Answer:
a. What is the MRP per driver per day?
- the marginal revenue product per driver = 60 packages x $20 = $1,200 per day
b. Now suppose that a union forces the company to place a supervisor in each vehicle at a cost of $300 per supervisor per day. The presence of the supervisor causes the number of packages delivered per vehicle per day to rise to 60 packages per day What is the MRP per supervisor per day? By how much per vehicle per day do firm profits fall after supervisors are introduced?
- if the drivers were already delivering 60 packages per day without the supervisor, then the addition of the supervisor doesn't change anything. So the MRP of the supervisor is $0. That means that the company's profits will decrease by $300 per day due to the supervisors.
c. How many packages per day would each vehicle have to deliver in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?
- $300 / 20 = 15 packages per day
- in order to maintain the profit per vehicle, each team of delivery man + supervisor should be able to deliver 75 packages per day.
d. Suppose that the number of packages delivered per day cannot be increased but that the price per deliver might potentially be raised. What price would the firm have to charge for each delivery in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?
- $300 / 60 = $5
- the price of each package delivered should increase by $5 to $25 per package.
Answer: A. It has a competitive advantage in the industry
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the average cost of production for a bottle of water in the industry is 0.20 cents while its average price is 0.50 cents and that Water Inc. manufactures the same product for 0.10 cents while its average price is 0.40 cents.
The scenario shows that Water Inc has a competitive advantage in the industry. This is seen as the bottle of water is produced at a cheaper cost wen compared to its rivals.
Answer:
Decrease; Less
Explanation:
The producer surplus is the difference between the minimum price that a producer is willing to accept for a product and the price he actually receives.
When the market price of a product falls, the producer surplus will decrease as well.
The lower market price implies that there will be less area between the supply curve and the market price of the product.
Price of the items = $24000
Discounts =30%, 25%, 15%.
Sale amount after discount,
100 - 30 = 70% = 0.7
100 - 25 = 75% = 0.75
100 - 15 = 85% = 0.85
Multiplying we get the discount = 0.7 x0.75 x 0.85 = 0.44625
So the net price = 0.44625 x 24000 = $10,710
Answer:
200 units
Explanation:
For computing the number of units produced each time we need to applied the economic order quantity formula which is shown below:
where,
Annual demand is 1,600 units
Ordering cost per order is $25
And, the carrying cost or holding cost per unit per year is $2
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the economic order quantity is
= 200 units
