Here's the completed question.
Question: The company would like to reduce the double and sometimes triple handling of items. How can this goal be achieved? Are there alternative solutions which might also be effective?
Answer:
1. Using the Just in Time Management inventory technique.
2. Using automated inventory processing systems, changing physical layout of warehouse.
Explanation:
1. The Just in time method would allow Hawkins Supply company to quickly process its inventory by adopting a principle of processing smaller batches with reduced factory space. Doing so would minimise the worries about expired inventory since the inventory isn't excessive.
2. There are automated softwares such as the KANBAN system that would automated the process, requiring lesser use receipts to track inventories. Another alternative is to restructure the warehouse by making provision for racks that could be numbered serially to easily find desired inventory.

Blake eats two bags of potato chips each day. Blake's hourly wage increases from $8 to $15, and he decides to stop eating generic chips and instead eats a name brand potato chip. Use the midpoint method to calculate Blake's income elasticity of demand for generic potato chips Round your answer to 2 decimal places.The good isa. a normal good and income-elasticb. a normal good and income-inelasticc. an inferior good
Answer:
The correct answer is option (c) good is an inferior good.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
Blake's hourly wage increases form = $8 to $15
Now,
By using the midpoint method we compute Blake's income elasticity of demand for generic potato chips which is given below:
Income elasticity of demand =(Y₁ +Y₂)/(Q₁+Q₂) * (Q₂-Q₁)/ (Y₁ - Y₂)
Thus,
Y₁ =8
Y₂ = 15
Q₁ = 2
Q₂ = 0
So,
Income Ed =23/2x - 2/7
= -46/14
=- 3.28
Therefore, the increase in income decreases demand of generic potato chips. this shows negative income effect which implies that good is inferior in nature.
Answer:
Price elasticity= 2.875
The good is an inferior good
Explanation:
Elasticity of demand is defined as the sensitivity of quantity demanded to changes in price of a particular commodity.
Midpoint method is used to determine elasticity between two prices. Change in quantity and price are divided by the average of each.
Price elasticity= {Q1 ÷ (Q2 + Q1)/2} ÷ {P1 ÷ (P1 + P2)/2}
Average quantity = (2 + 0) ÷ 2= 1
Average price= (8 + 15) ÷ 2 = $11.5
Price elasticity= (2 ÷ 1) ÷ (8 ÷ 11.5)
Price elasticity= 2 ÷ 0.6957 = 2.875
The good is an inferior good
An inferior good is one that demand falls as income of the buyer increases.
In this case an increase in income from $8 to $15 resulted in a fall in demand from 2 to 0

