Answer:
$9.05
Explanation:
the information about prices and costs is missing, so I looked it up:
contribution margin per yard for silk = $18 - $4.10 - $2.70 - $3.51 - $0.90 = $6.79
contribution margin per yard for polyester = $10.20 - $0.80 - $2.90 - $3.77 - $0.60 = $2.13
contribution margin per machine hour:
silk = $6.79 x 1/0.75 = $9.05
polyester = $2.13 x 1/0.5 = $4.16
Answer:
a) true
Explanation:
A rise in the general price level is called inflation and it affects the nominal value of the company's output. E.g. you sell pants and last year they sold at $10 and now since inflation rate is 10%, they sell at $11. But inflation only affects nominal values, it doesn't affect real values which are calculated using a base price of a certain year X, times the quantity sold. Following the example, your real output would not be $11 per pair of pants, instead it would still remain at $10 since the inflation is discounted.
Answer:

Probability:
Box has one defective screen = 0.6
Box has three defective screen = 0.4
no. of screens in a box = 8
The box is rejected if both of the inspected screens are defective.
Probability of rejecting a box:
= 0.04286
Only 4.286% of the boxes will be rejected.
Therefore, Mary should answer that more than half of the boxes not be rejected.
