Value-stream reporting with inventory decrease shorts manufacturing, inc., has implemented lean manufacturing in its kansas city plant as a pilot program. one of its value streams produces a family of small electric tools. the value-stream team managers were quite excited about the results, as some of their efforts to eliminate waste were proving to be effective. during the most recent three weeks, the following data pertaining to the electric tool value stream were collected: week l: demand = 110 units @ $55 beginning inventory = 5 units @ $20 ($5 materials and $15 conversion) production = 110 units using $400 of materials and $1,350 of conversion cost week 2: demand = 120 units @ $55 beginning inventory = 5 units @ $20 ($5 materials and $15 conversion) production = 110 units using $400 of materials and $1,350 of conversion cost week 3: demand = 110 units @ $55 beginning inventory = 0 production = 120 units using $500 of materials and $1,600 of conversion cost

calculate the average value-stream product cost for each week. if required, round your answers to the nearest cent. week week week

prepare a value-stream income statement for each week. assume that any increase in inventory is valued at average cost. if an amount is zero, enter "0".

Suppose your rich uncle gave you $50,000, which you plan to use for graduate school. you will make the investment now, you expect to earn an annual return of 6%, and you will make 4 equal annual withdrawals, beginning 1 year from today. under these conditions, how large would each withdrawal be so there would be no funds remaining in the account after the 4th?

The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town increased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price increase. some students suggest that the price increased because the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased. other students attribute the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to a recent increase in college student enrollment.1. the first group of students thinks the increase in the price of cheeseburgers is due to the fact that the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased. (what happened to demand and supply, shift to the right or left)2. the second group of students attributes the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to the increase in college student enrollment. (what happens to demand and supply, shift to the right or left)3. suppose that both of the events you analyzed above are partly responsible for the increase in the price of cheeseburgers. based on your analysis of the explanations offered by the two groups of students, how would you figure out which of the possible causes was the dominant cause of the increase in the price of cheeseburgers? (choose a, b,c, or d)a)if the price increase was small, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.b)if the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers decreases, then the demand shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the supply shift.c)if the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers decreases, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.d)whichever change occurred first must have been the primary cause of the change in the price of cheeseburgers.
