Analyse two ways in which employee innovation andcreativity can be developed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

° Ask for ideas from employees

° Provide guidance to employees

Explanation:

° Ask for ideas from employees. For an organization that wants to develop innovation and creativity of its employees, such must come up with an avenue for employees to express their ideas and then create a process internally for submission. The management may allocate time frame for such idea generation and submission; while also supporting it with incentive so that people can think beyond the norm.

° Provide guidance to employee. Generally, virtually everyone can develop an idea, however, the skills needed to making it come to reality is not common to most people. In terms of providing guidance, an innovation and creativity champion could be appointed, who will give support, encouragement, advise and directions to other employees who have developed certain ideas. The aim here is not just to develop an idea, but getting support with the right skills to getting the ideas materialized.

Opportunity costs may be viewed only in terms of financial resources.a) trueb) false

Answers

Answer:

b) false

Explanation:

Opportunity costs can also be viewed in terms of personal preferences or satisfaction. E.g. a person could legally work all day and all night. Of course no one can actually work that much, but it is possible to work between 16 - 18 hours per day. But by doing so, you will have to lose certain personal benefits like spending time with your family, girl/boy friend, doing things that entertain you, or even going to church if you are very religious (and many other things). People value their personal activities in a different way, and will decide what to do depending on which activity they value most.

A company offers ID theft protection using leads obtained from client banks. Three employees work 40 hours a week on the leads, at a pay rate of $19 per hour per employee. Each employee identifies an average of 4,100 potential leads a week from a list of 5,000. An average of 5 percent of potential leads actually sign up for the service, paying a one-time fee of $70. Material costs are $1,400 per week, and overhead costs are $9,300 per week.
Calculate the multifactor productivity for this operation in fees generated per dollar of input. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

3.32

Explanation:

The computation of the multifactor productivity is shown below:

As we know that

Multifactor productivity = Output ÷ Input

where,

Output = (possible leads × no of workers × fee × Conversion percentage)

= 4100 × 3 × 70 × 5%

= $43050

And,

Input is

= Labor cost + Material cost + Overhead cost

where,

Labor cost = 3 × 40 × 19

= $2,280

Material cost = $1,400

And,  

Overhead cost = $9,300

So,

Input = $2,280 + $1,400 + $9,300

= $12,980

Now

Multifactor productivity is

= $43,050 ÷ $12,980

= 3.32

The flow rate of customers at a state fair is 100 per hour. The fair is open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. How many customers come through the fair during that time?

Answers

Answer:

1,200 customers

Explanation:

Calculation for how many customers come through the fair during that time

Based on the information given about the time the fair is open, we were told that they do open from 8am in the morning to 8pm in the night which means that 8am to 8pm will give us 12 hours

Now let calculate for the numbers of customers that come through the fair during that time Using this formula

Numbers of customers =Flow rate of customers per hr×Numbers of hours

Let plug in the formula

Numbers of customers =100 customers per hr x 12 hrs

Numbers of customers == 1,200 customers

Therefore the numbers of customers that come through the fair during that time will be 1,200 customers.

A new furnace for your small factory will cost $45,000 and a year to install, will require ongoing maintenance expenditures of $1,400 a year. But it is far more fuel-efficient than your old furnace and will reduce your consumption of heating oil by 4,200 gallons per year. Heating oil this year will cost $2 a gallon; the price per gallon is expected to increase by $0.50 a year for the next 3 years and then to stabilize for the foreseeable future. The furnace will last for 20 years, at which point it will need to be replaced and will have no salvage value. The discount rate is 12%.a. What is the net present value of the investment in the furnace?b. What is the IRR? (Do not round intermediate calculations.c. What is the payback period? (Do not round intermediate calculations.d. What is the equivalent annual cost of the furnace? (Do not round intermediate calculations.e. What is the equivalent annual savings derived from the furnace?f. Compare the PV of the difference between the equivalent annual cost and savings to your answer to part (a). Are the two measures the same or is one larger?

Answers

Answer:

a) NPV = $43,874.65

b) IRR = 24.37%

c) payback period = 5.33 years

d) equivalent annual cost = $6,024.55

e) equivalent annual savings = $13,298.61

f) since the NPV is positive, the equivalent annual savings must be higher than the equivalent annual costs

Explanation:

initial outlay year 0 = -$45,000

net savings year 1 = -$1,400 + (4,200 x $2) = $7,000

net savings year 2 = -$1,400 + (4,200 x $2.50) = $9,100

net savings year 3 = -$1,400 + (4,200 x $3) = $11,200

net savings years 4 - 20 = -$1,400 + (4,200 x $3.50) = $13,300

discount rate = 12%

using a financial calculator:

NPV = $43,874.65

IRR = 24.37%

payback period = 5.33 years

equivalent annual cost = (present value of costs x 12%) / / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻ⁿ] =[($45,000 + $10,457.22) x 12%] / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻ⁿ] = $6,654.87 / 0.89633 = $7,424.57

equivalent annual savings = (present value of savings x 12%) / / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻ⁿ] = ($99,332.87 x 12%) / / [1 - (1 + 12%)⁻ⁿ] = $11,919.94 / 0.89633 = $13,298.61

In the month of June, Bedford Company sold 350 widgets. The average sales price was $34. During the month, fixed costs were $6,320 and variable costs were 40% of sales. Instructions:A.