The colonial government never made any sincere attempt to estimate India's National and per capita income. However some individual attempts were made to measure such incomes. Which among those individual attempts of estimates of national income and per capita income was considered very significant?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Among those individual attempts of estimates of national income and per capita income that were considered very significant to estimate India's National and per capita income in the colonial government, are the following.
Those important individual attempts belong to people like William Digby, Findlay Shirras, Dadabhai Naoroji, R.C. Desai, and VKVR Rao. From the British perspective, there was no real interest in the measurement of this economic indicator because what was important for the British government was to fulfill its economic and political interests such as the exploitation of natural resources and raw materials that were sent to England to be transformed in the fabrics and industries of London. The development or growth of India was never a goal.
Carmax is a national chain that sells used cars. the likely impact of its arrival in the market would be to _____. everything else held constant, this would likely _____ the price of used cars.
Answer:
1. shift the supply of used cars to the right
2. lower
Explanation:
1. With carmax's arrival in the market this has caused the number of sellers to increase thereby shifting the supply curve to the right. An increase in the number of sellers increases the quantity supplied at each price.
2. Since the supply of used cars have increased and demand remains the same, there will be a surplus in the market for used cars resulting in lowered prices of used cars.
Both the Onus ferry operator in the monopoly market and each of the Yuri ferry operators in the perfectly competitive market will want to produce at the point that the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost. Explain in detail the two reasons that the monopoly’s marginal revenue will always be less than its price while the marginal revenue in the perfectly competitive market will always be equal to the market price.
Answer:
The overview of the given statement is described in the explanation segment below.
Explanation:
Monopoly Market:
The demand curve or market price towards the firm was indeed sloping downhill. MR is also below P and AR. Therefore, when earnings are maximized, whereby MR = MC has been used. Price is therefore above MR (Marginal Revenue).Perfectly Competitive Market:
The price shall be calculated whenever market forces are equivalent. The firm seems to be the fixed price and therefore the individual company market price becomes horizontal.Thus,
⇒ [tex]AR=P =MR[/tex]
Hence,
⇒ [tex]P = MR[/tex]
Landon jewelers uses the perpetual inventory system. on april 2, landon sold merchandise with a cost of $2,500 for $7,000 to a customer on account with terms of 3/15, n/30. the journal entry to record the cost of goods sold would be:
Answer:
Dr Cash $6,790
Dr Sales discount $210
Cr Accounts Receivable $7,000
Explanation:
Cost of goods sold by Landon Jewelers is $7,000
The cost is subject to 3/15, n/30 meaning that 3% will discount will be applicable if payment is made in 15 days. Where the balance is not paid within 15 days, it must however be paid within 30 days.
Since payment was made to Landon Jewelers within the 15 days grace, 3% deduction will be applicable to the payment.
Therefore Sales discount would be ;
= $7,000 × 3%
=$210
Balance paid in cash would be;
=$7,000 - $210
=$6,790
Journal entry for cost of goods sold would be;
Dr Cash $6,790
Dr Sales discount $210
Cr Accounts Receivable $7,000
Sales discount is an expense hence debited while the whole amount is credited to accounts receivable.
Where do insurance companies get the money to pay for losses suffered by their customers?
Answer:
Through the Insured premium paid
Explanation:
Insurance is a form of contract where the insureds are indemnified by the insurer against potential future losses.

Only 3 days after the attacks of 9-11, Northwestern Mutual began providing death benefits to surviving families of the first responders who were killed in the line of duty, although official death certificates had not yet been issued. Other insurance companies took months to a full year to process similar claims for their customers. In this example, Northwestern Mutual demonstrated the service quality of _____________, fill in the blank, to its customers.
Answer:
Empathy
Explanation:
Empathy is the ability of a person of business entity to understand the thoughts, feelings, and emotions of their customers. It is the ability to personalise the customer's situation.
This makes the business go the extra mile in solving the customer's problem.
In this scenario Northwestern mutual felt the pain and understood the financial needs of the families of first responders during the 9-11 attack.
So without official death certificates they paid death benefits only 3 days after the attacks.
Other insurance companies however did not empathise with their customers and only paid death benefits some months to a year.
When Coca-Cola purchased first a part and then all of Honest Tea, what would have been appropriate ways to help this change be successful? Select all that apply. A: To the extent that Honest Tea began using Coca-Cola's payroll and expense reimbursement systems, train employees on these systems. B: Conduct team-building exercises to help groups of employees from Coca-Cola and Honest Tea communicate effectively and address conflict. C: Survey Honest Tea employees to identify sources of anxiety and conflict related to the acquisition. D: Use a change agent to freeze Honest Tea's very successful culture before Coca-Cola could have any impact.
Answer:
The most applicable choices in the order of importance are
C, B then A. Of course, they have to be applied at various stages of the acquisition.
Explanation:
C should have occurred (if possible) before the acquisition. Usually, when there is a major acquisition such as the one described above, it comes with good and bad tidings.
In some cases, especially one involving a large and efficient system like Coca-Cola, many positions become redundant.
In other cases, people are worried if their compensation will be affected. There are usually questions such as:
Will my compensation be reviewed upwards or, downwards?Will my insurance or 401K be affected adversely? e.t.c.Thus, executing a survey of Honest Teas' employees to identify such sources of anxiety and conflict related to the acquisition with the goal to address them constructively, will help the change to be successful.
Option B is one strategy that ought to have been executed upon the conclusion and official announcement of the acquisition exercise. This is the most crucial and maybe the most important part of the acquisition/takeover process.
This is true especially if there is going to be changes in management, communication styles, and the culture. Other benefits of team building excercises are, it increases and or improves:
ProductivityMoraleStaff Motivation andCommunication all of which are critical to the success of any organisation.Option C: On the balance of probability, it is expected that when a bigger company like Coca-Cola acquires a smaller one, the process comes with a lot of benefits. One of such benefits is the payroll upgrade.
After all is said and done, it will serve to boost the motivation and morale of the staff if Honest Tea began to use Coca-Cola's payroll which is likely to be more robust.
Because Cocal-cola is an older, more experience and more global company, it is more likely to have more efficient reimbursement systems. If these are inculcated into the Honest Tea process, with adequate training on how to use it, it will also serve to ensure homogeneity of systems and operations which is critical to the success of an acquisition.

