Answer:

4000 bags

Explanation:

Annual demand (D) = 36,000 bags

Set up cost(S) = $200

Holding cost (H) = $3.6

Production rate (p) = 200 bags per day

Demand rate (d) = D/number of days per year = 36000/240 = 150 bags per day

1) Optimum production quantity(Q) = √{2DS / H [1-(d/p)]}

= √{(2 x 36000 x 200) /3.6[1-(150/200)]}

= √{14400000/3.6(1-0.75)

= √ [14400000/(3.6 x 0.25)]

= √(14400000/0.09)

= √16000000

= 4000 bags

sveta [45]

Answer:D.$6480 Incremental cost

Explanation:

The cost of producing 100,00 units of wigdets are direct material plus direct labour and the overhead cost that will be eliminated if the widget is no longer produce by Swiftly which amounts to $17280.

This amount will be added because it's the amount of overhead directly attributable to the production of wigdets.

Additions of these cost leave the cost of manufacturing at $82,080.

Comparing this with the proposed sales price of $88560 means Swiftly will incur additional cost of $6480

All of the following statements are true about marginal cost except I. marginal cost increases as production expands. II. when m
rewona [7]

Answer:

III. when marginal cost is above average cost, average cost is constant.

Explanation:

Marginal Cost (MC) is the addition to total cost , when an additional variable factor is employed. MC = TCn - TCn-1

Average Total Cost AC is the Total (Fixed &Variable Cost) per unit variable factor employed. AC = TC / Q

MC AC relationship : <u>MC > AC - AC rise</u> ; MC < AC - AC fall ; MC = AC - AC minimum. '3rd' is opposite to the 1st underlined MC AC relationship.

2nd & 4th are other right components of MC AC relationship.  MC < AC - AC fall ; MC = AC - AC minimum (MC cuts AC at its minimum)

1st is also correct as when more variable factors are employed - total cost first increases at a decreasing rate (MC falls) & then it increases at an increasing rate (MC rises).  MC curve cuts AC curve at its minimum (MC = AC - AC minimum)

MrRa [10]

Answer:

A put option

Explanation:

  • An option is a finantial instrument that allows you to chose wether you buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) an specific good or intrument in a specific time in the future, at a specific price.
  • When talking about an option, you<u> can choose</u>  if you are going to exercise your right to buy (if it is a call option) or sell (if it is a put option).
  • This is a difference between a future and an option: a future is a compromise to buy or sell an specific commodity or finantial instrument, while the option makes it optional (to buy or sell).
  • A stock exchange is a simple exchange of stocks, but without a compromise to do it at a specific time in the future or prices. There is no option or obligation to buy or sell in a common stock change  case.
  • In this case, we are talking about a put option (an option to sell), and the finantial instrument that is linked to the option are shares of stocks.
  • Then,  in a specified time in the future you will be able to sell shares of stock using a put option.
