Answer: $66.90 per unit
Explanation:
Cost that would be avoided is:
= Direct materials + Direct cost + Variable manufacturing overhead + part of fixed manufacturing overhead
= 20.80 + 26.50 + 6.90 + (36.10 - 31.40)
= $58.90
If the outside supplier commits to 59,000 units a year, the company should not pay more than:
= (Number of units supplied * Avoidable cost + contribution margin on other product (opportunity cost) ) / Number of units supplied
= (59,000 * 58.90 + 472,000) / 59,000
= $66.90 per unit
Question Options:
A) economic order quantity
B) partial productivity
C) multifactor productivity
D) internal service quality
Answer: MULTIFACTOR PRODUCTIVITY.
Explanation: Multifactor productivity is also known as total factor productivity can be defined as the elements or influences that determines the output in production from the inputs. Like in this question, the company determined the inputs (wood, metal, fabric, labor hours, capital, and the electricity) required to produced an output (chair).
Answer:
trade deficit
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed about Snowland and Pledza are neighboring countries. Pledza imports more products than it exports. Over the last decade, Pledza imports from Snowland have been rapidly increasing but not fast enough to offset the exports to Snowland. In this case we can say about Pledza has a trade deficit. trade deficit also known as "negative balance of trade" can be described as a method to measure international trade. It can be regarded as the amount by which cost spent on the imports in a country exceeds the cost of exports. We can calculate trade deficit by finding the difference in value of exports of country and its imports.
Answer:
The correct answer is have a low value-to-weight ratio.
Explanation:
Products that have low weight-value ratios (for example, coal, iron ore, bauxite and sand) also have low storage costs but high movement costs as a percentage of their sales price. Inventory management costs are calculated as a ration of the value of the product. Low product value means low storage cost, since inventory management costs are the dominant factor in storage cost. When the value of the product is low, transport costs represent a high proportion of the sale price.
Consequently, companies that deal with products of low value for weight frequently try to negotiate more favorable transport rates; rates are generally lower for raw materials than for finished products of the same weight.
Answer: 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
Explanation:
Q=1200 - 4P and Q=-240 + 2P
In a free market quantity demand =quantity supplied
1200 -4P = -240 +2P
P =240
Sub P
Q* = 240
Socially optimal quantity is
Marginal social benefit (MSC)= marginal social cost(MSC), including external damage =MEC
MPC= marginal private cost =inverse of supply function
MPC = (1/2)*Q + 120
MEC=12
MSC =(MPC +MEC) = (1/2)Q +120 +12
MSC= MPB where MPB is marginal private benefit = inverse of demand functn
MPB = 300 -(1/4)Q
(1/2)Q + 132 =300 - (1/4)Q
Q° = 224
Difference btw Q* & Q° = 16 units more than social optimum.
DWL = dead weight loss = (1/2)*(Q* - Q°) 12 =96
