Explanation:

Journal entry preparations

A. Dr Amortization expense $43,750

($350,000÷8 years = $43,750)

Cr Patents $43,750

(Recording amortization for the patent)

B. Dr Amortization expense $5,230

($52,300÷10 years = $5,230)

Cr Patents $5,230

(Recording amortization for the patent)

C. Dr Amortization expense $14,000

($70,000÷5 years = $14,000)

Cr Franchises $14,000

(Recording amortization for franchises)

Answer:

setup cost = $1.75

setup time = 2.625 min

Explanation:

given data

The firm operates for 250 days annually.

Annual demand is 22,000.

Daily demand is 88.

Daily production stands at 250.

Desired lot size is set at 63 (equivalent to 2 hours of output).

Holding costs are $40 per unit each year.

To determine

the setup cost and setup time

solution

The setup cost is calculated as

setup cost = ......................1

Here, Q represents the desired lot size, H is the holding cost, d denotes daily demand, D is annual demand, and p is the daily output.

Plugging in the values,

setup cost =

setup cost =

setup cost = $1.75

Next,

the setup time is given by

setup time = ....................2

setup time =

setup time = 2.625 min

A) he is unable to identify the proper problem

B) he neglects to assign numerical values to various criteria

C) he resolves the issue ineffectively

D) he does not correctly identify the procedure steps

Response:

A. He fails to identify the proper problem.

Clarification:

In option B, assigning numerical values to decision criteria could assist in the decision-making process, yet it's not essential for achieving a successful outcome.

Regarding option C, solving a problem ineffectively is not optimal, but it does hold some value.

As for option D, recognizing the procedure's steps doesn't significantly impact the success of the process.

This directs us to option A as the correct response; addressing a problem is futile if it's the incorrect one. Resolving an erroneous problem yields no benefit for the organization.
