Given Information:

Current Population = P₀ = 7 billion = 7x10⁹

Growth rate = r = 3 %

Period = t = 100 years

Required Information:

(a) Population after 100 years = ?

(b) Population after t = 0, 1, 2, 10, 25, 50 years = ?

(c) Population vs time graph = ?

Explanation:

The human population growth can be modeled as an exponential growth,

$P = P_{0} e^{rt}$

where P₀ is the current population, r is the growth rate and t is the time period

(a) What would the population equal 100 years from now?

$P = 7x10^{9} e^{0.03*100}$

P = 140.6x10⁹

(b) Compute the level of the population for t = 0, t = 1, t = 2, t = 10, 25, and t =50

<u>t = 0</u>

P = 7x10⁹e⁰

P = 7x10⁹

<u>t = 1</u>

P = 7x10⁹e^0.03*1

P = 7.213x10⁹

<u>t = 2</u>

P = 7x10⁹e^0.03*2

P = 7.423x10⁹

<u>t = 10</u>

P = 7x10⁹e^0.03*10

P = 9.45x10⁹

<u>t = 25</u>

P = 7x10⁹e^0.03*25

P = 14.82x10⁹

<u>t = 50</u>

P = 7x10⁹e^0.03*50

P = 31.37x10⁹

(c) Make a population versus time graph

Stefani Company has gathered the following information about its product. Direct materials: Each unit of product contains 4.50 p

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The right solution is "$78.55".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Material cost,

= $5 per pound

Average freight costs,

= $0.25 per pound

Downtime average,

= 0.40 hours per unit

According to the question,

The direct material cost per unit will be:

= $((4.5+0.5)\times 5\times 0.98)+(0.25\times (4.5+0.5))$

= $(5\times 5\times 0.98)+(0.25\times 5)$

= $24.5+1.25$

= $25.75$ ($)

The direct labor will be:

= $((2.0+0.4)\times 12)+(3\times (2.0+0.4))$

= $28.8+7.2$

= $36$ ($)

Manufacturing overhead will be:

= $(2.0+0.4)\times 7$

= $2.4\times 7$

= $16.8$ ($)

hence,

The standard cost per unit will be:

= $Direct \ material+Direct \ labor+Manufacturing \ overhead$

= $25.75+36+16.8$

= $78.55$ ($)

Rediger Incorporated a manufacturing Corporation, has provided the following data for the month of June. The balance in the Work

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

cost of goods manufactured= $161,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Work in Process inventory= $41,000

Ending Work in Process inventory= $26,500

Direct materials= $58,800

Direct labor cost= $33,700.

The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $54,800.

<u>To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + <u>allocated manufacturing overhead</u> - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 41,000 + 58,800 + 33,700 + 54,800 - 26,500

cost of goods manufactured= $161,800

There is conflict and distrust in the team. Glen, the team leader, doesn't think the team members are working enough. The team members, on the other hand, don't think Glen trusts them to do their jobs. You want to resolve this conflict and make sure it doesn't happen again-<u>This can be achieved by using Conflict Management technique</u>

Explanation:

<u>Conflict in the workplace is inevitable and is a painful reality and is the major reason for poor productivity and frustration among the employees.If conflict is managed in a proper way it can lead to increase in employees productivity.The strategist that can be used are:-</u>

<u>1) Understand the situation. </u>

Understanding/listening both the side of the story before resolving the conflict is very important

<u>2) Acknowledge the problem. </u>

Acknowledging the frustration and concerns of the employees is an important step in resolving the conflict. what might seems to be a small problem to an employee may be a big problem for another person

<u> 3)Be patient while making decision. </u>

Information evaluation require time.Do not take any decision related to conflict management quickly,try to understand and resolve the situation.

<u>4)Avoid using coercion and intimidation. </u>

Emotional outbursts or coercing people may stop the problem temporarily, but do not fool yourself into thinking it is a long-term solution. Odds are the problem will resurface. At that point not only will you have the initial problem to deal with, but also the angry feelings that have festered below the surface during the interim.

<u>5) Focus on the problem, not the individual. </u>

Most people are known to be a “problematic individual” during their work but one must avoid their own pre-conceived notion or attitude about individuals and should focus on problem resolution.

<u>6) Establish guidelines. </u>

setting guidelines before the meeting

<u>7) Keep the communication open. </u>

Allow both the parties to keep their points on the conflict and then try to identify the real cause of conflict.

<u> 8. Act decisively. </u>

Communicating to all the parties involved, and reviewed all the circumstances, and then take your decision and act. Don’t leave the issue in limbo.

Georgina consumes only grapefruits and pineapples. Her utility function is U (x comma y )equals x to the power of 0.8 end expone

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

21

Explanation:

Given that:

The utility function U(x, y) = $x^{0.8} y^{0.2}$

The budget line income is:

105=4x +3y

The equation MRTS is:

$\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}$

where;

$MU_x(x,y) = 0.8 \times x^{0.8-1}\times y^{0.2} \\ \\ \implies 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2}$

$MU_y(x,y) = 0.2 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{0.2-1} \\ \\ \implies 0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}$

and:

$P_y= 3$

$P_x = 4$

∴

Using the equation MRTS:

$\dfrac{MU_x}{MU_y } =\dfrac{ Px}{Py}$

$\dfrac{ 0.8 \times x^{-0.2}\times y^{0.2} }{0.8 \times x^{0.8}\times y^{-0.8}} = \dfrac{4}{3}$

$\dfrac{4y }{x} = \dfrac{4}{3}$

4x = 12y

x = 12y/4

x = 3y

Replacing the value of x into the budget line income, we have:

105 = 4x + 3y

105 = 4(3y) + 3y

105 = 12y + 3y

105 = 15y

y = 105/15

y = 7

Then, from x = 3y

x = 3(7)

x = 21

Thus, she will consume 21 gapefruits
