Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": affordable food creates an external benefit rather than an external cost in the case.
Explanation:
Externalities are costs third parties have to be responsible for even if they were not involved in causing the externality. There are positive externalities and negative externalities. <em>Positive externalities</em> are those that third parties benefit from. <em>Negative externalities</em> affect third parties.
Thus, importing less-expensive but chemically-dangerous food will create a positive externality to consumers purchasing those types of foods since less money is getting out of their pockets without them having to influence discounts.
Answer:
Break-even point in dollars= $36,364
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A firm is selling two products, chairs and bar stools, each at $50 per unit. Chairs have a variable cost of $25, and bar stools $20. The fixed cost for the firm is $20,000.
To calculate the break-even point in dollars for the firm, we need to use the following formula:
Break-even point (dollars)= Total fixed costs / [(weighted average selling price - weighted average variable expense)/ weighted average selling price]
weighted average selling price= (selling price* weighted sales participation)= $50
weighted average variable cost= (variable cost* weighted sales participation)
weighted average variable cost= (25*0.5 + 20*0.50)= $22.5
Break-even point in dollars= 20,000/ [(50 - 22.5)/ 50]= $36,364
Answer:
departmentalization
Explanation:
Departmentalization is defined as the process of grouping various activities according to departments.
Each department tends to specialise in the assigned activity. This method promotes division of labour where a group of people specialise in one activity.
In the given scenario James is restructuring operations around three product lines to increase speed and effectiveness of decision making.
This is departmentalization with a view of increasing process efficiency
The mean of salary for these options is $30.76
Answer:
The correct answer is: feasible and efficient.
Explanation:
The production possibility curve or frontier shows the different bundles or combinations of two goods that be produced using the given resources and state of technology.
All the points on the production possibilities curve represent the combinations that are feasible and efficient.
The points below the curve show the points that are feasible but inefficient.
The points above the curve show the points that cannot be attained using the given level or resources and technology.
