Answer: -7

Explanation: 

The slope the indifference curve is given by

\text{slope} = -\frac{\text{marginal utility of good }x}{\text{marginal utility of good }y}
\\
\\ \indent \text{slope} = -\frac{4xy}{2x^2} 
\\
\\ \indent \text{slope} = -\frac{2y}{x} 
\\
\\ \indent \text{slope} = -\frac{2(7)}{2} 
\\
\\ \indent \boxed{ \text{slope} = -7}

Acme company has a mission statement that is open to interpretation. Many stakeholders identify with it. Their mission statement
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The correct answer will be "Ambiguous ".

Explanation:

  • Ambiguous statements were indeed incredibly beneficial if there is no intended audience for a particular model or whether the manufacturer is uncertain whether that would respond to.
  • For example, in their advertising, another advertiser can sometimes demand a second commodity "new," and while it can indicate different meanings for a different individual, it is generally perceived favorably.

So that the above is the correct response.

Extraordinary repairs: Multiple Choice Are revenue expenditures. Extend the useful life of an asset beyond its original estimate
solmaris [256]

Answer:

Extend the useful life of an asset beyond its original estimate

Explanation:

An extraordinary repair is a major repair that is done to an asset that extends the asset's useful life beyond what was forecasted initially. In other words, an extraordinary repair is an overhaul or upgrade or hat makes an asset to last longer.

Extraordinary repairs are capitalized. This means that the cost of repair increases the asset's book value thereby increasing the depreciation expenses over the asset's revised remaining life.

Part X requires machining on a milling machine (operations A and B are required).
Inga [223]

Answer:atleast 5 machines

Explanation:

Quantity required (Q) = 3000

Maintainace due = 500 parts

3000 / 500 = 5 = 6 Maintainace

Repair time = 6 × 30 minutes = 300 minutes = 5 hours.

operation time = 5 × 18 × 60 = 5400 minutes

Total operation time = Total operation hours - repair time

5400 - 300 = 5100 hours

For A:

(Standard time × Q) / (reliability × time efficiency × scrap × total working hours)

(3 × 3000) / (. 95×.95×5100)

9000/4602.75 = 1.96

For B:

(Standard time × Q) / (reliability × time efficiency × scrap × total working hours)

(5 × 3000) / (.95×.9×5100)

15000/4360.5 = 3.44

(1.96 + 3.44) = 166.56

=5. 4

The Japanese method of organizing for product design features: a. teams. b. product managers (champions). c. distinct department
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

The correct option is D, a single organization without subdivisions or individual teams.

Explanation:

Typically organizations are divided along functions and divisions.

A functional structure consists of different departments such as production,marketing ,finance.supply chain,maintenance, human resources and so on,with each function saddled with distinct responsibilities and having its own performance metrics.

Under a divisional structure, the firm is divided into division based on location or products with each division having different functions under it.

However, the Japanese method does not support divisionalization or departmentalization, instead advocated for an organization where everyone irrespective of specialty is seen as a member of a single team
