ehidna [41]

Answer and Explanation:

I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:

The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.

The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.

The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.

The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.

Hence the answer is D.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

An economic union

Explanation:

Economic integration can be defined as a strategic trade arrangement between countries to eliminate or mitigate trade barriers, as well as coordinate fiscal and monetary policy among its members.

Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time. There are different types of market or trade bloc used in economic integration and these includes;

I. Customs union

II. Free trade area

III. Common market

IV. Political union

VI. Economic union

An economic union can be defined as a trade bloc which comprises of both customs union and a common market.

In a common market, there are free movement of the factors of production and no barrier to trade between member countries. Also, a common market establishes a common external trade policy for non-member countries.

However, an economic union entails even closer economic integration and cooperation among member countries than a common market because it combines customs union and a common market.

Tiny went back to his office after the meeting and began to crunch the numbers on the rapid inflator. At a price of $10 per unit
Artist 52 [7]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

<u> Part A </u>-   Inflatable divisions's Current Return on Investment = Yearly Earnings / Investment Cost * 100

There the Inflatable Division is Currently Earning $ 250,000 annually from an Asset base of $ 1,250,000

Therefore, ROI = 250000 / 1250000 * 100=20 \%

<u>Part B -   </u>Let the maximum variable cost be X.

Given that - 1. Selling Price per Unit = $10 , 2. No of Units to be produced = 40000 , 3. Annual Fixed Cost = $ 140000

Therefore ,   ROI = Current Earning + New Earning / Current Assets + New Assets

20% = 250000+[(10-\mathrm{X}) * 40000-\underline{140000}] / 1250000+100000

Solve for X getting, X = 6

Therefore maximum variable cost it can incur without change in current ROI is $ 6 per unit  

Resulting Contribution Margin per Unit = SP - VC = $10 minus $6 = $4 per unit

<u> part C -</u>   Minimum Transfer Lightning division Should charge

Given Information - Capacity of Lightning division is 150000 units and Utilized capacity is 135000 units. Therefore Spare capacity is 15000 units .Also Market Price of Product of Lightning division is $ 5 and Variable cost is $3 per unit.

So for the First 15000 units of Requirement of Inflatable division - Transfer Price should be Variable cost i.e $ 3 per unit because Lightning division has spare capacity in this.

For the next 25000 units of requirement of Inflatable division - Transfer Price should be Market Price i.e $ 5 per unit as Lightning division has to reduce is external sale.

Therefore Minimum TP = 15000 * 3+25000 * 5 / 40000=\$ 4.25 per Unit

<u>Part D -  </u>No, Here Tiny offers to transfer $4 ( $6 - $2 ) per unit to Lightning division. However  the minimum TP Lightning should get is 4.25 per unit and if less than this TP is offered by Tiny it will lead to loss in the Lightning Division.
