Answer:

Freecia has a comparative advantage in producing memory chips

Explanation:

Comparative advantage occurs when a company has an advantage over the other through the production of certain goods at a cheaper rate.

Looking at the given example , let us assume that the cost of producing a bushel of rice is $10 and memory chips is $10

Warmia produces two bushels of rice at $70 and a memory chip at $70(ratio 2:1) 1/3*70= 23.3

Freecia produces five bushels of rice at $70 and two memory chips at $7

(Ratio 5:2). 2/7*70=14

We can see that the cost of producing memory chips is cheaper fo Freecia

hammer [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Trade credit allows businesses to receive goods or services in exchange for a promise to pay the supplier within a set amount of time. New businesses often have trouble securing financing from traditional lenders; buying inventory, for example, on trade credit helps increase their purchasing power.

Q        Fixed       Variable    Total    Marginal    Aver.     Aver.     Aver.

<u>           Costs        Costs         Cost    Cost           FC         VC         TC      </u>

0          100             0              100         -               -             -             -

1           100           50               150       150           100         50         150

2          100           70               170         20            50         35          85

3          100           90               190        20           33.33      30        63.33

4          100          140               240       50            25          35          60

5          100         200               300       60            20          40          60

6          100         360              460      160           16.67       60        76.67

The firm's profit in this case is <u>-$360</u>.

True or False: This was a wise decision. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Depends on the situation and which costs are avoidable if the company shuts down operations. If it produces 4 cases, the losses reduce from -$100 to -$40, but the contribution margin is positive since revenues exceed variable costs by $60. But under the current price level, the company will not be able to generate profits unless it increases its sales price or decreases its fixed costs.

Vaguely remembering his introductory economics course, the company's chief financial officer tells the CEO it is better to produce 1 case of ball bearings, because marginal revenue equals marginal cost at that quantity.

At this level of production, the firm's profit is <u>-$100</u>.

True or False: This is the best decision the firm can make. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Accounting profit is maximized at 4 cases since marginal cost ($50) = sales price ($50). At this point the total profit is -$40.
