Answer:

True

Explanation:

A high cost-to-weight ratio means the product is expensive but does not weigh much.

Santoyo Corporation keeps careful track of the time required to fill orders. Data concerning a particular order appear below:

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

The delivery cycle time was 26.9

Explanation:

The delivery cycle time is computed as:

Delivery cycle time = Wait time + Throughput time

where

Wait time is 13.6

The formula for computing the throughput time is as:

Throughput time = Move time + Process time + Queue time + Inspection time

where

Move time is 3.3

Process time is 2.7

Queue time is 7.0

Inspection time is 0.3

Putting values above:

Throughput time = 3.3 + 2.7 + 7.0 + 0.3

Throughput time = 13.3

Now, putting both the values above:

Delivery cycle time = 13.6 + 13.3

Delivery cycle time = 26.9

A cylindrical can that has a capacity of 20 m3 will be made. The metal used to build the top costs $10 per square meter while th

Alchen [17]

The dimensions of the cylinder can be used to minimise cost of manufacture.

<h3>How to we find minimised cost?</h3>

Let's ignore the metal's thickness and assume that the material cost to manufacture is precisely proportionate to the surface area of a perfect cylinder.

A=2πr(r+h)

Given that V=1000=r2h and h=1000=r2, we can write

A=2πr(r+1000πr2)

A=2πr2+2000r−1

By setting the derivative to zero, we may determine the value of r that minimises A:

A′=4πr−2000r−2

0=4πr−2000r−2

2000r−2=4πr

2000=4πr3

r=500π−−−√3

r=5.419 + cm

h=1000πr2=10.838 + cm

The can with the smallest surface area has a volume of 1000 cm 3 and measures 5.419+ cm in radius and 10.838+ cm in height. The can has a surface area of 553.58 cm 2. Given a constant volume, the cylinder with diameter equal to height has the least surface area.

Can surface area (cm2) versus. radius (cm), where capacity = 1000cm 3.

Suppose Germany, a large country, imposes a tariff on tuna imports. Before the tariff, all the countries in the world are engage

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. This is true.

The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.

2. This is true.

German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.

3. This statement is false.

The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.

4. This statement is true.

If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.

5. This is false.

Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.

Astair, Inc. reported sales of $6,000,000 for the month and incurred variable expenses totaling $4,600,000 and fixed expenses to

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Break-even point in units= 78,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed cost= $940,000

Total contribution margin= (6,000,000 - 4,600,000)= $1,400,000

Unitary contribution margin= 1,400,000 / 70,000= $20

Desired profit= $620,000

<u>To calculate the number of units to be sold, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (940,000 + 620,000) / 20

Break-even point in units= 78,000
