Ritz​ Products's materials​ manager, Tej​ Dhakar, must determine whether to make or buy a new semiconductor for the wrist TV tha

t the firm is about to produce. Three million units are expected to be produced over the life cycle. If the product is​ made, start-up and production costs of the make decision total ​$ 2 ​million, with a probability of 0.4 that the product will be satisfactory and a 0.6 probability that it will not. If the product is not​ satisfactory, the firm will have to reevaluate the decision. If the decision is​ reevaluated, the choice will be whether to spend another ​$ 2 million to redesign the semiconductor or to purchase. Likelihood of success the second time that the make decision is made is 0.5. If the second make decision also​ fails, the firm must purchase. Regardless of when the purchase takes​ place, Dhakar's best judgment of cost is that Ritz will pay ​$ 0.40 for each purchased semiconductor plus ​$ 1 million in vendor development cost.
​a) Assuming that Ritz must have the semiconductor​ (stopping or doing without is not a viable​ option), what is the best​ decision?
The firm should
____
the semiconductors because this decision has an expected cost of ​$
____. ​(Enter your response as an integer​.)

Since Ritz Products must have the semiconductor, its best decision should be to purchase the semiconductors.  The decision to purchase has an expected cost of $2,200,000.

  • This will be far less than the cost of producing the semiconductor because the probability of success for the production option is only 0.4 with a higher failure probability of 0.6 involving additional cost of $2 million.

  • Whereas, the cost of purchasing the semiconductors is only $2.2 million, calculated as follows:

Cost of Purchase:

Variable cost = $1.2 million (3 million x $0.40)

Fixed cost = $1 million

Total costs = $2.2 million

Thus, it will cost Ritz Products only $2.2 million to purchase the semiconductor.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

500

Explanation:

please find attached the table referred to in this question and a second table where marginal cost is included

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply.

in a perfect competition, price = marginal cost = marginal revenue

Marginal cost = total cost 2 - total cost 1

e.g. marginal cost at 2 units of output = $7 - $2 = $5

Hank and Helen would supply at the point  where marginal cost is equal to $5.

looking at the second attached table, there are two points where marginal cost is equal to $5. at output 1 and output 5.

at output one, Hank and Helen would be earning a loss because total cost is greater than total revenue. so they would not supply at this point.

at output five, Hank and Helen would earn a profit and thus would supply at 5 units of output.

Since all firms face and identical cost structure, the industry supply would be 100 x 5 = 500 pounds

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. equal to both average revenue and marginal revenue.

Explanation:

A perfectly competitive market or market of perfect competition is that market in which two characteristics are fulfilled:

1) there is a large number of buyers and sellers in such a way that the influence they individually exert on prices is negligible;

2) the goods or services that are exchanged are the same. [Supply and demand] Perfect competition is the situation of a market where companies lack the power to manipulate the price (price-acceptors), and there is a maximization of well-being.

This results in an ideal situation of the goods and services markets, where the interaction of supply and demand determines the price. A perfectly competitive market has the following characteristics: There are many buyers and sellers in the market. The goods offered by different vendors are largely identical. Companies can freely enter and exit the market.
