Answer:

The correct answer is b. Take advantage of economies of scale and scope by opening a chain of lower priced economy hotels that leverage the Coastal Haven brand image.

Explanation:

The economy of scale refers to the power that a company has when it reaches an optimum level of production to produce more at a lower cost, that is, as production in a company grows, its costs per unit produced are reduced. The more it produces, the less it costs to produce each unit.

In other words, it means that if in a production function the quantity of all inputs used is increased by one percentage, the output produced can increase by that same percentage or increase by greater or lesser amount than the same percentage. If it increases by the same percentage, we would be faced with constant economies of scale, if it were in more, they would be growing economies of scale, if it were in less, in decreasing economies of scale.

In microeconomics, economy of scale is understood as the advantages in terms of costs that a company obtains thanks to the expansion and good synergies that it has applied to its competitive environment .

The concept of "economies of scale" serves for the long term, and refers to reductions in unit cost as the size of an installation and the levels of input utilization increase. The usual sources of economies of scale are the inventory (large-scale purchase of materials through long-term contracts), management and logistics (increasing the specialization of managers), financial (obtaining lower interest costs in bank financing), marketing and technology (benefiting of the scale yields in the production function).

The country of Baurisia has, until now, been self-sufficient in both grain and meat. However, with growing prosperity in Baurisi
meriva

Answer:

D) It is more economical for Baurisians to import meat than grain.

Explanation:

The argument states that meat consumption in Baurisia is steadily increasing while domestic production is not.

There are two alternatives:

  1. import more grains to feed more animals and produce more meat (the argument favors this option),
  2. or simply import more meat.

But if importing meat is cheaper than importing grains, then there is no need to import more grains in order to feed animals and later get meat from them, you just simply and directly import meat.

The is the interest rate that a firm pays on any new debt financing. Andalusian Limited (AL) can borrow funds at an interest rat
valina [46]

Answer:

5.34%

The correct option is C,5.60%

Explanation:

The are two requirements here,the first is after cost of debt for the first part of the case study and after tax cost of debt for the second part of the scenario:

1.after tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-t)

pretax cost of debt is 9.7%

t is the tax rate at 45% or 0.45

after tax cost of debt=9.7%*(1-0.45)=5.34%

2.

The pretax cost of debt here is computed using the rate formula in excel:

=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)

nper is the number of times the bond pays coupon interest which is 15

pmt is the annual coupon interest receivable by investors i.e $1000*12%=$120

pv is the current market price of the bond which is $1,136.50

fv is the face value of the bond at $1000

=rate(15,120,-1136.50,1000)

rate =10.19%

after tax cost of debt=10.19% *(1-0.45)=5.60%

Answer:

(Q, R) = (1555, 1400)

shortage imputed = $0.388

Explanation:

Lot size-reorder point system is one of the multi period models. This system is denoted by decision variables (Q, R). This multi period model is implemented when there is uncertain demand in inventory control.

nevertheless, in the simple EOQ model, demand is known and fixed. But when the demand is random, these lot size-reorder point (Q, R) systems allow random demand.

There are two decision variables in a (Q, R) system:

Order quantity, Q and

Reorder point, R
