Answer:

New Trade Theory

Explanation:

New Trade Theory explains one reason why some countries specialize in specific industries for factors other than natural resources, quantity of labor force, or comparative advantage.

This reason is that some industries can only support a limited number of firms around the world. An example of this is the aeronautic industry, which only has a few players, with two giant firms dominating above all others: Boeing (US), and Airbus (Europe).

While the United States and the European Union can specialize in making planes through their respective giant companies, most other countries in the world cannot do so: they neither have the techology, nor the expertise, nor the capital to create a successful competitor for Aribus or Boeing. It is not even clear if the market needs or would support a third industry giant either.

Under which conditions, according to the Porter five-forces model, can a supplier group gain power?

Tasya [4]

Answer:

b. When there is a lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group

Explanation:

According to Porter there are five forces that can cause rivalry in a production industry. These are supplier power, threat of new entrants, buyer power, threat of substitutes, and degree of rivalry.

Supplier power is when suppliers are able to benefit from the producers by increasing prices of inputs and gaining some industry profit. Since suppliers supply input and labour to the producer they have a greater control of there is lack of importance of the buyer to the supplier group.

This means that the supplier group has more control on price and quality it supplies to the buyer with buyer having little choice but to buy.

If however buyer is more important to the supplier it means they can control price and quality of inputs

A company has an opening stock of 6,000 units of output. The production planned for the current period is 24,000 units and expec

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

Last year Current year

Selling Price 10 10

Varaible Price 5 6

Contribution Margin 5 4

Break even is the point where total cost is equal to total revenue mean no profit and loss.

company earns the contribution margin after covering the variable cost, now only fix cost remains for break even.

Break Even using FIFO method : first In first out system

Fix Cost = 86000

contribution from opening units(6000*5) = 30000

Remaining Fix cost that should be Covered from

current year products = 56000

Units to be sold for break-even ( 56000/4) = 14000

so we have break even units 6000+14000 = 20000

Fix cost = -86000

Opening 6000*5 = 30000

Current 14000*4 = 56000

Profit = 0

Break Even using LIFO method : Last in first out

Fix Cost = 86000

Break even = Fix Cost / Contribution margin

Break even = 86000/4 =21500

current production is 24000 which is higher than break even units so we can cover the fix cost from current year production because company is using lifo method. we do not need opening units for the break even.
