The storm lasted as long as it takes rice to cook” is an example of:
"Event Time"
This is a beautiful example and often is used to explain the length of an event as cooking of rice is a metaphor used that it can take hours or vary in its duration so does the storm.

I believe this is an example of a metaphor or using an expression which does not literally relate to the subject at hand although in this case we know that in a rice cooker it takes only about 20 minutes to cook the rice so though cooking rice and a storm do not normally relate to each other, in the time aspect they may relate.

There would a shift to the right of the supply curve. The equilibrium price would decrease and the equilibrium quantity would increase.

<h3>What is the impact of technological improvement?</h3>

Technological improvement in the production process means that there is an advancement or update in the technologies that are used in the production process. For example, progress from storing information in files to storing information in the cloud is an example of technological improvement.

A technological improvement in the production of a good would make it easier to produce a good. Thus, the supply curve would move forward.

Equilibrium quantity would increase. Due to the increase in quantity supplied, price has to decline in order to induce consumers to buy more of the product. Equilibrium price would decrease.

Sheridan Company applied FIFO to its inventory and got the following results for its ending inventory. Cameras 113 units at a co

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Ending inventory is $24,917.

Explanation:

Lower-of-cost-or-net realizable value method implies that whichever is lower between the cost per unit and the net realizable value per unit is used to value the ending inventory of an item.

The ending inventory can therefore be determined as follows:

For Cameras:

Units = 113

Cost per unit = $61

net realizable value per unit = $74

We choose cost per unit since it is lower and we have:

Cameras ending inventory = 113 * $61 = $6,893

For Blu-ray players:

Units = 153

Cost per unit = $77

net realizable value per unit = $50

We choose net realizable value per unit since it is lower and we have:

Blu-ray players ending inventory = 153 * $50 = $7,650

For iPods:

Units = 133

Cost per unit = $86

net realizable value per unit = $78

We choose net realizable value per unit since it is lower and we have:

iPods ending inventory = 133 * $78 = $10,374

Calculation of ending inventory:

Ending inventory = Cameras ending inventory + Blu-ray players ending inventory + iPods ending inventory = $6,893 + $7,650 + $10,374 = $24,917

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Cost advantage.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Sweetmeats Inc., a deli, produces its own grains, such as corn, wheat, rice, and oats. The employees create different types of breads without having to buy the grains from other sources. This has helped them sell their bread items to customers at much lower prices than other neighboring delis. This scenario best illustrates a cost advantage.

Cost advantage can be defined as the factors, benefits or edge which an organization has to produce its goods and services at a cheaper rate and better quality, over its competitors or rivals in the same industry. Some of these factors include availability of raw materials, branding, skillful workforce, intellectual property, quality distribution channels, favorable location, great customer services, superior technology, etc.

Automobile repair costs continue to rise with the average cost now at $367 per repair.† Assume that the cost for an automobile r

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

a) 0.1728

b) 0.09183

c) 0.7354

d) $ 222.25

Explanation:

Given

mean = $\mu$ = $367

Standard deviation = $\sigma$ =$88

Cost of automobile repair is normally distributed.

a) We have to find P( x > 450 )

P( x > 450 ) = 1 - P( x <= 450 )

Using excel function, P( x <= x ) = NORMDIST (x, $\mu$ , $\sigma$ , 1 )

P( x > 450 ) = 1 - NORMDIST( 450 , 367, 88, 1 )

= 1 - 0.8272 = 0.1728

P( x > 450 ) = 0.1728

b) P( x < 250 ) = NORMDIST( 250 , 367, 88, 1 ) = 0.09183

P( x < 250 ) = 0.09183

c) P( 250 < x < 450 ) = P( x <450 ) - P( x < 250 )

P( x <450 ) = NORMDIST( 450 , 367, 88, 1 ) = 0.8272

P( x < 250 ) = NORMDIST( 250 , 367, 88, 1 ) = 0.09183

P( 250 < x < 450 ) = 0.8272 - 0.09183 = 0.7354

P( 250 < x < 450 ) = 0.7354

d) We have P( X < a ) = 0.05

We have to find a.

Using Excel, = NORMINV ( Probability, $\mu$ , $\sigma$ )

a = NORMINV ( 0.05 , 367, 88 ) = 222.2529

Cost = $ 222.25
