Your firm has a contract to build one custom-designed machine that costs $100,000,000. This machine will operate at a paper recy

cling plant. It will take 1,000,000 pieces of paper per day, shred them into tiny fragments, grind them into paper dust, and create pulp used to make recycled paper envelopes. You need a gear motor to run at 10 horsepower with an output speed of 10 RPM. Your other option is buy a 10 horsepower, 1750 RPM motor, and design your own transmission system to reduce the speed to 10 RPM. Your firm has 10 engineers, and 2 of them would work full-time for six months to get the transmission system designed and built. The purchased gear motor would cost $10,000 and the purchase motor would cost $3,000. The transmission parts would cost another $3,000, saving you $4,000. Time is of the essence. You have only 6 months to design and build your machine.
Which makes more sense to you, buy the gear motor, or buy an AC motor and design and build your own gear transmission system?

Answer:

Buy the gear motor

Explanation:

Given that form the question Time is very important factor to be considered hence it will make more sense to buy the gear motor rather than buying the an AC motor because you cannot rely on the two engineers working fulltime  for 6 months because of the factor of uncertainty which might lead to delay in shipment  . also the difference in cost is not much compared to the value of the contract ( $1 billion )

Cost of Gear motor = $10,000

cost of AC motor = $3000 + $3000 = $6000

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Cindy's reasoning illustrates: <u>sunk-cost fallacy</u>.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The term fallacy refers to failure in reasoning and mistaken belief. A sunk cost is a cost incurred in the business that cannot be recovered. The cost invested in the business and lost is referred as sunk cost.

Sunk cost fallacy gives false hope to the people about their investment plan in business and makes them take wrong decision.

In the above scenario, Cindy invested $850,000 into the business. She faced loss continuously and lost her money. But she stills thinks on investing in her business instead of selling it.

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

(a) 0.7

(b) 3.33

(c) -$210

(d) -$147

(e) -$1 trillion

Explanation:

(a) Marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = 0.7

(b) Multiplier of this economy:

=\frac{1}{1-MPC}

=\frac{1}{1-0.7}

      = 3.33

(c) Decrease government purchases by $300 billion,

Initial change in consumption = Change in government purchases × MPC

                                                  = $300 × 0.7

                                                  = -$210 billion

(d) This decreases income yet again, causing a second change in consumption equal to:

= Initial change in consumption × MPC

= -$210 × 0.7

= -$147 billion

(e) The total change in demand resulting from the initial change in government spending is:

= Change in government purchases × Multiplier

= $300 × 3.33

= -$1 trillion
