Charles Lackey operates a bakery in Idaho Falls, Idaho. Because of its excellent product and excellent location, demand has increased by 25% in the last year. On far too many occasions, customers have not been able to purchase the bread of their choice. Because of the size of the store, no new ovens can be added. As a staff meeting, one employee suggested ways to load the ovens differently so that more loaves of bread can be baked at one time. This new process will require that the ovens be loaded by hand, requiring additional manpower. This is the only thing to be changed. The bakery makes 1,500 loaves per month with a labor productivity of 2.344 loaves per labor-hour, how many workers will lackey need to add?

Answer:

It would take is one worker to finish it. The further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given value are:

Complete loaves for every hour of labor  

= 2.244

Each employee who works every month.  

= 160 hours

Monthly output of one worker will be:

= [tex]Total \ loaves\times Total \ hours[/tex]

= [tex]2.344\times 160[/tex]

= [tex]375.04 \ loaves[/tex]

The increased competition, as we know, seems to be "25%" of 1,500 loaves every month.

= [tex]1500\times 25 \ percent[/tex]

= [tex]375[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{375}{375.04}[/tex]

= [tex]0.99[/tex]

Throughout preparation around for job to be completed, Lackely would need to employ another worker although one worker's monthly output is equivalent to 375.04 loaves as well as the minimum additional loaves every month becomes 375, so what it would take is one worker to finish it.

A father and mother are planning a savings program to put their daughter through college. Their daughter is now 8 years old. She plans to enroll at the university when she is 18 and it should take her 4 years to complete her education. Currently, the cost per year (for tuition, etc.) is $16,200, but a 2 percent inflation rate in these costs is forecasted. The cost for each year of college will be withdrawn when she turns 18, 19, 20, and 21. The daughter received $13,000 at age 4 and another $2,900 at age 6 from her grandmother; this money, which is invested in an account earning 7.5 percent interest compounded annually, will be used to help meet the costs of the daughter's education. The rest of the costs will be met by money the parents will deposit in the savings account. They will make 4 equal annual deposits to the account, with the first deposit being made today on her 8th birthday and the last one being made on her 11th birthday. These deposits will also earn 7.5 percent interest compounded annually. How large must each deposit (from the parents) be in order to put the daughter through college
