c. Process and capacity design

d. Location strategy

e. Layout strategy

f. Human resources and job design

g. Supply chain management

h. Inventory management

Answer:

Lego

The two types of operations management decisions that were addressed by Lego's decision to end production in the US are:

d. Location strategy

g. Supply chain management

Explanation:

Lego decided to close its production facilities in the U.S.A because of the shifting customer demand.  There has been a growing demand for electronics by children as against plastic toys.  This is why it was able to contract out its production activities to a Singapore-based manufacturer with factories in Mexico and eastern Europe.  So the company is strategically moving its production to countries that have high demand for its products and, at the same time, enjoying some tax benefits.

Viefleur [7K]
To solve: add up all in the labor costs and then divide by the number of units produced to get the per unit cost of the labor.

Direct labor = $5,600
Factory overhead = $2,400
Units produced = 1,000

Per unit cost = ($4,400 + $5,600 + $2,400)/1,000
Per unit cost = $12,400/1,000
Per unit cost = $12.40</span>

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

C) abandon the production of jam to fully specialize in the production of peanut butter and then trade with Company Q for jam.

Explanation:

According to different theories about trade specialization, a company or even a country should specialize in producing only those products that they can make better than their competition, i.e. have a comparative or absolute advantage in their production.  

In this case, since Company R has a comparative advantage in the production of peanut butter, it should specialize in producing only that. In case they need jam, they should trade with Company Q in order to get some jam. Eventually Company Q  will only produce jam since they have a comparative advantage in jam production.

adoni [48]
<h3>International trade raises the standard of living in all trading countries. </h3>

Explanation:

International trade is an inter country exchange of goods and services. Globally, exporting offers people and countries the ability to be exposed to goods and services that are not available in their nations, or that would cost more domestically.

Global trade allows countries to make more effective use of their resources–whether labor, technology or money. International trade usually enables countries to concentrate on those markets in which they can be most competitive and effective. In this way, international trade generally raises the standard of living of both producers and consumers.