What would be the sales dollars and number of units sold if Bedford Company wishes to have a target profit of $4,000?

Answers

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

In June, Bedford Company sold 350 widgets. The average sales price was $34. During the month, fixed costs were $6,320 and variable costs were 40% of sales.

First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:

Unitary variable cost= 34*0.4= $13.6

Now, we can determine the contribution margin per unit and the contribution margin ratio:

contribution margin per unit= selling price - unitary variable cost

contribution margin per unit= 34 - 13.6= $20.4

contribution margin ratio= contribution margin per unit/selling price

contribution margin ratio= 20.4/34

contribution margin ratio= 0.6

To calculate the break-even point in units and dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 6,320/20.4

Break-even point in units= 310 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 6,320/0.6

Break-even point (dollars)= $10,533

To calculate the margin of safety, we will use the following formula:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 350*34 - 10,533

Margin of safety= $1,367

Finally, the desired profit is $4,000:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units=  (6,320 + 4,000) / 20.4

Break-even point in units= 506 units

Break-even point (dollars)= (fixed costs + desired profit)/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 10,320/0.6

Break-even point (dollars)= $17,200

The Mugger sells three types of mugs, flowers, dogs, and sports. The following information is available: Flowers Dogs Sports Total Sales Volume 25,000 100,000 50,000Selling Price $20 $25 $10Variable cost per unit 10 20 6Total fixed costs $500,000 REQUIRED: 1. What is the breakeven point for The Mugger? 2. Would you recommend promoting the change in product mix to 4 to 2 to 1 of flower mugs, dog mugs, and sports mugs? Why?

Answers

Answer:

See answer below

Explanation:

1. The break even point for flowers = Fixed costs / Contribution margin

Where contribution margin = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

= $500,000 / ($20 - $10)

= $500,000 / $10

= 50,000 units

Therefore,

Break even point for the Mugger is 50,000 units.

Break even points for Dogs = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution margin

= $500,000 / ($25 -$20)

= $500,000 / $5

= 100,000 units

Break even points Sports = Fixed costs / Contribution margin

= $500,000 / ($10 - $6)

= $500,000 / $4

= 125,000 units

2. I can recommend that the mugger should change its product mix from 1:4:2 (Flowers, dogs, sports) to 4:2:1 (Flowers , dogs , sports)

• Because there is an increase in the break even points for each of the mugger.

If a firm is a price taker in both the labor market and the output market, it will:______.a. exceeds the marginal revenue product of labor.b. equals the marginal revenue product of labor.c. is less than the marginal revenue product of labor.d. equals the marginal physical product of labor.

Answers

Answer:

(C)

Explanation:

First, what does it mean for a firm to be a price-taker and then in 2 market places?

If a firm is a price-taker, this means that the firm accepts the price presented by the other group. The other group in this case is either laborers (labor market) or customers/other firms (output market).

A firm that is a price-taker does not set or use its own desired price and this is usually for business reasons.

The labor market is a resource market; since labor is one of the resource inputs or factors used in production.

A price-taker firm in the labor market is one that accepts the price at which labor(ers) chooses to work. This price could be lower or higher than what the firm is willing and able to pay.

The output market is the market for buying and selling of finished or semi-finished goods/products. It is the final market; where manufactured goods are made available to their various consumers.

A price-taker firm in the output market is one that accepts the price set by other firms in the industry or the price agreed upon by consumers. Again, this price could be higher or lower than the price at which the producer is willing to give the product away.

Now, what happens to the income statistics of firm that is a price-taker in both the labor market and the output market?

The firm will be running on less than the marginal revenue product of labour.

Two countries can gain from specialization and trade as long as they have different opportunity costs in the production of some goods.a) trueb) false

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

the country with the lower opportunity cost in producing a good is more efficient in production and should specialise in production of that good. While the country with the higher opportunity cost is inefficient in the production of the good and should import from the country with the lower opportunity cost.

Let's illustrate with an example

Scenario A

Country X's opportunity cost in the production of good A = 12 units of B

Country Y's opportunity cost in the production of good A = 2 units of B

Country Y is more efficient and should specialise in the production of good A

Scenario B

Country X's opportunity cost in the production of good A = 12 units of B

Country Y's opportunity cost in the production of good A = 12 units of B

Both countries have the same opportunity cost, so, we can't decide which country should specialise
