Scarcity occurs when the demand for something exceeds the supply. Examples often occur with natural resources when they are over used. Think of over fishing, hunting or poor farming. The choice to over hunt in present may cost hunting opportunities in the future.
Answer:
3.8 times
Explanation:
Inventory turnover indicates how many times a company sells and replaces its stock of goods during a particular period. The formula for inventory turnover ratio is the cost of goods sold divided by the average inventory for the same period.
$ 320,000 / 63,000 = 5.1 times in 2022
$283,500 / 32,000 = 8.9 times in 2023
Therefore inventory turnover increase as a result of the switch to the JIT system by 8.9 times - 5.1 times = 3.8 times
The answer is C. sole proprietorships.
Answer:
a. Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. Whataburger should hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost
Explanation:
a. According to the given data we have the following:
Let "C" is a cashier.
"K" is a kiosk
MPC = 48 (Marginal Product of Cashier)
MPK = 32 (Marginal Product of Kiosk)
PC = $15 (cashier can be hired for a wage of $15)
PK = $12 (Kiosk rents for $12)
At optimal cost minimization point, (MPC / MPK) = (PC / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (MPK / PK)
(MPC / PC) = (48 / 15) = 3.2
(MPK / PK) = (32 / 12) = 2.67
Since the (MPC / PC) and (MPK / PK) is not equal. It implies Whataburger is not using the optimal cost-minimizaing mix of cashier and kiosks.
b. We have to use the following:
(MPC / PC) > (MPK / PK)
i.e., 3.2 > 2.67
It means Whataburger hire more cashier and rent fewer kiosks in order to improve its mix of inputs and minimize the cost.
Answer:
•Jayaram is a Limited partner
•Jeevan is an active partner
Explanation:
•A limited partner also known as a silent partner is a partner who does not partake in the day to day running of the business. He only provides capital to the running of the business hence his liability is limited to the amount invested in the business.
Asides providing capital and not being active in the management of the business activity, he can be of help by providing business contact that would bring progress to the business and also give business advice where and when necessary.
• An active partner is a partner who provides capital and also oversees the daily activities of the business. He is a very important partner because of his involvement in the business affairs hence has more liability unlike the limited partner. An active partner's action can make or mar the business because of the influence he has over the business.
