Increase in supply will create competition among sellers, so the price of solar panels will decrease
Tires are complementary goods to car solar panels. Price & quantity of complements are inversely related. Lower priced solar panels imply higher demand quantity of tires. Increase & rightwards shift in demand implies competition among buyers & tires' price increase.
Oil is a substitute good to solar panels. Price & quantity of substitutes is directly related. Lower priced solar panels imply lower oil demand quantity. Decrease & leftwards shift in demand curve implies excess supply & competition among sellers, so price of tires decrease.

Stocks A and B have the following data. Assuming the stock market is efficient and the stocks are in equilibrium, which of the following statements is correct?
A B
Price $25 $40
Expected growth 7% 9%
Expected return 10% 12%
A) The two stocks should have the same expected dividend
B) The two stocks could not be in equilibrium with the numbers given in the question
C) A's expected dividend is $0.50
D) B's expected dividend is $0.75
E) A's expected dividend is $0.75 and B's expected dividend is $1.20
Answer: E) A's expected dividend is $0.75 and B's expected dividend is $1.20
Explanation:
Using the Gordon growth model, you can calculate the expected dividend. The formula is:
Price = Expected dividend/ (expected return - expected growth)
Stock A expected dividend
25 = D/ (10% - 7%)
D = 25 * 3%
= $0.75
Stock B expected divided
40 = D / (12% - 9%)
D = 40 * 3%
= $1.20
Option A, C and B are therefore wrong.
Option E is correct.

Select one:
a. the rate of inflation is falling from 5% to 3%
b. the rate of inflation falling from 3% to -2%
c. 3% decrease in inflation and 2% fall in unemployment rate
d. 5% increase in inflation and 3%
increase in unemployment rate
= the rate of inflation is falling from 5% to 3%
Answer:
d. 5% increase in inflation and 3% increase in unemployment rate
Explanation:
Disinflation is a term that describes the slowing down of the rate of inflation. Disinflation will occur when inflation was rising at a high rate, and then it starts to rise at a decreasing rate. Disinflation may be a result of contractionary measures.
Disinflation is a positive situation in the economy because it represents a corrective measure. Inflation was rising at a high rate but has since started to slow down. Disinflation is different from deflation, which is a negative inflation rate. Inflation slowing from 5% to 3% is disinflation.
Mudvayne, Inc., is trying to determine its cost of debt. The firm has a debt issue outstanding with 18 years to maturity that is quoted at 107 percent of face value. The issue makes semiannual payments and has an embedded cost of 6 percent annually.
1. What is the companys pretax cost of debt?
2. If the tax rate is 35 percent, what is the aftertax cost of debt?
Answer:
A. 5.42%
B. 3.52%
Explanation:
A. Calculation for the companys pretax cost of debt
Using this formula
Pretax cost of debt= [Coupon payment +(Face value - price/Number of years)]/[(Face value - price)/2]
Let plug in the formula
Pretax cost of debt = (6%+((100%-107%)/18 years))/((100%+107%)/2)
Pretax cost of debt = 5.42%
Therefore the Pretax cost of debt will be 5.42%
B. Calculation for the aftertax cost of debt
After tax cost of debt = 5.42%*(1-35%)
After tax cost of debt = 5.42%*65%
After tax cost of debt = 3.52%
Therefore the After tax cost of debt will be 3.52%

How is poverty anywhere a threat to prosperity everywhere?
Answer: Here poverty can be explained as a barrier to growth.
Explanation:
Although we indeed live today in a globalized world, where there are greater opportunities for more people, poverty continues to be a problem that can be a barrier to the growth of wealth.
Poverty interferes with the growth of the human being since it limits it and does not allow it to develop its potential, which leads it to remain at the same level where it was and contributes to the growth of poverty.
When poverty is higher, prosperity is lower. Inequalities in many aspects are becoming more marked and although it is true there seem to be greater opportunities, many times those people who come from poverty face difficulties to get out of there, which makes it a kind of circle.
Use the following information from BSJ Industries to determine the predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor costs. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Direct labor hours 50,000
Average hourly pay rate $ 16.00
Manufacturing overhead $ 1,400,000
Answer:
The predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor costs is $1.75 per dollar of direct labor cost.
Explanation:
Predetermine overhead rate is an overhead application rate that is used to allocate the estimated overheads to calculate the estimated cost to manufacture a product while budgeting and planning. The predetermined overhead rate is calculated using an allocation base e.g direct labor hours or machine hours etc.
In the given question the predetermined overhead rate can be calculated as follow
First, we need to determine the direct labor cost
Direct labor cost = Direct Labor hours x Average hourly pay rate
Where
Direct Labor hours = 50,000 hours
Average hourly pay rate = $16.00 per hour
Placing values in the formula
Direct labor cost = 50,000 hours x $16.00 per hour = $800,000.00
Now use the following formula to calculate the predetermined overhead rate
Predetermined Overhead rate = Manufacturing overheads / Direct Labor cost = $1,400,000 / $800,000 = $1.75 per dollar of direct labor cost

Explanation:
A regressive tax is a tax system where the same tax rate is applied uniformly. As a result, those earning less income are taxed higher than those earning more income.
Sales tax is an example of a regressive tax.
If sales tax is 5%. Worker A earns $100 and worker B earns $1000. Both buy a good worth $50 before tax. the sales tax is worth $2.5.
The tax comprises $2,5 / 100 = 2.5% of worker A's income and $2,5 / $1000 = 0.025% of Worker B's income.
