Explanation:

In Economics, subsidy can be defined as the amount of money or benefits such as tax reduction given by the government to sellers in order to sustain production and enable the buy to continuously purchase the product.

Division A makes a part with the following characteristics: Production capacity in units 34,000 units Selling price to outside c

azamat

Answer:

Division A

If Division A agrees to sell the parts to Division B at $18 per unit, the company as a whole will be:

worse off by $30,000 each period.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Production capacity of Division A = 34,000

Selling price per unit to outside customers = $21

Variable cost per unit = $13

Total fixed costs = $105,800

Order from Division B = 10,000

Price that Division B purchases from outside supplier = $18

Selling to Division B instead of selling to outside customers will result in a loss of $3 ($21 - $18) per unit

The total loss = $30,000 ($3 * 10,000)

A small market orders copies of a certain magazine for its magazine rack each week. Let X 5 demand for the magazine, with pmf Su

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the demand for the magazine, the pmf for X is given by:

X 1 2 3 4 5 6

P(X) 1/15 2/15 3/15 4/15 3/15 2/15

3 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*3 = $ 6

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$6 = -$2 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$6 = $2 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$6 = $6 , X=3 (demand 3)

For the values of X=4,5,6 the net revenue will be $6 since the number of magazines is 3

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

$E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-2) +\frac{2}{15} *(2) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) + \frac{4}{15}*(6) +\frac{3}{15}*(6) +\frac{2}{15}*(6) = \frac{74}{15}=4.93$

4 magazines

For this case the total spent is 2*4 = $ 8

And the net revenue for this case would be:

$4-$8 = -$4 , X=1 (demand 1)

$4*2-$8 = $0 , X=2 (demand 2)

$4*3-$8 = $4 , X=3 (demand 3)

$4*4-$8 = $8 , X=4 (demand 4)

For the values of X=5,6 the net revenue will be $8 since the number of magazines is 4

And the expected value for the net revenue would be:

$E(R) = \frac{1}{15} *(-4) +\frac{2}{15} *(0) +\frac{3}{15}*(4) + \frac{4}{15}*(8) +\frac{3}{15}*(8) +\frac{2}{15}*(8) = \frac{80}{15}=5.33$

As as we can see we have a higher expected value for the case with 4 magazines.

Television advertisements typically portray the elderly as being

rosijanka [135]

Television ads usually portray the elderly as being vibrant, active, healthy, energetic, etc.

In television ads, things are usually depicted as being the opposite of what they are in real life. That, or television ads are meant to reinforce stereotypes. That's usually in more television shows, instead of advertisements though.

1. What are some considerations in choosing a financial institution? Which one do you think would be the most important consider

Greeley [361]

1. In choosing a financial institution you must consider how frequently the bank responds, how long they operate on the weekends, the notary services they are offering, the loans you can get and their financial strength among others. The most important factor to consider would be the institution's financial strength since you must only put your trust in institutions with high strength.

2. One good thing about the U.S. savings bonds is their security and the fact that the investments that you will make in these bonds will not cost you any form of state or local taxes. Cons would include its complexity though as it can get hard for you to identify when the bonds will mature, their interest rates, when to know how to cash them, and their current value.

3. If you put your trust in the so-called "problematic" financial institutions, you are basically gambling your money away. First of all, as mentioned earlier, you must only put your trust in banks with a healthy financial strength since problematic ones will be unreliable and unsafe. Trusting them can lead to your money being stolen or you can also be bombarded with additional fees.

4. The state and local government have laws that will protect the consumer from unfair practices or frauds. As an individual, you can add more security to protect yourself and your money. This protection includes setting up alerts on your bank account, adding a two-step verification on your emails so no one can access it easily, as well as avoiding calling lists.

5. One major advantage is that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has a $100,000 guarantee per institution so your investment won't be totally gone during unfortunate circumstances. The disadvantage, on the other hand, is that the interest rates on federally-insured accounts are below the inflation rate so you can expect a decrease in the value of your money over time.
