A workstation must produce 200 units an hour. It takes 45 minutes to receive the necessary material for production from the previous workstation. Output is moved between workstations in containers holding 30 units. If the process uses a safety factor of 20%, then the number of kanbans that should be circulating between this workstation and the previous workstation is: Group of answer choices
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
Caroline is an artist. She purchases canvas, paints, brushes, and accessories for $75. She sells one of her original paintings to an art gallery for $1,500, even though an art lover would pay $4,500 for that painting. How much value does Caroline add

An insured's disability income policy includes an additional monthly benefit rider. For how many years can the insured expect to receive payment from the insurer before Social Security benefits begin?
Answer:
1 Year

Hence, the insured expect to receive payment from the insurer for ONE YEAR before Social Security benefits begin.

A tenant’s broker knows that his client (the tenant) has recently lost his job and that his financial situation is less than perfect. The tenant is interested in a landlord’s property but the rent is so high the broker does not think the tenant would be able to afford it for very long. Can the broker tell the landlord about the tenant’s financial situation?
Answer:
Yess, the broker tell the landlord about the financial situation of the tenant.
Explanation:
The reason is that the broker acts as an agent and its agent's fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its principle. The duty of care owed by the agents to principle must not be breached because the breach of duty of care would affect the principle in the form of financial or non financial loss or losses. As the tenant is financially strugling to meet his both ends and that the rent is significantly high. The chances exist that the tenant will not be able to pay rentals in the near future which will affect the landlord. Hence the broker must tell the landlord about the tenant's financial position.

Retained earnings = 153413 + 412331 + 7822 - ( 65314+ 178334+162000)
Retained earnings = $167 ,918
Cathy, age 16, buys a 1973 Chevy Camaro from Mark, age 23, for $400. Cathy's indulgent parents, who give her everything she wants, loaned her the money for the car. The reason for Cathy's purchase is that all her friends have cars and she feels left out without one. One week after buying the car, however, Cathy changes her mind and tells Mark that she wants to disaffirm the contract. When Mark comes to pick up the car and give Cathy her money, Cathy changes her mind again, telling Mark, "I'll stick by the deal." However, when Cathy's parents gave her a new car for her 17th birthday, she finally decides to disaffirm once again. Which of the following is correct?
A. Cathy can still disaffirm.
B. Cathy cannot disaffirm because she ratified the contract by saying "I'll stick by the deal."
C. Cathy cannot disaffirm because we have a sale of goods and Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code says that 16 is the age of contractual capacity.
D. Cathy cannot disaffirm because the car is a necessary.
Answer:
A. Cathy can still disaffirm.
Explanation:
Since Cathy is a minor, she shouldn't engage in contracts unless they involve basic necessities, e.g. food or shelter, and she can disaffirm a contract anytime before she reaches her 18th birthday. This is the reason why generally sellers require the parents to sign or give their consent to the contracts signed by minors.
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

When the government pursued a "tight money" policy during the Great Depression, it caused aggregate demand to decrease because it: Choose one: A. reduced consumer spending and investment spending. B. caused tax rates to decrease. C. led to very high rates of inflation, which eroded household spending. D. caused a rapid decline in exports to other countries. E. led to an increase in
Answer:
A). Reduced consumer spending and investment spending.
Explanation:
'Tight money' policy is elucidated as the contractionary monetary policy adopted by central banks to decrease the money supply in the market which helps in reducing consumer spending and curb inflation in the economy.
As per the question, when the government adopted this 'tight money' policy during the Great Depression, it led to 'a reduction in consumer spending as well as a reduction in spending on investment.' It led to the worsening downturn of the economy as this steep fall in consumer spending decreased the demand significantly, caused major unemployment, and led millions of investors to take their money back, and eventually, it led to the longest-running recession in the modern history. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
Since the seller often has utilized the property for a portion of the year in which the transaction is being made, certain costs associated with the property will be prorated at the closing. All of the following items are subject to being prorated EXCEPT:_________.
A) Broker commission
B) Prepaid rent
C) Property tax
D) Mortgage interest
Answer:
A) Broker commission
Explanation:
-Broker commission is the amount of money that the broker charges for selling a property.
-Prepaid rent is an amount of money paid in advance when you move into a new house.
-Property tax are the taxes you have to pay when you have a real state.
-Mortgage interest in the interest you have to pay on a loan used to buy a property.
According to this, the answer is that all the items are subject to being prorated except broker comission because this is amount you have to pay to the broker for the job done and it is not a cost associated to the property and because of that it can't be prorated.
The other options are not right because those are costs that are associated to the property and because of that, they are prorated at the closing as the ownership is passed to someone else and that person would be responsible for the costs from that point.
Suppose that the demand for picture frames is highly inelastic, and the supply of picture frames is highly elastic. A tax of $1 per frame levied on picture frames will decrease the effective price received by sellers of picture frames by
Answer:
The decrease in the effective price received by sellers is between $0.51 and $1.
Explanation:
Given the demand for picture = Inelastic
The supply of picture frames = highly elastic
Levied tax on picutre frames = $1
It is given that the demand for the frames is highly inelastic therefore the response of the buyer will be less. That means the proportionate change in demand will be lower than the proportionate change in the price of a commodity. Thus, the answer will be between $0.50 and $1.

Jonathan is a blind widower whose home is valued at $110,000. He is homesteaded and under 65. His School taxes are 10.23 mils, his county taxes 6.789 mils, and his city taxes are 8.78 mils. What are his annual taxes?
Answer:
Jonathan's taxes depend on which state he lives in. Generally, widowers (male spouses who lost their wife while still married) are eligible for a homestead exemption, but the amount varies depending on the state.
For example, if Jonathan lives in Florida, the homestead exemption is up to the first $50,000, but in Texas it only includes the first $25,000.
Assuming that Jonathan lives in Florida, he can use his homestead exemption to reduce both his city and county taxes by $50,000:
city taxes = [($110,000 - $50,000) / $1,000] x 8.78 = $526.80county taxes = [($110,000 - $50,000) / $1,000] x 6.789 = $407.34the homestead exemption is reduced by half for school taxes:
school taxes = [($110,000 - $25,000) / $1,000] x 10.23 = $869.55total real estate taxes = $1,803.69
After getting a raise at work, Jennie now regularly buys steak instead of hamburger. Based on this behavior, we can assume: Multiple Choice steak is a normal good, and hamburger is an inferior good for Jennie. steak is an inferior good, and hamburger is a normal good for Jennie. steak and hamburger are complementary goods for Jennie. steak and hamburger are normal goods for Jennie.
Answer:
Steak is a normal good, and hamburger is an inferior good for Jennie
Explanation:
Based on this behavior, we can assume steak is a normal good, and hamburger is an inferior good for Jennie. That is because a normal good is any good who's demand increases when there is a rise in the consumers' income, while an inferior good sees decreased demand due to a rise in income. Therefore, since Jenna buys more (increased demand) steak and less (decreased demand) hamburger due to her increased income this means that steak is a normal good, and hamburger is an inferior good for Jennie
