Answer: B. to prove Stew-topia engaged in predatory pricing, you would need to prove that Stewtopia priced stew below average variable cost with the specific intention of driving 2 Live Stew out of business
Explanation:
Predatory pricing is the pricing of goods in such a way that it is so low that it is even below average variable cost. The logic being that in the Shortrun, if a firm cannot cover it's variable cost, it would have to shutdown.
Larry would therefore be correct in saying that to prove Stew-topia engaged in predatory pricing, it would need to proven that Stewtopia priced stew below average variable cost with the specific intention of driving 2 Live Stew out of business.
PV = A*[1-(1+r)^-n]/r
A = annual payment = $100,000
r = Interest rate = 8% = 0.08
n = Number of year = 20
PV = present value of the earnings
Therefore,
PV = 100,000*[1-(1+0.08)^-20]/0.08 = $981,814.74
<span>In order to cut costs, most of the pay TV providers have incorporated large call centers where they hire poorly trained and low paid employees to answer customer calls. These employees lack incentive and generally don't care much about customers. One exception to the rule is DirecTV. They are known for the best customer service record in the industry. It uses outsourcing, but they have motivation, something lacking from other providers. Their reps get free satellite TV in their homes once they have been on the job for three months and are invited to special DirecTV events where they have chances to meet and greet celebrities and NFL stars. They are also given the ability to handle complaints themselves rather than just listening, noting and transferring calls.</span>
Answer:
A) economic order quantity ( order quantity model that will minimize the total holding cost and ordering costs ) = 
= 
= 122. 74 ≈ 122 ( optimal ordering quantity ) units
B) Annual holding cost = 23 * 122 / 2 = $1403
C ) Annual ordering costs = 1500/122 * 77 = $947
D ) The reorder point = daily demand * lead time = 50 * 3 = 150 units
Explanation:
Annual demand for connectors : 1500
ordering cost ( cost to place and process an order ) : $77
annual holding cost per unit : $23
A) economic order quantity ( order quantity model that will minimize the total holding cost and ordering costs ) = = = 122. 74 ≈ 122 ( optimal ordering quantity ) units
B) Annual holding cost = 23 * 122/2 = $1403
C ) Annual ordering costs = 1500 / 122 * 77 = $946.72 ≈ $947
D ) The reorder point = daily demand * lead time = 50 * 3 = 150 units
daily demand = 1500 / 300 = 50
lead time = 3
Answer:
A. wastefulness - production inside PPC ; B. Economy growth - PPC shift outwards/rightwards ; C. Economy at Productive Efficiency - production on PPC ; D. Unattainable Production- Outside PPC
Explanation:
PPC is graphical representation of production combinations that an economy can produce, given resources & technology.
PPC is based on assumption : That resources are best efficiently utilised. So, all product combinations ON PPC reflect 'Economy is at Productive Efficiency'
All production points INSIDE PPC reflect inefficient utilisation of resources i.e 'Wastage'
Points OUTSIDE PPC are 'Unattainable Product Combinations'- as they are beyond economy's best optimum production, given resources & technology.
'Economic growth' is increase in resources &/or technology which increases economy's production potential and PPC curve SHIFTS rightwards or outwards.
