Answer:
The price will be higher and output lower in absence of competition.
Explanation:
When the market does not have enough competition, it provides a certain degree of market power to the existing producers. They are able to regulate prices and output.
It is likely that the suppliers will provide a fewer quantities of goods at a higher price, in order to maximize their profits. The socially optimal level of output will not be produced in the market.
The resources will not be efficiently allocated and deadweight loss will exist.
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.
Ngl I definitely think this is true :) if not then FRICKKKK I’m sooo sorry for getting it wrong
