In order to achieve a competitive advantage, Coastal Haven Hotels, a chain of luxury beach resorts, wants to increase its market
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is b. Take advantage of economies of scale and scope by opening a chain of lower priced economy hotels that leverage the Coastal Haven brand image.

Explanation:

The economy of scale refers to the power that a company has when it reaches an optimum level of production to produce more at a lower cost, that is, as production in a company grows, its costs per unit produced are reduced. The more it produces, the less it costs to produce each unit.

In other words, it means that if in a production function the quantity of all inputs used is increased by one percentage, the output produced can increase by that same percentage or increase by greater or lesser amount than the same percentage. If it increases by the same percentage, we would be faced with constant economies of scale, if it were in more, they would be growing economies of scale, if it were in less, in decreasing economies of scale.

In microeconomics, economy of scale is understood as the advantages in terms of costs that a company obtains thanks to the expansion and good synergies that it has applied to its competitive environment .

The concept of "economies of scale" serves for the long term, and refers to reductions in unit cost as the size of an installation and the levels of input utilization increase. The usual sources of economies of scale are the inventory (large-scale purchase of materials through long-term contracts), management and logistics (increasing the specialization of managers), financial (obtaining lower interest costs in bank financing), marketing and technology (benefiting of the scale yields in the production function).

                                                     2021            2022          2023

Bills during the year               2,180,000   2,644,000  5,176,000

Cost incurred in the year       2,016,000   2,808,000  2,613,600

Cumulative cost to date         2,016,000   4,824,000   7,437,000

Estimated cost to complete   5,184,000    2,376,000         0

Estimated total cost                7,200,000    7,200,000     7,437,000

percentage completion

2,016,000/7,200,000*100 =28%

4,824,000/7,200,000*100 = 67%

7,437,000/7,437,000 *100=100%

Percentage Completion                 28                 67              100

Contract price                           10,000,000

                          2023  10,000,000*1005  = 10,000,000

Contract value                           2,800,000     6,700,000    10,000,000

A corporation has the following account balances: Common Stock, $1 par value, $80,000; Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value, $
Nitella [24]

Answer:

b. number of shares issued is 80,000

Explanation:

In the question, the common stock par value and the total amount is given. Moreover, paid-in capital is also given.

So, if we compute it, then it gives the number of shares issued because it contains a formula which is shown below:

Number of shares issued = (Common stock ÷ Par value)

= ($80,000 ÷ $1)

= 80,000 shares

So, paid-in capital is not relevant in the computation part, and therefore, the other options are wrong except b. option.
