Answer:

first we must calculate the original value of the goods produced = $240 x 2,600 = $624,000

original cost = $125 x 2,600 = $325,000

original amount of labor used = (72 + 32) x 40 = 4,160 hours

value of goods after change = 3,800 x $240 = $912,000

cost after change = 3,800 x $152 = $577,600

labor used after change = (72 + 32) x 72 = 7,488 hours

a) original multifactor productivity = $624,000 / $325,000 = $1.92 per dollar spent

multifactor productivity after change = $912,000 / $577,600 = $1.58 per dollar spent

multifactor productivity decreased by 17.71%

b) original labor productivity = $624,000 / 4,160 hours = $150 per labor hour

labor productivity after change = $912,000 / 7,488 hours = $121.79 per labor hour

labor productivity decreased by 18.81%

c) change in weekly profits = ($912,000 - $577,600) - ($624,000 - $325,000 = $35,400 increase

Answer: avoid risk response                                        

 

Explanation: Risk avoidance is indeed a risk management technique through which the management team works to resolve the danger or secure the project against its effects.

It usually calls for adjustments to the project management policy, such as adjustments in applicability or layout or even in the action plan. By improved communication or obtaining abilities, risk recognized at such a preliminary stage can be prevented.

Introduced in important uncertainties that have a significant effect on the plan's feasibility. Project managers typically use this as a high-risk first response technique.

Suppose that two Japanese companies, Hitachi and Toshiba, are the sole producers (i.e., duopolists) of a microprocessor chip use
Dima020 [189]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

a) When both Hitachi and Toshiba engage in a limited campaign, they both earn $11 million.

If both engage in an extensive campaign they both earn $8 million.

However, if one firm engages in an extensive campaign and the other firm engages in a limited one, the firm engaging in a limited campaign earns $4 million while the one engaging in an extensive campaign earns $16 million.

I have attached a photo to show the payoff matrix as a table.

b) In the absence of a binding and enforceable agreement, that is to say that if both firms are not colluding, Hitachi's dominant strategy would be to engage in an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN.

A Firm's dominant strategy in absence of an agreement is that strategy that a firm can go on and make a maximum amount of profit regardless of what the other firm does.

Should Hitachi engage in an Extensive Campaign, they will make $16 million in quarterly profit if Toshiba engages in a Limited Campaign. Should Toshiba also decide to engage in an Extensive Campaign, then Hitachi makes a profit of $8 million. This is therefore their best alternative as opposed to embarking on a limited Campaign where there is a chance that they will make $4 million.

With the Extensive Campaign, Hitachi's Minimum Payoff is $8 million.

c) The game is the same for both players so the best option for Hitachi, is the best option for Toshiba as well. This means that Toshiba's dominant Strategy is an EXTENSIVE PROMOTIONAL CAMPAIGN and their minimum payoff is $8 million as well.
