An example of a monopoly is a utility company
It is only the drug company that is permitted to sell the drug. So, it is the only firm in the industry. Also, it is the only firm that offers experimental AIDS drug, so its product is unique.
An Oligopoly is when there are few large firms operating in an industry. In the cab industry, it is a duopoly that exists. This is a type of oligopoly where there are only two firms in the industry. Consumers do not care about the cabs they enter or the different services offered by the companies, so, the product is identical
Answer:
$0.70 and 3.3
Explanation:
Data provided in the question
Household spending for each additional dollar = $0.70
And, the remaining amount = $0.30
So in the given case,
The marginal propensity to consume (MPC) = household spending for each additional dollar i.e $0.70
And, the Spending multiplier is
= 1 ÷ 1 - MPC
= 1 ÷ 1 - $0.70
= 1 ÷ $0.30
= 3.3
Answer:
Small-scale and flexible; Large-scale and inflexible.
Explanation:
Job shops tend to be <u>small scale and flexible</u> while continuous processes tend to be <u>large scale and inflexible</u>.
Job Shop: It is defined as small manufacturing units that produce a specific and customized product in small batches. Most of the products produced in this process have a unique set up. The estimation of costs is generally most difficult when the Job shop process has been chosen.
Continous processes: It is a streamlined process that has a production flow of products from one step to another without any interruption. A larger quantity is produced at one time, not in batches. It requires sophisticated control system.
Answer: If the material is reworked and sold, Hodge Inc. has a financial disadvantage of (- 4500).
Let's see why:
1) If we sell the material at its disposal value: We have a cost of $ 74600 and the income from sale would be $ 57400 =
57400 - 74600 = (-17200). We have a loss of $17200.
2) If we rework the material we will have an original cost of $ 74600, an additional cost for reworking of $ 1500 and the income from its sale would be $ 54400 =
54400 - (74600 + 1500) = (-21700) We have a loss of $ 21700.
Then comparing the 2 situations =
(-21700) - (-17200) = -4500. There is a financial disadvantage of $4,500 if the material is reworked instead of selling it as scrap.
