Universal Mines Inc. operates three mines in West Virginia. The ore from each mine is separated into two grades before it is shi

pped. The daily production capacities of the three mines, as well as their daily operating costs, are as follows: c/day Mine High-grade Ore, Low-grade Ore, Operating Cost Tons/day Tons/day in $/day 20,000 22,000 18,000 Mine 11 Mine III Universal has committed itself to deliver 54 tons of high-grade order and 65 tons of low-grade ore by the end of the week. Universal can run its mines seven days a week if required. Determine the number of days each mine should be operated during the upcoming week if Universal Mines is to fulfill its commitment at the minimum total cost. Round the answers to two decimal places.
a. The number of days Mine I should operate = _________days
b. The number of days Mine Il should operate = _________days
c. The number of days Mine III should operate = _________days

Answer:

this is a cost minimization problem, but it is missing some numbers, so I looked for similar questions (see attached PDF):

minimization equation = 20x₁ + 22x₂ + 18x₃ (costs per ton)

where:

x₁ = mine I

x₂ = mine II

x₃ = mine III

the constraints are:

4x₁ + 6x₂ + x₃ ≥ 54 (high grade ore)

4x₁ + 4x₂ + 6x₃ ≥ 65 (low grade ore)

x₁, x₂, x₃ ≤ 7 (only 7 days per week)  

using solver, the optimal solution is

2x₁, 7x₂, and 5x₃

a. The number of days Mine I should operate = <u>2 days </u>

b. The number of days Mine Il should operate = <u>7 days </u>

c. The number of days Mine III should operate = <u>5 days </u>

d. The total cost of the operation for next week = <u>$284,000</u>

Wilturner Company incurs $76,000 of labor related directly to the product in the Assembly Department, $25,000 of labor not direc
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

correct option is b) $76,000 and $37,000

Explanation:

given data

Labor related directly to the product = $76,000

labor not directly related to the product = $25,000

labor for services = $12,000

solution

As here Direct Labor is express as

Direct Labor  = Labor related directly to the product   ...............1

so

Direct Labor = $76,000

and

Factory Overhead will be as

Factory Overhead = Labor not directly related to the product + labor for services  ,................................2

put here value and we get

Factory Overhead  $25000 + $12000

Factory Overhead = $37,000

so here correct option is b) $76,000 and $37,000

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue
Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.
