Answer:
A. Relatively elastic
B. Relatively inelastic
C. Relatively elastic
D. Relatively elastic
E. Relatively inelastic
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
If the absolute value of price elasticity is greater than one, it means demand is elastic. Elastic demand means that quantity demanded is sensitive to price changes
Demand is inelastic if there's little or no change in quantity demanded when the price of the good changes.
If Consumers have a long time to adjust to a change in price, demand is usually elastic because consumers would have enough time to adjust to price changes. For example, if the price of the good has increased and the consumer has enough time to adjust to the price change, the consumer would have enough time to find cheaper suitable substitutes.
The elasticity of demand for necessities is usually inelastic because consumers have no choice but to buy the product. For example, water is considered a necessity. If the price of a bottle of water increases, consumers have no choice but to consume water so they would keep buying the bottle of water despite the increase in price.
Goods that have many substitutes usually have an elastic demand because the good can be easily replaced with the numerous substitutes available.
Goods on which consumers spend a small share of their budget usually have an inelastic demand. For example, if you earn $500,000 and you usually buy a product for 10 cents and the price increases to 15 cents, you would probably not stop purchasing the product as a result of the price increase since it constitutes a negligible part of your budget.
Goods that are narrowly defined have an elastic demand. For example, there are many substitutes for bread but there are no subsituites for food.

Gain on Bargain Purchase $29,000 (credit)
Explanation:
All assets and liabilities of Deluxe Company have been acquired by Allerton Company. This is known as a Business Combination in terms of IFRS 3.
During a Business Combination transaction, Assets and Liabilities are Acquired at their Fair Values instead of Book Values.
Any Excess of the Purchase Price (Consideration) over the Net Assets taken over is known as Goodwill otherwise it is known as a Gain on Bargain Purchase.
The Work-in-Process inventory account of a manufacturing firm shows a balance of $3,980 at the end of an accounting period. The job cost sheets of two uncompleted jobs show charges of $660 and $460 for materials, and charges of $560 and $740 for direct labor. From this information, it appears that the company is using a predetermined overhead rate, as a percentage of direct labor costs, of:
Answer:
Predetermine overhead rate as a percentage of direct labor cost is 120%
Explanation:
To calculate the predetermined overhead rate, we first need to determine the total overheads under the balance of $3980 for two jobs.
The total cost of both jobs which are uncompleted equals,
Total cost both jobs = (660 + 560) + (460 + 740)
Total cost both jobs = 1220 + 1200 = $2420
Thus, the overhead cost involved in both jobs is,
Total Overhead cost = 3980 - 2420 = $1560
This total overhead of $1560 has been absorbed on the basis of a predetermine overhead rate based on the direct labor cost. The total direct labor cost involved under both uncompleted jobs is,
Total direct labor cost both jobs = 560 +740 = $1300
So, the predetermined overhead rate is,
Overhead rate = Total overheads / total direct labor cost
Overhead rate = 1560 / 1300
Overhead rate = $1.2 per $1 of direct labor cost
Expressed as a percentage of direct labor cost, it is:
% Overhead rate = 1560 / 1300 * 100 = 120% of direct labor cost
What is the company’s financial position? Please refer to the income statement and balance sheet for the Exceptional Service Grading Company available here. Using the learning resources provided in the Reading Assignment, perform a financial ratio analysis of the company using the following ratios: • Gross profit margin • Current ratio • Debt ratio
Answer:
Gross profit margin requires revenue and gross profit of the company.
Current ratio = 1.386 x
Debt ratio = 0.123 x
Explanation:
Gross profit margin requires revenue and gross profit of the company which is provided in the question but it can be calculated using this formula ; Total revenue / gross profit . where Gross profit = Revenue - cost of goods sold
Current ratio is calculated using the formula ; current assets/ current liabilities lets assume the left column is for the most recent year then current ratio = 4612200/3325950 = 1.386x
Debt ratio is calculated using the formula ; total debts/total assets lets assume once more that the left column is the most recent year. note; total debts = long term + current notes payable = 454800 + 277550
therefore debt ratio = 732350 / 5957800 = 0.123x

