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).

Bailey, Inc., is considering buying a new gang punch that would allow them to produce circuit boards more efficiently. The punch
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

initial investment $100,000

useful life 15 years

cash flow per year = -$2,000 + $12,000 = $10,000

discount rate 5%

discounted cash flow:

1                $10,000/1.05 = $9,524

2               $10,000/1.05² = $9,070

3               $10,000/1.05³ = $8,638

4               $10,000/1.05⁴ = $8,227

5               $10,000/1.05⁵ = $7,835

6               $10,000/1.05⁶ = $7,462

7               $10,000/1.05⁷ = $7,101

8               $10,000/1.05⁸ = $6,768

9               $10,000/1.05⁹ = $6,446

10              $10,000/1.05¹⁰ = $6,139

11               $10,000/1.05¹¹ = $5,847

12              $10,000/1.05¹² = $5,568

13              $10,000/1.05¹³ = $5,303

14              $10,000/1.05¹⁴ = $5,051

15              $10,000/1.05¹⁵ = $4,810

A) discounted pay back period = 14.2 years

B) if the decision rule is a discounted payback period of 3 years, then the project should be rejected

C) the decision rule should be the NPV, which is actually positive since the DPBP is less than 15 years. Only companies that fear premature obsolescence should base their decision on the pay back period. Since this is an electronics company, it is sound to use the pay back period as a decision parameter besides the NPV.

According to liquidity preference theory, money supply and money demand are balanced by adjustments of
givi [52]

Answer:

Nominal Interest rate

Explanation:

According to liquidity preference theory, money supply and money demand are balanced by adjustments of Nominal Interest rate. Suppose you have some money, you will decide to either keep it in cash or in the bank. If you keep the money in cash, the opportunity cost of keeping in cash is the interest rate earned if you would have kept the money in the bank. Bank offers the nominal interest rates and not the real interest rates. Bank rates are not adjusted for inflation. So if the interest rate on money increases the opportunity cost of holding money in cash increases. If money supply in the economy increases the demand for money will increase only by reducing the interest rate because then only people fir hold cash and demand higher money.  So, money supply and money demand are balanced by adjustments of the Nominal Interest rate.

3b. The reason for the differences in the amount of the income from operations in (1) and (2) for August is also the cost of goods sold based on full manufacturing costs for (1) while only variable costs are considered for (2).

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of hats produced = 80,000

Number of hats sold = 72,000

Ending inventory = 8,000

1 Sales $4,320,000.00

2 Manufacturing costs:             July                    August

3 Direct materials                  $1,600,000.00    $1,280,000.00

Total manufacturing costs   $3,600,000.00  $2,944,000.00

Under absorption costing:

Unit cost = $45 ($3,600,000/80,000)             $36.80 ($2,944,000/80,000)

Cost of goods sold = $3,240,000 ($45*72,000) $2,649,600 (36.8*72,000)

Ending Inventory =         360,000 ($45*8,000)         294,400 ($36.8*8,000)

Total variable costs =             $3,424,000.00    $2,768,000.00

Unit variable cost = $42.80 ($3,424,000/80,000)     $34.60

Cost of goods sold = $3,081,600 ($42.80 * 72,000)  $2,491,200

Ending Inventory =         342,400 ($42.80 * 8,000)         276,800
