B) Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.
C) Benny is a state employee and must file his claim pursuant to the Older Workers' Benefit Protection Act.
D) Benny does not have a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA as he was replaced by an employee who is older than 30.

Answer: B. Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, since Benny lives in a state that has not waived sovereign immunity, thus simply means that Benny cannot file a claim for age discrimination under the ADEA because he is a state employee.

Eben though the Age Discrimination in the Employment Act protects workers that are 40 years and above and Benny is 57 years, it should be noted that in the states whereby sovereign immunity hasn't been waived, the state employees cannot due their employers as they're barred from doing so.

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Cost of Normal Spoilage
Frieling Company installs granite countertops in customers' homes. First, the customer chooses the particular granite slab, and then Frieling measures the countertop area at the customer's home, cuts the granite to that shape, and installs it. The Tramel job calls for direct materials of $1,900 and direct labor of $500. Overhead is applied at the rate of 140 percent of direct labor cost. Unfortunately, one small countertop breaks during installation and Frieling must cut another piece and install it to properly complete the job. The additional rework required direct materials costing $400 and direct labor costing $100. Assume that the spoilage was due to carelessness by a Frieling worker and it is considered to be normal spoilage.
Required:
1. Calculate the cost of the Tramel job.
2. Make any needed journal entry to the overhead control account.
3. What if the additional rework required $200 of direct labor? What would be the effect on the cost of the Tramel job?

Betram Chemicals Company processes a number of chemical compounds used in producing industrial cleaning products. One compound is decomposed into two chemicals: anderine and dofinol. The cost of processing one batch of compound is $73,000, and the result is 5,600 gallons of anderine and 7,600 gallons of dofinol. Betram Chemicals can sell the anderine at split-off for $13.00 per gallon and the dofinol for $7.45 per gallon. Alternatively, the anderine can be processed further at a cost of $7.50 per gallon (of anderine) into cermine. It takes 2 gallons of anderine for every gallon of cermine. A gallon of cermine sells for $65.
Required:
1. List the relevant benefits and costs for each alternative.
2. Which alternative is more cost effective and by how much?
3. What if the production of anderine into cermine required additional purchasing and quality inspection activity? Every 500 gallons of anderine that undergo further processing required 20 more purchase orders at $10 each and 15 more quality inspection hours at $25 each. Which alternative would be better and by how much?

You are the manager for a Pizza restaurant. Currently, your restaurant pre-makes pizzas that are ordered the most to increase the number of pizzas being made on time for your customers. Over time, many customers have complained that their pizzas were cold upon delivery and not fresh, requesting refunds or remakes of their pizza. Your location is losing money from these wasteful practices, therefore, you want to create a Kanban based on the following basic principles:

1. A later process tells an earlier process when new items are required. This means that unless a customer orders a pizza, no pizzas will be made. Pull!
2. The earlier process produces what the later process needs.
3. No Items can be made without a Kanban card (order request). This allows the process to be transparent so everyone knows what is going on.
4. Defects are not passed on to the next stage.Create a Kanban board for your pizza company that delivers. You must have 4-6 columns with headings for each.

Required:
Decide what your Kanban cards will represent. Set Rules for your Kanban.
