Answer: c. Success is guaranteed as the firm implements its chosen international business-level strategy.

Explanation:

Firms that have a hold on national competitive advantage have to consider that which favours the market they operate in within where they are based in carrying out their decision or policies considering their business. It would be unprofitable when the firm chooses it's policies for success based an international business level strategy as this may seems to fail. Strategies that should be considered are those that focuses on what impact it would play in the market of the nation.

Answer:

C) success is guaranteed as the firm implements its chosen international business-level strategy.

Explanation:

In business, nothing guarantees success. Not even huge companies launching great products can guarantee that they will be successful, e.g. Microsoft launched a tablet (Surface) many years before Apple launched the iPad. Apple was successful, but Microsoft wasn't, and not because they lack the resources or a competitive position. China has a competitive advantage in manufacturing due to its cheap and abundant labor, and relatively easy access to productive technologies, but not every manufacturing firm in China is a success.

National competitive advantages make things "easier" but don't guarantee anything, managers must understand that if they or the employees do not work hard, do things correctly and make the right decisions, the risk of failure is always there.

A manager hires labor and rents capital equipment in a very competitive market. Currently the wage rate is $12 per hour and capi
Alex777 [14]

The firm should decrease the amount of capital used.

Solution:

The wage rate is $12 per hour and capital is rented at $8 per hour.

The marginal product of labour is 45 units of output per hour and the marginal product of capital is 65 units of output per hour.

A manager hires labour and rents capital equipment in a very competitive

market.

The ratio of marginal product of labour and wage rate

= \frac{45}{12}

= 3.75

The ratio of marginal product of capital and rent

= \frac{65}{8}

= 8.125

If the cost ratio is higher, it means that the boss must minimize the volume of money involved in the manufacturing process.

Dozier Company produced and sold 1,000 units during its first month of operations. It reported the following costs and expenses
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Required 1

<u>Part a</u>

<em>Total Product cost = Variable manufacturing costs + Fixed manufacturing costs</em>

where,

Variable manufacturing costs = ($84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000) ÷ 1,000 units = $147.50

Fixed manufacturing costs = $32,500 ÷ 1,000 units = $32.50

therefore,

Total Product cost = $147.50 + $32.50 = $180.00

<u>Part b</u>

<em>Total period cost = variable non- manufacturing costs + fixed non-manufacturing costs</em>

where,

variable non- manufacturing costs = $15,000 + $5,500 = $20,500

fixed non-manufacturing costs = $24,000 + $28,000 = $52,000

therefore,

Total period cost = $20,500 + $52,000 = $72,500

Required 2

<u>Part a</u>

<em>total direct manufacturing cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Direct (Variable) Manufacturing Overheads</em>

therefore,

total direct manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 = $147,500

<u>Part b</u>

<em>total indirect manufacturing cost = fixed manufacturing costs</em>

therefore

total indirect manufacturing cost = $32,500

Required 3

<u>Part a</u>

<em>total manufacturing cost = variable manufacturing cost + fixed manufacturing costs</em>

therefore,

total manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 + $32,500 = $180,000

<u>Part b</u>

<em>total non-manufacturing cost = variable non-manufacturing cost + fixed non-manufacturing cost</em>

therefore,

total non-manufacturing cost = $20,500 + $52,000 = $72,500

<u>Part c</u>

<em>total conversion cost = direct labor cost + manufacturing overheads</em>

therefore,

total conversion cost = $42,500 + $21,000 + $32,500 = $96,000

<em>prime cost = direct material + direct labor</em>

therefore,

prime cost = $84,000 + $42,500 = $126,500

Required 4

<u>Part a</u>

<em>total variable manufacturing cost = direct materials + direct labor + variable manufacturing costs</em>

therefore,

total variable manufacturing cost = $84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000 = $147,500

<u>Part b</u>

<em>total fixed cost = fixed manufacturing costs + fixed non-manufacturing costs</em>

therefore,

total fixed cost = $32,500 + $52,000 = $84,500

<u>Part c</u>

<em>variable cost per unit produced and sold = variable manufacturing cost + variable non-manufacturing</em>

therefore,

variable cost per unit produced and sold = $147.50 + ($20,500 ÷ 1,000) = $168.00

Required 5

<em>incremental manufacturing costs =  variable manufacturing costs</em>

therefore,

incremental manufacturing cost = ($84,000 + $42,500 + $21,000) ÷ 1,000 units = $147.50
