You are economic consultant for Jack, who farms raw cotton in a perfectly competitive market. One day he gives you the following

data at his present level of production: Output = 2000 pounds, market price = $5.00, total cost =$8000, fixed cost=$2000, marginal cost=$5. The minimum of AVC occurs at {1000 pounds at $2} and the minimum of ATC at {1500 pounds at $3.5}. Please help Jack with the following questions based on the above figures: a. Draw a graph for the raw cotton market and a graph for Jack’s farm current situation that includes MC, ATC, and AVC, labeling all relevant points on axes with numerical values. Is Jack maximizing the profit (minimizing the loss)? Why or why not? Label the total profit/loss area.
b. Suppose more farmers enter the raw cotton market until the market price is $3.00 per pound. On the same graphs, show the effect of this change in the market place. Would you like to suggest Jack leaving the market in the short run? Explain your answer.

Some major technology companies have faced scrutiny in the past when it comes to labor and human rights on the overseas supplier
Serjik [45]

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

With overseas factories that continue to move to new locations with a lower labour costs, the monitoring and controlling working conditions becomes a challenge. Research has shown that companies do little to monitor human rights violations in the low-cost supply chain locations.

A scandal involving Apple was reported in 2014 at a manufacturing building in China. The building which was owned by Catcher Technology Co., manufactures metal iPad covers for iPhones. Some findings included hiring discrimination, locked safety exits, excessive work hours, and also unpaid overtime each month totalling about $290,000 in owed wages. The factory was reported to have been dumping its industrial fluids and waste into nearby rivers, and also not providing proper toxic equipment for the employees.

Human rights of these people saw n those area are being abused by having them exposed to pollution, which can lead to lung diseases.

Companies like Apple have said that they are continuing to monitor situations like this, and are fixing them, but we still hear cases of more wrongdoings, therefore you have to wonder how vital these issues truly are to the firms involved.

$56,000

Explanation:

Given the above information, we will calculate first the total cash flow.
