Complete Question:

You are considering the purchase of a new machine to help produce a new product line being introduced. The machine is expected to have a setup time of 10 minutes per batch and a processing time of 2 minutes per part. You plan to have batch sizes of 50 parts. The plant operates 8 hours per day.

What is the capacity of the machine in batches per day?

Answer:

The capacity of the machine in batches = 4 batches per day.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Set up time per batch = 10 minutes

Processing time per part = 2 minutes

Batch sizes = 50 parts

Plant operation = 8 hours per day

b) Capacity in batches per day:

Total batch time = 10 + 50 * 2 = 110 minutes

Total minutes of operation per day = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

Capacity in batches = 480/110 = 4.36 or approximately 4 batches

c) Each batch produces 50 parts with each part taking some 2 minutes and an additional batch setup time of 10 minutes, giving a total of 110 minutes per batch. Since there are some 480 (8 * 60) minutes available per day, it means that the entity can only run about 4 batches (480/110) per day. These 4 batches will consume a total of 440 minutes (110 x 4), leaving some 40 minutes as unutilized time.

leva [86]

According to Formula:- AFV=PV(1+i)

<h3>How do you calculate the future value of an investment?</h3><h3>The future value formula</h3>

future value = present value x (1+ interest rate)n Condensed into math lingo, the formula looks like this:

FV=PV(1+i)n In this formula, the superscript n refers to the number of interest-compounding periods that will occur during the time period you're calculating for.

FV = $1,000 x (1 + 0.1)5

<h3>What will the future value be at the year's end?</h3>

If the proper interest (discount) rate is 5.34 percent annually, what will the investment be worth at the end of year five?

The present value ($100) plus the value of the interest at the set interest rate (5% of $100, or $5) equal the future value (FV) at the end of a year.

<h3>How is future value compounded annually determined?</h3>

The number of compound periods is exponentiated in formula 9.3, FV=PV(1+i)N. Over the course of five years, the 8% compounded monthly investment generates 60 periods of compound interest, whereas the 8% compounded annual investment generates only five periods.

<h3>How are present and future values determined?</h3>

Main Points

PV = FV/(1 + I n, where PV = present value, FV = future value, I = decimalized interest rate, and n = number of periods, is the formula for calculating present value.

The formula for future value is FV = PV (1 + i)n.

Answer: The correct answer is "a. $26,000".

Explanation: Implicit costs: Also known as opportunity costs have to do with alternative profit options, or money that we no longer receive when performing certain commercial actions.

A person incurs implicit costs when he waives an alternative action.

Implicit costs: $20000 + $6000 = $26000.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

(a) 3.7

(b) 3.7

Explanation:

The unemployment rate is calculated as the ration of unemployed workers over the labor force. The labor force is the total number of employed plus unemployed workers:

$Unemployment\,Rate=\frac{Unemployed\,Workers}{Labor\,Force}=\frac{Unemployed\,Workers}{Employed\,Workers+Unemployed\,Workers}$

Then if there were 155 million people in the labor force and 7.4% where unemployed that means that 11.47 million people where unemployed

$0.074=\frac{Unemployed\,Workers}{155}$

$Unemployed\,Workers=0.074*155=11.47$

If unemployment rate would have been 5% we have

$Unemployed\,Workers=0.05*155=7.75$

That means that 3.72 million fewer unemployed workers. Since Labor Force is the sum of unemployed and employed workers. The reduction in unemployment implies that they were now employed .