You run a game-day shuttle service for parking services for the local ball club. Your total costs for different customer loads are 0: $27, 1: $30, 2: $32, 3: $35, 4: $38, 5: $42, 6: $48, 7: $57, and 8: $68. a. For each customer load level beginning with 1, what is your average total cost? b. For each customer load level beginning with 1, what is your marginal cost? c. If you are compensated $9 per ride, what customer load would you want?
Answer and Explanation:
a and b. The average total cost and the marginal cost is shown below:
As we know that
Average cost is
= Total cost ÷ total number of customer loads
And, the Marginal cost is
= Additional total cost incurred for extra units generated
So based on this, the marginal cost and the average total cost are as follows
Customer load level Total cost Average cost Marginal cost
0 $27
1 $30 $30 ÷ 1 = 30 30 - 27 = 3
2 $32 $32 ÷ 2 = 16 32 - 30 = 2
3 $35 $35 ÷ 3 = 11.67 35 - 32 = 3
4 $38 $38 ÷ 4 = 9.5 38 - 35 = 3
5 $42 $42 ÷ 5 = 8.4 42 - 38 = 4
6 $48 $48 ÷ 6 = 8 48 - 42 = 6
7 $57 $57 ÷ 7 = 8.14 57 - 48 = 9
8 $68 $68 ÷ 8 = 8.5 68 - 57 = 11
c. Now the customer loan you want is
As we know that
Profit = Marginal revenue - marginal cost
And, as we can see that at marginal cost 9 we can load 7 customers so the 7 customers would be wanted
JohnBoy Industries has a cash balance of $54,000, accounts payable of $134,000, inventory of $184,000, accounts receivable of $219,000, notes payable of $129,000, and accrued wages and taxes of $41,500. How much net working capital does the firm need to fund?
Answer:Net working capital = $152,500
Explanation:
Net working capital = CA– CL
Where CA= Current Assets = Cash + Inventory + Accounts Receivable
and CL= Current Liabilities= Account payable + Notes payable + accrued wages and taxes
CA=$54, 000 + $184,000 + $ 219,000 =$457,000
Current liabilities = Account payable + Notes payable + accrued wages and taxes
CL = $134,000 + $129,000 + $41,500 = $304,500
Net working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities
Net working capital = $457,000 – $304,500= $152,500
Net working capital = $152,500
an increase in the velocity of money will lead to
Answer: an increase in money supply increases aggregate demand, which increases prices
Explanation: Hence, a very high inflation rate will also maximize the velocity of money, which will increase the inflation rate even further.
Money circulates more quickly when velocity of money increases , which indicates that there are more transactions between people. The degree of inflation is high when the velocity is high.
What is inflation?The rate at which prices increase over a specific time period is known as inflation. Inflation is often measured in broad terms, the general rise in prices or the rise in a nation's cost of living.
Demand-pull inflation, cost-push inflation, and built-in inflation are the three basic sources of inflation.
Demand-pull inflation describes circumstances in which there is not enough production of goods or services to meet demand, leading to an increase in their prices.
On the other side, cost-push inflation happens when firms are compelled to raise prices as a result of rising costs associated with producing goods and services.
When workers seek greater pay to keep up with rising living costs, built-in inflation—also known as a wage-price spiral—occurs. A self-reinforcing cycle of salary and price rises results from businesses increasing their pricing to cover their rising wage costs.

