Answer: The firms are faced with two options, the first is covering variable cost, which they can consider in a short run, which they can pay some of their fixed cost. If they shut down completely they would pay all their fixed costs.

Explanation:

The firms are faced with two options, the first is covering variable cost, which they can consider in a short run, which they can pay some of their fixed cost. Alternatively, if they shut down completely they would pay all their fixed costs. As long as the operating cost is not much, they would keep working.

Your business has purchased 500 pizza pans, 60 kg of sauce, 100 kg of cheese, 2.5 kg of basil, 2.5 kg of oregano, 5 kg of yeast,
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

400 pizzas

Explanation:

The complete question would be:

<em>You are going into the business of making pizzas. The following is the list of ingredients to make ONE pizza: </em>

<em>400 g flour           50 mL water </em>

<em>10 g yeast             120 g sauce </em>

<em>250 g cheese       5 g oregano </em>

<em>5 g basil </em>

<em>Your business has purchased 500 pizza pans, 60 kg of sauce, 100 kg of cheese, 2.5 kg of basil, 2.5 kg of oregano, 5 kg of yeast, and 200 kg of flour. You have as much water as you need. How many pizzas can you make? </em>

You are going to have to make a couple of conversions to do this. Since everything you need is indicated in grams, we first need to convert everything you have in grams.

There are 1,000 g in 1 kg. So now we convert them all:

60 kg of sauce

60kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 60,000g

100 kg of cheese

100kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 100,000g

2.5 kg of basil

2.5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 2,500g

2.5 kg of oregano

2.5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 2,500g

5 kg of yeast

5kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 5,000g

200 kg of flour

200kg \times \dfrac{1,000g}{1kg} = 200,000g

So now that we know what we have, we determine how many pizzas we can make with the amount of each ingredient. We get the ratio of each ingredient to one pizza to determine how many we can make:

<u>Flour:</u>

Available: 200,000g

Needed: 400g

200,000g\ of\ flour\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{400g\ of\ flour} = 500\ pizzas

<u>Yeast:</u>

Available: 5,000g

Needed: 10g

5,000g\ of\ yeast\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{10g\ of\ yeast} = 500\ pizzas

<u>Cheese:</u>

Available: 100,000g

Needed: 250g

100,000g\ of\ cheese\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{250g\ of\ cheese} = 400\ pizzas

<u>Basil:</u>

Available: 2,500g

Needed: 5g

<u />2,500g\ of\ basil\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{5g\ of\ yeast} = 500\ pizzas<u />

<u>Sauce:</u>

Available: 60,000g

Needed: 120g

<u />60,000g\ of\ sauce\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{120g\ of\ sauce} = 500\ pizzas<u />

<u>Oregano:</u>

Available: 2,500g

Needed: 5g

<u />2,500g\ of\ oregano\times\dfrac{1\ pizza}{5g\ of\ oregano} = 500\ pizzas<u />

We do not need to consider water, because it will provide as many as we will need.

So here we see that all but one ingredient is able to yield 500 pizzas. Cheese is the only one that yields less than 500, specifically 400 only. This is your limiting ingredient and this ingredient determines how many pizzas you can make. Because when you run out of cheese, you can no longer make a pizza.

Jacob and Mason go to a diner that sells burritos for $5 and tacos for $3. They agree to split the lunch bill evenly. Mason choo
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

$1

Explanation:

The marginal cost refers to the cost of producing one additional unit or serving one more customer.

In this case, we have to determine the additional cost of Jacob ordering a burrito instead of a taco. As Mason chose the tacos and they agreed to split the lunch bill evenly, if Jacob decides to eat the tacos, the cost for each of them is:

$3+$3=$6/2= $3

If Jacob decides to eat the burrito:

$3+$5= $8/2= $4

So, the marginal cost to Jacob ordering a burrito is:

$4-$3= $1
