Mrs Samuels, who started the business, enjoys managing the operation.The production process involves the designing, cutting, sewing, decorating and finishing of the various items. Currently the factory space is divided into areas allowing for each of the processes to take place efficiently. The factory facility is rented on a three-year contract basis. Mrs Samuels has recently signed a new contract for another three year period. Mrs Samuels is keen to correctly identify the different costs in the business and analyse each of the operations to identify whether she is maximising output. In order to do this she requires assistance with understanding the “economics” of the operation. question Discuss the different types of costs that this operation will face in the short run. Give appropriate examples in each case.[Hint: Use the economic theory you have studied relating…
A firm has a capital budget of $30,000 and is considering three possible independent projects. Project A has a present outlay of $12,000 and yields $4,231 per annum for 5 years. Project B has a present outlay of $10,000 and yields $4,184 per annum for 5 years. Project C has a present outlay of $17,000 and yields $5,802 per annum for 10 years. Funds which are not allocated to one of the projects can be placed in a bank deposit. Identify seven combinations of project investments and a bank deposits which exhaust the budget. Which of the above combinations should the firm choose when the bank deposit rate is (i) 15% or (ii) 20%? Explain your answer and show your work. Suppose there is no option to deposit in the bank, but the projects are "divisible" (e.g. you may have 25% of project A). Which combination should the firm choose? Explain your answer and show your work. Use 15% as the deposit rate (discount rate).

A manufacturing plant has a potential production capacity of 1,000 units per month(capacity can be increased by 10 percent if subcontractors are employed). The plantis normally operated at about 80 percent of capacity. Operating the plant above this level significantly increases variable costs per unit because of the need to pay theskilled workers higher overtime wage rates. For output levels up to 80 percent ofcapacity, variable cost per unit is $100. Above 80 percent and up to 90 percent, variable costs on this additional output increase by 10 percent. When output is above90 percent and up to 100 percent of capacity, the additional units cost an additional25 percent over the unit variable costs for outputs up to 80 percent of capacity. Forproduction above 100 percent and up to 110 percent of capacity, extensive subcontracting work is used and the unit variable costs of these additional units are 50 percent above those at output levels up to 80 percent of capacity. At 80 percent…
