Answer:
A) USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine
B) $118076
C) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials
while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset
Explanation:
<u>A) Determine If the USA be better off using the new dye </u>
Units of clothes to be dyed = 50,000
Difference in cost = [ 4 ( 1.25 - 0.5 ) ] = 4 * 0.75 = $3
Total cost of using the new dye = 50000 * $3 = $150,000
Fine = $130,000
hence USA will not be better off switching to the new dye since the cost is greater than the Fine
<u>B) Determine by how much overall cost will be reduced at the end of 12 months using Kaizen costing </u>
<em>condition : reduce fabric and labor cost by 1%</em>
Original Monthly Costs without the use of Kaizen Costing =( Total Units/Number of Months)*(Fabric Cost per Unit + Labor Cost per Unit)*Number of Months
= [( 10000 + 50000 )/12 ) * ( 6 + 4 ) ] *12
= [ 5000 * 10 ] *12 = $600,000
Applying kaizen costing
Given: Fabric cost per unit = $6 , Labor cost per unit = $4
Total units of production = 10000 + 50000 = 60,000
Kaizen costing formula per month = [ (cost per unit * total units / 12 ) - ( 1% of cost per unit * total units / 12) ]
Total annual cost using Kaizen costing = $56807.61
difference in cost = $600,000 - $568076 = $31924
with the new dye and Kaizen costing the overall cost will be change by $118076 i.e. ($150,000 - $31924) = <em>$118076 </em>
C ) The reduction in material/fabric cost can be achieved by the reduction in material wastage and in the use of quality materials
while the reduction in labor cost can be achieved by Hiring well trained employees with the necessary skillset
Answer:
hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing part
answer: Pd = 1658 , Qd = 42
Explanation:
The monopolist will choose a discount price of ( Pd ) = 1658 and sell 42 units of the good in the discount market
since the standard price is at $1800 and the Qm ( standard monopoly quantity) is at 200 for the Monopoly to be profitable the amount of good to be sold to customers with reservation prices greater than or equal to standard price should be greater than the good offered at discount price and also the discount price after using a coupon should be lower than the standard price (Pm)
