The product’s equilibrium price
Just simply because the price and quantity is the same
Answer:
Setup time = 2.5 min. per order
Process capacity = 1.09 units/minute
Utilization = 7.5 minutes
Explanation:
The time to cook just one order = 3 minutes
Cooking two orders in a batch = 3.5 minutes
cooking three orders = 4 minutes
bagging and accepting payments = 0.80 minutes
a) Setup time:
Setup time = 3 - 0.5
= 2.5 min. per order
b) Process capacity:
Production = Setup time + ( Processing time * Batch size )
= 2.5 + (0.5 * 6)
= 5.5 minutes
Process capacity = Batch size / Production
= 6 / 5.5
= 1.09 units/minute
c) Utilization:
Batch size = 10
Production = Setup time + (Processing time * Batch size)
= 2.5 + (0.5 * 10)
= 7.5 minutes
Based on the given scenario above, the type of restriction that is being shown is called CURRENCY DEVALUATION. When there is devaluation in the currency, this would mean that the given currency would have a lesser value as based on an exchanged rate system with reference to foreign currency.
Answer:
Juanita's marginal tax rate is 42.5%
Explanation:
marginal tax rate = MTR
After tax yield of dividend paying stock is 8.1% * (1-0.15) = 0.069 = 6.9%
The after tax yield of the bond will be 6.9%
Therefore,
6.9% = 12.0% * (1 - MTR)
6.9% = 12.0% - 12.0% *MTR
6.9% - 12.0% = -12.0% * MTR
-0.051 = -0.12*MTR
MTR = 0.051/0.12 = 0.425
MTR = 42.5%
Answer: A. You would raise your policy premium substantially and Sam would not accept because he doesn't know about the Japanese.
Explanation:
In such a scenario as the one described above, the best option as an Insurance Agent is indeed to raise premiums substantially.
As the Japanese will most probably get to market first with the new Mayonnaise Substitute, they will have the rights to it's invention and could even patent it.
This means that Sam and SCAM will most likely suffer a loss as a result of this.
As there is such a high chance of loss, charging a substantially higher premium to enable coverage is only logical and makes business sense.
Sam does not know however that the Japanese are so far ahead and having rejected a substantially lower offer, will reject the newer, substantially higher one as well.
