Answer:
The correct answer is The owners themselves.
Explanation:
The Coase Theorem points out that if property rights are well defined and transaction costs are zero, the negotiation between the parties will lead us to an optimal point of allocation in the market.
According to Coase's theorem, when the parties can negotiate freely and without major costs, it does not really matter which part initially has the right of ownership since in the end it will remain in the hands of those who value it most. The final result of the negotiation will lead us to an optimal allocation of resources.
Property rights indicate who owns or has permission to do something.
Answer:
Order size = 50 cars
The number of orders=25
Explanation:
<em>The Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) is the order size that minimizes the balance of ordering cost and holding cost. At the EOQ, the carrying cost is equal to the holding cost. </em>
It is computed using the formulae below
EOQ = √ (2× Co× D)/Ch
Co- Ordering cost, Ch- Carrying cost - D- Annual demand
EOQ= √2× 1000× 1250/1000= 50
Number of cars to be ordered per time, i.e optimal order size= 50 cars
Order size = 50 cars
b)
The number of times orders should be placed per year would be calculated as follows:
The number of orders = Annual demand/ order size
The number of orders= 1250/50 = 25
The number of orders=25
