Options:
<em>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</em>
<em>b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall</em>
<em>c. Stay the same</em>
<em>d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.</em>
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.
What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.
Answer:
The correct answer is the option D: strongly correlated with the degree to which the industry's driving forces make it harder or easier for the new entrants to be successful.
Explanation:
To begin with, the entry of new competitors to the industry is regulated upon many factors that tend to make the procedure more or less difficult. Moreover, the entrance of the new companies will generate a change in the industry depend if the barriers are high or low and therefore that in certain industries the driving forces will complicate as much as they can the entrance due to the fact that there are few competitors already in the industry or because there are possession of special supplies and that is strongly correlated to the strength or wearkness of the potential entry of rivals at the industry.
Answer:
Ms. Z should invest in the State A.
Explanation:
Coupons from State A = (1 - 0.33)*0.05*75000
= 2512.5
Coupons from State R = (1 - 0.33 - 0.085)*.054*75000
= 2369.25
Therefore, Ms. Z should invest in the State A .
Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Barrington Bears has developed the following sales forecasts for January 500 units.
BB has 80 bears on hand on Dec. 31. The normal ending inventory policy is to hold 20% of next month’s sales.
Direct labor is paid $18 per hour. Each bear takes 40 minutes to hand-finish. Variable overheads total $21 per direct labor hour. Fixed overheads amount to $25,000 per month.
First, we need to calculate the production for January.
Sales= 500 units
Ending inventory= (600*0.2)= 120 units
Beginning inventory= 80 (-)
Total= 540 units
Conversion costs= direct labor + manufacturing overhead
Direct labor= [(40/60)*540]*$18= $6,480
Variable overhead= 21*360 hours= $7,560
Fixed overhead= $25,000
Total conversion costs= $39,040
