o-na [289]

Answer:

Cost Advantage of different locations:

b. $20,000

Phoenix certainly had a cost advantage over Atlanta and based on this factor, it should be chosen for the new plant instead of any other city.

Explanation:

a) Total Costs of different locations:

Atlanta Phoenix

Fixed Cost $80,000 $140,000

Variable cost 400,000 320,000

Total Costs $480,000 $460,000

b) Variable costs

Atlanta Phoenix

Annual Demand 20,000 20,000

Variable cost/unit $20 $16

Total variable cost $400,000 $320,000

c) Cost Advantage is the competitive edge which location (or company) can have over another through reduced production or marketing costs or both so that it can offer cheaper prices or use excess profits to bolster promotion or distribution. In this case, the comparison is on the total cost, which is made of variable and fixed costs.

A Condominium owner files a declaration with the county clerk which divides his individual ownership and ownership in common ele

Degger [83]

Answer:

subdivision

Explanation:

A real property subdivision takes place when a real property (parcel of land, house, etc.) is divided into smaller areas. The whole idea behind a subdivision is that it should be easier to sell the property in smaller parts.

When a subdivision is carried out on a condominium, the physical space is not divided, rather the property time is divided into time share units. In this case, a person can purchase the right to use that condominium during 3 weeks each year.

A landowner in Texas is offered $200,000 for the exploration rights to oil on her land, along with a 25% royalty on the future p

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

b. She should develop herself as the EMV of developing is $1.125 million, which is higher than the EMV of selling.

Explanation:

The probability of discovered oil = 0.25 (25%)

Selling the exploration right= Selling Price + Probability of discovered oil × Royalty% × Future Profit

= $200,000 + 0.25 × 0.25 × $7,500,000 = $668,750

Developing = Probability of finding the oil × Future Profits - Cost of Well

= 0.25 × $7,500,000 - $750,000 = $1,125,000

= $1.125 million

Therefore the EMV for selling the exploration rights is less than the developing, the landowner will develop the site by his own.

Consider luxury weekend hotel packages in Las Vegas. When the price is $250, the quantity demanded is 2,000packages per week. Wh

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

The elasticity is about 1.43, and an increase in the price will cause hotels' total revenue to decrease

Explanation:

The formula of the midpoint for the variation of the quantity is $\frac{Q2-Q1}{(Q2+Q1)/2} *100$ and for the price is $\frac{P2-P1}{(P2+P1)/2} *100$ . With the variation of the price and the quantity the elasticity formula is ΔQ/ΔP. Replacing the elasticity is -1.43

The price elasticity of the demand is bigger than 1, that means that the demand is elastic, every increase of the price will cause a bigger decrease of the quantity, the revenue will drop because the increase of the price do not compansete the decrease of the quantity.
