Answer:

setup cost = $1.75

setup time = 2.625 min

Explanation:

given data

firm operates = 250 days per year

Annual demand = 22,000

Daily demand = 88

Daily production = 250

Desired lot size = 63 (2 hours of production)

Holding cost = $40 per unit per year

to find out

setup cost and setup time

solution

we find first setup cost that is express as

setup cost = $\frac{Q^2*H*(1-\frac{d}{p})}{2D}$ ......................1

here Q is Desired lot size and H is Holding cost and d is Daily demand and D is Annual demand and p is Daily production

put here value

setup cost = $\frac{63^2*40*(1-\frac{88}{250})}{2*22000}$

setup cost = $\frac{2969*40*(0.648)}{44000}$

setup cost = $1.75

and

setup time is

setup time = $\frac{setup\ cost}{setup\ labor}$ ....................2

setup time = $\frac{1.75*60min/hr}{40}$

setup time = 2.625 min

<h3>Give a brief account on Marketing.</h3>

Marketing is the process of discovering, developing, and delivering value to meet the needs of a target market in terms of products and services. Choosing a target market, selecting specific traits or themes to highlight in advertising, executing marketing campaigns, attending trade shows and open events, creating products and packaging that appeal to consumers, and defining the terms of sale, such as the purchase price, discounts, warranties, and return policies are other possible steps. Usually, the seller, who is usually a manufacturer or merchant, handles the marketing.

The occasional hiring of a specialized marketing firm or advertising agency may be necessary. Less frequently, a trade association or government agency (like the Agricultural Marketing Service) will market an entire sector or location, frequently a single food item (like Got Milk? ), food from a specific area.

b. Inside salespersons generally focus on taking orders and following up, whereas outside salespersons are more consultative. Hence, option (d) is the relevant option.

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": True.

Explanation:

Digitizing photographs complicated printing since it pushed printers' manufacturers to invest more in their development teams to create high-quality image printing devices. This was originated as a result of the spread of the paste-up process which allowed individuals to attach almost any image to their documents for printing purposes.

A competitive firm currently produces and sells 7,500 units of output at a price of $2.50 per unit. The firm's average fixed cos

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

A. $-2,250

B. The firm should continue to operate in the short run because price is greater than average variable cost

C.The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

D. In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost. As firms exit the industry, supply would fall and this would lead to an excess of demand over supply. As a result, price would rise

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogenous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit. If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

( $2.50 - $2.80) × 7,500 = $-2,250

The firm is earning a loss

A firm should shutdown in the short run if price is less than average variable cost.

Average variable cost = average total cost- average total cost

$2.80 - $0.75 = $2.05

2.50 > 2.05 so the firm should continue to operate in the short run.

The firm should exit in the long run because it is making losses

In the long run, prices would increase because in a competitive firm, price must equal average cost

I hope my answer helps you.
