processing transactions. For Example if all income-related accounts have the structure 1xxxx‚ all expense-related accounts have the structure 2xxxx‚ all asset-related accounts 3xxxx and all liability accounts 4xxxx‚ then this will help the production of the income statement (all 1xxxx amounts less all 2xxxx amounts) and the statement of financial position (3xxxx as asset amounts and 4xxxx amounts as liabilities). This is particularly needed in computerized accounting systems because

a major expense to company but would increase its production efficiency and capacity significantly. The retooling option includes shut down of existing Lyra and Libra manufacturing facilities which are only dedicated to respective models and opening of new Lyra facility which is able to manufacture both Lyra and Libra and Libra facility which is able to manufacture all 3 models. The analysis is performed by given plant characteristic (production capacity and associated fixed costs) for existing facilities

the (i) total product‚ (ii) marginal product‚ and (iii) average product functions. c. Determine the boundaries of the three stages of production. Based on the information total product would range anywhere from 3 to 60; marginal product would range from -3 to 14‚ and average product would range from 3 to 9.17. 6. Consider the following short-run production function (where L = variable input‚ Q = output): a. Determine the marginal revenue product function. Total = P x Q = 10(10L - 0.5L^2)

Despite fierce competition in Europe‚ the major reasons for Frankfurt plant generating profits were 1) constant technical up gradations in the plant to improve the yields and reliability of Release-ease. 2) Manufacturing costs were the least and the production volumes were huge resulting in average yield on raw material A at 98.9%. The Venezuelan plant‚ started in 1964‚ had a no-frills design‚ and no improvements had been made thereafter. The educational qualifications of the Venezuelan operators were

a change to the cost driver. (Horngren‚ Sutton‚ and Stratton p.46) Which means that a fixed cost does not rise with the change is production of your product. A good example of a fixed cost is rent. No matter how many widgets you make (within a relevant range) your rent will not increase. A variable cost‚ on the other hand‚ does change with the amount of production. A good example of this is raw materials. If you make more widgets you will need more raw materials to produce those widgets. So

II. Suppose the production function for T-shirts can be represented as q = L0.25 K0.75. When K = 1 and q = 2‚ what is the slope of the isoquant? If there is insufficient information to answer the question‚ describe what information is missing. In the short run‚ MPL = 0.25 * (q/L). The change in MP with respect to L equals d(MPL)/dL = -0.25 * q/L2. Thus‚ for all levels of labour hired‚ MPL falls as L increases. III. Consider the following short-run production function: q = 5L2 – (1/3)L3
