Please do not give solution in image format thanku Joe’s Java has three different workstations: one for drip coffee, one for espresso drinks, and one to prepare food. During the morning rush, Joe has 5 people working: one person at the drip coffee station, two at the espresso station, and two at the food prep station. These employees are not cross trained, and thus must stay at their station. On average, it takes the person at the drip coffee station 1 minute to make the coffee. On average, it takes one person working at the espresso station 3 minutes to make one espresso drink. On average, it takes one person working at the food station 4.5 minutes to prepare the food for one customer. The customer mix is as follows. 10% order just a drip coffee, 30% order a drip coffee and food, 35% order just an espresso drink, and 25% order an espresso drink plus food. A total of 40 customers/ hour frequent Joe's Java. What is the implied utilization at the espresso station? Provide your answer in…
On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.

Please no written by hand and no image According to the Washington Post article The Downsides of Cheap Corn, farmers' 2014 crop revenues were down from prior years, despite very productive harvests all around the United States.

An influx of farmers entering the agricultural market has led to fierce competition, driving down revenues. The increase in the supply of crops has decreased prices by a greater percentage than the percentage increase in quantity of sales. Consumer demand for agricultural crops such as corn, soybean, and wheat are at record lows
