Consider a process consisting of three resources. Assume there exists unlimited demand for the product, and that all activities are always performed in the following sequence. Resource 1 has a processing time of 16 minutes per unit.
Resource 2 has a processing time of 9 minutes per unit.
Resource 3 has a processing time of 11 minutes per unit.
All three resources are staffed by one worker and each worker gets paid $13 per hour.
f) If one additional worker could be hired, to which resource should the additional resources be assigned? Calculate the process capacity.
g) If they could take 1 minute of task time from one resource and give it to another resource (so the labor content remains the same), What would be the new capacity of the process (units per hour)? Assume that there is still only 1 worker per station.
h) What would be the capacity of the process if they integrated the work so that all workers do all three tasks (units per hour)? Assume that there is still only 1 worker per station.

The east asiatic company (eac), a danish company with subsidiaries throughout asia, has been funding its bangkok subsidiary primarily with u.s. dollar debt because of the cost and availability of dollar capital as opposed to thai baht-denominated (b) debt. the treasurer of eac-thailand is considering a 1-year bank loan for $247,000.the current spot rate is b32.03 /$, and the dollar-based interest is 6.78% for the 1-year period. 1-year loans are 12.04% in baht.a. assuming expected inflation rates of 4.3 % and 1.24% in thailand and the united states, respectively, for the coming year, according to purchase power parity, what would the effective cost of funds be in thai baht terms? b. if eac's foreign exchange advisers believe strongly that the thai government wants to push the value of the baht down against the dollar by5% over the coming year (to promote its export competitiveness in dollar markets), what might the effective cost of funds end up being in baht terms? c. if eac could borrow thai baht at 13% per annum, would this be cheaper than either part (a) or part (b) above?

Problem page a medical equipment industry manufactures x-ray machines. the unit cost c (the cost in dollars to make each x-ray machine) depends on the number of machines made. if x machines are made, then the unit cost is given by the function =cx+−0.3x2126x31,935 . how many machines must be made to minimize the unit cost?
