A labor-intensive process to manufacture a product has a fixed cost of $338,000 and a variable cost of $143 per unit. An automat

ed process for the same product has a fixed cost of $1,244,000 and a variable cost of $92.50 per unit. How many units must be produced and sold at $197 each for the automated process to be the preferred over the labor-intensive process?

Answer:

no of unit is 17941

Explanation:

given data

fixed cost = $338,000

variable cost = $143 per unit

fixed cost = $1,244,000  

variable cost = $92.50 per unit

solution

we consider here no of unit is = n

so here total cost of labor will be sum of fix and variable cost i.e

total cost of labor = $33800 + $143 n  ..........1

and

total cost of capital intensive  = $1,244,000 + $92.5 n   ..........2

so here in both we prefer cost of capital if cost of capital intensive less than cost of labor

$1,244,000 + $92.5 n  <  $33800 + $143 n

solve we get

n > \frac{906000}{50.5}

n > 17941

and

cost of producing less than selling cost so here

$1,244,000 + $92.5 n < 197 n

solve it we get

n > \frac{1244000}{104.5}  

n > 11904

so in both we get greatest no is 17941

so no of unit is 17941

In contouring, it is necessary to measure position and not velocity for feedback.
EastWind [94]

Answer:

(1). False, (2). True, (3). False, (4). False, (5). True.

Explanation:

The term ''contouring'' in this question does not have to do with makeup but it has to deal with the measurement of all surfaces in planes. It is a measurement in which the rough and the contours are being measured. So, let us check each questions again.

(1). In contouring, it is necessary to measure position and not velocity for feedback.

ANSWER : b =>False. IT IS NECESSARY TO MEASURE BOTH FOR FEEDBACK.

(2). In contouring during 2-axis NC machining, the two axes are moved at the same speed to achieve the desired contour.

ANSWER: a=> True.

(3). Job shop is another term for process layout.

ANSWER: b => False

JOB SHOP IS A FLEXIBLE PROCESS THAT IS BEING USED during manufacturing process and are meant for job Production. PROCESS LAYOUT is used in increasing Efficiency.

(4). Airplanes are normally produced using group technology or cellular layout.

ANSWER: b => False.

(5). In manufacturing, value-creating time is greater than takt time.

ANSWER: a => True.

The electron concentration in silicon at T = 300 K is given by
puteri [66]

Answer:

E=1.44*10^-7-2.6exp(\frac{-x}{18} )v/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Temperature of silicon T=300k

Electron concentration n(x)=10^{16}\exp (\frac{-x}{18})

                                        \frac{dn}{dx}=(10^{16} *(\frac{-1}{16})\exp\frac{-x}{16})

Electron diffusion coefficient is Dn = 25cm^2/s \approx 2.5*10^{-3}

Electron mobility is \mu n = 960 cm^2/V-s \approx0.096m/V

Electron current density Jn = -40 A/cm^2 \approx -40*10^{4}A/m^2

Generally the equation for the semiconductor is mathematically given by

Jn=qb_n\frac{dn}{dx}+nq \mu E

Therefore

-40*10^{4}=1.6*10^{-19} *(2.5*10^{-3})*(10^{16} *(\frac{-1}{16})\exp\frac{-x}{16})+(10^{16}\exp (\frac{-x}{18}))*1.6*10^{-19}*0.096* E

E=\frac{-2.5*10^-^7 exp(\frac{-x}{18})+40*10^{4}}{1.536*10^-4exp(\frac{-x}{18} )}

E=1.44*10^-7-2.6exp(\frac{-x}{18} )v/m

What are the advantages of studying a scheduled course over a more freeform one?
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Taking responsibility for your own learning makes it easier to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Once these have been identified you can work on a learning plan that focuses on the areas that you need most help with, increasing the speed of your learning, and build the skills you have been trying to perfect.
