Answer:
Economical thickness is 3.823 units
<u>Explanation:</u>
Insulation Annual Cost=2000+650t
Energy cost of heat loss=19000*(t) ^ (-0.5)
Total annual Cost=2000+650t+19000t ^ (-0.5)
<u>We need to find optimum value of thickness such that Total annual cost is minimum.</u> Therefore, we have dC/dt=0 and d^C/dt^2>0
Equation 1)
...........dC/dt=650-9500t^-1.5
Equation 2)
...........d^C/dt^2=4750t^-1.5
<u>For 1) </u>we have 650-9500t^(-1.5)=0
650/9500=t^-0.5
190/13=t^0.5
t=3.823 units
Hence, if we check for obtained value of "t" we have second order condition met then
d^2C/dt^2=4750*(3.823)^(-1.5)=635.4584551>0 by the way for any value of "t">0 we will suffice second order condition
Hence, economical thickness is 3.823 units
Market circumstances that make a focused low-cost or focused differentiation strategy attractive are characterized by:
a. an industry has few or no segments and market niches, thereby precluding the choice of an attractive niche suited to a company's resource strengths and capabilities.
b. high costs or increased difficulty for multisegment rivals to meet the specialized needs of the target market niche and at the same time satisfy the expectations of their mainstream customers.
c. Intense competition from industry leaders in the niche or focused segment.
d. a target market niche that is too small to be profitable and offers low growth potential.
e. few, if any, rivals are attempting to specialize in the same target segment.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Since the question was incomplete before, we find the answer by matching it to the question;
In Market circumstances that make a <u>focused low-cost or focused differentiation strategy</u> attractive are characterized by An industry that has few or no segments and market niches, thereby precluding the choice of an attractive niche suited to a company's resource strengths and capabilities.
Answer: Because the issuer official no longer holds elected office, the contribution limits of Rule G-37 do not apply.
Explanation:
Rule G-37 is a way to ensure that Municipal Issuers are not unduly influenced by those who donated to their campaigns to get into a position to become Municipal Issuers.
It prohibites for 2 years, Municipal Finance Professionals (MFP) amongst others from engaging in municipal securities business with a Municipal issuer.
An exception however, is that if the MFP is entitled to a vote for the Official in question, they can donate no more than $250 per election.
Seeing as the Municipal Issuer Officer has lost her position, the MFP need not worry about this $250 limit as it no longer applies to her. The MFP is free to donate $500 to the "clean-up" campaign.
Answer: Theory X
Explanation: In simple words, theory X refers to the management style in which the manager assumes that his or her subordinates are inefficient and irresponsible workers who need strict disciplinary monitoring.
In such a management style, the managers oversee every step that their subordinates takes and do not give them authority to make decisions. Promotion and other such kinds of appraisals are completely dependent on tangible results.
This kind of management and leaderships style is usually used for employees who have less work experience and needs strict management guidance.
