ycow [4]

Answer: 4 containers

Explanation:

The formula used to get the number of containers that are needed will be:

N = DT(1+X)/C

where,

N = total containers

D = planned usage rate used by the work center = 111 parts per hour

T = average waiting time = 100 minutes = 100/60 hours = 1.67 hours

X = inefficiency factor = 0.21

C = capacity of standard container = 5 dozens = 5 × 12 = 60 parts

N = DT(1+X)/C

N = (111 × 1.67)(1 + 0.21)/60

N = (185.37 × 1.21)/60

N = 224.2977/60

N = 3.738

N = 4 approximately

4 containers will be needed

The competitive firm's demand curve is: a. unit elastic over the relevant range of output. b. perfectly elastic over the relevan
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

perfectly elastic over the relevant range of output.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition there are many firms in the market selling goods that are usually homogeneous in nature. Each individual firm will not be able to influence the price for which it offers goods and services to the customer.

The firm's are price takers and there is no barrier to entry.

This results in a situation where for all levels of quantity demanded there is no change in price, and demand curve is a horizontal line.

One of the problems associated with the utilitarianism is that it does not recognize that taxing those with higher incomes resul
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

taxing those with higher incomes results in less work effort.

Explanation:

In normative ethics, utilitarian ethics (utilitarianism) can be defined as a theory of morality or ethical theory that typically involves engaging in actions that facilitate pleasure, joy or happiness while completely opposing any action capable of causing harm and unhappiness.

Basically, utilitarian ethics considers an action to be right or morally correct if it produces genuine happiness or joy in the mind of a large number of people in an organization, group or society.

The three (3) main principles (axioms) of utilitarian ethics (utilitarianism) include the following;

I. The only thing with an intrinsic value is pleasure or happiness.

II. If an action promotes happiness or pleasure, then it is right; it is wrong if it causes harm or unhappiness (sadness).

III. The happiness of everyone in a group or society should count equally.

One of the problems associated with the utilitarianism is that it does not recognize that taxing those with higher incomes results in less work effort.
