XYZ company employs a four-step production process to produce metal-alloy-coated precision parts. The first step is fabrication. The fabrication machine takes 7.5 minutes per unit to mold raw material into the proper shape of a part. The second step is coating. The coating machine applies a layer of one of many metal alloys at high heat. The coating machine takes 24 minutes, and it can coat up to six units of parts (of the same metal alloy) at a time. The third step is cooling. It takes 50 minutes for a coated part to cool. No equipment is required for this step, and there is plenty of cooling space. The fourth step is polishing, which takes 5 minutes per part. For simplicity, you should assume the production system operates continuously (i. e., 24 hours a day) and that the system has been running for some time. A) Currently, XYZ is following a production sequence in which each part produced is a coated with a different alloy than the last one (e. g., an aluminum-alloy part is followed by a titanium-alloy part, which is followed by a bronze-alloy part, etc.). As a result, the coating machine can coat one unit at a time. What is the capacity of the production process?
B) In February, XYZ purchased an additional polishing machine. What is the capacity of the production process now? Explain why it has (or has not) changed from your answer to Question A.
C) In March, XYZ changed to produce parts in batches of two (e. g., produce two aluminum-alloy parts, followed by two titanium-alloy parts, which is followed by two bronze-alloy parts, etc.). What is the capacity of the production process now (assume no setup time for each batch)? Explain why it has (or has not) changed from your answer to Question B.
D) In April, XYZ purchased a second coating machine. (XYZ continues to produce parts in batches of two.) What is the capacity of the production process now? Explain why it has (or has not) changed from your answer to Question C.
E) In April, XYZ installed fans throughout the cooling space which reduced the cooling time to 15 minutes. What is the capacity of the production process now? Explain why it has (or has not) changed from your answer to Question D.

Weekly sales at nancy's restaurant total $ 84,000. labor required is 420 hours at a cost of $21,000. raw materials used amount to $40,000. what is the partial measure of productivity for labor hours?

Me with this asap. i will give 100 points and brainliest. part one of three (total of 100 points) how do gross national product (gnp) and gross domestic product (gdp) differ? while gnp includes investments as well as production of goods and services, gdp only includes production of goods and services. while gnp includes production by all people and businesses of a country, gdp only includes production within a country’s borders. while gnp includes production of all goods and services, gdp only includes production of final goods and services. while gnp includes imports and exports of goods and services, gdp only includes the net exports of goods and services. read the scenario. a united states company produces widgets in brazil. which is true about the calculation of widget production? the dollar value of the widgets would not be included in either a gnp or a gdp calculation. the dollar value of the widgets would be included in a gnp calculation. the dollar value of the widgets would be included in both a gnp and a gdp calculation. the dollar value of the widgets would be included in a gdp calculation. read the passage. this is the most widely used measure of inflation and is sometimes viewed as an indicator of the effectiveness of government economic policy. it provides information about price changes in the nation's economy to government, business, labor, and private citizens, and it is used by them to guide economic decisions. what is being described? consumer price index export price index producer price index import price index what is the primary tool used to measure inflation? consumer price index gross domestic product durable goods shipments gross national product how does a rise in life expectancy impact population growth? it slows population growth. it reverses population growth. it does not impact population growth. it increases population growth. why does nominal gross domestic product (gdp) sometimes seem larger than real gdp? real gdp counts only final products, whereas nominal gdp does not. real gdp counts imports, whereas nominal gdp does not. real gdp includes inflation in its calculation, whereas nominal gdp does not. real gdp uses an accurate calculation, whereas nominal gdp does not. why does nominal gross domestic product (gdp) sometimes seem larger than real gdp? real gdp counts only final products, whereas nominal gdp does not. real gdp counts imports, whereas nominal gdp does not. real gdp includes inflation in its calculation, whereas nominal gdp does not. real gdp uses an accurate calculation, whereas nominal gdp does not. what impact can government policies have on the business cycle? policies that lower interest rates may cause an economic contraction. policies that decrease spending may cause an economic expansion. policies that raise interest rates may cause an economic contraction. policies that lower taxes may cause an economic contraction. what is true regarding seasonal unemployment? it is much harder to predict than other types of unemployment. it is likely to last longer than other types of unemployment. it is not as troubling to the government as other types of unemployment. it has negative costs similar to those of other types of unemployment. read the sentence. the cost of lumber has increased 145 percent since last quarter. what is the most likely outcome in the furniture market? the market will see a rapid rise in inflation because inelastic products respond quickly to market forces. the market will see cost-push inflation because the increased cost of inputs force prices higher. the market will see demand-pull inflation because consumers need more of the product. the market will see no inflation because there has not been a change in personal income.
