Answer:
C. the market demand curve understates the relative importance of the product and resources are therefore underallocated to its production.
Explanation:
Positive external benefits refer to third party positive side effects, above & beyond private marginal benefit to the concerned consumer.
Eg : Education - Its consumption not only affects the concerned person, but the positive trickle down to the people & society around.
Personal consumption decisions are based on : equalisation - of private marginal benefit (demand) curve & private marginal cost curve. However, goods having positive external benefits have real marginal benefit curve increased over private benefit curve, by the extent of extra marginal social benefit.
So, market demand (based on private marginal benefit) curve understates the importance of product, and resources are therefore underallocated to its production (due to undervaluation of demand).
Answer:
The maximum investment is $6,360.111
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
The placement of a new surface would reduce the annual maintenance cost to $500 per year for the first 3 years and to $1000 per year for the next 7 years. After 10 years the annual maintenance would again be $2500.
We need to find the net present value. The maximum initial investment will be the amount that makes the NPV cero.
NPV=∑[Cf/(1+i)^n]
Cf= cash flow
<u>For example:</u>
Year 1= 500/1.05= 476.19
Year 3= 500/1.05^3= 431.92
Year 5= 1,000/1.05^5= 783.53
NPV= 6,360.111
The maximum investment is $6,360.111
Answer:
The bullwhip effect happens when retailers or other members of the supply chain overestimate a sudden increase in demand, and this causes a chain reaction in all the other participants of the supply chain that start requesting higher quantities of goods or materials for production. E.g. the fidget spinner was a very popular fad and its producers probably didn't anticipate how large the demand would be. Once the product became extremely popular, everyone wanted to sell fidget spinners. This caused an increase in the order quantities of all the supply chain. Once the fad faded out, all this momentum stopped and many stores, distributors, wholesalers, and even factories were left with huge unsold stocks of fidget spinners.
When the supply chain is well coordinated, there is little chance for some retailers or distributors to over react and want more product just in case. If your supply is guaranteed, then it would take some extraordinary increase in demand to make you want to increase your purchase orders. But if your supply chain is not well coordinated, you might fear that you will lose a lot of sales and other competitors will make them. Then you get anxious and start ordering large quantities.
