Answer:

Average hourly output is 13.14 pieces.

Explanation:

Number of machines at the bank N = 5

Average service time T = 26 min

Machine runs for an Average R = 74 min

Number of servers M = 1

Service Factor, X = T / (T+R)

= 26 / (26+74)

= 0.26

Efficiency Factor, F = 0.683

Average Number of machine running A = N * F * (1 - X)

= 5 * 0.683 * (1 - 0.26)

= 2.52

Output rate = 26 * (A / N)

= 26 * ( 2.52 / 5)

= 13.14 per hour.

Therefore the percentage of the value of FARO’s existing equity prior to the announcement is this expected gain or loss will be 13%

C. Calculation to determine At what price should FARO expect its existing shares to sell immediately after the announcement

Price Per Share: $ 25*(1 - 0.13)

Suppose the market for gourmet chocolate is in long-run equilibrium, and an economic downturn has reduced consumer discretionary
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a. Decrease

b. Decline

c. Exit

d. No change

Explanation:

The market for gourmet chocolate is in the long-run equilibrium, and an economic downturn has caused the consumer disposable income to fall. Chocolate is a normal good, and the chocolate producers have identical cost structures.

a. This decline in the consumer income will reduce the purchasing power of the consumers. As a result, the demand will decrease. The demand curve will move to the left.

b. This leftward shift in the demand curve will cause the price to decline, As the price falls, the profits earned by the producers will decline as well.

c. In the long run, the firms operate at zero economic profits. So a decline in profits imply that the firms are operating at an economic loss. This will cause the loss incurring firms to exit the market.

d. The long run supply curve will remain the same. It is not affected by change in profits, it changes only with change in the state of technology or availability of resources.
