Answer: (B) on the downward-sloping portion of its long-run average total cost curve.

Explanation:

The downward-sloping portion of a company's Long Run Average Total Cost(LRATC) curve is the part where increasing returns to scale is witnessed.

This is because the costs that are incurred by the company leads to higher proportional output thereby reducing the average cost and pulling the LRATC down.

In this scenario, the inputs doubled and the firm's level of production more than doubled which means that with outputs increasing more than costs, the Average cost is reducing and the slope is downward sloping.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Economic integration agreement is when countries within a particular geographical area decide to remove or relax tariff or non-tariff barriers to trade between themselves and also to coordinate and harmonize their fiscal and economic policies. Free trade area is the simplest form of an economic integration; it is when governments of member countries agree to remove trade restriction between each other and when member countries are given the freedom to determine their own external trade policies towards non-members.  

Supporters of free trade area argue that it is beneficial to the country based on the trade creation argument. Trade creation is where high-cost domestic production is replaced by more efficiently produced imports from within the group; that is, more expensive domestic products are replaced by lower priced imports from countries within the group. The trade creation argument is hinged on the fact that a free trade area ensures that trade is generated over and above what would otherwise have happened if there was no integration. Further, the removal of tariffs allows members to specialize in those products for which they have a comparative advantage leading to a variety of cheap imports for domestic consumers, thereby increasing living standards or welfare gains. Trade creation also creates an incentive for high cost domestic producers to cut cost so as to remain competitive thereby enhancing efficiency.

On the other hand, a free trade area is criticized on the basis of trade diversion. This is where trade with a low-cost country outside the group is influenced by higher–cost products supplied from within the group; this results in a less efficient allocation of resources as trade from outside the group is replaced by trade from within the group. Trade diversion could mean that local consumers would have to buy products at less competitive prices. Another argument would be that a free trade area would lead to a removal of tariff between member countries thereby resulting in a cessation of government revenue from tariffs. As opposed to a free trade area,  free trade would increase world output and employment, raise quality and lower prices of goods as firms have access to factor inputs; it will also increase world living standards or enhances welfare gains.  A free trade agreement only restricts these potential advantages to a particular geographical space.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

A. $74,100 $954,700

B. $880,600

Explanation:

A. Preparation to estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT

Current situation After JIT

Sales 1,430,000 1,810,000

Less costs

Production level support 214,500 72,400

(15%*1,430,000=214,500)

(4%*1,810,000=72,400)

Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 181,000

(28%*1,430,000=400,400)

(10%*1,810,000=181,000)

Direct material 429,000 362,000

(30%*1,430,000=429,000)

(20%*1,810,000=362,000)

Direct manufacturing labor 286,000 235,300

(20%*1,430,000=286,000)

(13%*1,810,000=235,300)

Inventory financing costs 26,000 4,600

(10%*260,000=26,000)

(10%*46,000=4,600)

Total costs 1,355,900 855,300

Operating profits $74,100 $954,700

(1,430,000-1,355,900)

(1,810,000-855,300)

Therefore the the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT will be $74,100 $954,700

B. Preparation for the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation

Current situation After JIT Change

Sales 1,430,000-1,810,000=-380,000

Less costs

Production level support 214,500-72,400 =142,100

Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 -181,000=219,400

Direct material 429,000-362,000=67,000

Direct manufacturing labor 286,000- 235,300= 50,700

Inventory financing costs 26,000-4,600 =21,400

Total costs 1,355,900-855,300=500,600

Operating profits 74,100-954,700=880,600

Therefore the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation will be 880,600
