1.Use the table below to answer the following questions. Resource Prices A B C Labor $5 5 4 3 Capital 10 2 3 5 Entrepreneur 20 1 1 1 Assume that a firm finds its profits will be maximized when it produces 50 units of product W (i.e., “widgets”). Three techniques shown in the table above will produce exactly 50 widgets. Which technique is the least expensive way of producing a widget? Suppose the firm chooses the least-cost method of production. If widgets sell for $2 each, what is the total economic profit of the firm?
Hint(s) Check My Work Cox Electric makes electronic components and has estimated the following for a new design of one of its products: Fixed Cost $9,000 == Material cost per unit = $0.15 Labor cost per unit = $0.10 Revenue per unit = $0.65 Production Volume = 12,000 Per-unit material and labor cost together make up the variable cost per unit. Assuming that Cox Electric sells all that it produces, build a spreadsheet model that calculates the profit by subtracting the fixed cost and total variable cost from total revenue, and answer the following questions. (a) Construct a one-way data table with production volume as the column input and profit as the output. Breakeven occurs when profit goes from a negative to a positive value; that is, breakeven is when total revenue = total cost, yielding a profit of zero. Vary production volume from 5,000 to 50,000 in increments of 5,000. In which interval of production volume does breakeven occur? to units (b) Use Goal Seek to find the exact…
Cairo Consulting wants to determine whether reselling process consulting services provided by third parties would reduce the costs of this type of consulting. Switch to the Process Providers worksheet, and then run Solver to solve this problem as follows: a. Set the objective as minimizing the value in cell E10 (Total Costs). b. Use the range B4:D4 as the changing variable cells. Adjust the hours provided by each company using the following constraints: E4=5500, the total hours of process consulting signed E10 is less than or equal to 1350000, the maximum third-party fees B4:D4 is less than or equal to 5000, the maximum hours provided by a single third-party provider B4:D4 should be an Integer Run Solver, keep the solution, and then return to the Solver Parameters dialog box.
