Answer:

Punching machine

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Punching actual output = Both punching and the binding output + punching output

= 8,000 + 5,000

= 13,000 pages per hour

But the punching machine process to 15,000 pages per hour

Now the utilization rate of punching is

= 13,000 ÷ 15,000

= 0.867 pages per hour

Now for binding

The actual output is 8,000 pages per hour

Binder processing to 10,000 pages per hour

So, the utilization rate is

= 8,000 ÷ 10,000

= 0.8 pages per hour

As we can see that the utilization rate of punching is higher that results the bottleneck

icang [17]

Answer:

C, Raises aggregate expenditure by raising liable income, thereby increasing consumption.

Explanation:

Tax is a very important financial tool of any governmet to ensure its smooth running.

Tax can either be increased or decreased and each of these acts have their effects on the the counrty and on its people. For the purpose of this question, i will be sticking to tax decrease.

Tax decrease as the name implies is the reduction of taxes paid by individuals to the government from their taxable incomes.

When tax is reduced, there is a little more money for the people to spend and as such this affects the demand, consumption (of goods) as well as the gross domestic profit; GDP, of the country.

When the people have more money to spend, there is an increase in things they buy, wear, do, etc and so production in that country becomes high.

Tax decrease is most effective in a situations where there is high level of unemployment and slow paced economies.

cheers.

The emphasis on keeping customers for long periods of time is the central focus of ______ value and the reason firms focus on cu
Archy [21]

Answer:

Customer Lifetime Value

Explanation:

Customer Lifetime Value is a measure of how much amount of money a customer spends on your business/products/services over the course of his whole lifetime.

It is a predictor of how well you are doing to retain your existing customers.

Why is it important?

suppose you spend $10 to advertise your product (belt) and a customer buys 5 belts on average every year for 15 years. You get $12 profit for each belt sold.

12*5*15= 900$

Subtract the advertising cost

900-10=890$ This is your customer lifetime value

Now imagine what would have happen if we had to sell these belts to 75 different customers?

The advertising cost to attract 75 customers would have been too much and hence net profit and customer lifetime value would be very less.

75*10=750$

900-750=150$

This is why customer lifetime value is important and businesses focus on retaining their customers for longer periods.
