Tara and Levi are trying to decide between homeowners insurance policies offered by two different agencies. AAA Insurance has of

nlexa [21]

Given:
House valued at $ 425,000
AAA Insurance: $0.38 per 100 with a $500 deductible
425,000 / 100 = 4,250
4,250 x 0.38 = 1,615 annual premium

Thompson’s insurance: $0.26 per 100 with a $1000 deductible
425,000 / 100 = 4,250
4,250 x 0.26 = 1,105 annual premium
If an incident occurs that results to damage or loss to their home, the couple shall shell out 500 before AA Insurance can take over payment for expenses. On the other hand, the couple will shoulder 1,000 before Thompson’s insurance take over payment for expenses in the event there is an incident that results to damage or loss to their home.

c. Thompson’s Insurance is cheaper even if Tara and Levi experience an incident that results in severe damage or loss to their home.

A plant produces 500 units/hour of an item with dimensions of 4” x 6” x 2”. The manager wants to store two weeks of supply in co

mart [117]

Answer:

564 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

To account for the extra space between units, we can add 2" to every unit dimension and every box dimension to figure the number of units per box.

Doing that, we find the storage box dimensions (for calculating contents) to be ...

3 ft 2 in × 4 ft 2 in × 2 ft 2 in = 38 in × 50 in × 26 in

and the unit dimensions to be ...

(4+2)" = 6" × (6+2)" = 8" × (2+2)" = 4"

A spreadsheet can help with the arithmetic to figure how many units will fit in the box in the different ways they can be arranged. (See attached)

When we say the "packing" is "462", we mean the 4" (first) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 3' (first) dimension of the storage box; the 6" (second) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 4' (second) dimension of the storage box; and the 2" (third) dimension of the unit is aligned with the 2' (third) dimension of the storage box. The "packing" numbers identify the unit dimensions, and their order identifies the corresponding dimension of the storage box.

We can see that three of the four allowed packings result in 216 units being stored in a storage box.

If storage boxes are stacked 4 deep in a 9' space, the 2' dimension must be the vertical dimension, and the floor area of each stack of 4 boxes is 3' × 4' = 12 ft². There are 216×4 = 864 units stored in each 12 ft² area.

If we assume that 2 weeks of production are 80 hours of production, then we need to store 80×500 = 40,000 units. At 864 units per 12 ft² of floor space, we need ceiling(40,000/864) = 47 spaces on the floor for storage boxes. That is ...

47 × 12 ft² = 564 ft²

of warehouse floor space required for storage.
