Rho Merchandising supplies T-shirts to AK Mart. Currently, Rho orders T-shirts from varioussuppliers. One of the T-shirts is ordered in batches of 150 units. It has been estimated that an annualdemand for T-shirts is 25,000 pieces. Furthermore, carrying cost is estimated to be P10 per T-shirt peryear. For the other policy to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $34 per doll. During the holiday
selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $42 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of
60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before
finalizing the decision.

The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $29 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $37 each.

Last winter a 100-year flood caused extensive damage both to the dam and to the surrounding area. This was not surprising, since the dam was designed for a 50-year flood. The cost to repair the dam now will be $250,000. Damage in the valley below amounts to $750,000. If the spillway is redesigned at a cost of $250,000 and the dam is repaired for another $250,000, the dam may be expected to withstand a 100-year flood without sustaining damage. However, the storage capacity of the dam will not be increased and the probability of damage to the surrounding area below the dam will be unchanged. A second dam can be constructed up the river from the existing dam for $1 million. The capacity of the second dam would be more than adequate to provide the desired flood protection. If the second dam is built, redesign of the existing dam spillway will not be necessary, but…arrow_forward
- PNG’s managers estimate that a 50% increase in price would cause an 80% reduction in the quantity of product sold. Total fixed costs for the product are $5000 and total variable costs are $4000, based on production of 400 units. The following values may be useful. 1n (0.2) = –1.609 1n (1.5) = 0.405 1n (0.5) = –0.693 1n (4000) = 8.294 1n (0.8) = –0.223 1n (5000) = 8.517 What is PNG’s price elasticity of demand? –0.252 +0.322 –3.973 +3.108arrow_forwardThe state government has passed a regulation requiring that individual sources install filters to capture emissions of inhalable particles. The regulation will require the that installation of the filters start within the upcoming year. The rule is expected to provide improved respiratory health outcomes for the state's citizens. The benefits and costs (shown in the table below) of the rule will be reckoned at the end of each of the next 12 years. The government has analyzed the costs and benefits of the regulation at an annual discount rate of 3%.

Sandra has a dog that she walks every day. Sandra has to walk past Mary's front lawn and her dog always pees on Mary's flowers, which causes them to eventually die. Mary will move in a few months but, until then, she estimates she will spend $100 on flowers to replace the ones that die as a result of the daily visits from Sandra's dog. The only solution to this problem is a $50 fence that can be put around Mary's flowers that will protect them from Sandra's dog. a. What term do economists use for the consequences of Sandra's daily walks in this setting? b. Is it socially optimal to have the fence put around the flowers in this case? Why or why not? c. What does the Coase theorem say about how the social optimum could be achieved? Explain what an agreement between Sandra and Mary would look like if Mary has the right to not be bothered by her neighbour's dog.arrow_forward
