At the Moslund Plant, the assembly line consists of 3 conveyor belts. In addition, there are 3 inspection posts, one at the end of each conveyor belt. In Year 10 (Y10), 15 workers were employed directly on the line; 3 of these workers staffed the inspection posts, one at each post. In Y10, the Moslund Plant assembly line had an output of 250,000 units and generated a profit of $15,000,000.
Conveyor-belt speed increase accounted for the greatest increase in annual output of assembled units from Y10 to Y11.

Which one of the following statements is supported by the information provided about the assembly line and the assembly-line modernization plan at the Moslund Plant?
Soln:
As given in the first tab-
Yr 10 : Output =250,000 and Profit = 15,000,000
For Yr 11- check third tab to find the changes in output and profit after Automation
1) Inspection Post Automation- Increased output by 2% and Profit by5% i.e Output =255,000 and Profit =15,750,000
2)Conveyor Belt speed increase -Increased output by 3% and Profit by 4% i.e Output = 257500 & Profit=15,600,000
3) Administrative cost- Increased profit by 1% i.e Profit=15,150,000
Now lets check each given choices
A. On the assembly line, conveyor-belt speed is directly proportional to total annual output of assembled units.
- We do not know what was the speed of conveyor belt, we only know output. So Eliminate
B. Administrative unit restructuring accounted for the greatest increase in the dollar amount of profit from Y10 to Y11.
- As cal above , administrative unit restructuring is not the greatest increase in dollar amt of profit. It is lowest among all three elements. So Eliminate
C. Conveyor-belt speed increase accounted for the greatest increase in the dollar amount of profit from Y10 to Y11.
- Clearly no , conveyor belt speed accounted less than automation so eliminate.
D. Conveyor-belt speed increase accounted for the greatest increase in annual output of assembled units from Y10 to Y11.
-CORRECT-- Yes as can been seen from cal done above . Conveyor belt increase accounted for greatest increase in output.
E. Inspection-post automation accounted for the greatest increase in annual output of assembled units from Y10 to Y11.
-No it is incorrect based on cal above. So Eliminate.
Hope it helps.

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.
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.
