Answer:

production of different types will compete for limited resources.

Explanation:

The production possibilities curve (PPC) is also known as the production possibilities frontier (PPF) and its a curve which illustrates the maximum (best) combinations of two products that can be produce in an economy if they both depend on these factors;

1. Technology is fixed.

2. Resources are fixed.

Hence, the production possibilities curve represents maximum combinations of products available with fixed resources and technology.

Additionally, the production possibilities curve influences the choice of production used by companies and as such it helps to make the best decision regarding the optimum product mix for a company.

Basically, the production possibilities model illustrates an inverse relationship between two goods or services (an increase in the production of one good or service results in a decrease in the production of another and vice-versa) because production of different types will compete for limited resources.

This ultimately implies that the manufacturing or production of one item (product) is likely to rise or increase provided the production of the other item (product) falls or decreases.

Answer:

d. $672.41 per service call

Explanation:

The computation of the activity rate for servicing goods is shown below:

= (Total servicing good cost) ÷ (Total service calls)

= $195,000 ÷ 290

= $672.41 per service call

The total service call would be

= JIT distributors + Non-JIT distributors

= 200 + 90

= 290
