<span>Absolute Dominion is the current law involving ground water in Maine, Indiana, and Texas which in effect states that the owner of the property has complete control over the groundwater underneath their property and may pump that water up without regard to causing shortages with neighbors. Basically, you can pump as much as you want without worry about legal repercussions. Contrast this to the "reasonable use" rule that's used in most of the rest of the United States. The reasonable use rule prohibits landowners from "wasting groundwater" or transporting the groundwater off their property for use elsewhere. Now, how does this affect Nestle? In Maine there was a company called "Poland Springs" which pumped out groundwater for drinking in the local community. This company was purchased in 1980 by Perrier which is based in France. And finally, in 1992, Nestle purchased Perrier. Under Absolute Dominion, Nestle has no limit on how much groundwater they can pump and export to other locations without regard to long term sustainability.</span>

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The purchases of material Z should be of 656000 pounds.

Explanation:

The purchases of material Z should be such that they meet the desired closing inventory requirement of product Z along with producing enough units to meet the production requirements for the period which are left after the opening inventory has been used. Or we can also say that the purchases should be enough to meet the closing inventory and the Production requirements less the opening inventory.

Thus, purchases = Closing Inventory + Total Production Requirements - Opening inventory

The amount of material Z needed to produce 212000 units = 212000 * 3 = 636000 pounds

Purchases = 410000 + 636000 - 390000

Purchases = 656000 pounds

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

A) (20-(x-10)) (x-6) = -x^2 +36x-180

B)In order to maximize the weekly profit the feeder price should be $80 and the weekly profit will be $144

Explanation

A)Let's consider they priced each feeder dollar x then the gain (price minus cost) of each feeder is (x-6). With the price of Dollar 10 they can sell 20 per week.

For every dollar increase in price they will lose two sales so total sale is

(10-(x-10)) .By multiplying the number of sales of feeder with profit of each feeder sold we get total revenue y i.e.

Y=(x-6)(20-(x-10))

=(x-6) (30-x)

= -x^2+36x-180

B) compare above equation with quadratic equation we get;

a=-1 , b=36 , c= -180

A quadratic function has minimum or maximum at point -b/2a ,so revenue is increased for feeder price.

x= b/2a = 36/2(-1) = $18

AND

Maximum weekly profit is

Y(18) = (18-6) (30-18)

=$144

Karolina [17]

Answer:

If you start a little earlier and expect your child to graduate in 20 years, the time horizon will be 20 years, or if you start a little later and expect your child to graduate in 10 year, then the time horizon is 10 years.
