For each of the following statements about the Moslund Plant assembly line in Y11, select Yes if it is true based solely on the information provided. Otherwise, select No.

The assembly line generated a profit of $16,500,000. (Yes as this is 15m$ +10%)


Total output from the assembly line increased by 25,000 units over the total output for Y10. (No as 5% of 250K units is not equal to 25K units)


Administrative unit restructuring accounted for 1% of the total profit. (CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE ON THIS ONE?? WHY IS THE ANSWER NO SINCE IN THE TAB WE CAN SEE BELOW RESULTING INCREASE IN PROFIT 1%
Since the Administrative Unit Restructuring accounted for a 1% increase in profit, it doesn't tell us the participation in the total profit in Y10 or Y11. Example: if the participation in the profit was 10%, which is 1,500,000, and the 1% increase is 150,000. Since the actual profit is not available, we can't answer this question and hence it's a NO.

[color=#000000]Yes[/color][color=#000000]No[/color]
[color=#000000]The number of workers employed directly on the assembly line decreased by 20% from Y10 to Y11.[/color]
[color=#000000]The average (arithmetic mean) profit per worker employed directly on the assembly line was $1,000,000 in Y10.[/color]
[color=#000000]To the nearest unit, average (arithmetic mean) output per conveyor belt on the assembly line in Y11 was 91,667 assembled units.[/color]

Decrease in workers is not 20% as 20% of 18 is 3.6 but decrease is 3 workers only- NO
Profit per worker on the line= 15000000/18 < 1000000.- NO

Got it the number of workers are 15 (including 3). Now it all makes sense.

Here in the question, it was for year 110 and year 11. So, aren't we supposed to add 16,666.67 and 21,875 and then compare with 30k??
I am a little confused here!

Question 2:

Part 1: No.

output in year 10 was 250,000 (Q) and the number of direct line workers (N) was 15.
250,000/15 = 16,666.67 which is > than 10,000 and therefore not less than 10,000

Part 2: No.
Q/N in year 10 is 16,666,67 as calculated in part 1.
If we know N decreased, and we know Q increased, then we know the number increased overall. When the numerator increases the number as a whole increases, when the denominator decreases the whole number increases. This means between the two years, Q/N did NOT remain unchanged.

Part 3: Yes.
Q/N is 16,666.67 from part 1, which is less than 30,000
Now we need to check year 11.
In year 11, they laid off 3 people, meaning they now only have 12 workers (N).
Between year 10 and 11, output increased by 5%, so output went from 250,000 => 262,500
(1.05)(250,000) = 262,500
Q/N = 262,500/12 = 21,875, which is also less than 30,000.

No. The statement asks whether Q/N was below 30,000 in each of the two years.

Y10: 16,666.67 < 30,000

Y11: 21,875 < 30,000

Since both yearly values are below 30,000, the statement is Yes. We do not add them.

This was such a lengthy question, it makes me sad to see it under 600 level.
