Title Case: Ford to Shutdown Australian Production by 2016 The Ford Motor Company has decided to wind down production in Australia after 85 years. The carmaker says the closure of two plants and the loss of 1,200 jobs are because of production losses and the small market. “Manufacturing is not viable for Ford in Australia for the longer term,” said Chief Executive of Ford Australia Bob Graziano. “Our locally made products continue to be unprofitable, while our imported products continue to be profitable.” Analysts estimate the company has approximately $580 million in losses in the last fiscal year, and profit fell by 72 percent. Ford’s decision in Australia follows effort to also close shop in Europe. Graziano told reporters, Australian production was no longer sustainable as it was double the costs of Europe and quadruple the costs in Asia. The average hourly manufacturing salary in Australia in 2011 was $46.29, slightly lower than in Germany but 30 percent higher than the US and…

sessment arch Question 3 (13 marks) Maximum word count: 250 words South African pineapple exports decreased by 15% from 2022 to 2023. The South African Pine Growers' Association has identified the worsening of the country's electricity and logistics problems as a significant driver behind the drop in exports. This decrease in exports forced producers to process the pineapples locally, leading to an increase in the production of Porky Pine Pops. However, Porky Pine Pops is considered an inferior good. Simultaneously, households experienced a decrease in real income due to an increase in unemployment resulting from load-shedding. Explain how the market for Porky Pine Pops is affected by these changes. Clearly indicate the effect on the equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity of Porky Pine Pops. You should use a combination of diagrams and written explanations in your answer. 21:2 21°C Sunny AORENG 2024/0

Currently we have about 15,059 subscribers, generating monthly revenue of $146,823.Some  have  suggested  we  should  cut  price,  as  customers  tend  to  be  fairly  price  sensitive  for  add-on  packages.  However,  in  this  case,  if  we  lower price for our new subscribers, we really need to cut it to all of our existing  subscribers  as  well.  I  have  some  concerns  that  lowering  price  will be counter-productive.The   marketing   department   calculated   some   subscription   levels   at   various price points in this region, and I need you to perform the analysis.…

Economic Recommendation for Ned and Larry’s Ice Cream Company about the Product Container Size   Ned and Larry’s Ice Cream Company produces specialty ice cream and frozen yogurt in pint-sized containers. The latest annual performance report praised the firm for its progressive policies but noted that environmental issues like packaging disposal were a concern. In an effort to reduce the effects of consumer disposal of product packaging, the report stated that Ned and Larry’s should consider changing the size of product container.   At present, the firm packages its ice cream and frozen yogurt in pint containers. The packaging cost per gallon and handling labor cost per gallon are $0.256 and $0.128, respectively. The pint-sized container will require postconsumer landfill contribution from discarded packaging of 6,500 cubic yards per year.   By packaging the product in containers larger than the current pints, the plastic- coated bleached sulfate board containers will hold more ounces…
