A decline in interest rates is expected to put the economy in recession. This is because with less interest comes less money earned and less spending as a result.
Answer:
The optimal production plan gives a total costs of $417,672 for the periods Feb to May
In Feb we will have to hire 26 workers to close the gap between demand and production from our 100 existing workers
In March however, we will have to lay them off (26 workers) to keep our production in line with demand.
In April, we are constrained to 100 workers, thus requiring that we run overtime. The overtime requirement is between 3,060 hours to max of 5,000 hours. Note that inspire of the hours chosen, demand for April still won't be fulfilled.
The best option will be the one that gives us last backlog because of the costs of backorder being extremely costly.
5,000 overtime hours in April is the best option .
In May, we are constrained to our 100 workers, meaning we will fulfill our back orders and also retain inventory in hand of 7,760 units.
The 3 pages attached show how the cost is worked out and the presentation as well.
Answer:
(a) 2
(b) 2.25
(c) 12.5%
Explanation:
To solve this question we need to remember that

(a) 10 persons produce 160 valves in 8 hours, this implies a productivity of 2=160/(8x10)
(b) 2.25= 180/(8x10)
(c) Percentage change is given by (2.25-2)/2=.125
Answer:
$750
Explanation:
The formula for determination of beginning inventory is given below:
Cost of goods sold=opening inventory+purchases-closing inventory
Cost of goods sold=$2,000
Purchases=$2,250
closing inventory=$1,000
Opening inventory=Cost of goods sold+closing inventory-purchases
=2,000+1,000-2,250
=$750

b. bait pricing
Explanation:
Bait pricing strategy is one that is aimed at attracting customers by presenting a price that is lower than the actual value of a product. Usually the product is limited in quantity and when buyers come in they are convinced to buy something else.
This is considered an illegal means of marketing.
I'm the given instance when the customer got to the dealership the salesperson can't find that particular car on the lot, saying maybe it was sold this morning before he got in. The salesperson offers a higher-priced car.
This is bait pricing strategy.
