Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion You have opened your own word-processing service. You bought a personal computer, and paid $5,000 for it. However, due to the cost changes in the computer industry, the current price of an equivalent machine is $2,500. You could sell any used machine for $1,000. If you were not word processing, you could earn $20,000 per year at an alternative job. Assume that the interest rate is 10%. You can also hire an assistant who can do everything that you can do for $20,000 per year (you would still continue to do word processing). One person using one computer can produce 11,000 typed pages per year, and the price per page for your service is $2. You are considering three options: (A) expand your business by hiring an assistant; (B) leave your business the way it is; (C) shut down. Fill in the Blank For Option B, economic profit is $_______.
Flat Screen Televisions Lose $126 per Unit Sold: Sony CorporationMost of the cost of a flat screen TV involves the LCD panel. Globally, 220 million flat screen TVs were sold in 2011 for $115 billion. Although scale economies in massive factories and volume discounts on electronic input components have driven the cost of LCDs down from $2,400 to $500 the last decade, the price has fallen even faster. In 2001, the average selling price of a large LCD panel was over $4,000. By 2011, this price had fallen below $600. Sony Corporation finds its flat screen TVs now fail to cover the full cost of the LCD panels and instead impose a $126 ($500 - $374) loss per TV sold. Nevertheless, the indirect fixed costs of the LCD factories including Korean Samsung, Japanese Sharp, Panasonic, and Sony constructed are partially covered by continuing its operation (continue production). Losses would be greater in the short run if they shut down.As an economic consultant, what would you advise Sony…

The ABC Toy Company makes a few types of toy cars on one of its production line. Based on orders received and forecasts of future demand, it is estimated that the demand (in units) for the next four seasons is: Fall 10,000; Winter 8000; Spring 7,000; Summer 12,000. Inventory at the beginning of Fall is 660 units. At the beginning of Fall, ABC has 30 workers. Relevant costs: hiring: $100/worker hiredlayoff: $200/worker laid offinventory holding: $5/unit/seasonbackorder: $10/unitregular time cost: $5/hour Assume that the productivity is 0.5 units per worker hour, with eight hours per day and 60 days per season. Inventory cost is estimated based on the ending inventory for each period. The relevant costs are shown in the accompanying table.(a) Find the total cost of the level plan.(b) Find the total cost of the chase plan.(c) Suppose that ABC has negotiated with the union on the option of using the regular workforce on overtime ($8/hour) during Winter and Spring, if necessary.

Summarize this While the major economies slid into recession and industries suffered great losses to the COVID-19 pandemic, E-commerce sales saw explosive growth. In this rapid movement of consumers to online purchasing and delivery services, there has been a large increase in the demand for packaging materials, such as cardboard boxes. Supporting this, Parcel Shipping Index by Pitney Bowes Inc. (2020) finds global parcel volume exceeding 131 billion, a 27% increase from 2019. Corrugated cardboards are largely and versatilely used for secondary packaging of goods, up to the tertiary packaging of large packs into mass cargo (Saxon Packaging, 2020). In addition to its relatively low cost, its strength and durability are also remarkable in protecting a variety of products from damage, notably during the shipment process. Given this, businesses have been largely reliant on the material as a practical, secure, and sustainable way of containing their products from production centers to…
