Suppose that Perry and Taimur both produce poems and novels. Perry’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 2 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between. Taimur’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 4 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between.
A. Which person can produce poems at lower opportunity cost? Explain. Which person can produce novels at a lower opportunity cost? Explain.
B. Suppose that Perry and Taimur make the following deal. Perry will spend all of his time making poems and Taimur will spend all of his time making novels. Taimur will then send 1 novel to Perry and in return Perry will send Taimur 4 poems. How many poems and novels will Perry have after this trade? How may poems and novels will Taimur have after this trade?
C. I claim that after trading with Taimur, Perry can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself. Likewise, Taimur can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself after trading with Perry. Use equations and a couple of simple calculations to demonstrate that I am correct.
D. What do you think is going on here? Why can both Perry and Taimur now consume a quantity of goods that they never could have produced for themselves?
Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
Solution:
a.
Perry poems = 12
Taimur Poems = 12
Perry Novels = 2
Taimur Novels = 4
Opportunity cost of Poems for Perry = 2/12 = 1/6
Opportunity cost of Poems for Taimur = 4/12 = 1/3
Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry = 12/2 = 6
Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur = 12/4 = 3
As opportunity cost of poems for Perry < Opportunity Cost of Poems for Taimur
So,
Perry can produce poems at lower opportunity cost.
And,
Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur < Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry
SO,
Taimur can produce novels at lower opportunity cost.
b.
Perry spend all time in making poems = 12 poems
Taimur Spend all time in novel making = 4 novels
Trade ---> Taimur send 1 novel, So, he will left with 3 novels, in exchange he will get 4 poems.
So, after trade, we have:
Perry = 8 novels and 1 Poem
Taimur = 4 poems and 3 novels.
c.
The claim is correct.
This is because, Perry makes 8 poems, he is left with with only 4 novels of productivity and as his opportunity cost of novel is 6, he won't be able to produce even 1 novel, if he doesn't trade.
Let's assume Perry and Taimur both have 12 hours of time each.
Productivity of Perry ---> Poems: 12 hours/12 units = 1 Novels: 12/2 = 6
i.e. Perry need 1 hour to produce 1 poem
and 6 hours to produce 1 novel .
So, when Perry produce 8 poems, he exhaust his 8 hours. Now, he is left with 4 hours. So he cannot produce 1 novel, which require 6 hours to complete. So, after trade, he is better off.
d.
As both Perry and Taimur, produce the good, in which they have comparative advantage it lead to specialization. And when they trade the good, in which they have specialization which will lead them expand this consumption possibilities.
Consider each argument for limiting international trade:
The national security argument suggests that national security requires that strategically important goods be produced domestically.
The infant industry argument suggests that protection can help infant industries develop.
The unfair competition argument suggests that anti‑dumping laws prevent unfair competition.
The fair standards argument suggests that trade should not enable firms to skirt regulations.
Determine which argument each statement is related to and whether the statement supports or opposes the argument.
a. "Industries that are protected from foreign competition often never develop to a point where they can compete internationally." This statement _________the ______________argument.
b. 'If foreign importers do not meet U.S. requirements regarding child labor, safety, and the environment, they will have an unfair cost advantage over domestic firms." This statement ___________ the________ argument.
Answer:
a. opposes the infant industry argument.
b. supports the fair standard arguments.
Explanation:
The companies are regulated by the standards. There are certain standards which businesses need to follow in order to achieve regulatory compliance. The companies are regulated but there should be fair competition which enables firms to promote healthy competition in order to develop their business.

Digital Prosper, a web services firm, has experienced a 7 percent decline in revenues in consecutive quarters. In an effort to reduce operating costs, managers reduced the customer service staff from 12 employees to 6. Management also enlisted the remaining employees to help produce a new company vision: to give customers of all budgets a customizable, stress-free web hosting experience. What is wrong with this scenario
Answer: c. Digital Prosper's organizational structures do not align with the vision.
