Production plan that will yield the least cost of $49,630 is shown in the attached document.
It entails maxing out the regular capacity from period 1 to 5, and using regular to produce only 140 units in period 6
It further entails using overtime to produce 10 units from period 1 to 5. And subcontracting only in period 4 to cover the demand/production gap.
This will keep inventory of 10 units in period 2, which is carried into period 3 and consumed in period 4.
The government can control tariffs and can limit how much can be imported into the usa.
The government can provide subsidies to certain producers, typically farmers.
The government can put a ceiling and a floor on prices as they wish. They can control the lowest and highest price a commodity can sell for.
The government can own public works such as a water company if they feel they can provide the service for a lower cost than the local competitors.
The government can decide which companies are monopolies and which companies are violating federal policies regarding trade. The government has the power to break up monopolies.
Each of these has advantages and disadvantages. For example, for farmers, when prices on their crops are too low, the government "gives" them money for their crops so they can stay in business.
A monopoly business controls the price and supply. If the monopoly is broken up, then competitors can enter the field- this can help drive down prices.
If the government can provide utility services for cheaper, that is good.
Options:
<em>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</em>
<em>b. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to fall</em>
<em>c. Stay the same</em>
<em>d. The supply curve does not shift. Only the demand curve shifts.</em>
<u>Answer:</u>
<u>a. Shift to the left, causing the prices of carrots to rise</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Indeed, going by the law of supply and holding all other factors constant, we would expect the supply curve to shift to the left, which implies that there would be an increase in the price of carrots.
What this means is that because there are now fewer carrots in the market as a result of the effects of the bad weather, there would be scarcity and so sellers would increase prices.
Answer:
Cost of merchandise sold = $ 28
Gross profit = $ 13
The ending inventory under the LIFO method = $ 18
Explanation:
Given:
October 5,
Purchased units = 1
Unit cost = $5
on October 12,
Purchased units = 1
Unit cost = $ 13
On October 28,
Purchased unit = 1
Unit cost = $ 15
Total cost of the 3 units purchased = $33
Now, the unit sold on October 31 will be the unit purchased in the end i.e on October 28
thus,
Cost of merchandise sold = $ 28
Gross profit = Selling price of the unit - Unit price of purchase
or
Gross profit = $ 28 - $ 15 = $ 13
now, the ending inventory under the LIFO method = $ 5 + $ 13 = $ 18
