Costs from Beginning Inventory Costs from Current Period Direct materials $5,100 $25,200
Conversion costs $5,300 143,700

At the beginning of the period, there were 400 units in process that were 45% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to direct materials costs. During the period, 5,200 units were started and completed. Ending inventory contained 300 units that were 35% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. Assume that the company uses the FIFO cost flow method. The cost of completing a unit during the current period was:

Ajustification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. suppose that you are asked to evaluate whether more job training makes workers more productive. however, rather than having data on individual workers, you have access to data on manufacturing firms in ohio. in particu- lar, for each firm, you have information on hours of job training per worker (training) and number of nondefective items produced per worker hour (output). (i) carefully state the ceteris paribus thought experiment underlying this policy question. (ii) does it seem likely that a firm’s decision to train its workers will be independent of worker characteristics? what are some of those measurable and unmeasurable worker characteristics? (iii) name a factor other than worker characteristics that can affect worker productivity. (iv) if you find a positive correlation between output and training, would you have convincingly established that job training makes workers more productive? explain.

Consider the following two projects. both have costs of $5,000 in year 1. project 1 provides benefits of $2,000 in each of the first four years only. the second provides benefits of $2,000 for each of years 6 to 10 only. compute the net benefits using a discount rate of 6 percent. repeat using a discount rate of 12 percent. what can you conclude from this exercise?