Suppose that an issuing bank pays on documents that are conforming to the requirements of the letter of credit, but the seller has shipped worthless goods to the buyer. Which of the following statements, if any, are true?
a. As long as the documents strickly comply with the letter of credit requirements, the bank will not have to reimburse the buyer
b. If there is fraud in the transaction, the bank will have to reinburse the buyer and seek its remedies against the seller
c. The strick compliance insulates the bank from liability, since it assures the bank that the underlying contract between the buyer and seller is entirely independent from the letter of credit contract
d. A and B
Answer:
the answer C
Explanation:
As long as the documents strickly comply with the letter of credit requirements, the bank will not have to reimburse the buyer
b. If there is fraud in the transaction, the bank will have to reinburse the buyer and seek its remedies against the seller
c. The strick compliance insulates the bank from liability, since it assures the bank that the underlying contract between the buyer and seller is entirely independent from the letter of credit contract
Data collected from the economy of Pokerville reveals that a 16% increase in income leads to the following changes:
• A 12% increase in the quantity of horses demanded.
• A 14% decrease in the quantity of clubs demanded.
• A 28% increase in the quantity of diamonds demanded.
Compute the income elasticity of demand for each good and use the dropdown menus to complete the first column in the following table.
Good Income Elasticity of Demand Normal or Inferior Good
Horses
Spades
Aces
Which of the following three goods is most likely to be classified as a luxury good?
a. Aces
b. Spades
c. Horses
Answer:
Horses - 0.75 - normal
Clubs- 0.875 - inferior
Diamonds - 1.75 - normal
Diamond is a luxury good
Explanation:
Income elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in income of the consumer.
Income elasticity of demand = percentage change in demand / percentage change in income
Income elascitiy for horses = 12% / 16% =
Income elasticity of demand for spades = 14% / 16% = 0.875
Income elasticity of demand for diamonds 28% / 16% = 1.75
A normal good is a whose demand increases when income increases and falls when income falls.
An inferior good is a good whose demand increases when income falls and whose demand falls when income increases.
Horses and diamonds are normal goods because the demand for the goods increases with income while clubs are inferior goods because the demand for the goods falls when income rises.
A luxury good is a good whose demand rises more than the rise in income. The demands for diamonds increase more than the increase in income, so diamonds are luxury goods.

Walkers World Company gathered the following information for 2019:
Total sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000
Cost of goods sold 231,000
Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000
Accounts receivable at end of 2019 ($30,000
increase during 2019) 100,000
Allowance for doubtful accounts:
Beginning of 2019 5,000
End of 2019 7,000
Merchandise inventory at end of 2019 ($10,000
decrease during 2019) 28,000
Assume 365 days in the year.
Calculate each of the following ratios.
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
B. Average age of receivables.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory
Answer:
A. Receivable turnover ratio. = 4.57 times
B. Average age of receivables. 94.07 days
C. Inventory turnover ratio. 7 times
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory = 633 days
Explanation:
Net Sales $ 388,000
Sales revenue (65% on credit) $432,000
Less Sales returns and allowances (on credit) 44,000
Average Accounts Receivable = Accounts Rec (beg) Accounts Rec (end)/2
= 70,000+ 100,000/2= $85,000
A. Receivable turnover ratio.
Receivable turnover ratio= Net Sales / Average Accounts Receivable
= 388,000/ 85,000= 4.5647= 4.565= 4.57 times
A high turnover ratio is favorable because the accounts receivable are quickly collected.
B. Average age of receivables.
Average age of receivables= Accounts receivable *365/ Sales
= 100,000* 365/388,000= 365,000,00/388,000= 94.07 days
Accounts receivable will be collected in 94 days.
C. Inventory turnover ratio.
Inventory turnover ratio= Cost Of Goods Sold/ Average Inventory
= 231,000/38,000+ 28,000/2
= 231,000/33,000= 7 times
A company with a high turnover requires a smaller investment in inventory than one producing the same sales with a lower turn over.
D. Average number of days' supply in inventory
Average number of days' supply in inventory= Cost of Goods Sold/ 365
= 231,000 /365= 632.89
More Inventory will be needed in 633 days

