IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

US specialisation in TV can be stated on the basis of Absolute Advantage, not comparative advantage.

Explanation:

Absolute Advantage is when a country can produce more output per input of a commodity, than other country.

Comparative Advantage is when a country can produce a good at lower opportunity cost (in terms of other sacrifised)

China can produce more (ie 5 units television) per hour employed, compared to US able to produce lesser (3 units) in the same time. So, on the basis of Absolute Advantage, it can be stated that US should specialise in TV production.

However, since other good's details have not been given. So, we cannot attain the relative opportunity costs. Hence, specialisation on the basis of comparative advantage can't be stated.

maxonik [38]

Answer:

the optimal order size Q  is 18.56 cars

the annual inventory cost = $12066.48

the order cycle time is 42.34 days

Explanation:

Using the following expression to determine the optimal order size Q:

Q = \sqrt{\frac{2* ordering \ cost \ * Demand}{Annual \ carrying \ cost }}

Q = \sqrt{\frac{2* 700 * 160}{650 }}

Q =\sqrt{344.6153846}

Q = 18.56

Hence; the optimal order size Q  is 18.56 cars

The annual inventory cost is mathematically expressed as:

\frac{ordering \ cost * Demand}{optimal \ order \ size} + \frac{annual \ carrying \ cost}{2}

= \frac{700*160}{18.56} +\frac{650*18.56}{2}

= 6034.482759 + 6032

= $12066.48276

≅ $12066.48

Hence, the annual inventory cost = $12066.48

For The order cycle time; we have;

Order cycle time = \frac{365 \ days }{1} \div ( \frac{ Demand }{optimal \ order \ time })

= \frac{365 }{1} \div (\frac{160 }{18.56})

= \frac{365 }{1} \div (8.62)

= \frac{365 }{1} \times \frac{1}{ 8.62}

= 42.34 days

Hence, the order cycle time is 42.34 days

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The price control that could generate excess supply is to increase the price to 75 cents which would give the suppliers an incentive to supply since the potential profits have risen.

Explanation:

Market equilibrium can be defined as the point where market supply and market demand are equal,leading to stabilization of prices. The forces of supply and demand usually control the price at which goods and services will be set. Economists like Adam Smith utilized the concept of the free market to stipulate that the forces of supply and demand in a market will no government interference always push the market to it's equilibrium. Equilibrium generally means that the forces in the market have no incentive of changing their behavior.

Supply can be defined as the act of making something available to someone. In the context of an economy, the suppliers make goods and services available to the consumers. Demand on the other hand is the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing purchase at a certain price. When demand exceeds the supply, the suppliers increase the price and when the supply exceeds the demand, the price drops.

In our case, increasing the price to 75 cents would give the suppliers an incentive to supply since the potential profits have risen. This would lead to excess supply since the price is set above the equilibrium price.

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Total allocated costs= $63,221.7

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the allocation rates based on the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Salaries= 30,000/2,700= $11.11 per number of employees

Depreciation= 20,500​/204,000= $0.10 per cost of goods sold dollar

Advertising= 41,500/804,000= $0.052 per net sales dollar

<u>Now, we can allocate costs to Grinding:</u>

<u></u>

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Salaries= 11.11*1,620= 17,998.2

Depreciation= 0.10*204,000= 20,400

Advertising= 0.052*477,375= 24,823.5

Total allocated costs= $63,221.7
