During your first month as an employee at Engro. Industries (a large drill-bit manufacturer),you are asked to evaluate alternatives for producing a newly designed drill bit on a turningmachine. Your boss’ memorandum to you has practically no information about what thealternatives are and what criteria should be used. The same task was posed to a previousemployee who could not finish the analysis, but she has given you the following information:An old turning machine valued at $350,000 exists (in the warehouse) that can be modified forthe new drill bit. The in-house technicians have given an estimate of $40,000 to modify thismachine, and they assure you that they will have the machine ready before the projected startdate (although they have never done any modifications of this type). It is hoped that the oldturning machine will be able to meet production requirements at full capacity. An outsidecompany, Descon Engg. Inc., made the machine seven years ago and can easily do the…
The marginal damage cost equation for carbon monoxide (CO) in urban areas is: MDCU = 36E; The marginal damage cost equation for CO in rural areas is: MDCR = 6E.The marginal abatement cost equation for CO is: MAC = 400 - 4E What is the total compliance cost under this scheme?
A local college is deciding whether to conduct a campus beautification initiative that would involve various projects, such as planting trees and remodeling buildings, to make the campus more aesthetically pleasing. For the students of the college, the visual appearance of the campus isnonrival andnonexcludable . Thus, the visual appearance would be classified as a public good. Suppose the college administrators estimate that the beautification initiative will cost $61,110. To decide whether the initiative should be undertaken, administrators conduct a survey of the college's 2,240 students, asking each of them their willingness to pay for the beautification project. The average willingness to pay, as revealed by the survey, is $20. The benefit of the beautification initiative, as suggested by the survey, is . Because the estimated benefit is than the cost, the college administrators undertake the beautification initiative. The calculation of the benefit of…

Western Processors Ltd manufactures and distributes a wide range of consumer products from itslocation in Kingston Jamaica. The firm imports raw materials from North and South America andexports its products to several international markets. The firm also has a high market share locallyand in its overseas markets for its wide range of high and low-value products. Management of thecompany believes that the company could significantly improve both distribution andenvironmental impact from transportation by investigating the possibility of using various modesof transportation for its various consumer products. Required:A. The company designs its transportation network so that a Distribution Centre servesseveral large customers in its local and international markets. Outline how the companycan use such a network to reduce transportation costs while replenishing inventory morefrequently.
When we talk about massive energy generation through more traditional methods, such as hydroelectric andthermoelectric plants, it is inevitable that we think about environmental aspects and the entire chain involved so that theenergy generated in a locality is taken to large consumer centers. Seeking to improve thisIn this context, microgrids emerged, which can act in isolation or connected to the Interconnected SystemNational. For consumers, the main advantages are medium-term savings and the issue ofenvironmental. For the distributor, the impacts of microgrids are:ALTERNATIVESa) Practically non-existent, as current equipment is energy efficient and connecteddigitally, improving the operation of the network as a whole.b) Technical and environmental, as the consumer stops buying energy from the distributor, and the generation andtransmission becomes obsolete, generating waste for the environment.c) Exclusively technical, as the consumer connects the phases and the neutral to the SIN…
The demand equation for a popular brand of fruit drink is given by the equation Qx=10-5Px+0.00I +10Py where Qx=monthly consumption per family in gallons Px=price per gallon of the fruit drink=GHC2.00 I=median annual family income=GHC20,000 Py=price per gallon of a competing brand of fruit drink=GHC2.5 a.Interpret the parameter estimates b.At the stated values of the explanatory variables,calculate the monthly consumption(gallons)of the fruit drink c.suppose that median annual family income increased to GHC30,000.How does this change your answer to part b?
