Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has incr

eased by 45% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. At a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only thing to be change. (Productivity remains the same.) (Hint: Each worker works 160 hours per month.)If the bakery currently makes 1,600 loaves per month with a labor productivity of 2,344 loaves per labor hour, then Lackey will need to add _____ worker(s) to meet the increased demand (recall each worker works 160 hours per month and round your response up to the next whole number).

Answer:

Note: labor productivity = 2.344 loaves per labor hour

Answer: 2 workers

Explanation:

Current production: 1600 loaves per month

Manpower hours: 160 hours a month

Productivity: 2.344 loaves per hour

To hours taken to produce 1600 loaves per month at productivity level

= 1600/2.344 = 682.59 labor hours

Each worker works 160 hours per month, ∴ total number of workers that worked for 682.59 labor hours = 682.59/160 = 4.27 workers ≈ 5 workers

(Assuming the approximation to 5 workers)

Increased demand by 45% would mean: 1.45 * 1600 = 2320 loaves per month

To hours taken to produce 2320 loaves per month at productivity level

= 2320/2.344 = 989.76 labor hours required

At a work rate of 160 hours per month: 989.76/160 = 6.19 workers ≈ 7 workers required

This would imply an addition of 2 to the existing number of 5

kow [346]

The price elasticity of baseball bats is −0.77, this indicates that the demand for bats tends to inelasticity. Therefore, if the manager wants to dispose of his inventory, he would advise you not to lower the price because it would cause a decrease in income. He could raise the price and earn more since being an inelastic demand, the quantity demanded would not be modified as much as the price would change.

Answer:

Total utility is the total amount of satisfaction derived from consuming a certain amount of a good while marginal utility is the additional satisfaction gained from consuming an additional unit of the good.

As consumption increases, total utility increases but marginal utility would begin to diminish after a certain point is reached as a result of diminishing marginal utility.
