Answer: The answer is given below

Explanation:

Information Systems are the networks of both the hardware and the software which is used by economic agents to collect, process, create and help in the distribution of data.

Information Technology (IT) flattens organizations simply means that information systems can help in the reduction of the levels in an organization through the provision of information to managers which will be used in the supervision of other emoloyees and also, lower-level employees could be given more authority relating to decision-making.

Since decision making has been pushed to lower level then fewer managers will be needed. This ensures that faster decision making are made and there's increase in the span of control.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

-$28.8.

Explanation:

Note, we were told,

  • to assume the cost of a therm is $0.30
  • the family uses 600 therms of energy annually.

<u>Savings on old furnace:</u>

  • 600 * $0.30 * 0.80 (or written as 80%) = $144

<u>Savings on new furnace:</u>

  • 600 * $0.30 * 0.96 (or written as 96%) = $172.8

Difference: $144 - $172.8 = -$28.8.

approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the mar
anyanavicka [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A manufacturer believes that the cost function : $C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the marginal cost goes beyond $210. What is the most units the manufacturer can produce and still make a profit? What is the total cost at this level of production?

Solution :

Given the cost function is :

$C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  

Now, Marginal cost = $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)$

So, if the marginal cost = $ 210, then the manufacturer also makes a profit and if it goes beyond $ 210 than the manufacturer cannot make a profit.

Therefore, we have to equate : $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \$ 210$

$\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \frac{5}{2}(2x)+120 = 210$

$5x + 120 = 210$

$5x=210-120$

$5x=90$

$x=45$

So when x = 45, then C(x) = $ 8042.5

Therefore, the manufacturer $\text{can make up}$ to 45 units and $\text{still makes a profit.}$ This leads to a total cost of $ 8042.5
