Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspection of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer m

anufacturer receives circuit boards in batches of five. Two boards are selected from each batch for inspection. We can represent possible outcomes of the selection process by pairs. For example, the pairs (1, 2) and (2, 1) represent the selection of boards 1 and 2 for inspection. (a) List the ten different possible outcomes. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.) (b) Suppose that boards 1 and 4 are the only defective boards in a batch. Two boards are to be chosen at random. Define X to be the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution of X.

Answer:

Explanation:

There are total 5 batches and two boards are selected from each batch for inspection.

Let the boards are numbered from 1 to 5.

If the selected boards are 1 and 2, then it is represented in pair as (1, 2).

If the selected boards are 1 and 3, then it is represented in pair as (1, 3).

Similarly, other pairs can be obtained.

a) Let X be the number of defective boards observed among the two inspected.

If the boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a lot of five, then

(1,2),x=2; (1,3),x=1; (1,4),x=1; (1,5),x=1;

(2,3),x=1; (2,4),x=1; (2,5),x=1;

(3,4),x=0;\ (3,5),x=0;\ (4,5),x=0.(3,4),x=0; (3,5),x=0; (4,5),x=0.

P(X=0)=  3/10 =0.3

P(X=1)={6 \over 10}=0.6P(X=1)=  6/10 =0.6

P(X=2)={1 \over 10}=0.1P(X=2)=  1/10 =0.1

b)

x                  0               1                    2

p(x)            0.3           0.6                0.1

​

​μ  X  =0⋅0.3+1⋅0.6+2⋅0.1=0.8

σ  X ² =(0−0.8)²  ⋅0.3+(1−0.8)²  ⋅0.6+(2−0.8)² ⋅0.1=0.36

μₓ=0.8, σX  =0.6

Selling price per unit                              $120                   $160

Variable costs per unit                            $40                    $90

Contribution margin per unit                  $80                    $70

Max. unit sales per month               600 units              200 units

machine operate 8 hours per day during 22 days per month, total hours of machine work per month = 176

                                                         Product G             Product B

Machine hours per unit                    0.4 hours              1.0 hours

produce maximum sales                                                                  in total

Currently the company should only produce Product G, since it is able to produce 440 units per month and that generates a contribution margin of $35,200.

If the company decides to produce in two shifts, then it should produce 600 units of Product G (using 240 machine hours) and use the remaining 112 machine hours to produce 112 units of product B. This will generate a total contribution margin of: $48,000 +$7,840 = $55,840.

The additional contribution margin generated = $55,840 - $35,200 = $20,640, which is higher than the additional costs generated by working in two shifts. The second shift will increase the company's p´profits by $5,640 (= $20,640 - $15,000).

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is 5%.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

We can calculate the growth rate by using following formula:

Growth rate = (Dividend of 3rd year ÷ Dividend of 1st year)^1/2 -1

By putting the value in the formula, we get

Growth rate = ($4.41 ÷ $4 )^1/2 - 1

= ( $0.41)^1/2 -1

= 0.05 or 5%

ADVANCED ANALYSIS Assume the following values for Figures 4.4a and 4.4b: Q1 = 20 bags. Q2 = 15 bags. Q3 = 27 bags. The market eq
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Total surplus is the area bounded by points a, b, and c. To calculate total surplus, we use the following formula for the area of a triangle: Area = ½ × Base × Height. The area between the demand curve and the supply curve for the quantity ranging from 0 to 20 is the total economic surplus. This is a triangle with a base (best read off the price axis) of $80, which is the price difference at Q = 0, or between points a and c, and a height of 20 (the number of units purchased in equilibrium). Using these values, we have a total surplus of (1/2) × $80 × 20 = $800.

The consumer surplus is the area between the demand curve and the equilibrium price line. Here we have a base of $40 (the price difference between the demand schedule price at Q = 0, which is $85, and the equilibrium price of $45). The height of the triangle is once again 20 (the number of units purchased in equilibrium). Using these values, we have a consumer surplus of (1/2) × 40 × 20 = $400.

b. Deadweight loss is the difference in total surplus between an efficient level of output Q1 and a reduced level of output at Q2. We can calculate this as the area of a triangle bounded by points bde. The base of this triangle is the difference in prices at points d and e, or $55 – $35 = $20. The height of this triangle is given by the difference in the restricted level of output of Q2 = 15 and the efficient level of output Q1 = 20, or 5 units. Thus, the area of this triangle (the deadweight loss) is equal to (1/2) × $20 × 5 = $50. The remaining total surplus can be found by subtracting the deadweight loss from the original (efficient) total surplus. This is $800 (maximum total surplus) – $50 (deadweight loss) = $750.

c. The deadweight loss from overproduction is the difference in total surplus between an efficient level of output Q1 and an additional level of output at Q3. We can calculate this as the area of a triangle bounded by points bfg. The base of this triangle is the difference in prices at points f and g, or $59 – $31 = $28. The height of this triangle is given by the difference in the additional level of output Q3 = 27 and the efficient level of output Q1 = 20, or 7 units. Thus, the area of this triangle (the deadweight loss) is equal to (1/2) × $28 × 7 = $98. The remaining total surplus can be found by subtracting the deadweight loss from the original total surplus. This is $800 (maximum total surplus) – $98 (deadweight loss) = $702. Note here that we maximize total (producer + consumer) surplus by producing the equilibrium quantity, but we lose surplus from overproduction (inefficient use of resources).