"Nelson Corp. is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment. The cost savings from the equipment would result in an annual increase in cash flow of $100,000. The equipment will have an initial cost of $400,000 and have a 5-year life. If the salvage value of the equipment is estimated to be $75,000, what is the payback period
Answer:
4 years
Explanation:
Payback period calculates the amount of the time it takes for the amount invested in a project to be recovered from the cumulative cash flow.
Payback period = amount invested / annual cash flows
= $400,000 / $100,000 = 4 years

In 2001, President George W. Bush and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan were both concerned about a sluggish U.S. economy. They also were concerned about the large U.S. trade balance deficit. To help stimulate the economy, President Bush proposed a tax cut. What are the effects of the proposed policy using the IS-LM model
Answer:
The answer is given below.
Explanation:
The effect of this tax cut would be a resultant shift in the IS curve to the right, resulting in higher interest rates, currency appreciation, and bigger current account deficits. The tax cut would encourage consumers to spend more and, thereby increasing planned expenditure. The tax cut raises both income and the interest rate.
Revising for Conciseness - Rejecting Redundancies and PurgingEmpty Words
Concise writing will save your reader time and make your message easier to understand. During phase three of the 3-x-3 writing process, revise for conciseness by rejecting redundancies and purging empty words.
Which of the following options are redundancies?
1) Adequate enough
2) Combined together
3) Big in size
4) Absolutely essential
Determine which empty words can be purged from the following sentence to make it more concise.
Answer: A. 1) Adequate enough
2) Combined together
3) Big in size
4) Absolutely essential
b. 3) “That was unfinished”
Explanation:
A. Redundancies in phrases refer to the repetition of words with the same or similar meanings which gives off the impression of saying the same things twice. All the options listed are therefore redundancies.
By saying something is Adequate which means that it is sufficient for something one does not again need to include enough because it is the same as sufficient as well.
By also saying Combined, one has already inferred that something was brought together. Including together again is redundant because the together is already in the definition of combined.
Big in size is another redundancy because when a person describes something as Big, they are already referring to the size of the thing in question. Adding in size is therefore not needed.
Finally, the Absolutely in the phrase makes the phrase redundant. When something is said to be essential it means that it is absolutely needed or crucial. To say something is Absolutely Essentially is like saying something is an Essential Essential.
B. The Johnson report had already been said to contain incomplete data. To go on to say that the data is Unfinished is a redundancy because by saying that it is incomplete it means that the data is by definition Unfinished. Removing the “That was unfinished” bit fixes the sentence.
Bonds payable-record issuance and premium amortization. Kaye Co. issued $1 million face amount of 11% 20-year bonds on April 1,2004. The bonds pay interest on an annual basis on March 31 each year.
Required:
a. Assume that market interest rates were slightly lower than 11% when the bonds were sold. Would the proceeds from the bond issue have been more than, less than, or equal to the face amount? Explain.
b. Independent of your answer to part a, assume that the proceeds were $1,080,000. Use the horizontal model (or write the journal entry) to show the effect of issuing the bonds.
c. Calculate the interest expense that Kaye Co. will show with respect to these bonds in its income statement for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, assuming that the premium of $80,000 is amortized on a straight-line basis.
Answer:
Cash proceeds would be higher than face amount.
Bond issuance:
Dr cash $1,080,000
Cr bonds payable $1,000,000
Cr premium on bonds payable($1,080,000-$1,000,000) $80,000
$57,400
Explanation:
If the market interest rate were slightly lower than 11% coupon rate,the cash proceeds from the bonds would be higher than face amount as a lower market rate is used as a discount rate in calculating the present value,in other words,the lower the discount rate,the higher the present value as further shown below.
Assume market rate is 10.5%
cash proceeds=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate is 10.5%
nper is 20 years
pmt =$1,000,000*11%=$110,000
fv is $1000,000
=-pv(10.5%,20,110000,1000000)=$1,041,154.54
amortization(annually)=$80,000/20=$4000
Amortization for six months=$4,000*6/12=$2,000
coupon=$1,080,000*11%*6/12=$ 59,400.00
Interest expense=coupon -premium amortization=$ 59,400.00-$2,000.00=$57,400
On December 31, 2018, Interlink Communications issued 6% stated rate bonds with a face amount of $107 million. The bonds mature on December 31, 2048. Interest is payable annually on each December 31, beginning in 2019. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) Determine the price of the bonds on December 31, 2018, assuming that the market rate of interest for similar bonds was 7%. (Enter your answers in whole dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
Answer:
$93,725,580.00
Explanation:
The market price of the bond is the present value of annual coupon payment plus the present value of face amount receivable at the end of the bond tenure.
Annual coupon interest=face amount*stated rate=$107,000,000*6%=$6,420,000.00
Face amount=$107,000,000
The discount factor for annual coupon is the present of 30 years annuity(2048-2018) at 7% market rate, which is 12.4090
The discount factor for the face value is 0.1314
Price of the bond=($6,420,000.00*12.4090)+($107,000,000*0.1314)=$93,725,580.00

