Answer:

The both firms lose and the consumers gain

Explanation:

This scenario paints the picture of a Price war.

A price war is a competition strategy known by repeatedly cutting prices below those of competitors.

As a competitor lowers its price, then others will lower their prices to match.

Eventually, price wars are beneficial to the buyers who are consumers, who can take advantage of lower prices.

Price cutting is not good for any of the competing companies involved because the lower prices reduce profit margins and can threaten their survival.

If this practice of price reduction continues the monopoly profits are erased, and the smaller, more marginal or less efficient firms cannot compete and must close.

Alabama and Mississippi each have 9 units of labor. They can use their units of labor for the production of chickens and cotton.
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer and Explanation:

As it is given that

1. For each unit of labor, Alabama will generate 3 units of chicken.

Thus Alabama can produce a maximum of 27 units of chicken with 9 units of labor.

2. With every unit of labor, Alabama will generate 7 units of cotton.

Thus Alabama can produce a maximum of 63 units of cotton with 9 units of labor.

For each unit of labor,  Mississippi will generate 4 units of chicken.

Therefore Mississippi can produce a maximum of 36 units of chicken with 9 units of labor.

For each unit of labor, Mississippi will produce 6 units of cotton.

While Mississippi can produce up to 54 units of cotton with 9 units of labor.

Alabama could be seen producing more cotton than Mississippi using all the labor while using all the labor Mississippi can produce more chicken than Alabama.

Hence,

For producing chicken, Mississippi has the absolute advantage

For producing cotton,  Alabama has the absolute advantage

Now

Albama's opportunity cost for generating a chicken unit is

= (7 ÷ 3)

= 2.33 units of cotton.

Albama's opportunity cost for generating a cotton unit is

= (3 ÷ 7)

= 0.43 units of chicken.

Mississippi's opportunity cost for generating a chicken unit is

= (6 ÷ 4)

= 1.50 units of cotton.

Mississippi's opportunity cost of generating a cotton unit is

=  (4 ÷ 6)

=  0.67 units of chicken

Therefore

Alabama can produce cotton relatively to Mississippi at a  lower cost of opportunity.

In comparison with Alabama, Mississippi can produce chicken at lower opportunity costs.

Hence, we can conclude that

Mississippi has a competitive advantage for chicken production.

Alabama has a competitive advantage in cotton production.

Mississippi is supposed to grow chicken and Alabama is supposed to make cotton.

Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3      

Explanation:

Data given and notation      

\bar X=5000 represent the sample mean      

s=800 represent the standard deviation for the sample      

n=16 sample size      

\mu_o =5600 represent the value that we want to test    

\alpha represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.    

t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)      

p_v represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)  

State the null and alternative hypotheses.      

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to determine if the mean is lower than 5600, the system of hypothesis would be:      

Null hypothesis:\mu \geq 5600      

Alternative hypothesis:\mu < 5600      

We don't know the population deviation, so for this case is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:      

t=\frac{\bar X-\mu_o}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}} (1)      

t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".  

Calculate the statistic      

We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:      

t=\frac{5000-5600}{\frac{800}{\sqrt{16}}}=-3

Radovilsky Manufacturing Company, in Hayward, California, makes flashing lights for toys. The company operates its production fa
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Given,

Annual demand, D = 12500,

Setting up cost, S = $ 49,

Production rate per year, P =  production facility × capability of production = 300 × 105 = 31500,

Holding cost per year, H = $ 0.15,

Hence,

(i) Optimal size of the production run,

Q = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H(1-\frac{D}{P})}}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 12500\times 49}{0.15(1-\frac{12500}{31500})}}=3679.60238126\approx 3680

(ii) Average holding cost per year,

=\frac{QH}{2}(1-\frac{D}{P})

=\frac{3680\times 0.15}{2}(1-\frac{12500}{31500})

=166.476190476

\approx \$ 166.48

(iii) Average setup cost per year,

=\frac{D}{Q}\times S

=\frac{12500}{3680}\times 49

=166.44021739

\approx \$ 166.44

(iv) Total cost per year = average setup cost per year + average holding cost per year + cost to purchase 12500 lights

= 166.44 + 166.48 + 12500(0.95)

= $ 12207.92
