production has engendered the use of ....
tube is being imported and the current c.i.f. price is about Rs. 80. An import duty of 75 percent pushes
up the cost to Rs. 140. Taking damage in transit into account, the price per glass shell comes to Rs.
150. There is a freight element of Rs. 23 in the c.i.f. cost of Rs. 80. Duty is payable on freight and the
element of freight cost plus duty amounts to Rs. 40 out of the total cost of Rs. 150.
1. How long can an industry sustain on protection?
2. What is the impact of incidental services like assembly, testing, marketing, etc. on the total cost?
3. Would you agree to the suggestion for a complete changeover to wooden cabinet?
4. Would it be desirable to import the components rather than make them in India?
....
1) Free trade promotes a mutually profitable regional division of labour, greatly enhances the
potential real national product of all nations and makes possible higher standards of living all
over the globe.”Explain and critically examine the statements.
2) What role does a decision tree play in business decision-making? Illustrate the choice
between two investment projects with help of a decision tree assuming hypothetical
conditions about the states of nature, probability distribution, and corresponding pay-offs.
