Product A requires 5 machine hours per unit to be produced, Product B requires only 3 machine hours per unit, and the company's

productive capacity is limited to 240,000 machine hours. Product A sells for $16 per unit and has variable costs of $6 per unit. Product B sells for $12 per unit and has variable costs of $5 per unit. Assuming the company can sell as many units of either product as it produces, the company should:
Produce only Product A.
Produce only Product B.
Produce equal amounts of A and B.
Produce A and B in the ratio of 62.5% A to 37.5% B.
Produce A and B in the ratio of 40% A and 60% B.

Answer:

  Produce only Product B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contribution margin per machine hour for product A is ...

  ($16 -$6)/(5 hour) = $2 per hour

The contribution margin per machine hour for product B is ...

  ($12 -$5)/(3 hour) ≈ $2.33 per hour

The company should produce the maximum possible number of the product that contributes the most per machine hour: Product B.

(Ross 5.15) If X is a normal random variable with parameters µ " 10 and σ 2 " 36, compute (a) PpX ą 5q (b) Pp4 ă X ă 16q (c) PpX
pochemuha

Answer:

(a) 0.7967

(b) 0.6826

(c) 0.3707

(d) 0.9525

(e) 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with mean <em>μ</em> = 10 and  variance <em>σ</em>² = 36.

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 5) as follows:

P(X>5)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{5-10}{\sqrt{36}})\\=P(Z>-0.833)\\=P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 5) is 0.7967.

(b)

Compute the value of P (4 < X < 16) as follows:

P(4

Thus, the value of P (4 < X < 16) is 0.6826.

(c)

Compute the value of P (X < 8) as follows:

P(X

Thus, the value of P (X < 8) is 0.3707.

(d)

Compute the value of P (X < 20) as follows:

P(X

Thus, the value of P (X < 20) is 0.9525.

(e)

Compute the value of P (X > 16) as follows:

P(X>16)=P(\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{16-10}{\sqrt{36}})\\=P(Z>1)\\=1-P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 16) is 0.1587.

**Use a <em>z</em>-table for the probabilities.

The total amount paid on a 35 year loan was $98,000. If the interest rate was 4.1% and compounded monthly, what was the principa
Levart [38]

Answer:

The principal amount was $23,393.45

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount paid on a 35 year loan was $98,000 at the rate of interest 4.1%

We will calculate Principal amount by this formula

A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}

Where A = amount (98,000)

           P = Principal amount (P)

           r = rate of interest 4.1% (0.041)

           n = number of compounding interest monthly (12)

           t = time (35 years)

98,000=P(1+\frac{0.041}{12})^{(12)(35)}

98,000=P(1+0.003416)^{(420)}

98,000=P(1.003416)^{(420)}

98,000 = P(4.189386)

= 4.189386P = 98,000

P = \frac{98000}{4.189386}

P = 23,392.4494 ≈ $23,392.45

The principal amount was $23,393.45

-3 > -7
u have to remember, with negatives, the larger number is smaller in value.

when u plot these numbers on the number line, the number that is farthest to the left is less then...the number that is farthest to the right is greater then. 

-3 is warmer because it is closer to zero then -7.
