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.

A manufacturer is designing a flashlight. For the flashlight to emit a focused beam, the bulb needs to be on the central axis of
aalyn [17]
From the problem, the vertex = (0, 0) and the focus = (0, 3)
From the attached graphic, the equation can be expressed as:
(x -h)^2 = 4p (y -k)
where (h, k) are the (x, y) values of the vertex (0, 0)
The "p" value is the difference between the "y" value of the focus and the "y" value of the vertex.
p = 3 -0
p = 3
So, we form the equation
(x -0)^2 = 4 * 3 (y -0)
x^2 = 12y
To put this in proper quadratic equation form, we divide both sides by 12
y = x^2 / 12

What is the expression in radical form? (7x^3y^2) 2/7
Gelneren [198K]
\sqrt[7]{(7x^3y^2)^{2} } = \sqrt[7]{(49x^6y^4)}
In a fractional exponent the denominator tells what root it is (7th root in this case) and the numerator tells what the value in the parenthesis is raised to (2nd power in this case)
