Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": marginal utility is positive for the 4th slice and negative for the 5th slice.

Explanation:

Marginal Utility refers to the additional benefit or satisfaction gained from consuming one more unit of a good or service. In economics, something has utility if it satisfies any consumer wants or needs whether for usefulness or pleasure. It is a subjective term.

If the marginal utility is positive, consumers would want to acquire more of the good or service but if negative they will stop consuming it. Thus, the marginal utility for the 4th pizza slice is positive but the marginal utility for the 5th slice is negative.

A freelance writer must choose how to spend her time working on several different types of projects. Newspaper stories take 3 ho
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

3N + 25M + P ≤ 45

Explanation:

Let the number of Newspaper Stories taken=N

Newspaper stories take 3 hours to write.

Total Hour spent on Newspaper Stories=3N

Let the number of Magazine Articles taken =M

Magazine articles take much longer to write 25 hours per article.

Total Hour spent in Magazine Articles=25M

Let the number of Proofreading jobs taken =P

Proofreading pays for every 1 hour

Total Hour spent in Proofreading jobs=P

Since both newspaper stories and magazine articles must be completed in the week they are started.

The writer doesn't want to work more than 45 hours per week. So his total hour in a week is less than or equal to 45.

The Constraint that limits the amount of time the writer will work in a week is given as:

3N + 25M + P ≤ 45

Carla's business recently suffered an attack that shut down operations. What planning document describes how her business should
Kruka [31]

Answer:

A business continuity document

Explanation:

A business continuity plan document helps protect a business from the impact of potential crises that may affect their operations.

It is very important for small businesses to have this written document.

Carla's business continuity plan document should detail:

1. the key business functions needed to get operating as quickly as possible and the resources needed to do so if there's an attack.

2. identify potential crises that might affect the business and also determine how to minimise the risks of these disasters occurring.

Since training has been given to staffs before about their responsibilities in an emergency situation, they should apply what they've learnt.

For example, if there's a possibility for an attack that may affect power supply, Carla should put a back-up generator in place, in the event of a failure.

ABC Company is unloading coal from a barge on the Mississippi River. The barge contains 1,760 tons of coal. The coal is shoveled
Naily [24]

Answer:

The answer is: 5 hours 20 minutes; 4 Trucks

Explanation:

Each truck has a 16 minute window to pick up and dump the coal. This process can be observed as an assembly line where each stage of production is the stages of coal transport. When Truck A is travelling to the dump site, Truck B can be loading the coal. When Truck B is travelling to the dump site and Truck A is dumping the coal, Truck C would be loading the coal. When Truck A is travelling to the loading area, Truck B dumping the coal and Truck C travelling to the dump site, Truck D would be loading the coal. Once Truck A gets to the loading area, Truck D would be on its way to the dump site and so on. In each 16 minute window 88 tons of coal (22 tons * 4) is picked up and dumped, that is, 22 tons every 4 minutes. Given that there are 1, 760 tons of coal, the total time taken to dump all the coal is equal to 320 minutes:

88 tons = 16 minutes (22 tons dumped every 4 minutes)

1, 760 tons = (1760 tons * 16)/88 tons = 320 minutes

320 minutes/ 60 minutes = 5 hours 20 minutes

A farmer plans to plant two crops, A and B. The cost of cultivating Crop A is $40/acre whereas the cost of cultivating Crop B is
laila [671]

Answer:

We will plant 165 of Crop A

Explanation:

We will compare the marginal contribution for each crop:  A   B

Profit:                170.00     210

cost of cultivating:  40.00       60

CM per constrain      4.25            3.50

Crop A is better regarding cultivating cost.

Now we analize the labor hours:

Profit:                      170     210

Labor hours per crop 20       25

CM per constrain      8.50       8.40

Because Crop A is better at both constrain resource It will be better to plant only Crop A if possible. As assigning to Crop B will diminish the return on the scarce resourse.

We will see how much can we plant of Crop A

7400 / 40 = 185

3300 / 20 = 165

We will plant 165 of Crop A

which is the maximun we can plant at the given labor hours.
