Answer:

D) 25%

Explanation:

Productivity can be described as a measure of profitability of the work done by a company. For example a sales department may measure productivity by number of closed sales in a week.

In this instance the cleaning company will consider cost reduction an increase in productivity.

They were using 10 lbs each for house A, B, and C (30 lbs). An additional 10 lb is used increasing total chemicals used to 40 lb.

The increase in chemical usage is a drop in productivity for the company as they are spending more.

The percentage drop in productivity is a proportion of the additional quantity of chemical to total chemicals used.

Percentage drop in productivity= (10/40)*100= 25%

Jacob and Mason go to a diner that sells burritos for $5 and tacos for $3. They agree to split the lunch bill evenly. Mason choo
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$1

Explanation:

The marginal cost refers to the cost of producing one additional unit or serving one more customer.

In this case, we have to determine the additional cost of Jacob ordering a burrito instead of a taco. As Mason chose the tacos and they agreed to split the lunch bill evenly, if Jacob decides to eat the tacos, the cost for each of them is:

$3+$3=$6/2= $3

If Jacob decides to eat the burrito:

$3+$5= $8/2= $4

So, the marginal cost to Jacob ordering a burrito is:

$4-$3= $1

The Good Chocolate Company makes a variety of chocolate candies, including a 12-ounce chocolate bar (340 grams) and a box of six
joja [24]

Answer:

A) ≈ 3.509 grams

B) The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( NO )

c) 1.051 ounces

Explanation:

A) The largest standard deviation ( in grams)

This can be calculated applying the capability index formula and according to the capability index formula the value at which a process is capable is at  : 1.33

hence the largest standard deviation =  upper limit - lower limit / 6 * 1.33

 ( 354 - 326 ) / 7.98 = 3.5087 ≈ 3.509 grams

B) we first calculate the process mean and std of the box

standard deviation = \sqrt{variance }

std of the six-bar box = \sqrt{6*0.86^2}  = 2.106

process mean = 6 * ( 1.03 * 28.33) = 175.079

the mean is not centered between the upper specification and the lower specification hence we will apply the formulae used in calculating the capability index for an uncentered process

Cpk = (upper value - process mean) / (3 * std of box),

         = (187 - 175.079) / ( 3 * 2.106) = 11.921 / 6.318 = 1.89

Cpk =  (process mean -  lower value ) / (3*std of box)

       = ( 175.079 - 153 ) / (3 * 2.106) = 22.079 / 6.318 = 3.49

The process is not capable because the lowest Cpk which is 1.89 ≈ 1.9 is far from the ideal 1.33 capability index number ( N0 )

c ) lowest setting

calculate the value of the mean using capability index of 1.33

Cpk = (upper value - mean ) / 3 * std

mean = 187 - 1.33 * 3 * 2.106

           = 187 - 8.40 = 178.60 grams

Cpk = ( process mean - lower value ) / 3 * std

 mean = 1.33 * 3 * 2.106 + 153

            = 8.40 + 153 = 161.40 grams

the lowest setting in ounces

= 178.60 / ( 6 bar * 28 .33)

= 178.60 / 169.98 = 1.051 ounces
