Answer: Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Price elasticity of demand = 0.5

Percentage increase in price = 8%

Price elasticity of demand = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{Percentage\ change\ in\ price}

0.5 =  \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ quantity\ demanded}{8}

Percentage change in quantity demanded = 0.5 × 8

                                                                       = 4%

Therefore, if the price rises by 8% then as a result quantity demanded decreases by 4%.

A production facility employs 10 workers on the day shift, 8 workers on the swing shift, and 6 workers on the graveyard shift. A
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A What is the probability that all 4 selected workers will be the day shift?

B What is the probability that all 4 selected workers will be the same shift?

C What is the probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers.

A)

The total number of workers = 10 + 8 + 6 = 24

The probability that all 4 selected workers will be the day shift is given as:

P_a=\frac{C(10,4)}{C(24,4)}= \frac{210}{10626}=0.0198

C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

B) The probability that all 4 selected workers will be the same shift (P_B) = probability that all 4 selected workers will be the day shift + probability that all 4 selected workers will be the swing shift + probability that all 4 selected workers will be the graveyard shift.

Hence:

P_B=\frac{C(10,4)}{C(24,4)}+\frac{C(8,4)}{C(24,4)}+\frac{C(6,4)}{C(24,4)}=0.0198+0.0066+0.0014=0.0278

C) The probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers (P_C)= 1 - the probability that all 4 selected workers will be the same shift(P_B)

P_C=1-P_B\\\\P_C=1-0.0278\\\\P_C=0.972

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.      

Explanation:

Total Overhead Cost:

= (Overhead × Number of cases) for all products

= (20 × 350) + (25 × 550) + (17 × 650)

= 31,800

Total Machine Hours:

= Machine hours × Number of cases

= (5 × 350) + (3 × 550) + (4 × 650)

= 6,000

Overhead Rate:

= Total Overhead Cost ÷ Total Machine Hours

= 31,800 ÷ 6,000

= 5.30

Total product cost per case for Product GC:

= Direct Material + Direct Labor + Overhead

= 80 + 30 + (Machine hours × Overhead Rate)

= 80 + 30 + (3 × 5.3)

= 80.00 + 30.00 + 15.90

= $125.90
