The answer is: b. Markets motivate individual actors to make economic decisions.

In a capitalist economy, the government has very little influence to intervene in the economy. The market is solely controlled by the power of supply and demand.

If amazon had decided to design and manufacture the kindle and all its components in the united states, what do you think the co
Scrat [10]

Answer:

Brief summary of the case:

The case deals about the evolution of kindle by Company A. When the company decided to introduce kindle, its price was $399 in 2007. Company A understood that to be successful against the huge competitors, kindle must be priced low. It must be highly reliable, many features and elegance must be provided in the design of kindle. "Company A- designed kindle in State C where the research and development expertise is available.

Market research firm "IS," estimated that the manufacturing cost of kindle is about $185. The expensive components of the kindle are the display used in the Electronic ink technology and wireless cord. Company A contracted with Country C's company to produce the display. A manufacturer in Continent A produced a wireless cord of $13. Many components were contracted to the different countries to reduce the cost of the kindle to be competitive. Now, kindle became the competitor to the massive companies.

Determine if the company has decided to manufacture all the components of Electronic reader K in Country U:

If Company had decided to manufacture all the components in Country U, then it would have been more expensive. Company A cannot sell that at an affordable price. Increase in the cost of the components would increase the overall cost of the Electronic reader K. The most important strategy of Company A is to minimize the cost of the product to increase the number of sales.

Increase in the manufacturing cost will dilute their competitive advantage and it increases the cost of the product. It will lower the sales and the buyers would prefer to use the competitors' products, which are cheaper.

Determine if the company has decided to manufacture all the components of Tablet F in Country U:

It would be expensive if they decide to manufacture the components in Country U. It will not affect the sales number like Electronic reader K. as Tablet F is multipurpose. People will prefer quality and specifications than price.

Conclusion:

Manufacturing in Country U would be expensive and it increases the overall cost of the product. It would affect sales of the products.

The term economies of scale refers to the fact that as the:
frutty [35]

Answer:

quantity of product produced in a given period increases, the cost of manufacturing each unit decreases

Explanation:

Economies of scale happens when the average total cost (variable + fixed production costs per unit) decreases as total output increases. This generally takes place because fixed costs are the same for a small number of units produced or a large number of units produced, so the average fixed cost per unit tend to decrease as more units are produced (at least up to certain point). Variable production costs per unit can also decrease as total output increases since materials might be purchased in larger quantities resulting in higher discounts or labor productivity increases.
