Answer: Your competitor in fine furniture.

Explanation:

If as stated in the question, my competitor is able to produce more fine furniture than me, from the same amount of resources, that means that my competitor has a comparative advantage over me in furniture making. Comparative advantage is the process whereby a business can be more productive than their competitors, with the same amount of resources.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

i) Z = 20( 80 ) + 50(20 ) =  $2600

ii) $3000

Explanation:

representing products  A and B as x₁ and x₂

using the given data

Max ( z ) = 20x₁ + 50x₂  ( optimal product mix for optimal profit )  ---- ( 1 )

0.8 ( x₁ + x₂ )  ≥ 0

0.8x₁  + 0.8x₂ ≥ 0 ------------ ( 2 )

also  x₁ ≤ 100 --- ( 3 )    considering the amount to be sold ( sales volume )

based on the availability of raw material

2x₁ + 4x₂ ≤ 240 ----- ( 4 )

resolve equations 2, 3, and 4 graphically

x₁ = 80 units , x₂ = 20 units

back to equation 1

Z = 20( 80 ) + 50(20 )

   = 1600 + 1000  = $2600

ii) To increase the number of units of A produced

given that x₁ ≤ 100   and the actual optimal units produced = 80 units

2600 + 20(100-80)

= 2600 + 20(20)  = 2600 + 400 = $3000

adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Reduces private-sector economic risk.

Explanation:

Economic risk refers to the uncertainty produced in the return on investment due to changes in the economic situation of the sector in which the company operates. Thus, by way of example, this risk may come from: the management policy of the company, the policy of distribution of products or services, the appearance of new competitors, the alteration in the tastes of consumers, and so on.

Economic risk is a direct consequence of investment decisions. So the structure of the company's assets is responsible for the level and variability of operating benefits.
