Answer:

  • 200 more years
  • 15 years

Explanation:

Tantalum is a metal used to manufacture electronics such as cell phones, computers and digital cameras. The problem with tantalum is that it is found in coltan ore, which is mostly mined in Africa. The African country with the largest tantalum exports is Congo, a country devastated by continuous civil wars. Millions of people have been killed in these civil wars and the warlords control coltan mines.

netineya [11]

Answer:

a) $12,500 unfavorable

b) 0

Explanation:

variable factory overhead controllable variance = actual variable overhead expense - (standard variable overhead per unit x standard number of units)

actual variable overhead expense = $725,000

standard variable overhead per unit = $712,500 / 60,000 = $11.875

standard number of units = 60,000

variable factory overhead controllable variance = $725,000 - $712,500 = $12,500 unfavorable

Controllable factory overhead is not related to any changes in the actual volume or quantity produced.

Fixed factory overhead volume variance = actual fixed overhead - standard fixed overhead = $262,500 - $262,500 = 0

Fixed overhead was exactly the same as the standard or budgeted overhead.

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost TTT, in dol
andriy [413]

Answer: 2,200 units.

Explanation:

The complete exercise is:

T = 5c + 12 f

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost T, in dollars, for shipping c units to the closer location and shipping f units to the farther location. If the total shipping cost was $47,000 and 3,000 units were shipped to the farther location, how many units were shipped to the closer location?

Given the following equation:

T = 5c + 12 f

You know that "T" is the total shipping cost (in dollars), "c" is the number of units shipped to the closer location and "f" is the number of units shipped to the farther location.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can identify that, in this case:

T=47,000\\\\f=3,000

Then, knowing those values, you need to substitute them into the given equation:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)

And finally, you must solve for "c" in order to calculate the number of units that  were shipped to the closer location.

You get that this is:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)\\\\47,000-36,000 = 5c\\\\11,000=5c\\\\\frac{11,000}{5}\\\\c=2,200

Pioneer Chicken advertises "lite" chicken with 30% fewer calories than standard chicken. When the process for "lite" chicken bre
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

LL = 420 -3\frac{25}{\sqrt{25}}= 405 represent the lower limit

UL = 420 +3\frac{25}{\sqrt{25}}= 435 represent the Upper limit

So then the limits for this case are (405, 435)

Explanation:

Let's define X as our random variable that represent the "number of calories for a chicken breast", and we have the following data:

\bar X = 420 , \sigma= 25

The select a sample of 25 chickens , n = 25. And we want to find the limits for a confidence interval within 3 deviations from the mean with z =3.

We assume that the distribution for X is normal. So then the distribution for the sample mean is also normal.

And for this case the confidence interval would be given by:

(\bar X -z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} < \mu < \bar X -z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}})

So the limits are defined as:

LL = \bar X -z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} represent the lower limit

UL = \bar X +z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} represent the Upper limit

Since we have all the values given we cn replace like this:

LL = 420 -3\frac{25}{\sqrt{25}}= 405 represent the lower limit

UL = 420 +3\frac{25}{\sqrt{25}}= 435 represent the Upper limit

So then the limits for this case are (405, 435)
