Answer: 3

Explanation:

Printers are said to be working at a constant rate with 6 printers working for 12 hours. This means in other to achieve a similar output with 1 printer;

12 hours × 6 = 72 hours

Total hours required to complete printing = 72 hours

Assuming adding more printers working at constant rate in other to reduce completion hours to 8

Total completion hours ÷ number of printers = 8 hours

72 ÷ number of printers = 8

Nunber of printers = 9

Therefore, number of printers that must be added = 9 - 6 = 3

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

Today:

Number of printers = 6

Work duration = 12 hours

Tomorrow:

Work duration = 8 hours

At the same rate of printing,

If 6 printer were used to print newspapers for 12 hours.

Only 1 printer will work for 12 × 6 hours at the same rate

But is the printers were 8, (12 × 6)/8

= 9 printers.

Initial number of printers = 6 printers

Additional printers to be purchased = 9 - 6

= 3 printers

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$0 because an agreement to accept different performance in lieu of full payment of liquidated debt is binding.

Explanation:

Since there is an agreement between Amy, a baker, and her brother, she owes him $0.

At first, Amy gets a loan of $3,000 from her brother to pay for her dream home. She agrees to pay him back in one year, and that agreement was binding. During the time to pay back the loan, Amy offers to bake her brother's wedding cake instead of paying back the loan and her brother accepts. This has presented a new agreement that overrules the previous agreement. Now instead of paying back the $3,000, she would bake a wedding cake for him. This implies that the wedding cake is equal to $3,000.

Therefore, she owes him $0.

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

A) Shortage, B) Fall in Price

Explanation:

A] Market is at equilibrium where - downward sloping Market Demand (inversely related to price), & upward sloping Market Supply (directly related to price) - are equal &  these curves intersect each other.

Above condition gives us equilibrium price & quantity.

If market price < equilibrium price, as given case 15 < 20. Then, supply being directly related to price is lesser, demand being inversely related to price is higher. So, there is a situation of excess demand, ie <u>shortage </u>(graphically denoted by distance between demand & supply curve at actual price below equilibrium price)

B] Dealers of hybrid vehicles increase imply increase in supply of these vehicles, rightwards shift in the supply curve. This creates excess supply ie surplus of them. It implies that competition among sellers lead to <u>fall in price </u>of these hybrid vehicles.

A company uses 10000 pounds of materials for which it paid $2 a pound. The materials price variance was $5000 unfavorable. What
boyakko [2]

Answer:

$1.5 per pound

Explanation:

The computation of the material price variance is shown below:

Material price variance = Actual Quantity ×  Actual Price - Actual Quantity × Standard Price

$5,000 = 10,000 pounds × $2 - 10,000 pounds × Standard price

$5,000 = $20,000 - 10,000 pounds × Standard price

So, the standard price would be

= $15,000 ÷ 10,000 pounds

= $1.5 per pound
