Answer: 24.60 minutes (2dp)

Explanation:

The question is essentially asking that we find the Standard Time it takes to serve a customer.

To do this we would have to calculate the averages of the different elements and then use this to find the normal time which we can then use to find the Standard Time.

Element 1

= (3 + 4 + 4 + 3 + 3)/5

= 3.4

Element 2

= ( 9 + 8 + 10 + 11 + 10)/5

= 9.6

Element 3

= ( 7 + 8 + 6 + 7 + 8)/5

= 7.2

We then calculate the normal times by multiplying each of the individual means with their performance ratings.

That would be,

Element A

= 3.4 * 70%

= 2.38

Element B

= 9.6 * 110%

= 10.56

Element C

= 7.2 * 120%

= 8.64

We then add up the normal times to get the total normal time

= 2.38 + 10.56 + 8.64

= 21.58 minutes

Now we can solve for the standard time using this formula,

Standard time = Normal time (1+Allowance factor)

= 21.58 ( 1 + 0.14)

= 24.6012 minutes

= 24.60 minutes (2dp)

The time per unit customer served is 24.60 minutes.

If you need any clarification please do comment. Cheers.

A local Best Buy sells 8 times as many iPods as Sears. The difference between their sales is 490 iPods. How many iPods did each
defon

Answer:

  • <u>Best Buy sells 560 iPods</u>
  • <u>Sears sells 70 iPods</u>

Explanation:

You may set a system of equations.

<u>1. Name the variables: </u>

  • B= <em>number of iPods</em> sold by <em>Best Buy</em>
  • S =<em> number of iPods</em> sold by <em>Sears</em>

<u>2. Translate every verbal statement into a mathematical expression</u>

a) <em>A local Best Buy sells 8 times as many iPods as Sears</em>.

  • B = 8S

b)  <em>The difference between their sales is 490 iPods</em>.

  • B - S = 490

<u>3. Solve the system of equations</u>

a) Substitute B = 8S into the second equation

  • 8S - S = 490

b) Add like terms

  • 7S = 490

c) Divide both sides by 7

  • S = 70

d) Substitue S = 70 into B = 8S

  • B = 8(70) = 560

<u>Solution:</u>

  • Best Buy sells 560 iPods
  • Sears sells 70 iPods

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is: No, this situation is impossible.

Explanation:

To begin with, in the reality the situation with the demand curve is all the opposite. The <em>law of demand</em> establishes that there is an indirect relationship between the price of a product and its quantity demanded in the market, therefore that when the price of a good increases then its quantity demanded decreases. And it is by logic as well, because no one will buy more of something if the products is more expensive than it was before. Therefore that the situation in the text is impossible and it could only be opposite.
