The cost C (in dollars) of manufacturing x number of high-quality computer laser printers is C(x)=9x^4/3+9x^2/3+600,000 Currently, the level of production is 1,728 printers and that level is increasing at the rate of 250 printers per month. Find the rate at which the cost is increasing each month. The cost is increasing at about $______ per month.

Sally Statistics is implementing a system of statistical process control (SPC) charts in her factory in an effort to reduce the overall cost of scrapped product. The current cost of scrap is $X per month. If a 75% learning curve is expected in the use of the SPC charts to reduce the cost of scrap, what would the percentage reduction in monthly scrap cost be after the charts have been used for 6 months? (Hint: Model each month as a unit of production.)
The time to assemble the first unit on a production line is 13 hours. The learning rate is 0.81. Approximately how long will it take for the eighth unit to be assembled? The number of hours needed for yhe eighth unit to be assembled is ? hours. (Round the one decimal place.)
A company that manufactures oximeters (devices that are placed on the fingers to measure the amount of oxygenation that a person is producing) has recently been stretched by high demand due to COVID-19. From that company, it is known that in the month of August 2020 a total of 10,000 oximeters were produced that qualified as conforming product, that the company was running a total of 25 days, Monday through Saturday, 9.5 hour shifts, of that time half an hour daily was for calibration and warm-up of the production machines and one hour daily was lunch for the workers. In addition, daily half-hour meetings are held to discuss the day's production. Because they are currently working under pressure due to high demand, there are no kanban waiting times. Determine the parts per hour of work that were produced during the month of August 2020.
Ella Co. uses a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. For the month of October, Ella's estimated manufacturing overhead cost was P300,000 based on an estimated activity level of 100,000 direct labor-hours. Actual overhead amounted to P325,000 with actual direct labor-hours totaling 110,000 for the month. How much was the overapplied or underapplied overhead? Answer Format: 1,000 overapplied or 1,000 underapplied
A small business produces and sells balls. The fixed costs are $20 and each ball costs $2.92 to produce. Each ball sells for $7.92. Write the equations for the total cost, C, and the revenue, R, then use the graphing method to determine how many balls must be sold to break even.

Question 9 Trenny has asked her assistant to prepare estimates of cost of two different sizes of power plants. The assistant reports that the cost of the 150 MW plant is $220,000,000, while the cost of the 270 MW plant is $400,000,000. If Trenny has a budget of only $300,000,000, estimate how large a power plant she could afford using linear interpolation (Enter your answer rounded to one decimal place and in MW eg. XX.X)?
The consumption of electricity in one area has increased historically at 6% per year.If it continues to increase at this rate indefinitely.Find the the number of years before the electricity utility would need to double the amount of generation capacity
Exact Formulas. Compare the doubling times found with the approximate and exact doubling time formulas. Then use the exact doubling time formula to answer the given question. A nation of 100 million people is growing at a rate of 3.5% per year. What will the nation’s population be in 30 years?
Find the Total Cost function as a function of q, c, d. A. w and r; and graph it in relationship to q in excel The idea is to solve the following input minimization problem ina general manner: minTC(K, L ) = wL+ rKs. t. q = AK^CL^d Make sure to set - up your spreadsheet by identifying the optimization problem, the endogenous variables, the exogenous variables and the constraint. Make sure also to show a cell that computes TRS and another that computes -w/r.
A system can be interpreted as a collection of objects such as people, resources, concepts, and procedures that are intended to perform certain functions or fulfill a purpose such as the following image: The Image illustrates how the system and its environment are in a unified whole. Based on this explanation, design 2 types of systems consisting of the components in the image taken in your current field of work. Give an explanation of how the mechanism of the system works ! Solve with step the explanation, need in 45-60 minutes max thank u. The chapter Enginering economy and system anlysis
Can you please start from point e), but please show your workings/calculations how did you get to the answer. Thank you!
