Answer:

Cost Advantage of different locations:

b. $20,000

Phoenix certainly had a cost advantage over Atlanta and based on this factor, it should be chosen for the new plant instead of any other city.

Explanation:

a) Total Costs of different locations:

                        Atlanta       Phoenix

Fixed Cost      $80,000     $140,000

Variable cost  400,000      320,000

Total Costs  $480,000    $460,000

b) Variable costs

                                   Atlanta       Phoenix

Annual Demand        20,000        20,000

Variable cost/unit        $20              $16

Total variable cost  $400,000  $320,000

c) Cost Advantage is the competitive edge which location (or company) can have over another through reduced production or marketing costs or both so that it can offer cheaper prices or use excess profits to bolster promotion or distribution.   In this case, the comparison is on the total cost, which is made of variable and fixed costs.

In a dealer market, some dealers hold a certain inventory of specific securities and create a liquid market by purchasing and se
UNO [17]

Answer:

Dealers profit comes from the spread primarily. Spread is the differential amount between buying and selling.

Explanation:

Let us assume the price of security X is USD 100 (last trade price)

A dealer will purchase this security at discounted price from the investor say USD 99 and will sell the same security in the market at USD 100, thus earning spread.

Further being market markers, dealers often use multiple strategies to prop up the price of  particular security and earn gains on inventory held.

mina [271]

Answer:

Sample size = 384.16 ≈ 385

If we increase the order size to 25,000, there will be no change in the sample size as sample size is independent of the number of orders

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of sales order received  per day = 2500

Confidence level = 95%

Certainty factor for 95% certainty = 1.96

Now,

Sample size = 0.25\times(\frac{\textup{Certainty factor}}{\textup{1 -Desired accuracy}})^2

on substituting the respective values, we get

Sample size = 0.25\times(\frac{\textup{1.96}}{\textup{1 - 0.95}})^2

or

Sample size = 384.16 ≈ 385

If we increase the order size to 25,000, there will be no change in the sample size as sample size is independent of the number of orders
