Answer: This is because the marginal rate of technical substitution is the ratio of the marginal product of labour to that of capital and for the output to be constant opportunity cost comes in, one input has to be reduced to increase the other input.
Explanation:
The marginal rate of technical substitution (MRTS) shows the amount by which the quantity of an input can be lowered when an extra unit of another input is utilized on order for the output to remain constant.
The marginal rate of technical substitution is likely to reduce as more capital is substituted for labor because the marginal rate of technical substitution is the ratio of the marginal product of labour to that of capital and for the output to be constant opportunity cost comes in, one input has to be reduced to increase the other input.
Answer:
26.67
Explanation:
Processing Time = 2 sec + 3 sec + 2 min + 10 sec
2 minutes = 2 x 60seconds = 120
Processing time = 120 + 2+ 3 + 10
= 135 sec
Process Capacity
= 1/135 x 60 (sec/min)
= 0.007407 x 60
= 0.44444
0.44444 x 60 (min/hr)
= 26.67
Answer:
A) Sell short 100 ABC at 69.45 Stop
Explanation:
When an order is placed below the market (OBLOSS - Open Buy Limits Open Sell Stops) it will be adjusted on the specialist's book for distributions on ex date. This open sell stop order = $70 - $0.55 (dividend) = $69.45
So the adjusted order will be: Sell short 100 ABC at 69.45 stop.
Answer:
At 1.783 or more, the conversion yield better gain than sales the corn
Explanation:
The ethanol conversion become attractive if the cost for doing the conversion are lower than the sale revenue for the product.
<u>total cost: raw materials + conversion cost</u>
corn price: $ 3.75
conversion cost: $ 1.60
Total cost: $ 5.35
<u>output: gallon of ethanol per bushel</u>
3 gallons of ethanol per bushel
total cost / output = 5.35/3 = 1.783 cost per gallon
Answer:
the minimum price it should charge is $40 per unit.
Explanation:
Minimum Transfer Price = Variable Costs - Internal Savings + Opportunity Cost
<em>Note : Division A has capacity available to meet B's requirements therefore there is no opportunity cost</em>.
There are Internal savings of $5 as A's variable costs will be $5 less per unit.
Minimum Transfer Price = $45 - $5
= $40
