A company that manufactures smartphones developed a new battery that has a longer life span than that of atraditional battery. F

rom the date of purchase of a smartphone, the distribution of the life span of the new batteryis approximately normal with mean 30 months and standard deviation 8 months. For the price of $50, thecompany offers a two-year warranty on the new battery for customers who purchase a smartphone. The warrantyguarantees that the smartphone will be replaced at no cost to the customer if the battery no longer works within24 months from the date of purchase.(a) In how many months from the date of purchase is it expected that 25 percent of the batteries will no longerwork? Justify your answer.(b) Suppose one customer who purchases the warranty is selected at random. What is the probability that thecustomer selected will require a replacement within 24 months from the date of purchase because the batteryno longer works?(c) The company has a gain of $50 for each customer who purchases a warranty but does not requirea replacement. The company has a loss (negative gain) of $150 for each customer who purchases a warrantyand does require a replacement. What is the expected value of the gain for the company for each warrantypurchased?

Answer:

1) at 24.64 months 25% of the cellphones battery will fail

2) there is a 22.66% chance it will use the warranty

3) the expected return is 16.01 dollar of gain per warranty

Explanation:

at 25% we have to look into the normal distirbution table for the Z value that acumulates that

we find out is -0.67

now we solve for X value:

\frac{X - 30}{8} = -0.67\\\frac{X - \mu}{\sigma} = P_z

X = 24.64

we solve for the provability when X = 24

we convert into a z value and look for the value inthe table

(24 - 30) / 8 = -0.75

probability = 0.226627352 = 22.66%

expected return

\left[\begin{array}{cccc}State&Return&Probability&Weight\\not use&50&0.7734&38.67\\use&-100&0.2266&-22.66\\&&&\\Total&&1&16.01\\\end{array}\right]

2. An electronics manufacturing firm is currently manufacturing resistors that have a variable cost of $0.50 per unit and a sell
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

a. Should the firm buy the new equipment?

  • no, because operating profit will decrease

b. What is the minimum price the company would have to charge in order for the new equipment to be worth purchasing (assuming the higher or lower price doesn’t affect the 500,000 unit volume)?

  • $1.02 per unit

Explanation:

contribution margin per unit = $0.50

total units sold = 300,000

fixed costs = $100,000

operating income = (300,000 x $0.50) - $100,000 = $50,000

if the firm improves the quality of their products:

contribution margin per unit = $0.40

total units sold = 500,000

fixed costs = $160,000

operating income = (500,000 x $0.40) - $160,000 = $40,000

if you want to keep operating income at $50,000 then minimum sales price should be:

500,000 = $210,000 / contribution margin

contribution margin = $210,000 / 500,000 = $0.42

sales price = contribution margin + variable costs = $0.42 + $0.60 = $1.02 per unit

Many economists argue that, in the long run, the economy self-corrects and achieves full employment. What is this argument calle
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Classic Model

Explanation:

Classical economists brought the view of market economy for the most effective solution of economic problems. They advocated that economic problems would be solved spontaneously and within the framework of the possibilities, if the rules of the market economy were followed, and they defined the state as a unit that operates in a limited area and does not interfere with the economy.

Classical economists argued that the economy would automatically stabilize at full employment level under conditions of full competition.

The basis of the classical model is the assumption that the economic units are rational. Consumers try to maximize their benefits, while manufacturers try to maximize their profits. Classical economists argue that the state should not interfere with the economy. Because, according to the classics, the economy will always be fully employed and the general level of prices will always make a certain level of decision. The state does not need to get involved in the economy in order to reach full employment and to get rid of excessive price movements such as inflation and deflation. The "invisible hand" in the economy provides spontaneous full employment and price stability.

The basic assumptions of classical economic theory are as follows;

- Full competition conditions apply in the economy.

- Fees, interest rates and commodity prices are flexible.

- Each supply creates its own demand. (Say's Law)

- In the economy, money is demanded only for trading purposes, money is neutral. Money supply only affects the absolute price level, not relative (relative) prices and the real economy.

The classic model was popular before the Great Depression. It was said the economy was developing freely and that prices and wages were adjusted according to the time-consuming ups and downs. In other words, when times are good, wages and prices are rising rapidly, and when times are bad, wages and prices are set free.  The main assumption of this model is that the economy is always in full employment, that is, everyone who wants to work is fully trained and able to work from all sources.  Classical economists believe that the economy is self-adjusting, meaning that no one needs help in the event of recession. This is a Classic Model.
