Answer: The more narrowly we define a market, the more elastic the demand for a product will be.

Explanation: Narrowly defined markets tend to have more elastic demand than broadly defined markets because it is easier to find close substitutes for narrowly defined goods.

For example, a broad category of food, has a fairly inelastic demand because there are no good substitutes for food while Vanilla flavoured ice cream, a very narrow category, has a very elastic demand because other flavors of ice cream (e. g Chocolate) are perfect substitutes for vanilla.

Jennifer owns a pig farm near Salina, Kansas. Last year she earned $39,000 in total revenue while incurring $38,000 in explic

leonid [27]

Answer:

Jennifer earned an accounting profit of $1,000 and economic loss of $26,000

Explanation:

Total revenue for Jennifer is $39,000.

Explicit costs incurred is $38,000.

The implicit cost or opportunity cost involved is $27,000.

Accounting profit takes into account explicit costs only. It does not include implicit costs involved in the production process.

Jennifer has earned an accounting profit of

= Total revenue - Explicit costs

= $39,000 - $38,000

= $1,000

Economic profit takes into account the explicit cost as well as implicit cost.

The economic profit earned

= Total revenue - Total costs

= $39,000 - ($38,000 + $27,000)

= - $26,000

Brewster's is considering a project with a life of 5 years and an initial cost of $120,000. The discount rate for the project is

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Net present value 27.792‬

Explanation:

Sales 2.100 units x 20 net cash flow = $ 42,000 cash flow per year

Present value of the first three years:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 42,000

time 3 years

discount rate: 0.12

$42000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.12)^{-3} }{0.12} = PV\\$

PV $100,876.9133

For year 4 and 5 we need to check for the expected cashflow

We will multiply each outcome by their probability:

1,400 units x $20 per unit x 0.5 chance = 14,000

2,500 units x $20 per unit x 0.5 chance = 25,000

expected return: 39,000

present value of these years:

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity $39,000.0000

time 4 end of year 4th

rate 0.12

$\frac{39000}{(1 + 0.12)^{4} } = PV$

PV 24,785.21

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity $39,000.0000

time 5 end of year 5th

rate 0.12

$\frac{39000}{(1 + 0.12)^{5} } = PV$

PV 22,129.65

Net present value will be the present value of the cash flow less the investment.

100,877 + 24,785 + 22,130 - 120,000 = 27.792‬

As firms simultaneously downsize and face the need for increased coordination across organizational boundaries, a control system

ddd [48]

Answer:

The correct answer is boundaries and constraints.

Explanation:

One of the proposals offered by The Theory of Restrictions is to focus on the point to be improved and then we can move on to the definition of every day; a chain is as strong as the weakest link; Following this philosophy we must find what is the weakest link in a process in a company and improve at that point, remember that the speed of a process will always be the slowest process, creating a restriction in the process that can appear in any area of the organization.

The management model in conventional companies is directed at cost control. The Theory of Constraints teaches us that we must change the approach, we should not direct our efforts in cost control, but rather in generating money. To generate money you have to work with the client and depending on the client, but for that to happen we must prepare the company to be able to respond to that client, for this reason we must prepare operational models that are agile, flexible, capable of responding to constant and changing requirements.
