Answer:

$\large\boxed{\large\boxed{\text{The capacity of the entire five-step process is 30 units per hour}}}$

Explanation:

The rate of production is determined by the slowest step or process.

Determine the rate of production of each step.

1. The Cutting department has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 6 × 1 unit / 2 minute = 3 units / minute

2. Drilling has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 3 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 6 × 1 unit / 3 minute = 2 units / minute

3. Stamping has 6 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 6 × 1 unit / 4 minute = 1.5 units / minute

4. Welding has 4 machines that each process materials at a rate of 2 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 4 × 1 unit / 2 minute = 2 units / minute

5. Painting has 2 machines that each process materials at a rate of 4 minutes per unit.

rate = number of machines × rate of each machince

rate = 2 × 1 unit / 4 minute = 0.5 units / minute

Then, the fifth process, painting is the slowest process because it only can process 0.5 units per minute. This is the bottleneck. Even if the other processes worked faster, the production could not exceed the number of machines that can be painted per hour.

To find how many units can be painted or produced by hour multiply the rate by the number of minutes in one hour:

0.5 units/min × 60 min/hour = 30 units / hour.

Therefore, the capacity of the entire five-step process is 30 units per hour.

Degger [83]

The correct answer is difficulty raising funds.

If a business is owned by a partnership, the company is limited to the amount of money that the partners have to invest. This is different from corporation, because when this type of business needs for funds they can sell more stock.

Suppose you have $10,000 in cash and you decide to borrow another $10,000 at a(n)6% interest rate to invest in the stock market.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

D)-26%

Explanation:

The computation of the realized return on your investment is shown below:

= (Rate of return × total investment) - (interest paid)

= (-10% × $20,000) - (6% × $1,000)

= (-$2000 - $600)

= -$2,600

Now the Rate of return is

=(-$2,600 ÷ $10,000)

= -26%

hence, the realized return on your investment is -26%

Therefore the correct option is D.
