Electronics assembly inc. is a contract manufacturer that assembles consumer electronics for a number of companies. currently, the operations manager is assessing the capacity requirements as input into a bid for a job to assemble cell phones for a major global company. the company would assemble three models of cell phones in the same assembly cell. setup time between the phones is negligible. electronics assembly inc. operates two 8-hour shifts for 275 days per year. cell phone demand forecast (phones/year) processing time (minutes/phone) mars 47,000 19.8 saturn 35,000 20.7 neptune 7,500 16.2 a. calculate total capacity required by line. b. determine the total operating time available. c. calculate the total number of assembly cells. (round up your answer to the next whole number.)

The monthly demand equation for an electric utility company is estimated to be p equals 60 minus left parenthesis 10 superscript negative 5 baseline right parenthesis x, where p is measured in dollars and x is measured in thousands of killowatt-hours. the utility has fixed costs of $3 comma 000 comma 000 per month and variable costs of $32 per 1000 kilowatt-hours of electricity generated, so the cost function is upper c left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 3 times 10 superscript 6 baseline plus 32 x. (a) find the value of x and the corresponding price for 1000 kilowatt-hours that maximize the utility's profit. (b) suppose that the rising fuel costs increase the utility's variable costs from $32 to $38, so its new cost function is upper c 1 left parenthesis x right parenthesis equals 3 times 10 superscript 6 baseline plus 38 x. should the utility pass all this increase of $6 per thousand kilowatt-hours on to the consumers?
