Answer:
B. it ignores the firm's demand curve.
Explanation:
A: With the help of average cost pricing, the fixed cost can quickly estimate. Therefore, it cannot be the answer.
C: The average cost must consider the effect of variable cost. Therefore, it is also the wrong statement.
D: It is easy to estimate profit if there is an average cost pricing.
B: average-cost pricing always ignores the demand curve because it is a "U" shaped curve. Because after a certain level of product selling, the average cost is increasing. On the other hand, demand curve is such that if the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases. Therefore, it is a downward slopping curve. Hence, it is understood that, average-cost pricing ignores demand curve.
I think the answer is in the middle
Answer: Macro
Explanation:
This is a macro distinction as the producers of soybean in America are concerned about the crop grown in South America as it will affect the overall price level of soybean in America. When the weather in South America is favorable and the crop produce is large, the supply curve for soybean will shift to the left driving down the overall price level of soybean in America.
Thus, because the concern here is about the overall produce and overall price level it is a macro distinction.
Answer: maximize return on investment
Explanation:
Linear programming is an optimization technique that is used for a system of linear constraints and an objective function that helps in defining the quantity that is to be optimized.
It is used for sure solving complex problems in businesss whereby deciding of the quantities f variables to use in achieving profit maximization or cost minimization is difficult.
Therefore, linear programming approach is usually used by managers involved in portfolio selection to maximize return on investment.
Answer:
C. 157
Explanation:
Safety stock = Z-score * Standard deviation of average demand * √lead time
Z-score for 74 % service level is 0.643
Standard Deviation of demand is 200
Lead Time = 1.5 weeks
Safety stock = 0.643 * 200 * √1.5
Safety stock = 0.643 * 200 * 1.224745
Safety stock = 157.502
