Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.
Month
1 2 3 4
Throughput time (days) ? ? ? ?
Delivery cycle time (days) ? ? ? ?
Manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) ? ? ? ?
Percentage of on-time deliveries 78 % 73 % 70 % 67 %
Total sales (units) 2330 2230 2116 2036
Management has asked for your help in computing throughput time, delivery cycle time, and MCE. The following average times have been logged over the last four months:
Average per Month (in days)
1 2 3 4
Move time per unit 0.8 0.4 0.5 0.5
Process time per unit 3.4 3.2 3.0 2.8
Wait time per order before start of production 23.0 25.2 30.0 32.3
Queue time per unit 4.3 5.1 6.0 7.0
Inspection time per unit 0.6 0.9 0.9 0.6
Answer:

Answer:
The correct answer is:
$4 (D.)
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that:
the price of halvah (MUH)= $12
the price of pomegranates (MUP)= ????
Next, we are also told that the optimal consumption ratio of MUH to MUP = 3
This means that the Mauginal Utility of halvah (H) to the marginal utility of pomegranates (P) = 3
MUH/MUP = 3
12/MUP = 3
MUP =
MUP = $4
