It takes 3 minutes to load and 2 minutes to unload a machine. Inspection and packing times total 1 minute; travel between machin

es takes 2 minutes. Machines run automatically for 20 minutes. Operators cost $10 per hour; machines cost $30 per hour. Document all answers completely.

b) If three machines are assigned to an operator, what is the duration of the repeating cycle? Will any machine of operator experience idle time, if so how long?

Answer:

(a) The ideal machine assignment time is 7 minutes

(b) Duration of the repeating cycle is 25 minutes. Yes, there will be idle operator time of 7 minutes

(c) Cost per unit produced if three machines are assigned to an operator is $13.88 per unit

Explanation:

Loading = 3 minutes

Unloading = 2 minutes

Run time = 20 minutes

Inspection and packing times = 1 minute

Operators cost $10 per hour

Machines cost $30 per hour

(a) Ideal machine assignment = Machine cycle time ÷ Operator time per machine

Here, Machine cycle time = run time + load time + unload time

= 20 + 3 + 2

= 25  minutes

Operator time per machine = load time + unload time + inspection and packing time = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6

Hence, Ideal machine assignment = 25 ÷ 6 = 4.166=4.17 machine

(b) The number of machine assigned is less than ideal machine assignment hence, Operator will be idle.

Duration of repeating cycle = loading time + unloading time + machine run time = 3+2+20 = 25 minutes

Idle operator time = Cycle time - (number of machines assigned × (load time+ unload time+ inspection and packaging time))= 25- [3×(3+2+1)]

=25-18

=7 minutes

(c) Total cost of per unit produced = ((cost per operator hour + number of machines assigned × cost of per machine hour) × ((loading & unloading time + machine run time)÷60) )) ÷ number of machine

=( (10+[3×30]) × ((3+2+20) ÷ 60)) ÷ 3

=(100 × .416) ÷ 3

= 25 ÷ 3

= $13.88 per unit.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: Investment Value

Explanation:

The Investment value of a project is the amount that an investor believes the project is worth to them. There are certain parameters to decide this but the most important is the potential rate of return.

The Potential rate of return tells the investor how much they can expect as returns should they invest in such a project. If it is high, the investment value will be high as well.

Suppose that the government is considering a tax of $12 per bottle of champagne. Calculate each of the following: i. The change
galben [10]

Answer:

i. The equilibrium quantity will shift towards the left side of Demand Supply curve.

ii. The Price Buyer pay (PB) will increase by $6.

iii. The net price seller receive will decrease by $12.

iv. Consumer Surplus will decrease.

v. Producer Surplus will decrease.

vi. Government Revenue will be total decrease in Consumer and Produce surplus minus the dead weight loss.

Explanation:

i. The consumer only cares about the price that is charged to him. So when tax is passed on to consumer in form of increase in price, then the demand curve will shift left.

Usually in order to control the shift, the supplier only passes a portion of the tax to the consumer, and pays the rest himself. So in that case the supplier will get less money. So, the supplier curve will also shift upwards.

So the quantity traded will shift towards left.

ii. It depends upon the tax that is transferred by supplier to the consumer. So if supplier decides to transfer half of the tax to consumer, the PB will increase by $6.

iii. Price received by the supplier will be reduced by the amount to tax payed by the consumer, with is $6. And the supplier will also have to pay $6 tax himself. So total PS will reduce by $12.

iv. The consumer surplus will reduce by the amount of revenue that went to government in form of tax revenue, and inform of the dead weight loss, that is the lost quality traded due to decreased demand. It can be calculated as

ConsumerSurplusLost = (Increase In PB)*(Qe_{new} ) + \frac{1}{2}*(Increase In PB)*(Q_{eOld}-Q_{eNew})

v. Similarly the supplier surplus will be reduced by the amount of revenue that went to government in form of tax revenue, and inform of the dead weight loss, that is the lost quality traded due to decreased demand. It can be calculated as

ProducerSurplusLost = (Decrease In PS)*(Qe_{new} ) + \frac{1}{2}*(Decrease in PS)*(Q_{eOld}-Q_{eNew}

vi. Government tax will be the loss of consumer and producer surplus minus the dead weight loss that is the lost quality traded due to decreased demand. It can be written in equation form as:

TaxRevenue = (PB - PS)*(Qe_{new} )

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is (b)

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is a macroeconomic indicator that explains the current situation of the economy. It is a share of the labour force that is jobless. If the unemployment rate is higher than unanticipated the overall prices generally go down that leads to a decrease in the stock prices. A high unemployment rate leads to a decrease in overall purchasing power.
