ikadub [295]

Answer:

Economies of scale

Explanation:

Economies of scale refers to reducing total costs per unit by increasing total output. All companies have certain fixed costs, some companies have higher fixed costs than others, but they always exist. When you are producing something, the cost equation is production costs = variable costs per unit + average fixed costs per unit.

Variable costs vary directly with output, while fixed costs do not, e.g. salaries can be fixed, depreciation, rent, interests, etc. The higher the output, the lower the average fixed cost per unit.

Also, sometimes variable costs can also decrease as total output increases. E.g. you can get higher discounts for purchasing larger quantities of materials and supplies.

If bonds with a face value of $208,000 are issued at 97, the amount of cash proceeds is ____
madam [21]

Answer:

C) $201,760

Explanation:

To compute the amount of cash proceeds, we have to multiply the bonds face value with the issued price percentage.  

Since only issue price is given, so we assume it is in percentage form because the number of shares is not given in the question. So, we assume this.  

In mathematically,  

Cash proceeds = Face value × 0.97

                          = $208,000 × 0.97

                          = $201,760

Quickbrush Paint Company is developing a linear program to determine the optimal quantities of ingredient A and ingredient B to
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

A. 0.9x + 0.3y ≤ 10,000

Explanation:

Given

x \to oil based plant

y \to water based plant

The data can be represented in tabular form as:

\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {A} & {B}  & {x} & {90\%} & {10\%}  & {y} & {30\%} & {70\%} & {} & {10000} & {5000}\ \end{array}

Considering only A, we have the following constraints:

A \to 90\% * x + 30\% * y

A \to 0.9x + 0.3y

Since the company currently has 10000 of A.

The above constraint implies that, the mixture cannot exceed 10000.

So, we have:

A \to 0.9x + 0.3y \le 10000

<em>Hence, (A) is correct</em>
