Answer:
The number of Kanbans circulating between this workstation and the previous workstation is 6 Containers
Explanation:
Given demand = 200 unit / hour
45 minutes between one workstation to another
Container size = 30
Safety factor = 20% = 0.2
Demand during lead time of 45 minutes = 45minute / 60minute * 200 units = 150 units
Number of Kanbans = Demand during lead time ( 1 + Safety factor) / Container size
= 150 (1 + 0.20) / 30
= 150 (1.20) / 30
= 180 / 30
= 6 Containers

Explanation:
Claudia and Dayson are upper-level managers working for the same company, but they are located in different countries and come from different cultures. The company is implementing a new accounting process, so Jorge, the company CEO, invites Claudia, Dayson, and a few other managers to join him on a video conference. During the video conference, Claudia asks Jorge if the company will be creating a temporary help desk to ease the transition. Jorge replies, "I'll think about it and get back to you later." To Claudia, this means he will honestly consider the possibility and will send an email with his decision. To Dayson, Jorge's expression during this statement indicates that he is simply maintaining social harmony and that a help desk will not be created. Which of the following is most likely true about Claudia's and Dayson's cultures?
A) Claudia is from a high-context culture, and Dayson is from a low-context culture.
B) Dayson is from a high-context culture, and Claudia is from a low-context culture.
C) Both Claudia and Dayson are from high-context cultures.
D) Both Claudia and Dayson are from low-context cultures.
The correct answer is B) ) Dayson is from a high-context culture, and Claudia is from a low-context culture.
Explanation:
The term "high-context culture" is used to refer to cultures in which implicit communication, nonverbal elements, and context are important factors of communication. This implies many words and expressions in these cultures do not have a literal meaning. According to this, it is likely Dayson is from a high-context culture, considering he focused on the implicit message in Jorge's words rather than considering the message was literal.
On the other hand, in "low-context culture" elements such as implicit meaning or context are not frequently used, this means, most communication is literal and explicit. This shows Claudia is from a low-context culture because rather than thinking Jorge's answer was just a formalism or irony, she interpreted the message literally.
Nancy sold three capital assets that were held for investment. She sold stock in ABC Corporation for a gain of $10,000; stock in XYZ Corporation for a gain of $2,000; and corporate bonds for a loss of $20,000. Assuming all of the investments had a long-term holding period, how will the transactions be treated for tax purposes
Answer:
D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year
Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as it does not include the options. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the questions follows:
Nancy sold three capital assets that were held for investment. She sold stock in ABC Corporation for a gain of $10,000; stock in XYZ Corporation for a gain of $2,000; and corporate bonds for a loss of $20,000. Assuming all of the investments had a long-term holding period, how will the transactions be treated for tax purposes?
A) Gain of $12,000 taxed at 15% and a loss of $20,000 deductible against ordinary income
B) Net loss of $8,000 that is fully deductible against ordinary income in the current year
C) Net loss of $8,000 that results in no deduction in the current year, but can be carried forward to offset capital gains for the next year
D) $3,000 deduction against ordinary income with a $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year
The explanation to the answer is therefore presented as follows:
The first step is to compute the net capital gain (loss) is as follows:
Particulars $
Gain from the sale of stock in ABC Corporation 10,000
Gain from the sale of stock in XYZ Corporation 2,000
Loss from the sale of corporate bonds (20,000)
Net capital gain (loss) (8,000)
In the US, individuals are allowed to use up to $3,000 to reduce their taxable income in the first year of the loss, while the remaining capital losses will be carried over to the next years.
From the net capital gain computed above, the correct option is D. That is, the $8,000 loss will be treated for tax purposes as a $3,000 deduction against ordinary income in the current year with the remaining $5,000 capital loss carried forward to offset income for next year.
Martha is a 40 percent partner in the MMM Partnership, with an outside basis of $50,000. MMM distributes $40,000 cash and accrual-basis accounts receivable with a basis and fair market value of $20,000. Martha does not recognize gain or loss on the distribution and takes a basis in the cash of $40,000 and a basis in the receivables of $10,000.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Based on the information given we were told that Martha does not recognize gain or loss on the distribution and takes a:
Basis in the cash of $40,000 which is TRUE because we were told that MMM distributes $40,000 cash to Martha
Basis in the receivables of $10,000 which is TRUE because we were told that she has an outside basis of $50,000 with distributed cash of $40,000 and accrual-basis accounts receivable of $20,000. Therefore the basis in the receivable of $10,000 is calculated as:
Cash $40,000 + Account receivable $20,000=$60,000
Hence,
$60,000- Outside basis $50,000
=$10,000 Basis in the receivable
Farmers in developing countries claim that the U.S. government, through farm subsidies, is responsible for the artificially low global price of wheat. Because the U.S. government buys whatever wheat American farmers are unable to sell on the open market, American farmers have no incentive to modulate the size of their crops according to the needs of the global market. As a result, American farmers routinely produce more wheat than the global market can absorb and the global price of wheat is kept low. Without these subsidies, the farmers in developing economies claim, American farmers would produce only the amount of wheat that they could sell on the open market and the global price of wheat would rise.
Which of the following, if true, most weakens the claims of the farmers in developing countries regarding the price of wheat?
(A) Wheat that is not processed for consumption is often used for certain industrial applications.
(B) Non-governmental buyers of wheat and wheat products are able to predict how much wheat they will need several years in advance.
(C) The U.S. government offers similar subsidies to soybean farmers, though the global price of soybeans is significantly higher than that of wheat.
(D) Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are likely to produce more wheat if the United States were to reduce its output.
(E) The price of sorghum, a crop for which the U.S. government offers no subsidies, is lower than that of wheat.
Answer:
Correct Answer:
(D) Other countries, such as Canada and Russia, are likely to produce more wheat if the United States were to reduce its output.
Explanation:
The farmers narrative on the reason on why the price of wheat on the global market is low is justified due to their reason. Unfortunately, that logic would greatly be weaken if the farmers in United States reduces their output while farmers in other countries such as Canada and Russia increases their own output due to incentives from their governments.
This action would still lead to the global price of wheat continually being low.

