The Friendly Sausage Factory (FSF) can produce hot dogs at a rate of 5,500 per day. FSF supplies hot dogs to local restaurants a

t a steady rate of 260 per day. The cost to prepare the equipment for producing hot dogs is $66. Annual holding costs are 46 cents per hot dog. The factory operates 296 days a year. a. Find the optimal run size. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Optimal run size b. Find the number of runs per year. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Number of runs c. Find the length (in days) of a run. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Run length (in days)

Answer:

a. 5218 hot dogs

b. 18 runs per year

c. 1 day per run

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Let n represent the number of hotdogs in an optimal run. The number of runs needed in a year is ...

r = (260 hotdogs/day)·(365 days/year)/(n hotdogs/run) = 94900/n runs/year

The number of hotdogs in storage decreases from n at the end of a run to 0 just before a run. The decrease is linear, so the average number in storage is n/2.

We can go to the trouble to write the equation for total cost, then differentiate it to find the value of n at the minimum, or we can just jump to the solution. That solution is ...

holding cost = setup cost

(n/2)·0.46 = (94900/n)·66

n^2 = 94900·66·2/0.46 = 27,232,173.9

n ≈ 5218.446

The optimal number of hotdogs in a run is 5218.

___

(b) The number of runs needed per year is (from part (a)) ...

r = 94900/5218 ≈ 18.187

The number of runs per year is 18.

___

(c) The run lenght is 5218 hotdogs, and the run produces them at the rate of 5500 hotdogs/day, so the run length in days is ...

(5218 hotdogs)/(5500 hotdogs/day) = 0.9487 days

The run length is 1 day.

Which of the quadratic functions has the narrowest graph?
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{8}x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic function has the formula ax² + bx + c

  • To determine if a graph will be narrow or wide, the leading coefficient, a, will be the factor that determines this
  • The greater the coefficient, the narrower the parabola
  • The lesser the coefficient, the wider the parabola

Here all of the functions are in the form ax²

  • In y=\frac{1}{8}x^{2}, our "a" term is \frac{1}{8}
  • In y = -2x², our "a" term is -2
  • In y = -3x², our "a" term is -3
  • In y=\frac{1}{3}x^{2}, our "a" term is \frac{1}{3}

We can eliminate the two functions with the negative coefficients because they are much smaller than the two functions with the fractions as coefficients, and will therefore open much wider.

We can now compare the two remaining functions, y=\frac{1}{8}x^2 and  y=\frac{1}{3}x^2

  • Giving the two fractions common denominators would turn them into y = \frac{3}{24}x^2 and y=\frac{8}{24} x^2
  • The equation with the larger fraction will be the parabola that is the narrowest. In this case, it is the y=\frac{8}{24} x^2.
  • Therefore, y=\frac{1}{8}x^2 will have the narrowest graph

Suppose thatthe monthly cost, in dollars, of producing x chairs is C(x) =0.001x3 + 0.07x2 + 19x +700, and currently 25chairs are
aev [14]

Answer:

Given the cost function of chair produced monthly as

C(x) =0.001x³ + 0.07x² + 19x +700

where x =no of chairs produced

a) Current monthly cost?

For x=25, C = 0.001 (25)³ + 0.07(25)² + 19(25) +700

  C = 15.625+43.75+475+700

  C = $1234.38

b) additional cost of the increasing production to 26 chairs monthly?

   that is C(26) - C(25) = ?

For C(26) = 0.001 (26)³ + 0.07(26)² + 19(26) +700

  C(26) =$1258.89

C(26) - C(25) = $24.52

c) the marginal cost when x=25?

 This is dC/dx = 0.003x² + 0.14x +19

Marginal Cost at x =25,  =  0.003(25)² + 0.14(25) +19

= $24.375/chair

d) To estimate the difference in cost between producing 25 and 27 chairs per month?

we will find dC/dx(27)?

Marginal Cost at x =27,  =  0.003(27)² + 0.14(27) +19

  C(27) = $81.83/chair

For increase in chairs per month = 2,

The difference in cost between C(25) and C(27), = ($81.83 - $24.375) x 2 =$114.91

e)  To predict C(27) = ?

From (d) to predict this, it means for a single chair, we have the cost as $57.454/chair

so for 27 chairs, the cost will be $57.454 x 27 = $1551.26/month
