Studies on a machine that molds plastic water pipe indicate that when it is injecting 1-inch-diameter pipe, the process standard deviation is 0.05 inches. The 1-inch pipe has a specification of 1 inch plus or minus 0.10 inch. What is the process capability index ( Cpk) if the long-run process mean is 1 inch?
Answer:
0.67
Explanation:
Given the following :
Process standard deviation(sd) = 0.05
Mean (m) = 1
specification of 1 inch plus or minus 0.10 inch
Upper specification limit(USL) = 1 + 0.1 = 1.1
Lower specification limit (LSL) = 1 - 0.1 =. 0.9
Cpk = min [[(m - USL) / 3(sd)], [(m - LSL) / 3(sd)]]
Cpk = min [[(1 - 1.1)/3(0.05)], [(1-0.9)/3(0.05)]]
Cpk = min[ -0.1/0.15], [ 0.1 / 0.15]
Cpk = min(-0.67, 0.67)
Several reasons were provided for why many professional sports teams are struggling to sell the naming rights to their venues. What is the central reason that teams like the Washington Nationals have not yet been able to find a naming rights partner
Answer:
Explanation:
The most likely reason for this situation is that many of the most prominent brands have already entered into naming rights deals and are no longer available as potential prospects. Prominent brands move fast in order to secure the best deals as fast as possible and make profitable financial moves, which in term closes and shrinks the market to very few potential prospects which may not have a reason to enter into a deal with such available teams.

Suppose when a monopolist produces 50 units its average revenue is $8 per unit, its marginal revenue is $4 per unit, its marginal cost is $4 per unit, and its average total cost is $3 per unit. What can we conclude about this monopolist? a. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $200. b. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $250. c. The monopolist is not currently maximizing its profits; it should produce more units and charge a lower price to maximize profit. d. The monopolist is not currently maximizing its profits; it should produce fewer units and charger a higher price to maximize profit.
Answer:
b. The monopolist is currently maximizing profits, and its total profits are $250
Explanation:
The computation of monopolist is shown below:-
The monopolist is producing 50 units ate which are
MR = $4
Price = $8
MC = $4
ATC = $3
This applies that
MR = MC
while
P > ATC
So the monopolist is making a profit by making profit-maximizing quantity.
Total profits are (P - ATC) × Q
= (8 - 3) × 50
= $250
Hence, b option is correct

There are 120 mangoes in a basket and 168 mangoes in another basket.
Find the greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time
from each basket so that both of them will be emptied simultaneously.
Answer:
The greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time from each basket so that both of them emptied simultaneously is the number of mangoes in each basket which is 120 mangoes for one basket and 168 mangoes for the other basket
Explanation:
Given that the number of mangoes in one basket = 120 mangoes
Also, the number of mangoes in another basket = 168 mangoes
The greatest number of mangoes, X and Y that are to taken out from each basket so that both of them will empty simultaneously is found as follows;
We note that the ratio of the number of mangoes in both baskets are;
120:168 = 5:7
Therefore, we have;
5 × Y = 120
Y = 20/5 = 24
Similarly, we have;
7 × X = 168
X = 168/7 = 24
We can take 5 mangoes from one basket and 7 mangoes from the other basket 24 times, for both mangoes to empty the same time
We can also take 5×12 = 60 mangoes twice from one basket and 7 × 12 = 84 mangoes twice from the other basket to empty the baskets
We can also take 120 mangoes one from one basket and 168 mangoes one from the other basket to empty the baskets.
Therefore, the greatest number of mangoes which are to be taken out at a time from each basket so that both of them emptied simultaneously is the number of mangoes in each basket which is 120 mangoes for one basket and 168 mangoes for the other basket.
Dervish Company uses LIFO for all of its inventories. During its second quarter of 2009, Dervish experienced a LIFO liquidation.

A real estate office handles a 80-unit apartment complex. When the rent is $550 per month, all units are occupied. For each $25 increase in rent, however, an average of one unit becomes vacant. Each occupied unit requires an average of $50 per month for service and repairs. What rent should be charged to obtain a maximum profit
Answer:
The real estate should charge $1,300 to obtain maximum profit.
Explanation:
We can make K to represent the number of unit apartment occupied.
This means that the total rent the real estate office is getting can be denoted by;
{(550 + 25(80 - K)} K - 50K
Maximizing the above equation, we have;
y = 550K + 2,000K - 25K^2 - 50K
Collect like terms
= 2,500K - 25K^2
y' = (2,500K - 25K^2)' = 2,500 - 50K
y = 0
2,500 - 50K = 0
2,500 = 50K
K= 50
Rent is therefore;
Rent = 550 + (80 - K)25, where K is 50
= 550 + (80 - 50)25
= 550 + (30)25
= 550 + 750
= $1,300

Liam is willing to buy the last ticket to the avant premier of Star Wars for $15, while Alexander is willing to pay $20. Liam is first in line and buys a ticket for $15. Liam could sell his ticket to Alexander for $18, but he can't because of government regulation preventing the reselling of tickets. The regulation, then, is causing:
Answer:
Potential total surplus to increase.
Explanation:
As we know that:
Producer Surplus = Market value - Minimum price to sell
This means that for Liam:
Market value at which he can sell the ticket was $18 and the minimum price was $15
By putting values, we have:
Liam's surplus = $18 - $15 = $3
Now
Consumer Surplus = Consumer willing to Pay - Consumer Paid
For Alexander, the amount he was willing to pay was $20 and what he actually paid was $18 if the regulation hasn't intervened.
Alexander's surplus = $20 - $18 = $2
This means that the regulation prevents the increase in the potential total surplus and this has increased the dead weight loss of $5.
