A firm produces bicycles using two inputs: bicycle frames (F) and bicycle wheels (W). By definition, one bicycle has 2 wheels an

d 1 frame. One frame costs $75, and 1 wheel costs $50. The firm is currently producing 100 bicycles per month. If the price of wheels doubles to $100 each, the cost minimization of producing 100 bicycles is now $_____.

Answer:

C(100) = (75 x 100) + (200 x 100) = $27,500

Explanation:

the initial cost function of producing bikes is:

C(x) = 75F + 100W

the initial cost to produce 1 bike = $75 + $100 = $175

if the cost of wheels increase to $100 each, then the cost function is:

C(x) = 75F + 200W

in this case, there is not much to calculate since every bicycle must have 1 frame and 2 wheels, that means that in order to produce 100 bicycles you will necessarily need 100 frames and 200 wheels. Labor is not considered in this cost function, so any cost minimization strategy is limited to using the minimum amount of parts:

C(100) = (75 x 100) + (200 x 100) = $27,500

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

A.) Since the United States has an aging population and thus an expected decline in working population in the future, therefore, increasing the output per worker seems more relevant in the United states than increasing the proportion of working population. Because Mexico on the other hand boasts a youthful population, Mexico can increase its standard of living by either increasing its output per worker or by increasing the proportion of the population that works.

B.) GDP INCREASES.....

STANDARD OF LIVING ALSO INCREASES....

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF EMPLOYED WORKERS HAS GREATER WEIGHT THAN THE DECREASE IN LABOR PRODUCTIVITY

A thief steals an ATM card and must randomly guess the correct three​-digit pin code from a 9​-key keypad. Repetition of digits
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the pin code on the first try.

Explanation:

Simply, if the ATM card has a 3-digit code that can be repeated, and the board has 9 numbers (for example, from 1 to 9), we must start from the smallest number that could be formed with these numbers to the highest number that these numbers could also compose, which in the case would be 111 and 999. Then, 889 different numbers could be formed (it is the distance between 111 and 999), with which the possibility of hitting the key to the first attempt would be 1 in 889 times, or 1/889.

To take the probability to a percentage, we must know that 889 / 8.89 gives 100. Therefore, dividing 1 / 8.89 we will know the percentage of probabilities of hitting the key on the first attempt: 1 / 8.89 = 0.11.

This shows us that the thief has a 0.11% probability of hitting the key on the first try.
