Answer:

a. Station Staffing Processing time Capacity

(hours/chair/worker) (Staffing/activity time)

Stripping 3 workers 2.5 3/2.5 = 1.2

Priming 2 workers 1.5 2/1.5=1.33

Painting 2 workers 1.75 2/1.75=1.14

Inspection 1 worker 17/10=1.7 1/1.7=0.59

Inspection have the bottle neck, due to the least capacity (0.59). So, the process capacity can be given as 0.59

Total time to produce first chair =2.5+1.5+1.75+1.7 = 7.45 hours

Total time to make the each subsequent chair will be 1/0.59

b. So, total time to complete 15 chairs = (7.45)+ (1/0.59)*14

= 7.45 + 23.73

= 31.18 hours

c. In this case, there will be no bottle neck as each worker will be operating with its full capacity.

Total time taken by each worker to finish one chair = 2.5+1.5+1.75+1.7 = 7.45 hours & Total workers = 8

Maximum capacity = 8/7.45

Maximum capacity = 1.074 chairs per hour

Arcadia: each bushel of rye cost 2 pair of jeans

As in comparison it takes less pair of the jean to produce a bushel of rye Arcadia has a comparative advantage in the production of rye

while Felicidad has it in the production of jeans.

Felicidad 16,000,000 pairs of jean

Arcadia 20,000,000 bushels of rye

The opportunity cost is the number of goods not produced as a result of the production choice.

For the bushel of rye, it will be the pairs of jeans.

For Felicidad Island will be:

16 jeans / 4 bushel of rye = 4 jeans

each bushel of rye cost 4 pairs of jeans

For Arcadia Island will be:

10 pair of jeans / 5 bushels of rye = 2 jeans

each bushel of rye cost 2 pair of jeans

If they specialize

Felicidad 4 millions labor hours x 4 pairs per hour = 16,000,000 jeans

Arcadia 4 millions labor hours x 5 bushel per hour = 20,000,000 bushel
