In economics, supply and demand refers to a relationship between the amount of a ware that producers wish to offer at different costs and the amount that consumers wish to purchase.
Because of the way that automobiles are ending up more fuel proficient the general impact on the equilibrium cost of gasoline is that there will be a less need of gas required thus the cost will diminish or decrease. According to my thinking, it would be more beneficial to the economy due to the lesser degree a need however it would offer more gas because of the abatement in cost. Society utilizes different things that uses gas other than cars, for example, lawnmowers, tractors, bikes, and so on. So despite the fact that new advancements are diminishing the cost related with creating gas society still deliver items that utilizes fuel every day that will keep on having an impact on the equilibrium price overall.
Answer:
1. $46,550
2. $405,000
3. $450,600
Explanation:
1. Computation of differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200
Differential cost = Cost of a new model 300 - Cost of a new model 200
Differential cost = $396,350 - $349,800
Differential cost = $46,550
So, the differential cost regarding decision to buy model 200 is $46,550.
2. Sunk costs are the costs which are already incurred by the entity in the past and which are not relevant to decision made today. In this case, sunk cost is the cost of the machine purchased seven years ago for $405,000.
3. Opportunity cost is the profit forgone by chosen alternative course of action. In this case, the Opportunity cost regarding the decision to invest in the model 200 machine is $450,600.
True because we do put other things above each other and
Keeping the appropriate cash flow in the cash flow register, using a financial calculator, NPV should be calculated for taking the decision.
Answer: According to the NPV calculated, Chen should buy a new machine.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Cash outflow = $40000
Increase in annual after-tax cash flows : CF = $9000
Place the cash flow on a time line:
0 1 2 10
I 10 I I . . . I
-110000 19000 19000 19000
With a financial calculator, input the appropriate cash flow into the cash flow register, input I/YR = 10, and then solve for NPV. The answer for NPV is $6746.78.
Thus, Chen should buy a new machine.
Answer
D) compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be approx 30% lower.
Explanation
EOQ = √(2*Co*D/Cc)
EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/(Cc*(1-x)))
x=D/P
D = demand rate
P =production rate
Co=ordering cost
Cc=holding cost
1) The production rate would be about double the usage rate.
hence, P = 2D
x=D/2D=0.5
EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/((1-0.5)*Cc))
EPQ= √ (2*Co*D/0.5Cc)
EPQ=√ (1/0.5)*EOQ
EPQ=√ (2)*EOQ
EPQ=1.41*EOQ
Hence, EPQ is around 40% larger than EOQ.
Ans.: c) EPQ will be approximately 40% larger than the EOQ.
2) Compared to the EOQ, the maximum inventory would be
maximum inventory = Q
EPQ = 1.41 EOQ
EPQ = 1.41*Q
Q=EPQ/1.41
Q=0.71 EPQ
Hence, compared to EOQ, maximum inventory in EPQ is only 70% of that in EOQ model.
