Answer:

hello your question lacks some details below is the complete question

A bank of 10 machines requires regular periodic service. Machine running time and service time are both exponential. Machines run for an average of 44 minutes between service requirements, and service time averages six minutes per machine

If operators cost $15 per hour in wages and fringe benefits and machine downtime costs $75 per hour in lost production, what is the optimal number of operators for this bank of machines?

A 1

B 2

C 3

D 4

E 5

Answer : 3 operators ( c )

Explanation:

number of machines = 10

machine run time for each = 44 minutes

service time = 6 minutes

cost of each operator = $15 per hour

loss during machine down time = $75 per hour

hence the optimal number of operators  

The total minutes the machine would work in a hour

= (60 - 6) * 10 = 540 minutes  

assuming we assign 180 minutes to each operator then each operator would cost = 15 * 3 = $45

for three operators that would be = 45 * 3 = $135

lost inquired during down time

= 6 minutes * 10 = 60 minutes  i.e the total cost inquired per hour = $75

hence 3 operators would be an optimal number of operators because the operators would work lesser hours and more efficiently as well

The demand for yak butter is given by 150 – 3pd and the supply is 3ps – 30, where Pa is the price paid by demanders and ps is th
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

1) Attached

2) 150-3p = 3p-30

3) P=30, Q=60

4) 150-3p = 3p-90

5) P=40 and Q=30

6) Ps=Pd+10

7) P=35, Q=45

8) P=45, Q=45

Explanation:

We can write the equation for the quantity demanded as:

Q_d=150-3p_d

And the equation for the quantity supplied as:

Q_s=3p_s-30

1) Attached

2) The equilibrium price can be calculated by making the quantity supplied equal to quantity demanded:

Q_s=Q_d\\\\3p-30=150-3p\\\\6p=150+30=180\\\\p=180/6=30

3) The equilibrium price is P=30.

The equilibrium quantity can be calculated as:

Q_s=150-3*30=150-90=60

The equilibrium quantity is Q=60.

4) The supply now becomes:

Q'_s=3p_s-90

The equation for the new equilibrium price is:

Q_d=Q'_s\\\\150-3p=3p-90\\\\6p=150+90=240\\\\p=240/6=40

Qd=150-3*40=150-120=30

5) The new equilibrium is at p=40 and Q=30

6) They will receive

p_s=p_d+subsidy=p_d+10

7)  In this case, the quantity supplied becomes:

Q_s=3p_s-90=3(p+10)-90=3p+30-90=3p-60

The new price equilibrium becomes P=35:

Q_s=Q_d\\\\3p-60=150-3p\\\\6p=150+60\\\\p=210/6=35

The quantity for this equilibrium is Q=45:

Q_d=150-3*35=150-105=45

8) Now, the equations for demand and supply are:

Q_s=3p-90\\\\Q_d=150-3(p-10)=150-3p+30=180-3p

The equilibrium price and quantity becomes:

Q_d=Q_s\\\\180-3p=3p-90\\\\6p=180+90\\\\p=270/6=45\\\\\\Q_d=180-3*45=180-135=45

If your friend Raheem asks you, “What type of account should I use to save for retirement,” what would you tell him?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Roth IRA account

Explanation:

The best type of account that you should save money in for Retirement is a Roth IRA account. This will allow you to put and save a maximum of $5,500 USD per year which will compound annually with interest and can be redeemed when you retire. Once you redeem your money at the age of 65 1/2 it will be completely tax-free. Meaning you have no liabilities with that money whatsoever and you can simply enjoy your retirement with that money.
