In its simplest form, amdahl's law maintains that if a given program would take one hour to run to completion with one processor

, but 80 percent of the program had to run sequentially (and therefore could not be sped up by applying additional processors to it), then a resulting parallel program would run only a maximum of ____ percent faster.

<span>20% is the maximum speed up possible for this program. For this problem, let's assign the time of 1 for the task when using a single processor. Now let's assume that we have an infinite number of processors available to handle the portion of the program that can be executed in parallel so that the execution time for that portion will be 0. That means that the total execution time with an infinite number of processors will be 1 * (0.80 + 0) = 1 * 0.80 = 0.80 So at best, the parallel program will take 80% of the time for the single threaded version. So the speed increase will be (1 - 0.80) / 1 = 0.20/1 = 0.20 = 20%</span>

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Total direct materials cost variance is $66,000 and it is favorable.

Explanation:

Actual cost = Actual Quantity × Actual Price

= 300,000  × $1.78

= $534,000

Actual cost with selling price = Actual Quantity  × Selling Price

= 300,000  × $2.00

= $600,000

The total direct materials cost variance is computed as:

Total direct materials cost variance = Actual cost with selling price - Actual Cost

= $600,000 - $534,000

= $66,000

It is favorable.

Working Note:

Actual Price per lbs = $534,000 / 300,000

= $1.78

The opening of a new American-owned factory in Algeria would tend to increase Algeria's GDP more than it increases Algeria's GNP
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a and option b.

Explanation:

The opening of a new American-owned factory in Algeria would tend to increase Algeria's GDP more than it increases Algeria's GNP.

This is because the GDP of a nation is the value of final goods and services produced in an economy in a year by both domestic citizens as well as foreign residents.

While GNP of a nation does not include the income earned by the foreign residents within the boundaries of a nation. So it is lower than GDP.
