Answer:
All of the above are true.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing returns was first formulated by the classic economist David Ricardo. It presupposes a technical relationship between input and output, which is not scientifically demonstrable but only empirically. In practice, in a generic production system, at any contribution of any factor, that is, land, labor, capital, machines, etc. there is no proportionally increasing production increase.
Normally it is assumed that the law does not always come into operation but only when the variable input exceeds a certain threshold. For example, the increase of workers on an assembly line certainly allows a proportional increase in production, but only until the entire system begins to suffer from malfunctions due to logistics or work organization, precisely because of the its getting bigger. Large industrial plants have shown that they must be divided into sections, however coordinated, precisely because of the decreasing returns. This is because the increase in the number of workers and the mass of the plants does not correspond to a consequent increase in production.
Answer:
It is preferable to further process Product A.
Explanation:
Product should be processed further before sale if the net incremental benefits from further processing is positive.
The net incremental benefits from further processing is increase in revenue when further processed less further costs of processing.
Increase in revenue=$58,000-$40,000
=$18,000
Further processing costs=$15,000
Net incremental benefits=$18,000-$15,000
Net incremental benefits=$3,000
Since processing further brings a net benefit of $3,000, Product A should be further processed before being sold.
Answer: false
Explanation:
The statement is false because cost leadership is not really sustainable as it's cost effective due to the maintenance charge required to keep them in a great care despite the low operational cost being runned by the organization
Answer:
When a company sells different securities together (this usually happens during mergers and acquisitions):
- and the price of all the securities is not certain, the incremental method will first allocate proceeds to the sale of securities whose price is actually certain. The remaining proceeds will be allocated to the securities whose price is uncertain. E.g. total sales $10 million, stocks worth $5 million were sold and bonds worth ? million were sold. The company will allocate $5 million to stocks and $5 million to bonds.
- and the price of all the securities is certain, the proportional method allocates the sales proceeds proportionally among the different securities sold. E.g. total sales $10 million, stocks worth $5 million were sold and bonds worth $3 million were sold. The company will allocate ($5/$8) x $10 million = $6.25 million to stocks and $3.75 to bonds.
Answer:
Equilibrium price = $6
Total quantity in the market would be > 400 units ( unchanged )
Explanation:
Applying small=country model
world price of product = $6
import quota = 400 units
The Equilibrium price in Marketopia would be $6 and the total quantity available in Marketopia would > 400 units
This is because in a small country assumption model, the total imports made by any country is insignificant to the Total quantity of the products available in the market therefore it has no effect on the price of the products even if when the imports are stopped by the country
