For years, many U. S. corporations made cameras. Today; however, most cameras sold in the United States are imported from Japan and few are manufactured in the United States. Which trade theory does this demonstrate?

Suppose general motors demands labor according to the labor demand function 푤푤= 40−0. 5퐸퐸, where 푤푤 is the hourly wage and 퐸퐸 is the number of employees. the united auto workers union has a utility function given by 푈푈=푊푊∗퐸퐸. a.in 1984, the united auto workers union started negotiations with general motors by assuming that they were a monopoly union. find the wage and employment demands that the united auto workers union would have demanded before any bargaining began. b.if general motors and the united auto workers union both had excellent bargaining representatives, would this be the final labor contract? if not, then explain in words and graphically where they would end up after the bargaining process.

During the year, the delph company had no beginning or ending inventories and it started, completed, and sold only two jobs—job d-75 and job c-100. it provided the following information related to those two jobs: job d-75: molding fabrication total direct materials cost $ 375,000 $ 325,000 $ 700,000 direct labor cost $ 200,000 $ 160,000 $ 360,000 machine-hours 15,000 5,000 20,000 job c-100: molding fabrication total direct materials cost $ 300,000 $ 250,000 $ 550,000 direct labor cost $ 175,000 $ 225,000 $ 400,000 machine-hours 5,000 25,000 30,000delph had no overapplied or underapplied manufacturing overhead during the year. assume delph uses a plantwide overhead rate based on machine-hours.1-a. compute the predetermined plantwide overhead rate.1-b. compute the total manufacturing costs assigned to job d-70 and job c-200.1-c. if delph establishes bid prices that are 150% of total manufacturing costs, what bid price would it have established for job d-70 and job c-200? 1-d. what is delph's cost of goods sold for the year? assume delph uses departmental overhead rates based on machine-hours.2-a. compute the predetermined departmental overhead rates.2-b. compute the total manufacturing costs assigned to job d-70 and job c-200.2-c. if delph establishes bid prices that are 150% of total manufacturing costs, what bid price would it have established for job d-70 and job c-200? 2-d. what is delph's cost of goods sold for the year?

You are the manager of a large crude-oil refinery. as part of the refining process, a certain heat exchanger (operated at high temperatures and with abrasive material flowing through it) must be replaced every year. the replacement and downtime cost in the first year is $165 comma 000. this cost is expected to increase due to inflation at a rate of 7% per year for six years (i.e. until the eoy 7), at which time this particular heat exchanger will no longer be needed. if the company's cost of capital is 15% per year, how much could you afford to spend for a higher quality heat exchanger so that these annual replacement and downtime costs could be eliminated?
