Answer:

The best advice for this profit-maximizing firm is:

Use more capital than labor.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Price of labor = $7

Price of capital = $10

Marginal product of labor = 20

Marginal product of capital = 30

Productivity of labor = Output/Input

= 20/7

= 2.86

Productivity of capital = Output/Input

= 30/10

= 3

b) Capital is more productive than labor.  The productivity of capital is 3 when compared to the productivity of labor, that is 2.86.

The WCU maintenance department used 850 brackets during the course of a year. The brackets are purchased from a supplier in Ashe
Finger [1]

Answer:

a. 166 units should be ordererd of brackets

b. They have when they should place a new order with the supplier 10 brackets

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

Annual Demand= 850 brackets

Buying cost=$10

carrying cost=13%×$10=$1.30

ordering cost per order=$21

a. To calculate how many brackets should be ordered when WCU places an order with their supplier we have to calculate the EOQ as follows:

EOQ=√<u>2AO</u>

              C

EOQ=√<u>2×850×21</u>

               1-30

EOQ=166 Units

166 units should be ordererd of brackets

b. To calculate how many brackets do they have when they should place a new order with the supplier we would habe to make the following calculation:

Reorder point=<u>Annual Demand     </u>    ×  lead time

                        working days in year

Reorder point=<u>850  × </u>  3

                         250

=10 brackets

They have when they should place a new order with the supplier 10 brackets
