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

out of the barge with a material handling machine into dump trucks. Each truck takes 4 minutes to load, 4 minutes to travel to the dump site, 4 minutes to dump, and 4 minutes to return. Each dump truck holds 22 tons of coal. Assuming no delays, how quickly can the barge be unloaded and what is the optimal number of dump trucks to be used?

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

KiRa [710]

Answer:

Budgeted purchases for second quarter is 165000 pounds

Explanation:

The per unit requirement of material A is 2 pounds.

We first need to calculate the closing inventory of Material A at the end of first quarter and at the end of second quarter.

<u />

<u>End of first quarter</u>

The closing inventory for First quarter should be enough to meet 25% production requirement for next quarter. 25% production requirement for second quarter is 40000 pounds.

Production requirement - Second quarter = 80000 * 2 = 160000

25% of 160000 = 40000 pounds

<u />

<u>End of second quarter</u>

The closing inventory for First quarter should be enough to meet 25% production requirement for next quarter. 25% production requirement for second quarter is 45000 pounds.

Production requirement - Second quarter = 90000 * 2 = 180000

25% of 180000 = 45000 pounds

Budgeted Purchase -Second quarter = Closing Inventory in pounds + production in pounds - Opening Inventory in pounds

Purchase requirement - First quarter = 45000 + 160000 - 40000 = 165000 pounds

ycow [4]
I looked up the question, since this one is incomplete. I've attached an image of the correct chart. Elvis' marginal benefit of the fourth sandwich is his total benefit of eating 4 sandwich minus his total benefit from eating 3 sandwiches.

Looking at the chart, we see that this gives us 81-75 = 6. 

Therefore, the Marginal Benefit of a fourth sandwich is 6.

laiz [17]

Answer:

Net earnings before taxes = $9,300

Explanation:

Provided information, we have

Sales for the period = $20,000

Less: Operating Cost = $8,250

Less: Depreciation = $1,750

Operating income = $10,000

Less: Interest = $10,000 \times 7% = $700

Thus, net earnings before taxes = $9,300

Note: All the expenses including depreciation, and interest are charged before taxes.

Therefore, depreciation and interest has been deducted before charging taxes.
