3. A company manufactures two types of products: A and B. Three resources R1, R2, and R3 are required to make these products. a.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

(i)The units of production of Product A and B (x and y) are the decision variables

(ii)Objective is to maximize profit

(iii)Objective function, Max P=20x+50y

(iv)The Contraints are:

8x+2y $\leq$ 500....(i)

2x+5y $\leq$ 400.......(ii)

3y $\leq$ 180

x>0, y>0

Explanation:

Let the number of Product A=x

Let the number of Product B=y

Each unit of product A requires 8 units of R1 and 4 units of R2.

Each unit of product B requires 2 units of R1, 5 units of R2, and 3 units of R3

The availabilities of resources R1, R2, and R3 are 500, 400, and 180

Since R1 $\leq$ 500,

Product A requires 8 units of R1 per production unit

Product B requires 2 units of R1 per production unit

Total Unit of R1 possible is given by the inequality: 8x+2y $\leq$ 500....(i)

Since R2 $\leq$ 400,

Product A requires 2 units of R2 per production unit

Product B requires 5 units of R2 per production unit

Total Unit of R2 possible is given by the inequality: 2x+5y $\leq$ 400....(ii)

Since R3 $\leq$ 180,

Product B requires 3 units of R2 per production unit

Total Unit of R2 possible is given by the inequality: 3y $\leq$ 180....(iii)

Since the manufacturer also makes a profit of $20 and $50 for products A and B, our objective is to maximize profit

Therefore: Objective function, Max P=20x+50y ......(iv)

How would the number of firms competing in a particular market affect the likelihood that an exporter to that market would be ac

professor190 [17]

Answer:

We can assume companies form country A export to country B. Country B's economy is very large and many domestic and foreign firms compete in it. High levels of competition will eventually lower the costs of products sold in a market, so the products sold in Country B have relatively low prices.

In order for foreign companies to compete in country B's market they must have low prices. So companies from country A will sell its products in country B at low prices, increasing the possibility that the price of their exports are lower than their domestic prices (prices for their own country). Therefore the chance for a dumping accusation increases.

5-7 Short Run versus Long Run A firm sells 1,000 units per week. It charges $70 per unit, the average variable costs are $25, an

irina1246 [14]

a. The firm should carry out the activities.

b.The firm should carry out activities until it is covering the cost.

c. The firm should shut down business activities when the price of the product goes below $25 in short-run.

d. The firm should shut down business activities when the price of the product goes below $65 in long-run.

Further Explanation:

a

Steps taken by the firm in the long run:

The sales price of the product is $70. The total average cost of the product is $65. The firm can cover all its costs (variable and fixed) and generating a profit of $5. So it should continue to carry out its business operations in the short run.

b.

Steps taken by the firm in the long run:

In the long run, all the costs of the firm are variable. In the current case, the fixed cost is around 60% of the total cost. So the firm should attempt to decrease this cost. If the firm can decrease the total cost, it should carry out the business activities. The firm can continue to carry out the operational activities until it is making the profit and covering all the product cost.

c.

The appropriate price for shutting down the business in the short-run:

The firm can shut down the business in the short-run when the price of the product is below $25.

In the short run, the firm can only control the variable cost. The firm can not control the fixed cost of the product. In the given case, the variable cost of the product is $25. Therefore, the firm should shut down the business when the price of the product goes below the variable cost ($25).

d.

The appropriate price for shutting down the business in the long-run:

The firm can shut down the business in the long-run when the price of the product is below $65.

In the long run, the firm can influence all the costs of the business. It can influence the variable cost and the fixed cost of the business. Therefore, it should cover the total cost of the product. Thus, the firm should shut down the business when the price of the product goes below the total cost ($65).

Cannon Co. has a unit selling price of $500, variable cost per unit $300, and fixed costs of $240,000. Compute the break-even po

Furkat [3]

Answer:

Break-even point= 1,200 units

Break-even point (dollars)= $600,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cannon Co. has a unit selling price of $500, variable cost per unit $300, and fixed costs of $240,000.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point= fixed costs/ contribution margin

Break-even point= 240,000/ (500 - 300)

Break-even point= 1,200 units

To calculate the break-even point in dollars, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 240,000/ (200/500)

Break-even point (dollars)= $600,000

sineoko [7]

Answer:

b. enforce the policy or recover the amount of the premiums paid.

Explanation:

Petra being a a member of the class of persons protected by the statute is a big advantage. This translates to lesser or no punishments at all for defaulting the set rules and protocols of insurance in his/her state.

This means Petra can either enforce the law as a top person or recover the amount of premiums paid.