Suppose you win the lottery and have two options: A. Take $1 million now. B. Take $1.2 million to be paid out as 300,000 now and then $300,000 a year for 3 years. Which is the better deal? Assume that the interest rate is 10%. Please show your work. (4 point)
Answer:
A. Take $1 million now.
Explanation:
A. If we take $1 million now the present value of the money is $1 million.
B. If we choose to take $1.2 million paid out over 3 years then present value will at 10% will be;
$300,000 + $300,000 / 1.2 + $300,000/ 1.44 + $300,000 / 1.728
$300,000 + $250,000 + $208,000+ $173,611 = $931,944
The present value of option B is less than present value of option A. We should select option A and take $1 million now.
You own a portfolio that has a total value of $130,000 and a beta of 1.28. You have another $49,000 to invest and you would like the beta of your portfolio to decrease to 1.18. What does the beta of the new investment have to be in order to accomplish this
Answer:βB =0.9147=beta of new investment
Explanation:
Total investment= $130,000 + $49,000= $179,000
Using
Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB
Where βp is the portfolio beta coefficient,
wA is the weight of the first investment,
βA is the beta coefficient of first investment;
wB is the weight of the second investment,
βB is the beta coefficient of second investment
but weight of investment is stock value/ total investment x 100
wA= 130,000/ 179,000X 100=72.63%
WB= 49,000/179,000 X100=27.374%
Portfolio beta(βp) = wA × βA + wB × βB
1.18=(72.63%*1.28)+(27.374% XβB )
1.18=0.9296+0.27374βB
βB i=(1.18-0.9298)/0.27374
βB =0.9147=beta of new investment
Markysha needs to know the cost variance of her project to determine if it is under budget or over budget. To do this she decides to use _________ to compare her project's performance to the expected progress.
Answer:
Earned value management
Explanation:
Markysha decided to use Earned value management for this comparison.
Earned Value Management helps project managers to measure project performance.
It is a project management process that is used to find variances in projects by comparing project's performance to the expected progress. It is useful on cost and schedule control and can be very beneficial when it comes to forecasting during projects.
A few years back, Dave and Jana bought a new home. They borrowed $230,415 at a fixed rate of 5.49% (15-year term) with monthly payments of $1,881.46. They just made their twenty-fifth payment and the current balance on the loan is $208,555.87.
Interest rates are at an all-time low and Dave and Jana are thinking of refinancing to a new 15-year fixed loan. Their bank has made the
following offer: 15-year term, 3.0%, plus out-of-pocket costs of $2,937. The out-of-pocket costs must be paid in full at the time of refinancing.
Build a spreadsheet model to evaluate this offer. The Excel function:
=PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type)
alculates the payment for a loan based on constant payments and a constant interest rate. The arguments of this function are as follows:
rate = the interest rate for the loan
nper = the total number of payments
pv= present value - - the amount borrowed
fv = future value - - the desired cash balance after the last payment (usually 0)
type = payment type (0 = end of period, 1 = beginning of the period)
For example, for Dave and Jana's original loan there will be 180 payments (12*15 = 180), so we would use =PMT( .0549/12, 180, 230415,0,0) = $1881.46. Note that since payments are made monthly, the annual interest rate must be expressed as a monthly rate. Also, for payment calculations, we assume that the payment is made at the end of the month.
Assume that Dave and Jana have accepted the refinance offer, and that there is no pre-payment penalty, so that anything above the beyond the required payment is applied to the principal. Construct a spreadsheet model in Excel so that you may use Goal Seek to determine the monthly payment that will allow Dave and Jana to pay off the loan in 12 years. Do the same for 10 and 11 years. Which option for prepayment if any, would you choose and why?
(Hint: Break each monthly payment up into interest and principal [the amount that gets deducted from the balance owed] Recall that the monthly interest that is charged is just the monthly loan rate multiplied by the remaining loan balance.)

