Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Constant returns to scale production function: When there is an increase in inputs (i.e capital and labor) as a result output increases by the same proportion.

For example: If the amounts of equipment and workers are both doubled in the production of bread then as a result the output of bread also doubled.

Suppose the capital and labor increases by 10% then as a result output also increases by 10%.

Which of the following is not a qualitative factor to be considered in a make-or-buy decision?
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

A) Possible lost jobs from buying outside

Explanation:

In a make-or-buy decision,   technical aspects directly related to manufacturing are those that come into play: costs, schedules, quality, among others. A classic example is Apple. Because of the advantages in costs, quality, schedules and other aspects, Apple chooses to manufacture its products in China instead of manufacturing themselves or with a third party in the US, despite the loss of jobs that it generates.

A friend of Mr. Richards recently won a law suit for $30 million. They have the ability to either take the payments over 10 year
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A friend of Mr. Richards recently won a law suit for $30 million. They can either take the payments over 10 years or settle today for cash of $25 million. Mr. Richard is optimistic that he can earn a 6% return on the money and that they should settle for $25 million today and he will invest it for them.

First, we need to find the present value of the 30 million.

To do that we need to calculate the final value.

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {3,000,000*[(1.06^10)-1]}/0.06= 39,542,385

PV= FV/(1+i)^n= 39,542,385/1.06^10= 22,080,261

B) Now we know that the present value of option B is higher. One dollar today is better than one dollar tomorrow. It is better to receive the money now to invest it.

Markland First National Bank of Rolla utilizes Kanban techniques in its check processing facility. The fol-lowing information is
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

the current daily demand of the check processing facility is 8000 units, and a 16 containers is required.

Explanation:

Solution

Given that,

(A) The calculation of delay demand is as follows:

K = (<u>+_</u>) (<u>1 +)</u> C

K = is the number of containers

d = the average delay demand

w = the waiting time per average per unit

p = the average processing time per unit

C = Container quantity

α = safe guard policy variable

Now,

The average processing  time = 2/24 * 60 =0.0167

The average waiting time is = 2/24 =0.083

The required number of container  = 20 = (0.083 + 0.0167 ) (1 + 0.25) /50

which is

20 * 50 = (0.1) (1.25)

Thus,

1000 / 0.125 = 8000

Now,

The average daily demand is 8000

The next step is to find out how many containers would be needed.

Now,

If there is no waste, it is = 0

The required  number of containers will be =

K = 8000 ( 0.083 + 0.0167) ( 1 + 0 )/ 50

= 8000/5= 16 Containers
