Answer:

Jarett Motors

The $4,000 of annual operating costs are an example of an

a. opportunity cost

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                        Old machine    New machine

Original cost                                        $9,000              $20,000

Accumulated depreciation                    5,000              0

Annual cash operating costs                9,000                  4,000

Current salvage value of old machine 2,000

Salvage value in 10 years                         500                  1,000

Remaining life                                        10 yrs                  10 yrs

b) The annual operating costs are an example of opportunity cost because the alternative with the old machine will incur an annual operating cost of $9,000 instead of $4,000 with the new machine.  This will translate to a forgone benefit of $5,000 ($9,000 - $4,000) in cost saving if the new machine is purchased.

You are starting a family pizza parlor and need to buy a motorcycle for delivery orders. You have two models in mind. Model A co
harina [27]

The equivalent annual costs of each model are as follows:

                                                Model A       Model B

Equivalent annual costs     $2,389.26   $3,008.47

Data and Calculations:

                                              Model A       Model B

Costs of motorcycle              $8,200        $13,600

Expected years of usage      7 years        9 years

Annual maintenance costs    $760          $740

Cost of capital = 9%

Annuity factor                       5.03295        5.99524

PV of annual maintenance  $3,825.04   $4,436.48

Total NPV of costs             $12,025.04  $18,036.48

Equivalent annual costs   $2,389.26  $3,008.47

                          ($12,025.04/5.03295)  ($18,036.48/5.99524)

Thus, the equivalent annual costs of each model are the dividend of the Total NPV costs divided by the Annuity Factor.

When some firms enter a perfectly competitive industry in which firms are earning an economic profit, the short-run industry sup
inn [45]

Answer: Supply curve -  Increases rightwards  

               Market Price - Falls  

               Economic Profit - Decreases

Explanation: Perfect Competition market structure is with large number of buyers & sellers , homogeneous products & uniform prices , perfect information and free entry and exit.

'Free Entry and Exit' implies - no firm earns super normal (economic) profits or abnormal losses in long run.                                                                        When firms are earning economic profits in short run, new firms enter (because of free entry) & the industry supply increase reducing price , which further reduces the super normal profits to normal profits in long run. Similarly - Abnormal losses make firms exit (freely), reduce supply & increase price , hence reducing abnormal losses & resuming normal profits.

Clare, a florist, opened a new store and wanted to purchase a new refrigeration display cabinet for fresh-flower arrangements. S
stira [4]

The question is incomplete:

Clare, a florist, opened a new store and wanted to purchase a new refrigeration display cabinet for fresh-flower arrangements. She entered into a deal with Alpha Refrigeration Systems for two refrigeration units at $600 each. But, after delivering the units, the salesperson demanded another $100 as delivery charges, which was not mentioned in the deal. Identify the win-lose strategy used by the salesperson.

-Good guy-bad guy routine

-Browbeating

-Red herring

-Trial balloon

-Lowballing

Answer:

-Red herring

Explanation:

-Goog buy-bad guy routine is a strategy in which one person appears to be on your side and when you get to an agreement, this person goes to the bad guy for approval who will renegotiate.

-Browbeating is a strategy in which the buyer tries to affect the saleperson atittude by saying unflattering things.

-Red herring is a strategy in which one of the parties tries to distract the other one from certain isues to get an advantage.

-Trial balloon is an strategy in which one of the parties says something to the other one to get information about its position in the negotiation.

-Lowballing is an strategy in which the buyer makes a really low offer to test the seller.

According to the definitions, the answer is that the win-lose strategy used by the salesperson is red herring because Clara didn't consider the information related to the delivery when purchasing the units as she was probably distracted by other aspects and didn't consider this.
