Answer: Mutually exclusive

Explanation:

In probability theory and logic, two propositions or events are disjoint or mutually exclusive if both events cannot occur at the same time. An example is the outcomes derived from the single toss of a coin which either be head or tail

In the project example given, the theory used is called mutually exclusive since both projects can not be chosen at the same time and it is only one project at w time. Mutually exclusive events are also called independent events since they have no effect on the viability of the other options.

Environmentalists have continually argued for the use of alternatives to fossil fuels to generate energy. Harnessing wind power
son4ous [18]

Answer:

<u>Mistake of ignoring secondary effects</u>

Explanation:

Whenever there arises an adverse impact of a policy and it's implementation, owing to ignorance of secondary consequences, it is termed as ignoring secondary effects.

In short, it refers to assessing and viewing only the positive aspects of a policy or a move, meanwhile not taking into consideration the other adverse consequences which are also associated with the same policy.

In the given case, the environmentalists have only considered the generation of alternative sources of energy via windmills which will lead to preservation of fossil fuels. The proposed policy has been implemented without taking into account it's flip side i.e the harm it causes to bat population and migratory birds.

Thus, it can be stated that the environmentalists herein only considered the favorable outcome of a policy implementation and ignored the adverse effect of the same. Hence, they are said to have committed the mistake of ignoring the secondary effects.

Four hospitals are located within a city at coordinate points P1=(10,20), P2=(14,12), P3=(8,4) and P4=(32,6). The hospitals are
Illusion [34]

Answer:

The coordinates of the location of the Blood bank = ( 20.7826, 9.73913 )

Explanation:

Coordinates of the Four(4) hospitals are

P1=(10,20),   P2=(14,12),   P3=(8,4) and   P4=(32,6)

Number of deliveries to be made each year for each hospital respectively:

450,   1200,    300, and 1500

conditions :

(i) if travel is rectilinear in the city

(ii) if travel is measured in Euclidean distance.

<u>Determine where the Blood bank is to located to minimize weighted distance travelled each year </u>

find the values of the below variables :

Total load of the Hospitals( ∑load ) = 450 + 1200 + 300 + 1500 = 3450

Lx = ∑x * load = ∑ 10*450 + -------- + 32*1500 = 71700

Ly = ∑y * load = ∑ 20*450 +--------- + 6*1500 = 33600

The coordinates of the Blood bank = [ ( Lx / ( ∑load ) ) ,  Ly /  ( ∑load ) ]

                                                          =[ (71700/3450) , (33600/3450) ]

Hence The coordinates of the  location of the Blood bank = ( 20.7826, 9.73913 )

MILLS ALLOCATES MANUFACTURING OVERHEAD TO PRODUCTION BASED ON STANDARD DIRECT LABOR HOURS. MILLS REPORTED THE FOLLOWING ACTUAL R
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

1. Compute the variable overhead cost and efficiency variances and fixed overhead cost and volume variances.

  • variable overhead cost variance = $1,000 unfavorable
  • variable efficiency variance = -$1,200 favorable
  • fixed overhead costs = $1,500 unfavorable
  • fixed overhead volume variance = -$100 favorable

2. EXPLAIN (as best you can) why the variances are favorable or unfavorable. Based on cost and efficiency budget standards.

  • variable overhead cost variance is unfavorable because actual variable overhead costs per unit are higher than budgeted.
  • variable efficiency variance is favorable because the company used less direct labor hours than budgeted to produce a higher amount of units (1,600 vs. 2,000).
  • fixed overhead costs are unfavorable because total fixed overhead costs were much higher than budgeted, but most of this variance can be explained by higher output.
  • fixed overhead volume variance are favorable because a higher volume was produced using less hours than budgeted.

Explanation:

Static budget variable overhead $1,200

Actual variable overhead $4,000

Static budget fixed overhead $1,600

Actual fixed overhead $3,100

Static budget direct labor hours 800 hours

Actual direct labor hours 1,600

Static budget number of units 400 units

Actual units produced 1,000

Standard direct labor hours 2 hours per unit

Actual direct labor hours 1.6 per unit

standard variable rate = $1,200 / 400 units = $3 per unit

actual variable rate = $4,000 / 1,000 units = $4 per unit

standard fixed rate = $1,600 / 800 hours = $2 per hour

actual fixed rate = $3,100 / 1,600 hours = $1.9375 per hour

variable overhead cost variance = actual costs - (standard rate x actual units) = $4,000 - ($3 x 1,000) = $1,000 unfavorable

variable efficiency variance = (actual hours x standard rate) - (standard hours x standard rate) = (1,600 × $3) − (2,000 x $3) = $4,800 - $6,000 = -$1,200 favorable

fixed overhead costs = actual overhead costs - budgeted overhead costs = $3,100 - $1,600 = $1,500 unfavorable

fixed overhead volume variance = (actual fixed rate x actual hours) - (standard rate x actual hours) = ($1.9375 x 1,600) - ($ x 1,600) = $3,100 - $3,200 = -$100 favorable

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

After assessing the market growth potential and market competitiveness in Mexico for his company's baby products, Harold wanted to evaluate market access. To do this, Harold would consider ease of assessing or developing distribution channels and brand familiarity

<u>Explanation: </u>

Harold would, first of all, find out the ease in accessing the market. If he finds that it is easy to access the market or target the consumers than he will develop distribution channels. Distribution channels take lots of time and effort.

Than Harold will determine the brand familiarity which means he will make the consumers familiar with his company's baby products. Brand familiarity affects the consumer's information about the product.

In 2016, 59.7 percent of the adult population (253 million) was employed. If the employment rate increased to 62 percent,
kolezko [41]

Answer:

a. 5.819 million

b. $709918

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

a. Total number of adult population = 253 million

Total employed adult = 253 x 59.7% = 151.041

Number of employed adult after increase in employment rate = 253 x 62% = 156.86

More people would be working = 156.86 - 151.041 = 5.819 million

b. GDP per capita is $122,000, so increase in GDP = 5.819 x 122000

    Increase in GDP = $709918
