Answer:

a. 32 secs

b. 3.75 or 4

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

(a) Cycle Time is

= Operation time per week ÷  output per week

= (40 hours × 60 × 60) ÷ (4,500)

= 32 secs

(b) And, the Theoretical minimum number of workstations required  is

= Sum of total task times ÷ cycle time

= (22 + 30 + 15 + 14 + 12 + 27) ÷ (32 sec)

= 3.75  or 4

By applying the above formulas we can get the cycle time and the theoretical minimum number of work stations

Banks decide to hold more excess reserves.

Option - a

<u>Explanation: </u>

The expanded currency holding would boost the deposit rate, increasing the liquidity multiplier and decrease the money supply.

c. The Fed is selling gold to public

Gold selling to the public have the same impact as open market bond purchases — it decreases the economic base and thus the money supply fall.

If the opportunity cost of manufacturing machinery is lower in the United States than in Britain and the opportunity cost of man
kogti [31]

Answer:

.a. import sweaters from Britain and export machinery to Britain.

Explanation:

A lower opportunity cost of manufacturing a particular goods means that a country uses fewer inputs in production compared to other nations.  The country can produce more quantities of the product using similar factors of production. A lower opportunity cost in manufacturing will make a country's output cheaper compared to when that product is manufactured in other nations.

Varying production costs form the basis of international trade. A County imports commodities that are produced cheaply elsewhere and exports the goods it can manufacture at a lower cost. The united states can produce machinery at a lower cost than Britain.  Britain will be prudent to import machinery from the united states rather than produce.  Britain produces sweaters using fewer inputs that the US. The US will find importing  sweaters from Britain more economical compared to manufacturing.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Compensatory Damages

Explanation:

Based on this scenario it can be said that Donald is entitled to Compensatory Damages. This is a lawsuit that covers the loss that the non-breaching party incurred as a result of the breach of contract. In this scenario, Donald's employer breached the contract by firing Donald before the twelve months. Therefore Donald can sue for compensatory damages which would be the amount of money that he would have made in the rest of the twelve months.
