Answer:
Given,
Annual demand, D = 12500,
Setting up cost, S = $ 49,
Production rate per year, P = production facility × capability of production = 300 × 105 = 31500,
Holding cost per year, H = $ 0.15,
Hence,
(i) Optimal size of the production run,
(ii) Average holding cost per year,
(iii) Average setup cost per year,
(iv) Total cost per year = average setup cost per year + average holding cost per year + cost to purchase 12500 lights
= 166.44 + 166.48 + 12500(0.95)
= $ 12207.92
Answer:
Explanation:
United States is producing 200 tons of hamburgers and 60 tons of tacos.
United States' opportunity cost for producing 1 ton of hamburgers
=
= 0.3
United States' opportunity cost for producing 60 tons of tacos.
=
= 3.33
So we see that US has a lower opportunity cost in producing hamburgers, so it has a comparative advantage in producing hamburgers.
Mexico is producing 40 tons of hamburgers and 50 tons of tacos.
Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of hamburgers
=
= 1.25
Mexico's opportunity cost of producing a ton of tacos
=
= 0.8
So we see that Mexico has a lower opportunity cost in producing tacos, so it has a comparative advantage in making tacos.
Since US specializes in making hamburgers, it will produce 200 tons of hamburgers and 0 tons of tacos.
Mexico specializes in making tacos, it will produce 50 tons of tacos and 0 tons of hamburgers.
