...CHAPTER 1 QUESTIONS 1. The function of cost accounting is to provide the cost accounting information that is the basis for planning and controlling current and future operations. It provides the cost figures and analyses that management needs in order to find the most efficient methods of operating, achieving control of costs, and determining selling prices. 2. Originally issued for companies marketing products in Europe, a set of international standards for quality management, known as the ISO 9000 family, was designed by the International Organization for Standardization. Obtaining ISO 9000 is important because many companies will only contract with ISO 9000 suppliers. 3. Manufacturers convert purchased materials into finished goods by using labor, technology, and facilities. Merchandisers purchase completed products for resale. Service businesses or agencies sell or provide services rather than products. 4. A manufacturer differs from a merchandiser in these ways: a. The merchandiser buys items to sell while the manufacturing business must make the items it markets. b. Usually the manufacturer has a greater investment in physical facilities. c. The manufacturer will incur some costs peculiar to this type of industry, such as machine maintenance, materials handling, and inspection of manufactured goods. The two types of operations are similar in that they are both concerned with purchasing, storing, and selling goods;...

Productivity Productivity is a measure of the rate at which outputs of goods and services are produced per unit of input (labor, capital, raw materials, etc.). It is calculated as the ratio of the amount of outputs produced to some measure of the amount of input used. Productivity = Quantity of goods and services produced Amount of resources used As the equation indicates, there are two variables in measuring productivity- the amount of production and amount of resources used. Productivity varies with the amount of production relative to the amount of resources used. Productivity can be increased in several ways, which Are given below here- 1. Increase production using the same or a smaller amount of resources. 2. Reduce the amount of resources used while keeping the same production or increasing it. 3. Allow the amount of resources used to increase c production increases more. 4. Allow production to decrease as long as...

...Aim and purpose The aim of this unit is to introduce learners to recruitment and the importance of ensuring that the best people are selected to work in organisations. Learners will study selection and recruitment techniques and will set up, and take part in, a selection interview. Unit introduction Recruiting the right people is the key to the success of many organisations. These organisations ensure that the processes and procedures involved in recruitment and selection meet their needs and are legal. In this unit, learners will develop an understanding of the impact of the regulatory framework on the recruitment process. Potential applicants may decide to apply for a post based on the quality of information that they receive. Details of the post will usually be the first communication they have with the organisation. It is important that the organisation makes a good first impression on potential applicants to ensure that they attract sufficient applicants of the right calibre. Learners will develop their knowledge of the types of documentation used in an interview process. A structured and planned selection procedure is crucial to the success of the selection process. The impression a business makes may determine an applicant’s decision to accept an offer of appointment. Staff conducting the interview will also be forming their impressions of the applicant. It is important that interviewers are well organised and prepared. They will need to be familiar with the...

...CHAPTER 1 INTERCORPORATE ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS IN OTHER ENTITIES ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q1-1 Complex organizational structures often result when companies do business in a complex business environment. New subsidiaries or other entities may be formed for purposes such as extending operations into foreign countries, seeking to protect existing assets from risks associated with entry into new product lines, separating activities that fall under regulatory controls, and reducing taxes by separating certain types of operations. Q1-2 The split-off and spin-off result in the same reduction of reported assets and liabilities. Only the stockholders’ equity accounts of the company are different. The number of shares outstanding remains unchanged in the case of a spin-off and retained earnings or paid-in capital is reduced. Shares of the parent are exchanged for shares of the subsidiary in a split-off, thereby reducing the outstanding shares of the parent company. Q1-3 The management of Enron appears to have used special-purpose entities to avoid reporting debt on its balance sheet and to create fictional transactions that resulted in reported income. It also transferred bad loans and investments to special-purpose entities to avoid recognizing losses in...

...Cobb–Douglas Production Functions 1 mathematical tricks • the derivative of αxβ with respect to x is αβxβ−1 • xα xβ = xα+β (for any α and β) • 1 xα = x−α • if m = nB , then n = m1/B 2 the production function A production function y = f (x1 , x2 ) is a Cobb–Douglas production function if it can be written in the form y = Axa xb 1 2 (1) where A, a and b are positive constants. So the partial derivatives of a Cobb–Douglas production function are : M P1 = M P2 = ∂y = aAxa−1 xb 1 2 ∂x1 (2) ∂y = bAxa xb−1 (3) 1 2 ∂x2 The absolute value of the slope of an isoquant is the technical rate of substitution, or T RS. This T RS equals M P1 /M P2 so that (2) and (3) imply that T RS = M P1 ax1 = M P2 bx2 1 (4) Equations (2) and (3) imply that the Cobb–Douglas technology is monotonic, since both partial derivatives are positive. Equation (4) demonstrates the technology is convex, since the (absolute value) of the T RS falls as x1 increases and x2 decreases. 3 returns to scale Suppose that all inputs are scaled up by some factor t. The new level of output is (5) f (tx1 , tx2 ) = A(tx1 )a (tx2 )b = ta+b Axa xb 1 2 Notice from equation (5) that f (tx1 , tx2 ) = ta+b f (x1 , x2 ). We have increasing returns to scale if f (tx1 , tx2 ) > tf (x1 , x2 ) whenever t > 1. So here we have increasing returns to scale if ta+b > t, which is the same thing as a + b > 1. Similarly, decreasing returns to scale arise if f (tx1 , tx2 ) < tf (x1 , x2 ) whenever t > 1. Here...

Most production issues have been solved by a linear programming method, also performed here, and a model of linear programming of economic parameters in re- engineering of small and medium enterprises, for their greater efficiency, is presented. Key words: linear programming, re-engineering, economic parameters, model. 1.0. INTRODUCTION Linear programming is a mathematical method for selecting an optimal solution among larger number of possible solutions. In mathematical terms, linear programming is a mathematical analysis of optimum problem. These are mathematical methods used for seeking the maximum (or minimum) value of a linear function, with previously given limits expressed by a system of linear equations and inequalities. 31 2.
