Company A’s software would reduce the average search time by 10 minutes, at a cost of $3.50 per search. Company B’s software would reduce the average search time by 12 minutes at a cost of $3.60 per search. What option would have highest productivity in terms of revenue per dollar per input?

Answer:

Explanation:

Productivity per unput dollar=Fees charged from clients/total cost to firm

There are 3 options:

1. Using current software:

Av time=40 min

Researcher's cost=$2 a min

Total cost=40*2=80

Productivity per dollar input=Fees charged from clients/total cost to firm= 400/80=$5

2.

Using company A's software

Av time=30min

Cost of reducing av time=$3.5

Researcher's cost=$2

Total =30*2+3.5=63.50

Productivity per dollar input=400/63.5=6.3

3.

Using company B's software

Av time = 28 min

Cost of reducing av time=$3.6

Researcher's cost=$2

Total cost=28*2+3.6=59.6

Productivity per dollar input=400/59.6=$6.71

Answer - Using company B's software

solong [7]

Answer:

there are 59 nickels, 12 quarters, and 213 dimes

Explanation:

  • let n = nickels
  • let q = quarters
  • let d = dimes

first step:

d = 3 (n + q) = 3n + 3q

d + n + q = 284

0.10d + 0.05n + 0.25q = 27.25

second step:

3n + 3q + n + q = 284

0.10 (3n + 3q) + 0.5n + 0.25q = 27.25

third step:

4n + 4q = 284

0.3n + 0.3q + 0.05n + 0.25q = 27.25

fourth step:

n + q = 71

0.35n + 0.55q = 27.25

fifth step:

replace q = 71 - n

0.35n + 0.55(71 - n) = 27.25

sixth step:

0.35n + 39.05 - 0.55n = 27.25

seventh step:

11.8 = 0.2n

eighth step:

n = 59

q = 71 - 59 = 12

d = 284 - n - q = 284 - 59 - 12 = 213
