Answer:

The Portugal has higher opportunity cost of producing cloth

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

For England :

Opportunity cost of producing cloth

= (Units of cloth that can be produced) ÷ (Units of wine that can be produced )

= 200 ÷ 400

= 0.5 cloth per wine

For Portugal :

Opportunity cost of producing cloth

= (Units of cloth that can be produced) ÷ (Units of wine that can be produced )

= 200 ÷ 100

= 2 cloth per wine

Hence,

The Portugal has higher opportunity cost of producing cloth

Explanation:

The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) refers to an efficient number of units that a company should order to minimize the total costs of inventory such as holding costs, order costs, and shortage costs.

It is calculated by the formula below,

EOQ = √ (2 * Annual demand * Ordering Cost / Holding Cost)

EOQ = √ (2 * 5,000 * 250 /10)

EOQ = 500 units.

The economic ordering quantity (EOQ) for this item is 500 units.

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:
