Amanager wants to determine the number of containers to use for incoming parts for a kanban system to be installed next month. the process will have a usage rate of 70 pieces per hour. because the process is new, the manager has assigned an inefficiency factor of .15. each container holds 40 pieces and it takes an average of 45 minutes to complete a cycle.

a-1. how many containers should be used? (round up your answer to the next whole number.) number of containers -2. as the system improves, will more or fewer containers be required? *fewer*more

What is the difference between secure bonds and naked bonds?

Computing equivalent units is especially important for: (a) goods that take a relatively short time to produce, such as plastic bottles. (b) goods with sustainability implications in their production processes. (c) goods that are started and completed during the same period. (d) goods that take a long time to produce, such as airplanes.

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply.a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
