Answer:

a. Potential Packing Output/hr = (50 loaves/20 min) * 60 min = 150 loaves.

However, the production of 50 loaves takes 60 mins, so the packaging remains idle for 40 mins and the Actual Packing Output/hr = 50 loaves.

Hence, Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output/Potential Output) *100% = (50/150)*100% = 33.33%

b) Production output = 50 loaves/hr = 50 loaves/60 mins

Packing Output = 50 loaves/20 mins

So, to make both the capacities equal, the XYZ Bakery can simultaneously operate three batches to prepare the dough and bake i.e 150 loaves/60 mins for both production as well as packing.

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The options which is NOT correct is C.

Purchasing power does not increase with inrease in the rate of inflation. There is an inverse relationship between inflation and purchasing power of money.

Explanation:

Inflation refers to the overall increase in prices of goods and services and the erosion of the power of the currency to purchase those goods and services. In otherwords, when inflation happens, one requires more dollar bills to purchase same unit of goods or services.

Deflation is the opposite of inflation. It refers to the decrease in the prices of goods and services and is usually accompained by an increase in the purchasing power of the currency.

Nominal interest rate simply put is the interest payable on a loan without considering processing fees, compounding interest payable and the erosion of the value of such money.

Cheers!

A. Bias by placement, because bias by labeling would be something to the effect of calling the liberals point of view  uneducated, or giving there view some negative label, bias by omission would mean completely ignoring the other side, and not covering it at all, whereas all the other ones don't really fit, bias by placement is something to the effect of airing one side in the morning, while everyone is watching, and airing the other one after everyone is asleep, which is what is done here, which we know by the sentence "<span>liberal point of view at the end."</span>

Which of these credit card payback strategies would result in your paying the HIGHEST amount of interest?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

D. Making the minimum payment (3% credit card balance) every month with an occasional late payment

Explanation:

Credit card debts attract a very high-interest rate. By design, the interest on uncleared balances increases rapidly.  Credit cards calculate interest monthly. Any uncleared balance and the interest incurred is rolled over to the next month, where it continues attracting more interest.

The best strategy is to clear credit card debts in the month they are incurred. Late payment attracts heavy penalties. A combination of late payments and outstanding balances will make interest charges grow exponentially.
