Last year's customer orders totaled 15000

Predicted orders for next year with a 15% rise = 15000 x 1.15 = 17250

Each customer order takes 1.5 hours to fulfill

Total time needed to satisfy customer orders = 17250 x 1.5 = 25875

Knowing that the standard work year comprises 2000 hours

Hence, the effective work year with a 2% capacity cushion

= Standard work year x ( 1 – Capacity cushion %/100)

= 2000 x 0.98  = 1960 hours

Workers required by manager

= Total time needed for orders / effective work year

= 25875 / 1960  = 13.20, rounded to 13

Thus, the manager will require 13 workers next year

When the ABC company submitted its Articles of Incorporation to the State of California, they intended to operate as ABC Inc., which implies corporation status with limited liability.

However, if a lawsuit is initiated by XYZ Inc. for breach of contract, and considering that XYZ has filed this case against ABC, the company will shift to being recognized as a partnership subject to unlimited liability. This change occurs because ABC has received notification from the State of California indicating that their Articles of Incorporation were not accepted due to the omission of their Registered Agent on the application forms.