Explanation:
Digital Prosper have reduced their staff by 50% and yet go on to advertise through their vision, that they are able to cater for all types of customers regardless of their budgets.
This purpose of this vision is to bring in more customers and if it succeeds, the remaining employees in customer service will be swamped with work. This might lead to the employees being inefficient thereby creating stress for the customers.
The organizational structure of Digital Prosper therefore does not align with the vision.
Answer:
Marigold's organizational structures do not align with the vision
Explanation:
The internal stakeholders would be designers, manufacturing, assembly, etc here the internal stockholder would be invested that defines the vision so here the organizational structure would not be aligned with the vision as they attempt to provide the better service for the customer as half the originial staff
Tambe Electric entered into a written agreement with Home Depot to provide copper wire to Tambe at a price set forth in the writing, and allowed the contractor the option of paying for the wire over a period of time. Tambe later tried to purchase such wire on a payment plan but Home Depot refused. As Home Depot did not fulfill this written agreement, Tambe sued for $68,000, the additional cost it had to subsequently pay to obtain copper wire for its work. Home Depot defended that it had made an oral condition precedent requiring payment in full by Tambe at the time it accepted the price quote in the written agreement. The result is that:_________
Answer:
Tambe will win.
Explanation:
The Statue of Frauds requires that contracts over $500 are written, and both companies had a written contract. Home Depot later argues that they had orally agreed to modify the written contract. That modification will not hold since it cannot contradict the written contract. In order to legally modify a written contract, you must do it in writing, not orally.
Last year Rennie Industries had sales of $395,000, assets of $175,000 (which equals total invested capital), a profit margin of 5.3%, and an equity multiplier of 1.2. The CFO believes that the company could reduce its assets by $51,000 without affecting either sales or costs. The firm finances using only debt and common equity. Had it reduced its assets by this amount, and had the debt/total invested capital ratio, sales, and costs remained constant, how much would the ROE have changed? Do not round your intermediate calculations.
Answer: 5.9%
Explanation:
Before:
Equity is calculated as:
= Total Assets / Equity Multiplier
= $ 175,000 / 1.2
= $ 145,833
Therefore, ROE will be:
= (Turnover × Profit Margin) / Equity
= ($ 395,000 × 5.3%) / $ 145,833
= $ 20935 / $145,833
= 0.1436
= 14.36%
After:
New Total Assets will be:
= $ 175,000 - $ 51,000
= $ 124,000
Equity
= Total Assets / Equity Multiplier
= $ 124,000 / 1.2
= $ 103,333
ROE will then be:
= (Turnover × Profit Margin) / Equity
= ($ 395,000 × 5.3%) / $ 103,333
= $ 20935 / $ 103,333
= 0.2026
= 20.26%
Therefore, the change in ROE will be:
= 20.26% - 14.36%
= 5.9%
= 4.035%
The following scenario applies to the next three questions. At the start of the current period, Alberich Jewelers had an inventory of three identical gold rings. The cost of the gold ring purchased first is $640, the gold ring purchased next had a cost of $720, and the most recent purchase had a cost of $750. During the current period one of the gold rings was sold for $1,400. Alberich expects this gold ring will be a fast seller and he is thinking about ordering more of the same model for $780 each. If Alberich elects the FIFO method of inventory, after selling one ring for $1,400, compute the gross profit he should report. Post your response without any special characters. So an answer of $1,000 would be expressed as 1000
Answer:
Alberich Jewelers
The gross profit that Alberich should report is 760.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of gold ring purchased first = $640
Cost of gold ring purchased next = $720
Cost of gold ring purchased recently = $750
Sale of one gold ring = $1,400
Using the FIFO method of inventory, the gross profit for the gold ring sold is based on the first gold ring purchased, as follows:
= Sales Revenue - FIFO cost of inventory
= $1,400 - $640
= $760
