a)
Answer to Problem 1RQ
If the stock remained unsold longer or if fisher considered it critical to his stock unnecessary, he would know that his prices were too high.
Explanation of Solution
The minimum inventory that should be available is the critical inventory. To operate an enterprise effectively is crucial to know this number, as inventory costs must be kept as low as possible and all sales are achieved. It is seen that too much is transported and excess stocks will eat the profits. Too little carry and one can't keep the sales up.Fisher would know that his prices were too high if his stock remained unsold longer or if he considered it critical to his stock unnecessary.

Critical stock: The display of critical stocks in interim storage areas enables you, within an acceptable period of time, to find movement of goods not fully processed. Every stock remaining for a long period in interim storage areas shall be considered critical.

- The reaping, processing and sale of sugarcane is a booming sector. However, the late 1990s and early 2000s saw a crisis for sugarcane producers. During this period, the quantity supplied of sugarcane outweighed quantity demanded and the market was in turmoil. Over time the price of sugarcane recovered after 2014, peaking in July 2018. In part, this was due to farmers diversifying into other crops; in part, it was due to buoyant global demand for alternate products. In 2019, however, a combination of good harvests and a fall in fertilizer sugarcane prices caused supply to increase substantially. Although demand was still growing in developing countries, the onset of recession in developed countries was halting the growth in demand. Illustrate and explain (i) how the sugar cane market changed during the period 2014 – 2018 and (ii) what would be required to maintain the original equilibrium price.arrow_forwardThe widget market is competitive and includes no transaction costs. Five suppliers are willing to sell one widget at the following prices: $22, $12, $8, $4, and $2 (one seller at each price). Five buyers are willing to buy one widget at the following prices: $8, $12, $22, $30, and $38 (one buyer at each price). In this market, the equilibrium price will be per widget, and the equilibrium quantity will be ? widgets.arrow_forwardASAP!! Mr. Kamran Ali is building houses in Karachi. He has analyzed the market carefully, and he knows that at a price of Rs.12,000,000. (Rs.12 million) he will sell 8 houses per year. In addition, he knows that at any price above Rs.12,000,000. (Rs.12 million), no one will buy his houses because the government provides equal-quality houses to anyone who wants one at Rs.12,000,000. (Rs.12 million). He also knows that for every Rs.2,000,000. (Rs.2 million), he lower his price, he will be able to sell an additional 2 units. For example, at a price of Rs.10,000,000. (Rs.10 million), he can sell 10 houses; at a price of Rs.8,000,000. (Rs.8 million), he can sell 12 houses; and so on. Sketch the demand curve that Mr. Kamrans’ firm faces. Sketch the effective marginal revenue curve that his firm faces. If the marginal cost of building a house is Rs.10,000,000. (Rs.10 million), how many will he build and what price will he charge? What if MC = Rs.8,500,000. (Rs.8.5 million)?arrow_forward
- This is a picture of a farmer's market. A farmer's market is a place where farmers bring their fresh produce to sell to consumers at low prices. Based on the information provided to you, name at least two scarce resources that were probably used to produce the fruits and vegetables shown in the picture. What would happen if one of those resources were no longer available? Choose which resource you want to pretend is no longer available, then provide an example as to how the business would be affected.arrow_forwardThe drug war There is a debate in the US and in Europe as to how to influence the market for drugs such as cocaine. Some argue that the answer is to reduce the supply of drugs from Colombia – which would otherwise eventually find their way onto the world markets – by giving aid to the Colombian government to fight the drug suppliers. If this is successful, it will drive up the price of cocaine on the streets. Higher prices mean that fewer people will be willing and able to buy drugs, resulting in a fall in demand. This scenario can be seen in Figure 1.13(a) where a successful anti-drug policy in Colombia would decrease supply, i.e. shift the supply curve for cocaine upwards and to the left so that there is an excess demand for cocaine at price P. This will result in a rise in the equilibrium price of cocaine from P to P1. The quantity demanded will contract along the demand curve D from Q to Q1 as price rises from P to P1. Critics of these ideas argue that programmes…arrow_forwardStarting a gluten free and nut free restaurant has been a lifelong dream of Sydney Quintero, since he realized his dietary restrictions as a teenager.

FRONT PAGE March Madness Becomes Sadness Ticket prices for the college basketball championships always skyrocket when the 68-team draw is announced. And they jump even further as the Final Four teams emerge. The year 2020 was no different.
