Answer:

Please see the details

Explanation:

The effects of impending labor shortage might effect

a) Selection and Management are getting tougher with lack of active candidates seeking for job or lack of skilled candidates attending the placement process. There is lack of required skills for the job role and hence this subsection needs to send job proposals to even passive job candidates at competitive prices and incentives to attract them towards the company.

b) Training and Career Development is facing reduced number of applicants and they need to put in a lot of effort in order to make the selected candidates learn the required skills suitable for the job. This department is facing a lot of issues as the time and cost invested in training is increasing with increasing labor shortage.

c) Compensation and Benefits is to be  prepared to pay more to attract and retain employees. Increased compensation is a fact of life in the early phase. By being prepared, managers can ensure that they are not the last to increase compensation and thus end up with the worst of the labor shortage. For example: it's either the worst candidates or no candidates at all.

 The ways that might develop joint, cooperative programs to avert a labor shortage is by :

a) Increasing the number of applicants

 - Influencing and expanding the gate keeping institution ( Schools

 and training's to expand the production of graduates)

b) Maintain the supply by reducing the flow of workers out of the firm

- Reducing absenteeism  

- Efforts to reduce voluntary quits by improving sources of  

dissatisfaction  

c) Reducing Labor demand and the overall need for a new workers

- Using contingent workers to meet peak demand,

Ted is installing lighting in a new block of 12 apartments. He will need 60 metres of cable for each apartment. Each new spool h
lina2011 [118]
The total length of cable that is needed for the installation of the lighting in the new apartments is calculated by multiplying the number of apartments and the length of cable needed for each apartment. The calculation is shown below.
    L = (12 apartments)(60 m/apartment) = 720 meters of cable

As given in the problem, each spool holds 100 meters of cable. The number of spools needed is therefore calculated by dividing the total length by the length of cable per spool as shown below.
    S = (720 meters of cable) / (100 meters/spool)
     S = 7.20 spools

Hence, the smallest number of new spools that Ted will need for this job is equal to 8 spools.

The Work in Process Inventory account had a beginning balance of $16,200 on April 1. During April, the cost of direct materials
zhenek [66]

Answer:

$28,700

Explanation:

We know that

Ending work in process inventory = Opening work in process inventory + total manufacturing cost - cost of finished goods manufactured

where,

Total manufacturing cost = cost of direct materials used + direct labor cost + overhead  cost

= $408,000 + $56,000 + $72,000

= $536,000

So, the ending work in process inventory would be

= $16,200 + $536,000 - $523,500

= $28,700

Mumz [18]

Question

Ellis Television makes and sells portable televisions. Each television regularly sells for $210. The following cost data per television is based on a full capacity of 10,000 televisions produced each period.

Direct material - $80

Direct Labour  -$60    

Manufacturing overhead(70% variable, 30% unavoidable fixed cos)  -$40

A special order has been received by Ellis for a sale of 2,000 televisions to an overseas customer. The only selling costs that would be incurred on this order would be $6 per television for shipping. Ellis is now selling 6,000 televisions through regular channels each period. What should be the minimum selling price per television in negotiating a price for this special order?

Answer:

The minimum selling price = $174.

Explanation:

The minimum selling price to be acceptable for the special order be the same as the relevant variable cost of producing a unit.

The relevant variable cost = marginal cost of a unit

Marginal cost = Direct material  + Direct labour + Variable manufacturing overhead + shipping cost

Marginal cost =  80 + 60 + (70%× 40) + 6

                      = 174

The minimum selling price = $174.

Note : The 30% balance of manufacturing overhead which represents unavoidable fixed costs is irrelevant for this decision. These are costs that would be incurred either way whether or not the special order is accepted.
