Firm A currently dumps 157 tons of chemicals into the local river. Firm B currently dumps 183 tons of chemicals into the local r

Kruka [31]

Answer:

$20,670

Explanation:

Firm A Firm B

Actual Dumping 157 183

Pollution Permits Allotted <u> 11 </u> <u> 11 </u>

Reduction Required 146 172

Cost of Dumping 1 ton $160 $65

As the cost of dumping to Firm A is $160 which is higher than the marginal cost of dumping of Firm B which is $65, so it is better that Firm B take benefit from it by selling it at $65. So now total tons require dumping is 318 tons (146 + 172).

Total cost of reducing pollution = 318 tons * $65 = $20,670

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

For each situation, identify the possible root cause or causes of activity cost, among these:

1. Plant Layout

2. Process design

3. Product design

(A) PROCESS DESIGN

The design of the process of production is the root cause of activity cost here. From the rates given, it's clear that the manual method of production costs more time and money than the mechanical production method.

A minor cause of activity cost here is the PRODUCT DESIGN; the cost of which varies with the use of labour and the use of machine.

(B) PRODUCT DESIGN

Change in design of the gear (removal of some component parts) reduces set up time and cost.

(C) PLANT LAYOUT

Redesign of manufacturing plant saves the time and cost of moves.

You work for a marketing firm that has just landed a contract with Run-of-the-Mills to help them promote three of their products

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

Here, when the price of guppy gummies increases by 5%, the quantity of raskels sold decreases by 4% and the quantity of cannes sold increases by 5%.

i.e, % change in price of guppy grummies = 5%

% change in quantity of raskels = -4%

% change in quantity of cannes = 5%

i) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and raskels. Use the expression below.

% change in quantity demanded of raskels / % change in price of guppy gummies

= -4% / 5%

= -0.8

Substitute goods have a negative cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is negative, the goods are substitute.

It is recommended not to advertise raskels with guppy grummies

ii) Find the Cross price elasticity of demand between guppy grummies and cannes. Use the expression below.

% change in quantity demanded of cannes / % change in price of guppy gummies

= 5% / 5%

= 1

Complement goods have a positive cross price elasticity of demand. Since, the cross price elasticity of demamd here is positive, the goods complement each other.

It is recommended to advertise cannes with guppy grummies.

A store manager must decide how many rug cleaners to rent to customers. The manager estimates that the first would yield $200 a

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The store manager must decide to buy 3

Explanation:

Given that:

The first: $200 a year
The second $150
The third $75,
The fourth $50
Interest rate is 12 percent
Investment: $500

As we know that the rate of return will be: Income / Investment

So the rate of return of:

The first: $200 / $500 = 0.4 = 40%
The second $150 / $500 = 0,3 = 30%
The third $75 / $500 = 0.15 = 15%
The fourth $50 / $500 = 0.1 = 10%

Only three rug cleaners have the rate of return greater than the interest rate so the store manager must decide to buy 3
