Product A requires 5 machine hours per unit to be produced, Product B requires only 3 machine hours per unit, and the company's

productive capacity is limited to 240,000 machine hours. Product A sells for $16 per unit and has variable costs of $6 per unit. Product B sells for $12 per unit and has variable costs of $5 per unit. Assuming the company can sell as many units of either product as it produces, the company should:
Produce only Product A.
Produce only Product B.
Produce equal amounts of A and B.
Produce A and B in the ratio of 62.5% A to 37.5% B.
Produce A and B in the ratio of 40% A and 60% B.

Answer:

  Produce only Product B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contribution margin per machine hour for product A is ...

  ($16 -$6)/(5 hour) = $2 per hour

The contribution margin per machine hour for product B is ...

  ($12 -$5)/(3 hour) ≈ $2.33 per hour

The company should produce the maximum possible number of the product that contributes the most per machine hour: Product B.

What is the simplified form of the following expression? 6c^2 + 2.5d - d + 2c^2 - 3d
motikmotik

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

<u>The simplest form would be:</u>

8c² - 1.5d


<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

To simplify an expression, we need to <u>gather the like terms</u>.

Like terms are the ones having the same variable raised to the same power


<u>In the given expression:</u>

6c² + 2.5d - d + 2c² - 3d


We have terms having c² and terms having d.

<u>Therefore, we would gather them as follows:</u>

6c² + 2.5d - d + 2c² - 3d

(6+2)c² + (2.5-1-3)d

8c² - 1.5d ......................> This is the simplest form


Hope this helps :)

A girl scout troop sold cookies. If the girls Sold 5 more boxes the second week than they did the first and if they doubled the
Art [367]
Since the girl scout sold 5 more boxes on the second week, we have (x + 5) number of boxes sold for the second week. Now, for the third week, since it's double that of the second week, we have 2(x + 5). Thus, we have the following:

first week: x
second week: x + 5
third week: 2(x + 5)

Given that the total number of boxes sold for the three weeks is 431. We have

x + (x + 5) + 2(x + 5) = 431
x + x + 5 + 2x + 10 = 431
4x + 15 = 431
4x = 431 - 15
4x = 416
x = 104

We have now the value of x. Using this, we can find the values for the second and third week.
x + 5 = `104 + 5 = 109
2(x + 5) = 2(109) = 218

Answer: 
first week: 104
second week: 109
third week: 218
