Answer:

1. West Calder should use American since it is the cheapest with a cost of $53,500

2. The range of storage levels would West Calder Fabrication prefer to use Sam Laud is 1,250 to 2,500

Explanation:

1.

Determine the costs of shipping 4,500 units of products for each cargo ship

<em>Step 1: American integrity</em>

Total cost=Annual fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

where;

Annual fixed cost=$40,000

Cost per unit=$3

Number of units=4,500 units

replacing;

Total cost=40,000+(3×4,500)=40,000+13,500=$53,500

American Integrity will cost $53,500

<em>Step 2: Sam Laud</em>

Total cost=Annual fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

where;

Annual fixed cost=$35,000

Cost per unit=$5

Number of units=4,500 units

replacing;

Total cost=35,000+(5×4,500)=35,000+22,500=$57,500

Sam Laud will cost $57,500

<em>Step 3: Bums Harbor</em>

Total cost=Annual fixed cost+(cost per unit×number of units)

where;

Annual fixed cost=$30,000

Cost per unit=$9

Number of units=4,500 units

replacing;

Total cost=30,000+(9×4,500)=30,000+40,500=$70,500

Bums Harbor will cost $70,500

West Calder should use American since it is the cheapest with a cost of $53,500

2.

In order to use Sam Laud, Sam Laud's total cost should be less than or equal to American Integrity's cost.

35,000+5 n=40,000+3 n

40,000-35,000=5 n-3 n

2 n=5,000

n=5,000/2=2,500

n should be less or equal to 2,500

The minimum number of units that should be used in order to use Sam Laud can be determined as follows;

35,000+5 n=30,000+9 n

35,000-30,000=9 n-5 n

4 n=5,000

n=5,000/4=1,250

The range of storage levels would West Calder Fabrication prefer to use Sam Laud is 1,250 to 2,500

What will happen to the firms equilibrium wage rate when the supply of labour decrease from 25 to 15? Explain with the help of d
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Wage rate = $960

Explanation:

Supply of labor is the number of hours workers are willing to work at a given real wage rate. When wage rate increases, supply of labor also increases because more people are encouraged as now they can obtain a higher income. When wage rate decreases, labor supply also decreases.

<em><u>View diagram</u></em>

In this case, however, there has been a decrease in supply, causing the supply curve to shift from S to S1. This can be due to many reasons such as migration, increase in minimum working age or increase in interest in education causing more people to study. When the supply of labor falls, there are less people available for work. Thus, demand exceeds supply, causing a shortage. Hence, the pressure causes price, i.e. wage rate to increase. To determine by how much the increase is, cross-multiplication can be used:

At 25 laborers, wage rate is $600 (25 = 600)

At 15 workers, wage rate is X (15 = X)

We now substitute for X, which is the amount by which wage rate will increase.

25 / 600 = 15 / X

Thus, 25X = 9000 (600 x 15)

9000 / 25 = X

X = 360.

Hence, wage rate at 15 laborers is 600 + 360 = $960

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

If an investment project can be repeated, i.e. its life cycle can be extended by reinvesting, the NPV of the project will change.

When considering two mutually exclusive projects, the NPV method should always be considered before the IRR as a means of evaluating which project should be carried out.
