Westkost [7]

Answer:

true, it reduces costs by sharing activities

Explanation:

In this case, since the diversified firm has three different businesses that share common marketing and service operations, it is benefiting from a type of economies of scope called shared activities.

Economies of scope basically refers to saving money when producing two or more goods or services by using common production processes in order to reduce costs. The joint production of the goods or services will cost less than if the company produced each one separately.

This company is benefiting from using shared activities because one single marketing unit and another single operations unit will serve the three separate businesses.

mylen [45]

Answer: Option C = 20, 275 pounds

Explanation:

First, the first part of the question is missing and it as follows:

The following are budged data

                                         January             February        March

Sales in Units                    16,600           23,200           19,600

Production in Units         19,600             20,600           19,300

Solution:

The qestion is to deermine Purchases of raw materials for the month of February

The formula is as follows:

Production Units in February x the raw materials required per Unit in Pounds + The Closing inventory - The Opening Inventory of materials

Using the formula we know the following

Productoin Units in February = 20,600

Raw Material required per Unit = 1 pound

Closing Inventory = 25% of March (19,300) = 4,825

Opening Inventory = 25% or February (20,600) = 5,150

Based on the computed figures therefore,

Production Units in February

= 20,600 x 1 pound = 20,600 + 4,825 - 5,150 = 20,275 which is Option C

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Consider a town in which only two residents, Hubert and Kate, own wells that produce water safe for drinking. Hubert and Kate can pump and sell as much water as they want at no cost. For them, total revenue equals profit.

The following table shows the town's demand schedule for water,

Quantity Demanded Total Revenue (Dollars per gallon) (Gallons of water) (Dollars) $247.50 $450.00 $607.50 4.00 180 $720.00 $787.50 3.00 270 $810.00 $787.50 2.00 $720.00 $607.50 $450.00 $247.50 (Look at attached image for clearer image)

Answer:

$3, $810

Explanation:

By carefully examining the table above we can infer that Hubert and Kate's profit is maximised at $3 unit price.

The total output at this point is 270 with a total Revenue of $810, implying that they will share the amount equally 810/2= $405 for Kate and $405 for Hubert.