TVLand sells home entertainment systems and also offers a complementary installation service. The same service is offered by other vendors for $50 on average, and TVLand typically charges approximately 40% more than other vendors for similar services on a stand-alone basis. Using the adjusted market assessment approach, the stand-alone selling price of the installation service is:
Answer:
$70
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the stand-alone selling price of the installation service is:
Stand-alone selling price= $50 + (40%*$50)
Stand-alone selling price=$50+$20
Stand-alone selling price= $70
Therefore the stand-alone selling price of the installation service is:$70
In the welding operations of a bicycle manufacturer, a bike frame has a flow time of about 13.6 hours. The time in the welding operation is spent as follows: 3 hours waiting in front of the cutting machine for the batch to start, 3 hours waiting for the setup of the machine, 1 hour waiting for the other pieces of the batch to go through cutting, 2 minute at the cutting machine, and 3 hours waiting for the transfer to the welding machine. Then, at the welding machine, the unit spends 1 hour waiting in front of the welding machine for the batch to start, 1 hour waiting for the setup of the welding machine, 0.6 hour waiting for the other pieces of the batch to go through welding, 0.65 minute at the welding machine, and 1 hour waiting for the transfer to the next department.
1. Determine the exact flow time.2. What is the value-added percentage of the flow time?
Answer:
Exact flow time in hours
13.64416 hours
% value added flow time = 0.3236
Explanation:
Hours to start = 3
Set up = 3 hours
Time spent cutting = 2 minutes
Time through cutting = 1 hour
Transfer = 3 hours
Time waiting for welding machine = 1 hour
Time for set up = 1 hour
Time waiting for pieces of batch = 0.6 hours
Time at welding machine = 0.65 minutes
Time to transfer to next department = 1 hour
To get the exact flow time we convert the minutes to hour
2 minutes to hour = 2/60 = 0.03333
0.65 minutes to hour = 0.65/60 = 0.01083
We sum up all of these hours
3+3+0.03333+1+3+1+1+0.6+0.01083+1 = 13.64416 hours
1.
13.64416 is the exact flow time in hours.
2.
Value added percentage of flow time
13.64416-13.6
= 0.04416
Percentage = 0.04416/13.64416*100
= 0.003236x100
= 0.3236%

Meade Nuptial Bakery makes very elaborate wedding cakes to order. The company has an activity-based costing system with three activity cost pools. The activity rate for the Size-Related activity cost pool is $1.13 per guest. (The greater the number of guests, the larger the cake.) The activity rate for the Complexity-Related cost pool is $43.52 per tier. (Cakes with more tiers are more complex.) Finally, the activity rate for the Order-Related activity cost pool is $61.44 per order. (Each wedding involves one order for a cake.) The activity rates include the costs of raw ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, and shortening. The activity rates do not include the costs of purchased decorations such as miniature statues and wedding bells, which are accounted for separately. Data concerning two recent orders appear below: Ericson Wedding Haupt Wedding Number of reception guests 60 162 Number of tiers on the cake 4 3 Cost of purchased decorations for cake $ 16.89 $ 38.61 Assuming that the company charges $500.54 for the Haupt wedding cake, what would be the overall margin on the order
Answer:
$86.87
Explanation:
Calculation for what would be the overall margin on the order
Price of cake $500.54
Less Costs:Size related ($183.06)
($1.13 per guest × 162 guests)
Less Complexity-related ($130.56)
($43.52 per tier × 3 tiers)
Less Order-related ($61.44)
($61.44 per order × 1 order)
Less Cost of purchased decorations for cake ($38.61)
Customer margin $86.87
Therefore would be the overall margin on the order is $86.87
Larry Ellison starts a company that manufactures high-end custom leather bags. He hires two employees. Each employee only begins working on a bag when a customer order has been received and then she makes the bag from beginning to end. The average production time of a bag is 1.8 days with a standard deviation of 2.7 days. Larry expects to receive one customer order, per day on average. The arrival process follows a Poisson distribution. What is the expected duration, in days, between when an order is received and when production begins on the bag
Answer:
12.55 days.
