Opportunity cost is best described as below:

Giving up an opportunity to do something else when making an economic decision.

In simple words, when there are two or more options in front of a person while making a decision, and he takes one of them by keeping something in mind and leave the other ones, then he is losing the opportunity of having the other alternative. This losing cost is actually the Opportunity Cost. It is basically the loss of one option while choosing the other one.

Answer:

Explanation:

Annual demand (D) = 20000 units

Number of days per year = 250

Demand rate(d) = D/number of days per year = 20000/250 = 80 units

Production rate(p) = 655 units

Set up cost(S) = $1800

Holding cost (H) = $1.50

A) Optimum run size(Q) = sqrt of {2DS / H [1-(d/p)]}

= sqrt of {(2x20000x1800) /1.50[1-(80/655)]}

= Sqrt of [7200000/1.50(1-0.1221) ]

= sqrt of [72000000/(1.50 x 0.8779)]

= sqrt of (7200000/1.31685)

= Sqrt of 5467593.1199

= 2338 units

b) Maximum inventory ( I - max) = (Q/p) (p-d) = (2338/655)(655-80) = 3.5695 x 575 = 2052.46 or rounded off to 2052 units

Average inventory = I-max/2 = 2052/2 = 1026 units

C) Number of production setups per year = D/Q = 20000/2338 = 8.55 or rounded up to 6

d) optimal length of production run = optimal run size /production rate = 2338/655 = 3.56 or rounded up to 4 days

What is the difference between a Chronological Resume and a Skills Resume? How are they similar, and how are they different?

erastovalidia [21]

A chronological resume lists your work experience in order of time, usually starting with the newest job and working your way backward. Skills resume lists the skills you have acquired from each job and groups them together. For instance, "leadership" may be a skill, so you would have a section entitled "Leadership" and then you would list all the leadership skills and tasks you have done.

These are similar because you will still list all your previous work history, skills, accomplishments, etc but the difference is in how you categorize and list them.

Un trabajador que gana $ 265 diarios, trabaja el domingo que no es su día de descanso, $ 21 de despensa, trasporte $ 25 pagado e

valentinak56 [21]

Responder:

Explicación:

Esta pregunta no solicitó qué responder, sin embargo, podemos conformarnos con la información que se nos proporcionó.

paso uno:

datos dados

Ganancias por día = $ 265

nos dicen que también trabaja los domingos

esto significa que trabaja los 7 días de la semana y los 365 días del año.

El 12% de las ganancias es para ahorros = 12/100 * 265

0,12 * 265 = $ 31,8

también se nos dice que lleva 3 años en servicio

por lo tanto, el número total de días es = 365 * 3 = 1095 días

La ganancia total por día durante tres años = 265 * 1095 = $ 290,175

Segundo paso:

Costo total de comestibles durante 3 años = 21 * 1095 = $ 22,995

Costo total de transporte durante 3 años = 25 * 1095 = $ 27,375

Ahorro total durante 3 años = 31,8 * 1095 = $ 34,821

Costo total de dos comidas durante 3 años = 26 * 1095 = $ 28,470

Paso tres:

Por lo tanto, la deducción total de sus ganancias durante 3 años es

= 22,995 + 27,375 + 34,821 + 28,470 = $ 113661

Y el saldo disponible será 290,175-113661 = $ 176514
