A small metal shop operates 10 hours each day, producing 100 parts/hour. If productivity were increased 20%, how many hours woul

ipn [44]

Answer:

The plant would have to work 8.33 hours

Explanation:

Initial productivity:

100 parts were produced in 1 hour

Percentage increase in productivity = 20%

New productivity:

100 + (100 × 0.2) = 100 + 20 = 120

120 parts would be produced in 1 hour

Number of hours the plant would have to work to produce 1000 parts = 1000/120 = 8.33 hours

A year ago, Kim Altman purchased 160 shares of BLK, Inc. for $20.50 on margin. At that time the margin requirement was 40 percen

Semmy [17]

Answer:

85.66%

Explanation:

Calculation for what is the percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock

First step is to calculate the Cost of the shares

Cost of the shares=160 × $20.50

Cost of the shares= $3,280

Second step is to calculate the Margin

Margin=$3,280 × 0.4

Margin= $1,312.00

Third step is to calculate the Funds borrowed

Funds borrowed= $3,280-$1,312.00

Funds borrowed= $1,968.00

Fourth Step is to calculate Interest paid

Interest paid=$1,968.00 × 0.12

Interest paid= $236.16

Fifth step is to calculate Profit on the stock

Profit on the stock=$4,640.00 - $3,280

Profit on the stock = $1,360

(160*29=$4,640.00)

Last step is to calculate the Return on the investment

Return on the investment:m= ($1,360.00 - $236.16)/$1,312.00

Return on the investment=$1,123.84/$1312.00

Return on the investment=85.66%

Therefore the percentage return on the funds she invested in the stock is 85.66%

Suppose a competitive firm has cost, C = (0.002q3) + (22q) + 750, marginal cost, MC = 0.006q2 + 22, and revenue, R =

aniked [119]

Answer:

Options B and C are correct.

Marginal profit is negative.
Profit is positive.

Explanation:

At q = 150

R = 80q = 80(150) = 12,000

C = 0.002(150)3 + 22(150) + 750 = 6750 + 3300 + 750 = 10,800

R > C so first is incorrect.

MR = 80

MC = 0.006(150 x 150) + 22 = 135 + 22 = 157

MC > MR so B is correct.

Profit = TR - TC = 80(150) - 0.002(150)3 - 22(150) - 750 = 12000 - 10800 = 1200

Profit is positive.

Marginal profit = MR - MC = 80 - 157 = - 77

MR is Negative