Mountain Gear has been using the same machines to make its name brand clothing for the last five years. A cost efficiency consultant has suggested that production costs may be reduced by purchasing more technologically advanced machinery. The old machines cost the company $360,000. The old machines presently have a book value of $136,000 and a market value of $28,000. They are expected to have a five-year remaining life and zero salvage value. The new machines would cost the company $260,000 and have operating expenses of $19,000 a year. The new machines are expected to have a five-year useful life and no salvage value. The operating expenses associated with the old machines are $46,000 a year. The new machines are expected to increase quality, justifying a price increase, and thereby increasing sales revenue by $26,000 a year. Select the true statement.
A. The company will be $44,000 better off over the 5-year period if it replaces the old equipment.
B. The company will be $72,000 better off over the 5-year period if it keeps the old equipment.
C. The company will be $33,000 better off over the 5-year period if it replaces the old equipment.
D. The company will be $28,000 better off over the 5-year period if it replaces the old equipment.
Answer:
C. The company will be $33,000 better off over the 5-year period if it replaces the old equipment.
Explanation:
keep old machine:
operating expenses = $46,000 x 5 = $230,000
new machine:
purchase cost $260,000 - $28,000 = $232,000
operating expenses = $19,000 x 5 = $95,000
increase in revenue $26,000 x 5 = $130,000
if new machine is purchased, operating costs decrease by $135,000, revenues increase by $130,000, but investment outflows increase by $232,000 ⇒ $135,000 + $130,000 - $232,000 = $33,000

A multiple-channel queuing system with a Poisson arrival rate and exponential service time has an average arrival rate of four customers per hour and an average service time of 18 minutes per customer. The minimum number of servers required to avoid an overloaded system is
Answer:
1.2
Explanation:
The computation of the minimum number of servers required to avoid an overloaded system is shown below:-
Average service time = Average service time ÷ number of minutes in a hour
18 min = 18 ÷ 60 per hr
= 0.3 hr per customer
Now for four customers, it would be
min servers = 4 × 0.3

Labor standards were 7.1 hours per completed unit at a standard rate of $12.75 per hour. Round your answer to the nearest cent. The direct labor time variance is a.$5,625.46 unfavorable b.$5,625.46 favorable c.$11,222.55 unfavorable d.$11,222.55 favorable
Answer:
$11,220 Unfavorable
Explanation:
As we know that:
Labor Time Variance = Standard rate per hour * (Standard time for actual output - Actual time worked)
Here,
Standard rate per hour= 12.75$
Standard time for actual units = 978 units * 7.1 hour per unit = 6,944 Hours
Actual hours worked are 7,824 hours
By putting the above values, we have:
Labour time variance = $12.75 * (6,944 - 7,824) = $11,220 Unfavorable
