Which of the products should be processed beyond the split-off point? Product X Product Y Product Z
B) yes no yes
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Budgeted data for the next month:
products X Y Z
Units produced 2,400 2,900 3,900
Per unit sales value at split-off $ 21.00 $ 24.00 $ 24.00
Added processing costs per unit $ 3.00 $ 5.00 $ 5.00
Per unit sales value if processed further $ 25.00 $ 25.00 $ 30.00
Added profit after further processing $ 1.00 ($4.00) $ 1.00
Further processing of the products X, Y, and Z will yield further or added profit of $1.00 from products X and Z, but a loss of $4 from product Y. Therefore, product Y should not be processed further, unless its cost structure is such that there is a more than $4 profit to be generated and its further processing is necessary for the other two to be sold, that is if the three products must be sold jointly. In such a case, management could take further analysis to reduce the cost for consumers.
The decision to build the park or not would be based solely
on the cost – benefit relationship of this project. Since there is no other
factor considered in this problem, you only need to see if the benefit of
constructing the park would exceed its cost. In this problem, the cost to
construct the park is $20,000 while the marginal benefit would be $24,000
($8,000 x 3 families that can benefit from this project). Therefore, you can
say that the benefit has exceeded its cost. As a conclusion, the neighborhood
park should be built because it benefits the families living in that area more
than its cost.
Answer:
frictional unemployment created by sectoral shifts.
Explanation:
This unemployment is generated because the information between vacancies for the labor force is imperfect. People study and prepare to be dental hygienists or bookbinders without information for the total amount of vacancies that will occur. This frictional unemployment will decrease once the labor force adjust for the demand changes in the jobs. Because the shortage, the salaries for dental hygienists will increase and more people will start studies for dental hygienists. The opposite will occur with the bookbinders job, the decrease in the demand will lower the wages and less people will dive into.
<span>The most recent study was done on June 1, 2017, and all information is from that date. There are 673 US District court judgeships and four territorial ones. At the time of this study, there were 160 active circuit court judges and 19 vacant positions, while there were 570 district court judges and a whopping 103 vacant positions.
There are 59 female circuit court judges, 37%. Men, therefore, are in 63% of positions. Intesretingly, this number has actually improved, with only one woman serving in 1977.
Disregarding race, 75% of circuit court judges are white, 13% African American, 9% Hispanic, and only 3% Asian American. 12 courts have African American judges, nine have Hispanic, and five have Asian American. Overall, all three percentages have risen since 1977 (with some variability), but interestingly, Asian Americans have only recently begun to rise in presence., starting in about 2010.
Combining gender and race, white men make up 45.6% of all circuit court judges, while Asian American women only make up 0.6%. In all races, men overpower women in numbers by a large amount.
Looking at age, the average is 64.7 years old, with over 50% over 65 and only 2% under 45. The vast majority were appointed between 45 and 54, though many came slightly before or after.
It is worth noting that the first openly gay circuit court judge was Todd M. Hughes, appointed by Obama in 2013.
If we are considering race, Asian Americans are the lowest represented. If we are considering gender, women are less represented. Overall in race and gender, Asian American women are least represented. Looking at age, people under 40 are underrepresented. Overall, though, the least common demographic would be open members of the LGBT+ community.
As you can see, this is not a straightforward question! It is a hugely interesting topic and one I plan to explore further.</span>
