A manager in your organization just received a special order at a price that is "below cost." The manager points to the document

and says, "These are the kinds of orders that will get you in trouble. Every sale must bear its share of the full costs of running the business. If we sell below our full cost, we'll be out of business in no time." What do you think of this remark?

Answer:

So, from a short-run perspective, so long as the sale does not affect other output prices or normal sales volume, a "below cost" sale may result in a net increase in income so long as the revenues cover the differential costs.

However, in the long run all costs must be covered or management would not reinvest in the same type of assets.

If the company must continually sell below the full cost of production then it will most likely get out of that particular business when it comes time to replace those facilities.

Suppose gold​ (G) and silver​ (S) are substitutes for each other because both serve as hedges against inflation. Suppose also th
maksim [4K]

Answer:

a) Gold = $1,380; Silver = $1,020

b) Gold = $1,300; Silver = $980

Explanation:

a) At first, with Qg = 60 and Qs = 270, the equilibrium prices for gold and silver are found by solving the following linear system:

P_g = 930-60 +0.50 P_s\\P_s = 600 - 270 + 0.50P_g\\\\-P_s=1740 -2P_g\\P_s = 330+ 0.50P_g\\P_g = 1,380\\P_s = 1,020

Equilibrium price of gold is $1,380 and the price of silver is $1,020.

b) If the supply of gold increases to 120, since the goods are substitutes, there will be an increase in overall supply and the equilibrium price of gold and silver will decrease as follows:

P_g = 930-120 +0.50 P_s\\P_s = 600 - 270 + 0.50P_g\\\\-P_s=1620 -2P_g\\P_s = 330+ 0.50P_g\\P_g = 1,300\\P_s = 980

Equilibrium price of gold is $1,300 and the price of silver is $980.

Art [367]

Answer:

B. 16.53%

Explanation:

The effective interest rate is the real interest rate charged by a bank or any other type of lender on a loan.

the formula to calculate effective interest rate = r = (1 + i/n)ⁿ - 1

  • i =15.3%
  • n = 365 days

r = [1 + (15.3%/365)³⁶⁵] -1 = 1.00419178³⁶⁵ - 1 = 1.165287621 - 1 = 0.165287621 ≈ 16.53%

sergejj [24]

Answer:

B) opportunity costs.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the fortified benefits when a choice is made. It is the sacrificed option from a  variety of possible choices. The value of opportunity cost is expressed as the cost of the next best alternative.

According to the economist, Joe made a loss because his opportunity cost would have yielded a better return. In evaluating the viability of a project, economists always consider the returns from the next best alternative. Joe would have made a profit if the returns from the sales of gold were higher than the 3 percent from a certificate of deposit.  Because Joe opted for the gold, he missed the chance to earn from the certificate of deposit. In economics, he made a loss.
