What are the answer choices?
Answer:
B. The difference between what was actually incurred and overhead applied.
Explanation:
This could be simply as the difference of what was actually incurred and overhead that was been applied or it could be the difference between the amount that would be absorbed into the cost/unit of the actual units of a certain commodity been produced, and the actual cost of the fixed overheads.
This could be seen in a certain number of labor hours taken to manufacture a an amount of product, as it may differ significantly from the standard or budgeted number of hours of the work been done.
Option D. The size of the market
This is because they have an idea that with a larger market size the can gain economies of scale and make a larger profit.
Answer:
Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.
Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.
The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.
Ex : Production Possibilities
Wine Sweater Trade off (Wine :Sweater)
France 10 5 1:0.5 or 2:1
Tunisia 8 24 1:3 or 0.33:1
- France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
- Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine < 2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia
Answer:
$0.40 ; $1 and $71.43%
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Excess cost is
= Unit cost - Salvage Value
= $1 - $0.60
= $0.40
The shortage cost is
= Selling value - unit cost
= $2 - $1
= $1
And, the optimal service level is
= Shortage cost ÷ (Shortage cost + excess cost)
= $1 ÷ $1.60
= 71.43%
Basically we applied the above formulas