New monthly payment
PMT(3%/12, 15*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,440.25
Now, we need find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11 and 12 years. So, using the above formula, we get
10-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 10*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $2,013.83
11-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 11*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,856.93
12-year installment = PMT(3%/12, 12*12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = $1,726.40
Additional Monthly Payment
10-year: $2,013.83 - $1,440.25 = $573.58
11-year: $1,856.93 - $1,440.25 = $416.68
12-year: $1,726.40 - $1,440.25 = $286.15
Refinancing means finance again(object) and, usually with a new loan with a low-interest rate.
What is the term refinancing means?Refinance, or "refi" briefly, refers to the process of reviewing and replacing existing credit agreement terms, usually as they relate to the loan or mortgage.
Calculation of new monthly payment under refinance model:
New monthly payment:
[tex]PMT(3\%/12, 15\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,440.25[/tex]
The calculation is shown in the attached image.
Now, we need to find the additional amount that they need to pay in order to repay their outstanding loan in 10,11, and 12 years.
Using the above formula, we get
[tex]\rm\,10-year \;installment\; = \;PMT(3\%/12, 10\times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$2,013.83\\\\11-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 11 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,856.93\\\\12-year installment = PMT(3\%/12, 12 \times 12, 208555.87, 0, 0) = \$1,726.40[/tex]
Additional Monthly Payment
[tex]\rm\,10-year \$2,013.83 - \$1,440.25 = \$573.58\\\\11-year: \$1,856.93 - \$1,440.25 = \$416.68\\\\12-year: \$1,726.40 - \$1,440.25 = \$286.15[/tex]
Hence, We can go for 12-year model, as it is cost-effective for Dave and Jana.

Clipper Corporation is considering an investment of $70,000 in a project that will generate annual net operating income of $12,950. If the division planning to make the investment currently has a return on investment of 20% and its manager is evaluated based on the division's ROI, will the division manager be inclined to request funds to make this investment
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
But before reaching any decision, first we have to find out the ROI for new investment which is
ROI of new investment = net operating income ÷ investment
= $12,950 ÷ $70,000
= 18.50%
Now
If investment taken place, then overall ROI is
= Total net operating income ÷ Total average operating assets
= ($380,000 + $12,950) ÷ ($2,000,000 + $70,000)
= 18.98%
As we can see that the overall ROI i.e 18.98% is less than the currently ROI i.e 20% so he should not recommend ROI as it is shows fallen

Requirement 2:
Which divisional manager seems to be doing the better job?
Answer:
Queensland Wale -18%
New South Wales-21%
The manager of New South seems to be doing a better job with a higher return on investment of 21%
Explanation:
Return on investment stated in terms of margin and turnover combines the margin formula and the asset the turnover formula as below:
Return on investment=Net operating income/sales*sales/average operating assets:
Queensland Wales:
Net operating income is $360,000
sales is $4,000,000
average operating assets is $2,000,000
return on investment=$360,000/$4000,000*$4000,000/$2000,0=18%
New South :
Net operating income is $420,000
sales is $7,000,000
average operating assets is $2,000,000
return on investment=$420,000/$7000,000*$7000,000/$2000,000=21%

