Microeconomics Topic 6: “Be able to explain and calculate average and marginal cost to make production decisions.” Reference: Gregory Mankiw’s Principles of Microeconomics‚ 2nd edition‚ Chapter 13. Long-Run versus Short-Run In order to understand average cost and marginal cost‚ it is first necessary to understand the distinction between the “long run” and the “short run.” Short run: a period of time during which one or more of a firm’s inputs cannot be changed. Long run: a period of time during which

throughput but the limitation is the bottleneck. 3. The trucks wait because the processing capacity is less than the system input. And the temporary holding bins are inadequate to buffer the berries coming in and the plants processing capacity. But by using the Theory of Constraints to identify the system bottle necks we are able to discover the root cause of the waits. The large back log of berries is caused by several factors The plant is not currently equipped to handle the supply of wet berries

Algorithm to Calculate Basic Feasible Solution using Simplex Method Abstract: The problem of maximization/minimization deals with choosing the ideal set of values of variables in order to find the extrema of an equation subject to constraints. The simplex method is one of the fundamental methods of calculating the Basic Feasible Solution (BFS) of a maximization/minimization. This algorithm implements the simplex method to allow for quick calculation of the BFS to maximize profit or minimize loss

Cost Methods ACC/561 September 4‚ 2013 Cost Methods Absorption costing is a process in which you relate a portion of your fixed overhead costs to the manufacturing product cost. This process will be done on a per unit term. Divide the fixed costs by the number of units manufactured and sold over the period of the term. This will give you the cost of per unit for the amount made and the amount. With the variable costing unlike the absorption costing you will use the fixed

Different Methods for Cost Estimation Expert Judgment Method Expert judgment techniques involve consulting with software cost estimation expert or a group of the experts to use their experience and understanding of the proposed project to arrive at an estimate of its cost. Generally speaking‚ a group consensus technique‚ Delphi technique‚ is the best way to be used. The strengths and weaknesses are complementary to the strengths and weaknesses of algorithmic method. To provide a sufficiently

Abstract Bolt thread experiment was conducted to examine the major diameter‚ minor diameter‚ angle and the pitch of the bolt thread. Other than that‚ the purpose of this experiment is to compare the measured data with the standard thread from literature. The experiment was carried out by taking the measurement using optical projector. The shadow or the image of the bolt is traced and magnified on the broad of the optical profile projector. The crest and the toot of the bolt thread were picked to
