1           100           50               150       150           100         50         150

2          100           70               170         20            50         35          85

3          100           90               190        20           33.33      30        63.33

5          100         200               300       60            20          40          60

6          100         360              460      160           16.67       60        76.67

The firm's profit in this case is <u>-$360</u>.

True or False: This was a wise decision. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Depends on the situation and which costs are avoidable if the company shuts down operations. If it produces 4 cases, the losses reduce from -$100 to -$40, but the contribution margin is positive since revenues exceed variable costs by $60. But under the current price level, the company will not be able to generate profits unless it increases its sales price or decreases its fixed costs.

Vaguely remembering his introductory economics course, the company's chief financial officer tells the CEO it is better to produce 1 case of ball bearings, because marginal revenue equals marginal cost at that quantity.

At this level of production, the firm's profit is <u>-$100</u>.

True or False: This is the best decision the firm can make. ⇒ <u>False</u>

Accounting profit is maximized at 4 cases since marginal cost ($50) = sales price ($50). At this point the total profit is -$40.

Suppose an economy is modeled with a production possibilities frontier or curve (PPF) for butter (vertical axis) vs. guns (horiz
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: B - a general improvement in technology affecting production of all goods

Explanation: The Production Possibility Frontier is a curve that shows the two combination of goods an economy can produce when all its factors of production are efficiently used.

Technological progress shifts the curve outward, away from the origin as more output would be produced using the same combination of factor inputs.

Shifting of resources from butter to gun would lead to movements along the curve as more gun would be produced and less butter.

Pacifism becoming less popular which increases gun production, would cause movement along the curve.

Increase in consumer desire for butter increase the amount of butter produced . This would generate a movement along the curve

The purpose of safety stock is​ to: A. eliminate the possibility of a stockout. B. control the likelihood of a stockout due to v
NeX [460]
<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks what the purpose of a safety stock is.

<h3>Answer: B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand​ and/or lead time.</h3>

The reason why answer choice "B). control the likelihood of a stock out due to variable demand​ and/or lead time" is the correct answer because companies have safety stocks to control the chances of having a stock out.

Safety stocks are also known as a "reserve" for a company, in other words, stocks that a company doesn't touch. It's to ensure that companies don't go through a time where there's an increase in demand while there is a "delay" in production.

If a companies stock demand goes up, but then they can't "produce" the amount that is needed to meet the demand, then they will go through "stock out" and have to go through what is called "stock out costs."

Safety stocks are also known as a "rainy-day" stock, due to the fact that safety stocks are used when a company are not having a great day with the "demand" / "value" of their stocks. It's just to "ensure" / "keep the company safe" from a huge stock out.
