Answer:

Making bread

Explanation:

Lyta has to specialize in making bread. By specialization, it means that lyta should focus it's productive efforts on making bread, because from the question she clearly has an absolute advantage in making bread Since the question says she is more efficient in making bread compared to the other product. It means she can produce bread in larger quantities at same cost or she can produce same quantity of bread at lower cost.

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A​ second-hand
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of  new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40  = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605  = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

Suppose the production of cotton causes substantial environmental damage because the pesticides used by cotton farmers often mak
Kipish [7]

Answer: C. inefficiently low; inefficiently high

Explanation:

If the cotton farmers are not made to pay for the damage that their pesticides cost then they will maintain production at a relatively high level because their input costs will be relatively low. As a result of this high level of production, the price of the goods will be relatively low as well. The point at which both market equilibrium quantity and price are at in this scenario are considered inefficient because they are not taking into account, the true cost of production being the effects of the pesticides being used.

However, if they are made to pay for this negative externality that they are the cause of, it will increase their production cost and force them to reduce production to keep these costs low. As they reduce production, the market price will increase as supply is less.
