Little Kona is a small coffee company that is considering entering a market dominated by Big Brew. Each company's profit depends on whether Little Kona enters and whether Big Brew sets a high price or a low price: Big Brow High Price Low PriceLittle Kona Enter $2 million, $3 million -$2 million, $1 million Don't Enter $0, $8 million $0,$3 millionBoth Little Kona and Big Brew have a dominant strategy in this game.a. Trueb. False

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

As long as the statement holds that ''each company's profit depends on whether Little Kona enters...'' and the response of the existing monopoly to charge a low price to keep its market share; then both little Kona and Big Brew have a dominant strategy in this game.

They both will become a duopoly which implies that there will be two players in the industry and the price of Big Brow will be greatly influenced by the presence of Little Kona. Big Brow could charge as high as $8 if Little Kona is absent but as low as $2 if Little Kona is enters the industry.

Obviously they both have a dominant strategy, considering further that the entrance of Little Kona changes the industry structure from monopoly to duopoly

How does Amazon illustrate the sources of service sector growth?

Answers

Answer:

The service sector grows because of the same reason that any other economy sector grows: the demand for it increases.

Explanation:

Demand increases because new services are created, or existing ones obtain more customers: a larger market share.

In the case of Amazon, the service it offers is deliveries, but Amazon took deliveries to its logical conclusion, becoming an online store that essentially sells everything, from books to car accessories, to fruits and vegetables.

Amazon has become a giant company because it exploited a existing market that had a lot of untapped potential, and customers at the same time responded by demanding even more of these services. In other words, Amazon and the customers formed a virtous cycle that feeds economic growth.

A machine does three setups per production cycle. Each setup takes 20 minutes. The processing time is 0.5 minute. What batch size achieves a capacity of 24 units per hour

Answers

Answer: A batch size of 30units

Explanation:

The set up time is given as 20 Minutes per production cycle, Production cycle  for the machine has 3 cycles

Therefore  the set uo time for the cycles = 20 mins x 3= 60 minutes

Processing time = 0.5 minutes

Capacity = 24units per hour , changing to minutes we have

24 units / 60 minutes = 6/ 15 = 2/5 = 0.4 minutes

Capacity = Batch size / Set up time + batch size x processing  time per unit

0.4 = B/ 60 + B X 0.5

0.4 = B/60 + 0.5B

0.4( 60 + 0.5B) = B

24 + 0.2B=B

24=B-0.2B

0.8B=24

B =24/0.8

Batch size = 30  can be achieve at a capacity of 24 units per hour.

Suppose that Tucker Industries has annual sales of $6.60 million, cost of goods sold of $2.94 million, average inventories of $1,205,000, and average accounts receivable of $660,000. Assuming that all of Tucker's sales are on credit, what will be the firm's operating cycle? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answers

Answer:

186.10 days

Explanation:

The operating cycle = Days inventory outstanding + days sale outstanding

where,

Day inventory outstanding = (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ cost of goods sold × number of days in a year

= ($1,205,000) ÷ $(2,940,000) × 365 days  

= 149.60 days

Day sale outstanding = (Beginning Accounts receivable + ending Accounts receivable) ÷ Net sales × number of days in a year

= ($660,000) ÷ ($6,600,000) × 365 days

= 36.5 days

Now put these days to the above formula  

So, the days would equal to

= 149,60 days + 36.5 days

= 186.10 days

Ambrosia Foods produces a gourmet condiment that sells for $ 22 per unit. Variable cost is $ 8 per​ unit, and fixed costs are $ 8,000 per month. If Ambrosia expects to sell 1,500 ​units, compute the margin of safety in units

Answers

Answer:

Margin of safety in units = 590.9 units (approx. 591 units)

Explanation:

To calculate this, we have to determine the margin of safety in terms of cash/amount, then convert it to units.

The margin of safety in this case is defined as the difference between the selling price and the break even point. It can simply be explained as the profit made on selling a product, gotten after deduction cost of production.

First of all, let us calculate the total cost of production for 1,500 units;

variable cost;

1 unit = $8

∴ 1,500 units = 1500 × 8 = $12,000

Fixed cost = $8,000

Therefore total cost of production = variable cost + fixed cost

= 12,000 + 8,000 = $20,000

Next, let us calculate the selling price;

1 unit = $22

∴1,500 units = 1,500 × 22 = 33,000

safety margin in cash = Selling price - cost price = 33,000 - 20,000

= $13,000

To convert this amount to units, let us find out how many units are sold for $13,000 as follows;

$22 = 1 units

∴ $13,000 units = (1/22) × 13,000 = 590.9 units
