Answer:

“Water cannot be used for certain crops because you are using it on others.”

Explanation:

The first and second option aren’t shortages. It just shows that no one is around to do any business. So the first 2 options are incorrect. The third option isn’t correct either. No items would be unavailable because they were shipped. If items were shipped, it would be a gain for a certain amount of time for people.

Dragon Inc. a NJ based construction firm is evaluating whether to replace an aging machine with a new model. For the old machine

Vilka [71]

Answer:

It should replace the old machine. In the current accounting period.

Explanation:

We need to perform a relevant cost analysis:

Keep the machine:

F0 = $0

F1 = $1500 maintenance

F2 = $3,000 maintenance

F3 = $6,000 maintenance

F4 = $12,000 maintenance

F5 =$24,000 maintenance + 250 resale value

replace the machine:

F0 = -12,000 purchase + 4,000 sale of old machine = -800

F1 = $900 maintenance

F2 = $900 maintenance

F3 = $900 maintenance

F4 = $900 maintenance

F5 =$900 maintenance + 1,500 resale value

As revenues are the same for each machine, we ignore them. We will only focus on the cost each machine generate:

We solve for the present worth of each machine with a discount rate of 12%

$\displaystyle PV_{old} = -\frac{1,500}{1.12} - \frac{3,000}{1.12^2} - \frac{6,000}{1.12^3} - \frac{12,000}{1.12^4} - \frac{23,750}{1.12^5}\\\\\displaystyle PV_{old} = -29,104.15$

$\displaystyle PV_{new} = -8,000 - \frac{900}{1.12} - \frac{900}{1.12^2} - \frac{900}{1.12^3} - \frac{900}{1.12^4} + \frac{600}{1.12^5}\\\\\displaystyle PV_{new} = -10,393.16$

As the present worth of the new machine is lower, the best decision for the company is to purchase the new machine and sale the old machine.

Delaying this will incur in higher maintenance cost (1,500 - 900)

and a lower recovery value (4,000 - 2,000)

As there is no cost saving for delaying the purchase, it should be made immediately.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Imports create greater competition in the domestic marketplace.

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is defined as the ability of a company to produce goods at a lower opportunity cost than other competitors. They can now sell the goods at lower prices.

If the company in this scenario have competitive advantage in producing electronics then it is xheap for them to produce.

When they export electronics and import again, it can only mean that the imported electronics have a competitive edge that the company wants to take advantage of. For example higher quality than what is available locally.

logistics cost factors are cost factors associated with logistics ( concerned with acquisition, storage and transportation ofresources) based on the kind of business or kind of products or services a company is into. From the above we see that logistics cost factors vary as the companies are into different products or services and industries and therefore face different logistics costs associated with their production and or delivery. Every company aims to achieve logistics efficiency through minimizing costs associated with their logistics costs factors example Hyundai with transportation logistics cost factors would aim to reduce it's logistics cost factors and maximise profits by its locating it's manufacturing plant close to where it imports parts for it's vehicle manufacturing so as to reduce cost of transporting vehicle parts to manufacturing plant
