2. A refrigerator manufacturer is planning capacity expansions. They havedetermined that their capacity cost follows the equation below, where f(y) = kya,is the cost of a plant that can produce y units annually.f(y) = 0.0107y⁰.62They have determined that when a = 0.62, using a = u/(e" - 1) gives a value u =0.89.Their demand for refrigerators is growing at a rate of 5000 units annually, andthey use a 16% interest rate for discounting.At the optimal capacity addition level, what does each capacity installation cost?

Capacity Cost are in the form : F(y) = kya For above example , a = 0.62 & k = 0.0107 Demand is…

3. Union Water Purification Company (UWPC) is evaluating two possible designs for a new production facility to replace their present obsolete facility. The total cost functions for the two facilities are: TC1 = 550,000 + 600Q TC2 = 300,000 + 825Q Both plants would produce an identical desalination device that sells for $2,600 per unit. UWPC foresees no change in demand and intends to estimate sales from an average of the last seven years: Year Sales ($000) 1,100 1,075 1,200 1,250 1,150 1,100 1,125 Calculate the operating leverage for both plant designs. Find the level of production at which neither plant design has an advantage. Considering the sales information given, which plant design has a greater probability of cost savings?

Consider the allocation of a fixed, renewable supply of surface water in a given year between two competing users: municipal and industrial users (M) and agricultural users (A). The demand for water by M-users is MBM = 250 – QM and the marginal extraction cost is MXCM = 50. The demand for water by A-users is MBM = 170 – 0.5*QM and the marginal extraction cost is MXCM = 20. S is the annual supply of surface water is the basin. Assuming that there is no water scarcity in the basing (i.e., S > S’), what is the efficient level of water use for M- and A-users?
International Production: You have two factories that produce identical products (let's say plastic forks). The plants and equipment are fully depreciated and there are no fixed costs. Note, this is a competitive market. As a result, your cost basis in the USA is TCusa = 80Yusa^2, your cost basis in CHINA is TCchina = 48Ychina^2. The demand for plastic forks is Y=1488. Note: The production then becomes Y = Yusa + Ychina = 1488 a. With no restrictions (competitive markets exist) how many plastic forks will the USA produce? b. How much would China need to lower their cost to produce all of the 1488 plastic forks? c. How much of a subsidy would the firm need to produce all 1488 plastic forks in the USA, given the original TC functions?
Consider the following statements. Which is true about product life cycle theory? (I) In the early stages of the product life cycle, the demand for the new product is relatively insensitive to the price and thus a pioneering firm can charge a relatively high price. (II) It predicts that over time the U.S. switches from an exporting country of new products to an importing country. (III) When plotting "quantity sold" versus "time" in U.S. , the initial sharp increasing in production flattens out or even reduces over the time. Group of answer choices none of the others (I), (II), (III) Only (III) Only (I) Only (II)
FOREST owners are seeing the best returns for years as a result of snaring a greater share of the huge Chinese market, but some Kiwi sawmills are running short of logs as a result. In 2009, log sales to China were worth about $530 million, more than double the $236m the previous year, and volumes were also more than double levels in 2008. Log prices remained at historically high levels of about US$145 a cubic metre for A grade logs delivered to China, according to a report from PF Olsen. ...the Timber Industry Federation warns that timber prices are likely to rise at least 10 per cent, after recent log price rises of up to 15 per cent. Prices for logs kept going up. China has become a key log market for New Zealand and log exports are "way up and forest owners are quite happy", one big forest company executive said. Another forest investor Roger Dickie, of Roger Dickie NZ, said the "log market has definitely improved, quite dramatically in the last few months" as a result of the…
Power Notebooks, Inc. plans to manufacture a new line of notebook computers. Management is trying to decide whether to purchase the LCD screens for the computers from an outside supplier or to manufacture the screens in-house. The screens cost $100 each from the outside supplier. To set up the assembly process required to produce the screens in-house would cost $100,000. The company could then produce each screen for $25. At what level of output, is the company better off producing LCD screens inhouse vs purchasing it from outside supplier? 2333 1334 1333 2334
Rex Carr owns a junkyard which processes used cars into scrap metal. In the long-run Rex can use two methods to destroy cars. The first involves purchasing a hydraulic car smasher which costs $200 a year to own and then spending $1 for every car smashed. The second method involves purchasing a hammer that will last one year and costs $40, and paying his brother Otto Carr to destroy the cars at a cost of $5 each. What is the minimum number of cars processed per year for which Rex should be willing to purchase the hydraulic smasher?
