True
Answer:
A) The firm can ratify Haskin's actions and take over the contract.
Explanation:
Hanskin's was not explicitely allowed to buy the property in Arizona, but he did it with the intention of increasing the amount of assets that the real estate company holds.
The board of directors should simply take over the contract as long as it is profitable (it most likely is), and analyze whether to change its policies about property purchasing or not, because requiring a board resolution for each one of them can make the process slow and increase opportunity costs.
Answer:
A) total cost = (200 labor hours x $20) + (500 units of raw materials x $8) + $4,000 cost of capital = $12,000
average total cost per unit = $12,000 / 2,000 units = $6 per unit
B) new total cost = (100 labor hours x $20) + (500 units of raw materials x $8) + $4,000 cost of capital = $2,000 + $4,000 + $4,000 = $10,000
average total cost per unit = $10,000 / 3,000 units = $3.33 per unit
C) When process innovation occurs, total productivity and efficiency increase, decreasing the average cost per unit. In this case the total cos decrease, but even if total costs do not decrease, higher efficiency and productivity can be achieved by production more units at the same total costs. Process innovations, usually related to new technologies, are responsible for the greatest increases in productivity and efficiency which result in higher economic output and growth.
