Answer:
It will incur an Opportunity cost of $8,000.
Explanation:
It will incur the opportunity cost of $8000 because the additional unit produces by the company then the additional revenue that is generated will be equal to the amount (25 - 20) x 12,000 = 60,000. Since the additional cost, that incurs for the production of 12000 units is 52000. Therefore the profit earned is $8000.
So if the company does not produce it then it will lose the profit of $8000.

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
The following would be the specifications of the training module for the cashiers:
1. There would be multiple modules consisting of the job responsibilities as refresher courses and at the same time, the new market conditions and additional job related things that they must be doing in the near future would be the other modules.
2. The key areas that the multi module training program would be focussing on would be, customer relationship training, system and data maintenance training, documentation and accounting module
3. The training intervention would be preferably on job and alongside there would be a mentor/coach allotted to the cashiers who are experts in the field preferably store managers and functional experts. For the system related modules, they would be having simulation based modules. Only during the non rush-hours there would be offline training and update sessions with respect to the progress made on their training and the productivity improvement they have achieved over the past week.
The incentives associated with the productivity improvement would be translated into incentivising the cashiers to take up the training modules. The weekly update on the productivity improvement and the progress in their training would inturn make them competitive in nature. While coming to why such distribution has been done with respect to the modules, essentially if we look at the job of the cashiers, it’s a round the clock job and they would lose out on precious working hours if the training is done on an offline basis.
The simulations would definitely help understand the process but the on job training would be the one that is standing out, as they would be continuing their task and at the same time, the result is right in front on them to experience and therefore the distribution of the modules to not stress them out and at the same time not losing out on their time as well.
Answer:
For Dan, the demand is price inelastic
Explanation:
One of the factors tat affect the quantity demand for a product is the price of the product. According to the law of demand, at lower price more quantity of a product would be purchased than at a higer price, all other this being being equal.
Price elasticity of Demand (PED)
The extent to which a change in price will cause a change in the quantity demand for a product is called the price elasticity of demand. It measures the degree of responsiveness of quantity demand to a change in price.
It is calculated as
PED =% change in quantity demand / % change in price.
For Dan Newspaper , the price elasticity of demand
= 4%/8%
= 0.5
If the PED is greater than 1, the demand is price elastic
If the PED is less than 1 , demand is price inelastic
For Dan, the demand is price inelastic
