Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is $3,080 and for option (b) is $2,141.

Explanation:

(a). Current pay = $44

After 40 hours, Pay = $44 × 1.5 = $66

So, we can calculate the gross pay by using following formula:

Gross pay = (40 hours × $44 ) + (20 hours × $66)

= $1,760 + $1,320

= $3,080

(b).

Security Tax = Gross pay × 6% =  $3,080 × 6% = $184.8

Medicare Tax = Gross pay × 1.5% =  $3,080 × 1.5% = $46.2

Federal Income Tax = $708

So, we can calculate the net pay by using following formula:

Net Pay = $3,080 - $184.8 - $46.2 - $708

= $2,141

Drying times for newly painted microwave oven cabinets are normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 minutes and a standard deviat
Marina86 [1]

Answer: 3.22

Explanation:

Given that;

mean = 2.5 min

standard deviation = 0.25 min

now to get the value of X required, we say

z = (x - u) / a

where z is the distance from the mean measured in the standard deviation units, x is the value we are interested in, u is the mean distribution, a is the standard deviation of the distribution.

the time delay should be just enough to allow 99.8% of the cabinets to dry completely = 99.8/100 = 0.9980

first we determine an appropriate z value.

Using the standardized normal tables,

value of z for approximately 0.9980 is 2.88

so using our initial equation z = (x - u) / a

we substitute the value

z = (x - u) / a

2.88 = ( x - 2.5) / 0.25

2.88 * 0.25 = x - 2.5

0.72 = x - 2.5

x = 0.72 + 2.5

x = 3.22

the marginal product of n labor = (total product of n labor - the total product of p labor)/(n-p)............(n>p)

Marginal revenue product = marginal product*price

the firm employ input up to marginal revenue product equal to the wage

MRP = wage or closest lower wage

where W = 5

the firm will higher 5 workers.
