Answer:
The Bullwhip Effect
Explanation:
Bullwhip effect is a phenomenon that occurs in an organisation's channel of distribution due to swings or erratic demands for products by customers. This erratic nature of demands will usually lead to forecasting inefficiencies especially in meeting the demands through the supply chain.
A sudden increase in demand could lead to production planning problems because there might not be enough inventory of materials on ground to meet the demand. Also, a sudden decrease in demand can bring the challenge of excess inventory of materials which may not be needed for production for a while.
One of the measures taken to manage this erratic nature of demands is to ensure that whatever the forecasts for demands is, safety stock must be included to the forecast level of demand so as to ensure that production planning is adequate and the demands are met as well.
Answer:
The correct answer is (C)
Explanation:
Negative externalities occur when an individual or firm making a choice negatively affect other parties. A driver who recklessly drives a car on a busy highway is a negative externality because the amusement of the driver is negatively affecting other people. A negative externality arises when the benefit of a decision is less than the negative outcomes of that decision.

Answer:
The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 10,500 to 10,501 units is closest to $11.40
Explanation:
It is important to note that the question requires The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 10,500 to 10,501 units
From Production of 10500 units to 10501 units, there is an increment of 1 unit.
<u>Lets find the incremental cost of 1 unit.</u>
1.To do this we only consider variable manufacturing costs only.
2.Since increase is within the relevant range, the fixed manufacturing overheads do not change.
3.Also Ignore all non- manufacturing overhead as they do not form part of manufacturing costs.
Extra 1 Unit
Direct materials $6.70
Direct labor $3.50
Variable manufacturing overhead $1.20
Total Cost $11.40
$396,200 + 61,250 + 27,600+ 9,000+ = 479,000 dollars
