In an effort to reduce pipe breakage, water hammer, and product agitation, a French chemical company plans to install several ch

emically resistant pulsation dampeners. The cost of the dampeners today is €125,000, but the chemical company has to wait until a permit is approved for its bidirectional port-to-plant product pipeline. The permit approval process will take at least 2 years because of the time required for preparation of an environmental impact statement. Because of intense foreign competition, the manufacturer plans to increase the price only by the inflation rate of 4% each year.

Answer:

a)  €152081.6128

b)  €125000

Explanation:

a) The cost of dampners in terms of then-current euros :

current cost x(1 + inflation rate)ⁿ where n is the number of years.

Since the price of dampners is expected to increase only by 4% per year from the current price of €125,000 in 5 years:

We calculate : 125000 (1+0.04)⁵ = €152081.6128

The cost of dampeners in terms of then-current euros is €152081.6128

b) The cost of dampners in terms of constant value will remain as at today's current price if the value of Euros remains constant . Therefore, The cost of dampeners in terms of constant-value euros is €125,000.

Suppose Germany, a large country, imposes a tariff on tuna imports. Before the tariff, all the countries in the world are engage
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

1. This is true.

The Germans will pay a higher price for tuna because the tariff will increase the price of imported tuna and the reduction in completion with the local producers will lead to higher prices as the local producers take up their price.

2. This is true.

German producers no longer have to compete as much with imported tuna which was cheaper. They will therefore be able to raise their prices.

3. This statement is false.

The world price of Tuna DOES NOT increase because the tariff is only applicable in Germany. Other parts of the world will trade tuna as before. This is what is assumed.

4. This statement is true.

If Vietnam was exporting tuna to Germany, they will become worse off because they will see a decline in demand for their tuna on account of the tariffs making the tuna more expensive.

5. This is false.

Vietnamese tuna consumers will still pay the same price to get tuna because Vietnam produces the tuna. It is Vietnam's producers that will suffer not the consumers.

Mars Inc. produces 100,000 boxes of Snickers bars which sell for $4 a box. If variable costs are $3 per box, and it has $150,000
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

It should continue the production in the short-run.

Explanation:

Given the unit produced by Mars Inc. = 100000 boxes.

The selling price of boxes = $4 per box.

The variable costs = $3 per box.

The fixed costs = $150000

The total sales revenue = number of boxes × selling price

= 100000 × 4

= $ 400000

In the short run, the firm should continue its production because it still covers the variable costs.
