The management of dominican sugar company is considering whether to process further raw sugar into refined sugar. refined sugar can be sold for $2.20 per pound, and raw sugar can be sold without further processing for $1.40 per pound. raw sugar is produced in batches of 42,000 pounds by processing 100,000 pounds of sugar cane, which costs $0.35 per pound of cane. refined sugar will require additional processing costs of $0.50 per pound of raw sugar, and 1.25 pounds of raw sugar will produce 1 pound of refined sugar. 1. prepare a differential analysis as of march 24 to determine whether to sell raw sugar (alternative 1) or process further into refined sugar (alternative 2)

2. briefly report your recommendations.

The 39 percent and 38 percent tax rates both represent what is called a tax "bubble." suppose the government wanted to lower the upper threshold of the 39 percent marginal tax bracket from $335,000 to $208,000. what would the new 39 percent bubble rate have to be? (do not round intermediate calculations. enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places,e.g., 32.16.)

If springfield is operating at full employment who is working a. everyone b. about 96% of the workforce c. the entire work force d. the robots

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