Explanation:
Arrival time (a) = 1 day
Coefficient of variation of arrival (CVa) = 1
Processing time (p) = 1.8 days
Standard deviation for processing = 2.7 days
Coefficient of variation for processing = Standard deviation for processing/ Processing time
Coefficient of variation for processing (CVp) = 2.7/ 1.8
Coefficient of variation for processing (CVp) = 1.5
Given, number of servers (m) = 2
Utilization of system (u) = p/(m×a)
Utilization of system (u) = 1.8/(2×1)
Utilization of system (u) = 0.9

Identify whether each of the following statements best illustrates the concept of consumer surplus, producer surplus, or neither.
a. I was willing to pay up to $68 for a used textbook and even though the seller was willing to go as low as $61 in order to sell it, we couldn't reach a deal because the government imposed a price ceiling of $56 on the sale of textbooks.
b. Even though I was willing to pay up to $115 for a used laptop, I bought a used laptop for only $110.
c. I sold a watch for $59, even though I was willing to go as low as $53 in order to sell it.
Answer:
neither
consumer surplus
producer surplus
Explanation:
A in a no transaction took place so there is neither
Consumer surplus is the difference between the willingness to pay of a consumer and the price of the good.
Consumer surplus = willingness to pay – price of the good
$115 - $110 = $5
Producer surplus is the difference between the price of a good and the least price the seller is willing to sell the product
Producer surplus = price – least price the seller is willing to accept
$59 - $53 = $6

Zachary Corporation produces products that it sells for $18 each. Variable costs per unit are $6, and annual fixed costs are $247,200. Zachary desires to earn a profit of $39,600. Required Use the equation method to determine the break-even point in units and dollars. Determine the sales volume in units and dollars required to earn the desired profit.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
Break even point is computed as
= Fixed cost + desired profit/ Contribution margin
Where ;
Contribution margin = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit.
Break even point
= $247,200 + $39,600 / ($18 - $6)
= $247,200 / $12
= 23,900 units

Use Present Worth Analysis to determine whether Alternative A or B should be chosen. Items are identically replaced at the end of their useful lives. Assume an interest rate of 6% per year, compounded annually.
Alternative A Alternative B
Initial Cost 350 985
Annual Benefit 80 226
Salvage Value 160 186
Useful Life (yrs) 2 3
A. Alternative B, because it only incurs the initial cost once every three years instead of every two years
B. Alternative B, because it costs $250.00 more than Alternative A, in terms of present worth
C. Alternative A, because its present worth is positive
D. Alternative A, because it costs $250.00 less than Alternative B, in terms of present worth
Answer:
D. Alternative A, because it costs $250.00 less than Alternative B, in terms of present worth.

Billings Company produces two products, Product Reno and Product Tahoe. Each product goes through its own assembly and finishing departments. However, both of them must go through the painting department. The painting department has capacity of 1,968 hours per year. Product Reno has a unit contribution margin of $96 and requires four hours of painting department time. Product Tahoe has a unit contribution margin of $78 and requires three hours of painting department time.There are no other constraints.Assume that only 500 units of each product can be sold.Required:1. What is the optimal mix of products? If required, round your answers to the nearest whole number. Optimal MixReno unitsTahoe units2. What is the total contribution margin earned for the optimal mix?$
Answer:
Optimal product mix :Tahoe = 500 units, Renoe = 117 units
Total contribution = $50,232
Explanation:
When a business is faced with a problem of shortage of a resource which can be used to produced more than one product type, to maximize the use of the resource , the business should allocate the scare resource for production purpose in such a way that it maximizes the contribution per unit of the scare resource.
Therefore Billing Company should allocate the painting hours to maximise the contribution per unit of painting hour
