Answer:

a) Q = 100M + 60C

b) L = 0

c) L = Q / 60

d) Cost = $66.67

Explanation:

a)

Let M be the self service machines and L be the cashiers hired by company.

M = self service machines

C = hired cashiers

Q = Total output

Each self service machine can process 100 orders per hour = 100M

Cashier can process 60 orders per hour = 60C

Then,

Q = 100M + 60C

b)

Marginal Product of self service machine = 100 / 20 = 5 order per dollar

Marginal Product of cashier = 60 / 10 = 6 order per dollar

Marginal Product of cashier is higher than Marginal Product of self service machine(6 > 5).

Then, demand for self service machine is zero.

L = 0

c)

L = Orders to be processed / Order processed per cashier  

L = Q / 60

d)

L = Q / 60

L = 400 / 60 = 6.66666667

Cost = L x 10 = 6.66666667 x 10 = $66.67

Hope this helps!

All interest groups can be neatly categorized as economic interest groups or public interest groups.
Kipish [7]

False to say all interest groups can be neatly categorized as economic interest groups or public interest groups, because Interest group consist of other groups too .

What is meant Interest group ?

Interest groups, also known as special interest groups, advocacy groups, or pressure groups, are associations of people or organizations that are typically formally constituted and that aim to sway public policy in their favor based on one or more shared concerns. All interest groups share the desire to influence governmental policy in order to advance their causes or themselves. Their objective may be a policy that only benefits a specific set of people or a particular sector of society (such as government subsidies for farmers) or a policy that furthers a larger societal goal (e.g., improving air quality). By exerting pressure on decision-makers to change policy outcomes in their favor, they try to lobby in order to achieve their goals.
