Suppose you found out that the Japanese are on the verge of introducing their own mayonnaise substitute next month. Sam does not

know this and has just turned down your final offer for the insurance. Assume that Sam tells you SCAM is only six months away from perfecting its mayonnaise substitute and that you know what you know about the Japanese. Would you raise or lower your policy premium on any subsequent proposal to​ Sam? Based on his​ information, would Sam​ accept? A. You would raise your policy premium substantially and Sam would not accept because he​ doesn't know about the Japanese. B. You would raise your policy premium substantially and Sam would accept because the higher premium would signal there was a greater chance of a loss. C. You would not offer Sam a policy at any premium because given the new​ information, Sam will almost certainly sustain a loss.

Answer: A. You would raise your policy premium substantially and Sam would not accept because he​ doesn't know about the Japanese.

Explanation:

In such a scenario as the one described above, the best option as an Insurance Agent is indeed to raise premiums substantially.

As the Japanese will most probably get to market first with the new Mayonnaise Substitute, they will have the rights to it's invention and could even patent it.

This means that Sam and SCAM will most likely suffer a loss as a result of this.

As there is such a high chance of loss, charging a substantially higher premium to enable coverage is only logical and makes business sense.

Sam does not know however that the Japanese are so far ahead and having rejected a substantially lower offer, will reject the newer, substantially higher one as well.

mart [117]

The question is incomplete. The complete Question is as follows,

Whistle Works manufacturers safety whistle keychains. They have the following information available to prepare their master budget:

Units to be produced

October 4,500

November 4,750

December 5,200

Whistle Works sells each whistle for $12. It takes 3 ounces of metal to produce each whistle at a cost of $0.50 per ounce. They prefer to have 10% of materials required for the following month's production in ending inventory as well. How many ounces of direct materials does Whistle Works need to purchase in October to meet production needs?

A) 4,500 ounces

B) 13,575 ounces

C) 13,425 ounces

D) 4,525 ounces

Answer:

Purchases = 13575 ounces

Option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

To calculate the purchases of material for October, we first need to calculate the inventory needed to produce the desired number of units in October along with the desired ending inventory and adjust it for the available opening inventory at start of October.

Material available at Start - October = 10% * 4500 units * 3 ounces per unit  Material available at Start - October = 1350 ounces

Material required at end - October = 10% * 4750 units * 3 ounces per unit

Material required at end - October = 1425 ounces

Material required to produce required units in October = 4500 * 3 = 13500

Production  =  Opening Inventory  +  Purchases  -  Closing Inventory

13500  =  1350  +  Purchases  -  1425

13500 + 1425 - 1350  =  Purchases

Purchases = 13575 ounces
