What happens when a price floor is imposed above the equilibrium price of a good?

1 answer:

3 0

<span>Price floors can have differing effects depending on other government policies. If the government agrees to purchase a specific maximum of unsold products at the price floor, it incentivizes a business to increase supply or at least to stay in the industry despite slow sales. Many governments do this for areas they see as strategically or politically significant, such as agriculture, or to prevent what they consider to be unfairly low prices of its products. If a foreign government sets a price floor for coffee beans, for example, and then agrees to buy the surplus up to a certain amount, it encourages growers to maintain their operations by placing an effective hedge against price fluctuations. If you own a small coffee shop, these price floors mean that you’re more likely to be able to find your imported beans, but you’ll pay more for them</span>

McMurphy Corporation produces a part that is used in the manufacture of one of its products. The costs associated with the produ

larisa [96]

Answer:

Opportunity cost ($481,000) is greater than the total production cost ($356,000). McMurphy corporation should produce the products by itself instead of buying from Conners Company since the production costs are lower than purchase cost

Explanation:

Determine the total cost associated with the production of the units as follows;

T=M+L+V+F

where;

T=total costs

M=direct materials cost

L=direct labor costs

V=variable factory overhead costs

F=fixed factory overhead costs

In our case;

M=$88,000

L=$127,000

V=$59,000

F=$137,000

replacing;

T=(88,000+127,000+59,000+137,000)=$411,000

Total costs=$411,000

Assuming the McMurphy avoids 55,000 fixed factory overhead cost;

Total costs=411,000-55,000=$356,000

The opportunity cost if McMurphy Corporation decides to purchase the units from Conners Company instead of producing them will be;

Opportunity cost=cost per unit×number of units

cost per unit=$37

number of units=13,000 units

Opportunity cost=37×13,000=$481,000

Answer:

Supply chain management is the coordination, management and strategy that drives the flow of data, information, resources and materials to deliver the best product and service to all stakeholders in the process of converting raw goods to a salable product and delivering it to the ultimate customer. There are three main flows of supply chain management: the product flow, the information flow, and the finances flow. The product flow involves the movement of goods from a supplier to a customer.
