Bernardo Beefmaster has 50 cull cows that average 1100 Ibs and he purchased them for $60/cwt. He fed the cows for 55 days and sold them at 1260 Ibs for $65/cwt. The cows averaged about 30 lbs of feed per day, and cost $7/cwt. Calculate the average daily gain, feed efficiency (feed:gain), feed only cost of gain, breakeven per pound and total, and the total margin. WHAT IS THE BREAKEVEN VALUE PER POUND?
How do you solve a problem similar to this? I’m confused on how to solve to find the quantity when you have the other variables. (Q1-15)-Q1/ ((Q1-15)+Q1)/2 = -30.30
20 O It costs a pharmaceutical company $35,000 to produce a 1000-pound batch of a drug. The average yield from a batch is unknown but the best case is 90% yield (that is, 900 pounds of good drug will be produced), the most likely case is 85% yield, and the worst case is 70% yield. The annual demand for the drug is unknown, with the best case being 22,000 pounds, the most likely case 18,000 pounds, and the worst case 12.000 pounds. The drug sells for $60 per pound and leftover amounts of the drug can be sold for $8 per pound. To maximize annual expected profit, how many batches of the drug should the company produce? You can assume that it will produce the batches only once, before demand for the drug is known. You should consider a range of batches between 13 and 22.
You own a family farm, worth $500,000, and need to decide what to do with this year’s earnings of $400,000. (i) You could put the money in the bank and earn a safe 5% return. (ii) Or you could pay $200,000 to plant a new crop, which will yield a harvest in six months; if there is rain, the harvest will bring in $1.000,000 in revenues, but if there is a drought it will yield just $100,000 in revenues. (iii) A third alternative is to plant Santo drought-resistant seed corn, which will cost $500,000, but yield revenues of $1,000,000 if there is rain or $700,000 if there is no rain. You are risk averse, and your reference for family wealth (W) is given by U(W) = √W [Square root of W]. The probability of a summer drought is 0.33. Which of the three options should you choose? Explain.
K An analysis of accidents in a rural state indicates that widening a highway from 30 ft to 40 ft will decrease the annual accident rate from 1,270 to 660 per million vehicle-miles Calculate the average daily number of vehicles that should use the highway to justify widening on the basis of the following estimates: (1) the average loss per accident is $1,000, (ii) the cost of widening is $107,000 per mile (iii) the useful life of the widened road is 25 years; (iv) annual maintenance costs are 3% of the capital investment and (v) MARR is 12% per year. Click the icon to view the interest and annuity table for discrete compounding when the MARR is 12% per year. Choose the correct answer below OA. The average daily number of vehicles is about 36 vehicles per day OB. The average daily number of vehicles is about 61 vehicles per day OC. The average daily number of vehicles is about 70 vehicles per day OD. The average daily number of vehicles is about 43 vehicles per day OE. The average daily…
A consulting company estimated market demand and supply in a perfectly competitive industry and obtained the following results: Qd =25,000-5,000P+ 25M Q=240,000+ 5,000P-2,000P, where Pis price. Mis income, and P;is the price of a key input. The forecasts for the next year are M-$15,000 and P, $20. Average variable cost is estimated to be AVC-14-0.008Q+0.0000020² Total fixed cost will be $6,000 next year. Suppose that income for next year is forecasted to be $9,000 instead. What is the profit-maximizing output choice for the firm?
