Answer: price leadership
Explanation: Price leadership is a circumstance where one business, typically the dominant one in its market, sets prices that its rivals follow closely.
This business is typically the one with the minimum cost of production, thus being able to outperform the prices charged by any rival who tries to set their prices below the price range of the market leader.
Rivals could increase prices than the cost leader, but this would likely lead to lower share of the market unless rivals were able to distinguish their goods adequately.
Hence from the above we can conclude that the given case depicts price leadership strategy.
Answer:
$17,450
Explanation:
The antique painting that was bought in January 1996 was sold for $21,000
It was sold for 4,200 in January 2021
It received a net auction fee of 650
Therefore the allowable loss can be calculated as follows
= 21,000-4200+650
= 17,450
Hence the allowable loss is $17,450
Answer:
Instructions are listed below
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
For the purchase option:
Buying price= $22 per unit.
For the make option:
Weekly rental payment of $30,800
The firm also has to hire five operators to help make product A. Each operator works eight hours per day, five days per week at the rate of $14 per hour.
The material cost for the make option is $15 per unit of product A.
A) We need to find the number of units that makes the unitary fixed costs= $7
Weekly rental= 30800
Direct labor= ($14*8 hours*5workes)*5 days= 2800
Total fixed costs= $33,600
Unitary fixed costs= total fixed costs/ Q
7=33600/Q
Q= 4800 units
B) Now Q= 6600
Buy= 6600*22= $145,200
Make= 6600*15 + 33600= $132,600
Answer:
6.67 years
Explanation:
The number of years for the firm to reach the desired value of $1.2 million can determined using the nper formula in excel as below:
=nper(rate,pmt,pv,-fv)
rate is the interest rate earns by the fund at 10% per year
pmt is the addition to the fund in each year which is $50,000
pv is the current amount in the fund which is $400,000
fv is the desired value of $1.2 million
=nper(10%,50000,400000,-1200000)= 6.67 years
It would take 6.67 years for the sinking fund to reach the desired value of $1,200,000
