Biotechnology helps increase the crop yields to meet human needs and demands in the years to come. Assuming that the production of crops today, March 2017 is 10 million tons and the demand for crops is determined using the given population which is 7 billion. If an average person needs 10 kg of food daily, the needed food is a total of 70 million tons. The current supply is 10 million tons per day, so a balance of 60 million tons per day is still needed. Therefore, farmers have to produce 85.71% more grain to feed human population in 2018.

Suppose that a delivery company currently uses one employee per vehicle to deliver packages. Each driver delivers 60 packages pe
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

a. What is the MRP per driver per day?

  • the marginal revenue product per driver = 60 packages x $20 = $1,200 per day

b. Now suppose that a union forces the company to place a supervisor in each vehicle at a cost of $300 per supervisor per day. The presence of the supervisor causes the number of packages delivered per vehicle per day to rise to 60  packages per day What is the MRP per supervisor per day? By how much per vehicle per day do firm profits fall after supervisors are introduced?

  • if the drivers were already delivering 60 packages per day without the supervisor, then the addition of the supervisor doesn't change anything. So the MRP of the supervisor is $0. That means that the company's profits will decrease by $300 per day due to the supervisors.

c. How many packages per day would each vehicle have to deliver in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?

  • $300 / 20 = 15 packages per day
  • in order to maintain the profit per vehicle, each team of delivery man + supervisor should be able to deliver 75 packages per day.

d. Suppose that the number of packages delivered per day cannot be increased but that the price per deliver might potentially be raised. What price would the firm have to charge for each delivery in order to maintain the firm's profit per  vehicle after supervisors are introduced?

  • $300 / 60 = $5
  • the price of each package delivered should increase by $5 to $25 per package.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

the information is missing, so I looked for a similar question and found the attached image:

a) days inventory on hand = (average inventory / cost of goods sold) x 365 = ($14,000 / $120,000) x 365 = 42.58 days

b) inventory turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average inventory = $120,000 / $14,000 = 8.57

I agree with Mr. David because the inventory turnover ratio of Golden Cup is already higher than the industry's average. That means that Golden Cup's current inventory level is appropriate and increasing it would only result in higher costs but would have very little influence on the company's sales.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

$42.5 billion

Explanation:

the expected value formula = ∑ (valueₙ x probabilityₙ)

expected value = (low value x probability of low value) + (most likely value x probability of most likely value) + (high value x probability of high value)

= ($5 billion x 20%) + ($45 billion x 70%) + ($100 billion x 10%) = $1 billion + $31.5 billion + $10 billion = $42.5 billion
