Advantages and disadvantages of price optimization system

Business
1 answer:
ladessa [460]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The price system and I assume you mean the free price system, is very important in an economy. There are advantages and disadvantages to it.

In a free price system, the forces of supply and demand determine prices. The most efficient use of resources is when supply matches demand. Supply and demand are equal when the market determines the price at which a number of goods supplied equals a number of goods demanded. The price system also allows us to buy many products. Manufacturers are willing to make products when they can make money. When supply equals demand, businesses are maximizing the profit potential at the given price level.

One disadvantage of the price system is that for certain products, the costs of setting up the industry are so high, there is only one seller of the product. In cases like these, such as with the electric and the natural gas companies, or with the water companies, without government regulation, prices could be very expensive since they are the only provider of the product. In these cases, the government needs to regulate these industries because the price system would lead to very high prices for water, electricity, and natural gas. Since the setup costs for these industries are so high, there is no competition for these companies. This could cause consumers to make some very difficult choices if the prices are regulated by the government.

The Silver Corporation uses a predetermined overhead rate to apply manufacturing overhead to jobs. The predetermined overhead ra
mixer [17]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

In Dept. A,

Direct labor cost = $60,000

Manufacturing overhead = $90,000

Direct labor-hours = 6,000

Machine-hours = 2,000

In Dept. B,

Direct labor cost = $40,000

Manufacturing overhead = $45,000

Direct labor-hours = 9,000

Machine-hours = 15,000

Predetermined overhead rates in Dept. A = \frac{Manufacturing\ Overhead}{Direct\ labor\ cost} \times 100

                                                                       = \frac{90,000}{60,000} \times 100

                                                                       = 150%

In dept. B = \frac{Manufacturing\ Overhead}{Machine\ Hour}

                = \frac{45,000}{15,000}

                = $3

An investment project provides cash inflows of $1,275 per year for eight years. a. What is the project payback period if the ini
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is 3.22 years, option (b) is 4.04 years and for option (c) is 0 years.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Cash inflow = $1,275

Project payback period = Initial cost ÷ Cash inflow

(a). Initial cost = $4,100

So, Project payback period = $4,100 ÷ $1,275

= 3.22 years

(b) Initial cost = $5,150

So, Project payback period = $5,150 ÷ $1,275

= 4.04 years

(c). Initial cost = $11,200

So, Project payback period = $11,200 ÷ $1,275

= 8.78 years

As it is more than the eight years period, it never pays back.

So, 0 years