2. Lessack Auctioneers advertised an auction sale that was open to the public and was to be conducted with a reserve price of $150. Gordon attended the auction and bid $100 for a work of art that was worth much more. No higher bid, however, was made. Lessack refused to sell the item for $100 and withdrew the item from the sale. Gordon claimed that because he was the highest bidder, Lessack was required to sell the item to him. Was he correct? Explain
Answer:
No
Explanation:
There was a reserve on the item which means the seller refuses to sell for a price lower then a certain price.
No, Gordon's claim is not correct because if the reserve price is not met, the seller is under no obligation to sell the item to the highest bidder. As a result, some buyers dislike reserve prices because they encourage bids that may not be successful.
What are the advantages of an auction?Through competitive bidding, an auction generates fair market value, allowing you, the buyer, to make an informed purchasing decision with a seller who is eager to sell. The market value is determined by buyers. Auctions allow for a quick purchase and eliminate the need for lengthy negotiations.
If a minimum bid is not met by any of the bids present at an auction, the auctioneer may 'pass in the property, which means that it has not sold. If this occurs, the winning bidder is usually decided to invite to start negotiating with the seller to see if the sale can still be completed.

Construction of new homes decreases. This will cause the demand curve to shift ___________ for complimentary goods used to build the homes such as timber.
Answer:
to the left
Explanation:
When the construction of new homes decreases, the demand curve for complimentary goods used to build homes shift to the left as a result of a decrease in their demands.
The demand curve is a graph that shows the demand for a product in relation to the price of the product at a specific point in time. When the demand for a product increases, the curve shifts to the right, and when it decreases, the curve shifts to the left.
Complementary goods are goods that are required in conjunction with other goods or services. For example, timbers are required for buildings, hence, they timbers serve as complementary goods to buildings.
When the construction of new homes decreases, it means there will be less demands for timbers and as such, the demand curve will shift to the left.

Forrester Company is considering buying new equipment that would increase monthly fixed costs from $120,000 to $150,000 and would decrease the current variable costs of $70 by $10 per unit. The selling price of $100 is not expected to change. Forrester's current break-even sales are $400,000 and current break-even units are 4,000. If Forrester purchases this new equipment, the revised break-even point in dollars would be: $300,000. $400,000. $325,000. $500,000. $375,000.
Answer: $375,000
Explanation:
Given the following :
Selling price = $100
New variable cost per unit =$(70 - 10) = $60
New fixed cost = $150,000
Break-even point in dollars:
Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio
contribution Margin Ratio
[(selling price per unit - total variable cost per unit) /selling price per unit]
= [($100 - $60) / $100]
$40 / $100 = 0.4 = 40%
Break-even point in dollars:
$150,000 / 0.4 = $375,000
Woodsmith magazine gave instructions on how to build a pine cupboard. Lumber will be needed for two shelves 1134 inches long, two base sides 1112 inches long, and two door stiles 2918 inches long. Your lumber comes in 6 foot lengths. A. How many feet of lumber will you need? (Enter your fraction in lowest terms.)
Answer:
Hi there!
You'll need 860.67 feet of lumber.
Explanation:
First we calculate the needs of lumber in inches
Shelves: 2 x 1,134 = 2,268 inches
Base Sides: 2 x 1,112 = 2,224 inches
Door stiles: 2 x 2,918 = 5,836 inches
Total inches long of lumber needed:
2,268 + 2,224 + 5,836 = 10,328 inches
Then we convert the unit of measure from inches to feet:
One inch equals 0.08333 feet.
10,328 x 0.08333 = 860.67 feet

had an expected salvage value of $70000.
The life of the equipment was estimated to
be 6 years. The depreciable cost of the
equipment is
Answer:
The depreciable cost of the equipment is $400,000
Explanation:
In this question, we are tasked with calculating the depreciable cost of the equipment bought
To calculate this, we simply engage the use of a mathematical relation
Mathematically;
Depreciable cost = Original Cost - Salvage value
From the question, the original cost is $470,000
The salvage value = $70,000
Inputing these values into the equation, we have
Depreciable cost = $470,000 -$70,000 = $400,000
