This type of company believes that if they can make the best 'mousetrap,' their customers will come to them.Production Orientation is the general approach of any business that is primarily concerned with manufacturing and production processes. In a product oriented approach, business focuses and develops products based on what it is good at making or doing, rather than what the customer wants.

Explain why to maximize profits a firm needs to produce an output at a level where marginal revenue

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Rest of question:

... equals marginal cost.

Firms will maximize profits at the point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost because producing after this point means that no profits will be made.

As long as the Marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost, there will be profits made because the company is making more than it is spending so they should keep producing. When it gets to a point in production where the marginal revenue equals marginal cost, the company should not produce further than that.

This is because, as earlier mentioned, any further production would result in the marginal cost being larger than the marginal revenue which means that a loss will be made. The company should therefore stop at the point where MR = MC so as not to let MC get larger than MR so that no losses will be made.

. A poor credit score can result in:

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

- All of the above

Explanation:

This is the best answer for this question because a poor credit score can result in difficulty finding a job, renting an apartment, and obtaining credit in the future. I didn't see anything about higher interest charges, but one can logically conclude that that would also be affected

Hope this helps(:

The campground will make the most economic profit whenit has property rights to a clean lake . True or False: The fish cannery w

babymother [125]

Answer:

hi your question is incomplete here is the complete question

Consider a lake found in the town of Center Barnstead,

The town has a campground whose visitors use the lake for recreation. The town also has a fish cannery that dumps industrial waste into the lake. This pollutes the lake and makes it a less desirable vacation destination. That is, the fish cannery's waste decreases the campground's economic profit.

Suppose that the fish cannery could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the campground would no longer be affected. If the fish cannery uses the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $1,500 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,800 per week. If the fish cannery does not use the recycling method, then the fish cannery's economic profit is $2,000 per week, and the campground's economic profit is $1,000 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table.

Action

Profit

Fish Cannery

Campground

Total

(Dollars)

No Recycling 2,000 1,000

Recycling 1,500 1,800

Total economic profit is highest when the recycling production method is .

When the fish cannery uses the recycling method, the campground earns $1,800−$1,000=$800$1,800−$1,000=$800 more per week than it does with no recycling. Therefore, the campground should be willing to pay up to $800 per week for the fish cannery to recycle water. However, the recycling method decreases the fish cannery's economic profit by $2,000−$1,500=$500$2,000−$1,500=$500 per week. Therefore, the fish cannery should be willing to use the recycling method if it is compensated with at least $500 per week.

Suppose the campground has the property rights to the lake. That is, the campground has the right to a clean (unpolluted) lake. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will the recycling method and will pay the campground per week.

Now, suppose the fish cannery has the property rights to the lake, including the right to pollute it. In this case, assuming the two firms can bargain at no cost, the fish cannery will the recycling method, and the campground will pay the fish cannery per week.

ANSWER

True
True

Explanation:

The campground will make the most economic profit when it has property rights to a clean lake : True. this is true because the Fish cannery will be using the recycling method and from the table it is seen that when the recycling method is used The Campground make the most economic profit

The fish cannery will use the recycling method regardless of who has the property right : TRUE . this is because the Fish cannery will use the recycling method anyways because the recycling method would not pollute the water hence not interfering with the campground activities in case they own the property rights.

CrayFry offers a discount on an extended warranty on its CrayFrier when the warranty is purchased at the time the fryer is purch

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The answer is: C)$3,000

Explanation:

The standalone selling price is the price at which the company would sell warranty separately to its customer. In this case we need to find the stand alone price of the discount option.

We first find the difference between regular price and the discount option:

$25 - $20 = $5

Then we multiply by the possibility of the discount sale happening (60%) and the total number of goods sold with the discount option.

= $5 x 60% x 1,000 fryers

= $3,000

Explain the difference between fixed and variable costs and give two examples of each. Can a company budget for variable costs?

galben [10]

Answer:

Fixed cost in an organization does not change and is fixed while the variable cost keep changing if the production is increased.

Explanation:

Fixed cost are said to be that cost which does not change with production level for a certain limit. Let us suppose there is no change in the rent amount if we have only factory for the production of goods.

But the variable cost are those cost which increases as production increases. More will be the variable cost when the production will be more. Also for per unit basis, the variable cost remains the same.

Fixed cost are not important in decision making if there is an excess of capacity available.

For example,

Direct labor, direct material -- variable cost

Salary of supervisor, rent of factory -- fixed cost

Even though there is not much change in the variable cost, like for suppose material price increases, a company can still make a budget that is based on the past experience and predicting the market prices. Similarly, if there is a machine that uses three units of direct material for a piece if finished product, which is not going to change in the future. Thus the company can make a budget.
