Answer: C) Continuously improve their products at home.
Explanation:
Protectionism policies like tariffs and import quotas have the effect of reducing free trade which erodes consumer welfare as well as hurting trade so should be avoided if better options exist.
One of those is for a company to increase its market base instead of relying on protection from the government. If they can expand into foreign market, they will have a larger market in which to trade their goods and increase profitability.
Another way is to improve their products at home. Better products would attract more customers to their products and increase profitability.
Question Completion:
Epsilon Co. can produce a unit of product for the following:
Direct material $8
Direct labor 24
Overhead 40
Total costs per unit $72
Answer:
Epsilon Co.
Epsilon should choose to:
Make since the relevant cost to make it is $56.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Direct material $8
Direct labor 24
Overhead 40
Total costs per unit $72
Relevant Costs:
Make Buy
Direct material $8
Direct labor 24
Overhead 24
Total costs per unit $56 $60
b) It costs Epsilon less to make the units than to buy from the outside supplier. The relevant cost excludes the 40% of the overhead that will still be incurred by Epsilon if it buys from the supplier. Relevantly, it costs Epsilon $56 per unit to make when compared to the unit cost of $60 to buy. In absolute terms, it will cost Epsilon $76 ($60 + $16) to buy as against $72 to make a unit of the part.
Remember that a perfectly elastic demand is a demand where any price increase would cause the quantity demanded to fall to zero, and reducing the price of a good or service will not increase sales.
Also, equilibrium price is the market price where the quantity of goods supplied is equal to the quantity of goods demanded. This is the point at which the demand and supply curves in the market intersect.
Finally, equilibrium quantity is when supply equals demand for a product.
Therefore, the answer to this question is:
Price is unchanged and quantity is unchanged
Answer:
Price:
b. unchanged
Quantity:
b. unchanged
Answer:
-$15.347
Explanation:
Calculation for What is this bank's net noninterest income
Using this formula
Net noninterest income=Total noninterest income+(Total noninterest expenses+Loan losses)
Let plug in the formula
Net noninterest income=$10.077-($23.858+$1.566,)
Net noninterest income=$10.077-$25.424
Net noninterest income=-$15.347
Therefore the bank's net noninterest income will be -$15.347
