Jobs, inc. has recently started the manufacture of tri-robo, a three-wheeled robot that can scan a home for fires and gas leaks and then transmit this information to a smartphone. the cost structure to manufacture 20,800 tri-robos is as follows. cost direct materials ($50 per robot) $1,040,000 direct labor ($40 per robot) 832,000 variable overhead ($6 per robot) 124,800 allocated fixed overhead ($29 per robot) 600,000 total $2,596,800. jobs is approached by tienh inc., which offers to make tri-robo for $104 per unit or $2,084,160.using incremental analysis, determine whether jobs should accept this offer under each of the following independent assumptions. assume that $260,520 of the fixed overhead cost can be reduced (avoided). based on the above assumptions, indicate whether the offer should be accepted or rejected?

Suppose the marginal damage and marginal benefit curves in a polluted neighborhood are md = p/3 and mb = 4 – p. also, suppose that transactions costs are low, so that the consumers and the firm can bargain. we saw that in this case, the socially-optimal level of pollution is achieved. start by computing the socially-optimal p. then, for each of the following cases, compute the amount of money transferred through the bargaining process, and indicate who pays whom (i.e., whether consumers pay the firm, or vice versa). also, compute the gains to each party relative to the status quo (i.e., the starting point of the bargaining process).a)consumers have the right to clean air; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.b)consumers have the right to clean air; consumers are dominant in the bargaining process.c)firm has the right to pollute; firm is dominant in the bargaining process.d)firm has the right to pollute; consumers are dominant in the bargaining proces
