Answer:

Ted = 1/3

Tom = 1/2

Ted

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives.

The opportunity cost of washing car for Ted = 20 / 60 = 1 / 3

The opportunity cost of washing car for Tom = 15 / 30 = 1/2

A person has a comparative advantage in production if he produces at a lower opportunity cost when compared with other people.

Ted has a lower opportunity cost in washing cars when compared to Tom. Therefore, Ted has a comparative advantage in washing cars.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

It should accept the special order at the price of $36 as the total marginal cost will be $28.5 (27 variable cost + 1.15 shipping cost).

Explanation:

Special orders are accepted only if marginal revenue increases the marginal cost. Marginal cost is the total cost incurred to fulfill any order.

In the given scenario, since the Company already has adequate capacity and it will not incur any additional fixed cost, therefore the order can be accepted by taking variable cost in to consideration.

Less: Marginal Cost

Variable Cost                      (27)

Shipping Cost                   <u> (1.15)</u>

Answer:

Explanation: The marketing mix consists of a number of factors that a producer usually exploits in order to influence consumers to purchase his/her products and services.

The marketing mix consists of:

- Product

- Price

- Place

- Promotion.

The above are usually called the 4Ps of marketing.

Of the four factors of the marketing mix, the factor that will the easiest for Lee to change will be the price.

This is because, often times, the price of a product or service will be the major determinant in the success of said commodity, and this is due to the fact that customers will compare the product being offered with its price in order to judge whether the product is worthy of the value placed on it.
