Answer:

Annual demand (U) = 90.000 bags

Cost of each bag = $1.50

Inventory carrying cost per unit(C) = $1.50 × 20% = 0 30

Ordering cost per unit (O) = $15

Part A)

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2UO}{C}}

EOQ = \sqrt{\frac{2 * 90000 * 15}{0.30}}

EOQ = \sqrt{9000000}

EOQ = 3,000

Part B)

Maximum inventory = EOQ + Safety inventory on hand  

Maximum inventory = 3000 + 1000

Maximum inventory = 4.000

Part C)

Average inventory = Maximum inventory + Minimum or Safety /2

Average inventory = 4,000 + 1,000 / 2

Average inventory =2,500

Part D)

How often company order = Annual demand / EOQ

How often company order = 90,000 / 3.000

How often company order = 30

What was the opportunity cost for lebron james when he determined to directly enter the nba?
frozen [14]

LeBron James is one of the best basketball players in the country, was selected by the Cleveland Cavaliers as the first pick in the 2003 NBA draft, signing a three-year contract worth almost $13 million, with an option for a fourth year at $5.8 million. Had he decided to attend college instead, James would have incurred an opportunity cost of at least $19 million in forgone income to earn a four-year college degree.

Opportunity cost is the value you would gain or lose if you choose a different path or solution. The opportunity cost in this scenario is deciding to play in the NBA since college was too expensive. LeBron James ultimately saved time and money by taking the detour because he received a contract worth close to $13 million; otherwise, he would have had to pay more and spend more time attending a four-year college.

LeBron's decision to join the NBA right after high school graduation has an opportunity cost because he might have attended a four-year university or college instead. He was chosen by the Cleveland Cavaliers as the first overall choice in the 2003 NBA Draft

Suppose that Dillon derives 40 utils of total utility from eating 5 hotdogs and 42 utils of total utility from eating 6 hotdogs.
gavmur [86]

Answer: The marginal utility is 2

Explanation:

Utility is the satisfaction derived from the consumption of a particular commodity. Total utility is the total satisfaction derived from the consumption of a particular commodity. Marginal utility is the extra satisfaction that a consumer gets from consuming a product. Utility is measured in utils.

Marginal utility increases with an extra consumption of a good at first but later it begins to reduce as the extra good consumed doesn't really have give the consumer enough satisfaction anymore.

Regarding the question, eating 5 hotdogs gives 40 utils and eating 6 hotdogs gives 42 utils.

The marginal utility is the extra utils which will be 42-40 which gives 2 utils.

Within a PPF framework, explain each of the following: (a) a disagreement between a person who favors more domes-tic welfare spe
arsen [322]

Answer:

A. Movement on the PPC

B. Rightwards / Outwards shift of PPC

C. Less Concavity of PPC

Explanation:

Production Possibility Curve is combination of two goods that an economy can produce, given resources & technology (efficient utilisation).

  • It is a downward sloping curve as more of one good can be produced by sacrifising other good, same resources & technology.
  • It is concave curve because of increasing marginal opportunity cost, i.e increasing amounts of a good to be sacrifised to gain additional amount of other good, as resources are not equally efficient in production of both goods.
  • Points on PPC reflect full utilisation, points under PPC reflect under utilisation, points above PPC are unattainable.

a) A disagreement between persons favouring more domestic welfare spending or national welfare spending : Is just an issue of reallocation of same resources, technology. So, PPC doesn't change & there can only be movement on the PPC (more of one good, less of other good)

b) An increase in population : leads to increase in human resource & hence the PPC shifts outwards / rightwards as the production potential of economy rise with more human resource.

c) Technological change that make resources less specialised : would reduce resources' efficiency gap in production of two goods. So, Marginal Opportunity cost reduces & hence the PPC becomes less concave.
