The following process is used to assemble bicycles. The process is fully automated, and the capacity rate of each machine is given in the parentheses: Currently there is one machine at each station. You are considering about purchasing additional machines to expand the process capacity. Suppose you have a budget of $5,000, and the cost of the four machines is given as follows: M1 M2 M3 М4 Cost ($) 1,500 2,500 1,200 800 Assume that, for all four machines, the additional one has the same capacity as the current one. Please come up with a plan, specifying how you are going to spend the $5,000 budget and what is the maximum increase in process capacity that you can achieve

What is the average variable cost per calculator? What is the total fixed cost? What is the average fixed cost per calculator under normal operating conditions? A foreign distributor offers to buy 50 calculators per week from AM over a one month period, to be marketed under a different brand name. The distributor offers a price of $10 per calculator. Should AM accept the offer? What is the least price AM should accept for this kind of arrangement?
Mirtha owns an online jewelry store that specializes in earrings. In March, she sells 50 pairs of earrings priced at $15. The cost of materials to create the 50 pairs of earrings was $100.