Find the mean, median and mode for the above set of data
Answer:
a. Mean = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37
Step-by-step Explanation:
==>Given:
Class of ages in yrs
No. of cases of each class = f
Midpoint of each class = x
Product of midpoint and no. of cases of each class = fx
==>Required:
a. Mean
b. Median
c. Mode
==>SOLUTION:
a. Mean = (Σfx)/Σf
Σf = sum of no. of cases = 5+10+20+22+13+5 = 75
Σfx = 47.5+195+590+869+643.5+297.5 = 2,642.5
Mean = 2,642.5/75 = 35.2 ≈ 35
b. Median = Lm + [((Σf/2) - Cfb)/fm]Cw
Our median is between the 37th and the 38th term, which can be found in the class interval 35-44. This is our median class.
Lm = Lower class boundary of the median class = lower limit of the Medina class + upper limit of the class before the median class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
Σf/2 = 75/2 = 37.5
Cfb = Cumulative frequency of class before the median class = 5+10+20 = 35
fm = frequency of the Medina class = 22
Cw = Class width = upper class boundary - lower class boundary = 44.5-34.5 = 10
Median = 34.5 + [(37.5-35)/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [2.5/22] × 10
= 34.5 + [25/22]
= 34.5 + 1.1
= 35.6 ≈ 36
c. Mode = Lm + [∆¹/(∆¹+∆²)]Cw
Modal class = (35-44) [i.e. the class with the highest frequency, which is where our mode falls in]
Lm = lower class boundary of the modal class = lower limit of the modal class + upper limit of the class before the modal class ÷ 2 = (35+34)/2 = 34.5
∆¹ = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class before the modal class = 22 - 20 = 2
∆² = difference between the frequency of the modal class & the frequency of the class after the modal class = 22 - 13 = 9
Cw == Upper class boundary - Lower class boundary = 44.5 - 34.5 = 10
Mode = 34.5 + [2/(2+9)] × 10
= 34.5 + [2/11] × 10
= 34.5 + [20/11]
= 34.5 + 1.8
Mode = 36.6 ≈ 37

Charles is a stay-at-home parent who lives in New York City and teaches tennis lessons for extra cash. At a wage of $25 per hour, he is willing to teach 6 hours per week. At $35 per hour, he is willing to teach 16 hours per week. Using the midpoint method, the elasticity of Teresa’s labor supply between the wages of $25 and $35 per hour is approximately _________ , which means that Teresa’s supply of labor over this wage range is _________
Answer:
2.75, elastic.
Explanation:
Measure labor supply elasticity of Individual T's as follows :
[tex]\bf Elasticity=\frac{Percent \;change\;in\;labour\;hr}{\frac{Average\;labour\;hour}{\frac{Percent\;change\;in\;wage\;price}{Average\;wage\;price} } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf =\frac{16-6}{\frac{16+6}{\frac{2}{\frac{35-25}{\frac{35+25}{2} } } } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf=\frac{10}{\frac{11}{\frac{10}{30} } }[/tex]
[tex]\bf=\frac{0.91}{0.33}[/tex]
[tex]=2.75[/tex]
Therefore, the elasticity of the labour supply of Individual T's is approx. of earnings per hour. 2.75, meaning that the work supply of Person T's is elastic across this wage range

The Baldwin company will continue to train their existing workforce at their current level to help reduce turnover and improve productivity next year. Employee training costs $20 per hour. How much would their training costs per employee be to the nearest dollar
Answer: $1,600
Explanation:
The training hours per employee can be calculated by multiplying the Employee Training hours by the cost of training per employee.
From the Attached document, the Baldwin company does 80 hours of training for employees.
The Training costs per Employee is;
= 80 * 20
= $1,600
If the Baldwin Company organizes 80 hours of training for each employer in a given year, and the training cost per hour for an employee is $20, it implies that the training costs per employee would be $1,600 ($20 x 80).
Data and Calculations:
Training costs per employee per hour = $20
Training hours per employee in a year 80 hours
Total training costs per employee in a year = $1,600 ($20 x 80)
Thus, the Baldwin Company spends $1,600 per employee in training them so that employee turnover would be reduced while productivity improves.
