Two firms, A and B, each currently dump 50 tonnes of chemicals into the local river. From now on both firms will require a pollu

tion permit for each tonne of pollution dumped into the river. The government gives each firm 20 tonnes’ worth of pollution permits, which it can either use or sell to the other firm. It costs Firm A $100 for each tonne of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river, and it costs Firm B $50 for each tonne of pollution that it eliminates before it reaches the river. What is likely to happen?

Answer:

10 fewer tons of pollution into the river and Firm B will dump 50 fewer tons of pollution into the river.

Explanation:

Firm B will SELL ALL of its allotted 20 permits, and clean up all of its 50 units of pollution. The price per permit will be above $50 each. Firm A will BUY ALL 20 of B's permits. It will then dump 40 tons into the water, and will clean up its remaining 10. The price it pays for a permit will be under $100.

Answer:

Firm B will sell all its permits to Firm A  i.e ( lesser chemical dumps into the river )

Explanation:

Firm B will rather sell all its 20 tonnes worth of pollution permit to firm A because it would cause Firm B lesser than Firm A when they dispose off their wastes before it gets to the River hence they will rather dispose off their waste rather than paying/purchasing pollution permits while

Firm A will buy out all of Firm B's allotted pollution permits to reduce the number of tonnes they would dispose off before getting to the river. this is because it would cause them more when they dispose off their waste before getting it to the river. hence the End product of the whole arrangement will be  Chemical dumps into the River will be reduced drastically to 40 overall instead of 100 due to the cost of dumping permits.

The daily demand for parts from a machining workcell JMB to an assembly workcell is 1,600 units. The average processing time is
Karolina [17]

Answer:

Daily demand for parts = 1600 units

Avg processing time = 25 seconds.

Capacity of a container = 250 units

Waiting time of a container before the JMB = 6 hours

Number of containters currently deployed = 10

Solution:

Total number of parts carried by the containter = 10 x 250 = 2500 parts.

Total numbers carried in excess as safety stock = 2500-1600 = 900

Percentage of safety stock = (900/1600) x 100 = 56.25%

If one container is removed total parts carried = 2250 units

Processing time at machine for 250 parts after loading in JMB = 250 x 25 seconds = 1.736 hours, but it has to wait for another 4.26 hours for the next container to be loaded because of the waiting time of the containter is 6 hours.

Processing time at machine for 1600 parts = 1600 x 25 seconds = 11.11 hours

Number of containers required for 1600 parts = 1600/250= 6.4 ~ 7 containters

Waiting time of 7 containers = 7 x 4.26 = 29.82 hours.

If one of the containers has to be removed 1600 parts has to be carried in 6 containers ie., 29.82hours - 6 hours = 23.82hours

Waiting time per container before loading = 23.82/6 = 3.97 hours.

Reduced Total waiting time of the container = 3.97 hours + the processing time of 250 parts = 3.97 + 1.736 =5.7hours ~ 5 hours and 42 minutes

In order to produce a new product, a firm must lease new equipment. The managers feel that they can sell 10,000 units per year a
kogti [31]

Answer:

The most the firm can spend to lease the new equipment without losing money=$75,000

Explanation:

The point at which the revenue in terms of sales equals the cost is the break-even point. This can be expressed as;

R=C

where;

R=revenue from sales

C=cost

And;

R=P×N

where;

R=revenue from sales

P=price per unit

N=number of units

In our case;

P=$7.5 per unit

N=10,000 units

replacing;

R=7.5×10,000=$75,000

Total revenue from sales=$75,000

C=p×n

where;

p=cost per unit

n=number of units

In our case;

p=$5

n=unknown

replacing;

C=5×n=5 n

At break-even point, R=C;

5 n=75,000

n=75,000/5=15,000

The break-even cost=5×15,000=$75,000

The most the firm can spend to lease the new equipment without losing money=$75,000
