Chapter 11 Read the chapter and do questions 4 and 8 for Chapter 11 on pages 194 and 195 4.) a. In the usual firm, when resource supply increases, workers per day increases as well. Assuming that the increased supply is due to increased demand, any increase in demand for the product will equal an increase in labor for the firm. Marginal Resource cost increases quantitatively for each firm, and is determined by resource supply. For example, most people like working 8 hour shifts, so if you have 16 hours of work, you would hire two employees. Now let’s say that the demand for your product increases, raising the number of hours of labor you need to 20 hours, which is an additional 4 hours. Now you either have to split up the extra hours among …show more content…
In what sense is the demand for labor a derived demand? The only way to have a demand for labor, is if there is work to be done. Which means that the demand of labor is derived from the initial demand of the product. If there is no work, there is no need for workers, and vise-a-versa. 8.) a.) Demand for pizza increases> demand for employees increases. There are more pizzas to be made and transported. b.) Pizza place opens next door> Demand for pizza decreases> demand for employees decreases. There are less pizzas to be made and delivered by the original store, because the second store fills some of the original demand. c.) An increase in min. wage raises the cost of hiring students>Demand for student employees decreases. The pizza store can only afford to pay a certain amount of employees and still make a profit, the pizza place would be forced to have less employees that are under more pressure to perform at work. d.) The restaurant buys a computer system for taking phone orders> demand for employees would increase because the ease of purchasing pizzas increases, therefore, increasing demand for the product. e.) the restaurant becomes more efficient and advertising increases> increases demand for pizzas> increases demand for

The pizza shop will have a market share of about 55%. This means that the pizza shop will have about 14, 000 customers from the city center and about 8000 customers from the environs of Newburgh.

...e, but in the end it is up to the states and government to increase minimum wage across the U.S. So just think about what would be the best option for our country, and support that choice because the argument for increasing minimum wage has been going on for a long time and will keep going on into the future.
1.2 Sensitivity analysis shows that pizza sale will be largely influenced by penetration rate of Contadina pasta (Exhibit 2).
When different kinds of menu for lunch and dinner are included, there is an opportunity for attraction of more clients in the new outlet
In the graph, it shows the law of demand; as the price increase there is a decrease in the quan...
As we see in the graph, when price increases the amount of workers increases, but the employers decreasing the need for employees at that cost. Again this will cause unemployment issues with number of employees needing a job significantly exceeding the number of jobs demanded by employers. Based upon these fundamental aspects of supply and demand as Bustamante suggests raising the minimum wage will have more negative consequences than positive.
The cafeteria serves about one hundred and fifty residents of Cambridge Hall and approximately one hundred residents from Nottingham Hall. The cafeteria serves hot foods, salads, snacks, sandwiches, and beverages. The data has given me information on the percentage of customers that preferred a hot meal (interactive and precooked) to snacks, the ratio of customers that prefer precooked hot meals over an interactive hot meal, line formation, service times at the different stations, arrival times and the location of the different stations. I also learned that the peak hours of operations are from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and that the cafeteria has two cash registers available but only one is being utilized during the peak hours. If customers decide on a hot meal there is a 2 to 1 ratio that customers will purchase a precooked meal over an interactive meal. Through an informal customer survey, reasonable waiting times were established for the precooked line (5 minutes), the interactive line (10 minutes), and the cashier payment line (1minute).
The first goal is to improve 10% of income. The strategy is connected to a single industry. Sbarro has been lasted for about 60 years. The company had better focus on one industry. Even though it experienced bankruptcy two times, it has a lot of information. First of all, keeping operating the company for a long period is important. I don’t know how the company failed two times, but it is possible to learn from feedback. We lean them and try to prevent or cause minimize bankruptcy. I describe other strategies and those also would be related to the strategy for concentration on a single industry and increasing income. The second goal is increasing the number of customers. The biggest problem is the company don’t develop online and mobile ordering, so the second strategy is Differentiation. We develop online and mobile ordering. This might not be differentiation, because some company have already used. By using them, however, we can prepare the food in advance and increase effectiveness. Also, customers don’t have to wait so much, so many customers come to the store. The third goal is to introduce a system of picking up the toppings. When I went to the pizza store in the U.S., I could choose sources and toppings. I was really impressed, because I can eat only what I like. The strategy is also Differentiation. We prepare many ingredients and seasonal ingredients. Each ingredient has the
There has been exponential rise in the number of eateries in most of the towns worldwide. This is partly brought about by the ballooning urban population, as well as the emergence of working middle class population who find themselves tied up by work in the cities they reside.
According to the diagram below, the supply curve shift from S to S1, which raises price but reduces output. When people purchase goods, not only the product itself need to be considers, but also other products that is related to it. Make instance of tea and teapot. If the price of tea rises or the output of tea decreases, the number of people who drinks tea will lessen. Except the situation of teapot collection, teapots are just accessories of tea. Now that people drink tea less, the sales volume and profits of teapots will decline. Thereby, producers will cut down the output of teapots. As the movement of supply curve a shortage occurs. Since the price rises from P to P1, a new equilibrium will appear. And the quantity will decreases from Q to
When the price of raw material will go up or down, the production coats will rise or fall. Secondly, the price of substitute products also affect the supply curve. Because the relatived products are competitive relationship, when the price of one product goes up, another will goes down. It will affect suppy. Thirdly, production technology will affect the supply curve. When the level of technology is rising or falling , the production costs will go down or up. finally, the government policies will affect the supply curve. Positive policies will make the supply go up, conversely, it will go down. For example, the govenrment limit the amount of cars which people can buy, it will caused the supply curve down. In addition, the price of product in the future and the development of product company will also affect the supply
When a family eats at home they, will pay less than restaurants because when they buy food from the market they buy for better quality and a better price.
