A company is interested in developing a quarterly aggregate production plan but they are not sure if a level strategy with backorders or a chase strategy would be better. They have the following information available regarding their production operation Hiring Cost (per unit increase) $40 Firing (per unit decrease) $80 Inventory Cost (per unit) $40 $150 Stockout (per unit) Production (Labor) cost (per unit) Subcontracting cost (per unit) $30 $60 Previous quarter's production 1300 Previous quarter's ending inventory 0 Quarter forecasts are 4000, 2000, 4000 and 5000, respectively. Suppose that you want to use a chase plan. What is firing cost of quarter 2? (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole number.)

4. understanding different policy options to correct for negative externalities carbon dioxide emissions have been linked to global warming. the following table lists some possible public policies aimed at reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the air. for each policy listed, identify whether it is a command-and-control policy (regulation), tradable permit system, corrective subsidy, or corrective tax. public policy command-and-control policy tradable permit system corrective subsidy corrective tax the government charges factories $110 for every ton of carbon dioxide they emit. the government orders every factory to adopt a new technology, which reduces carbon-dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. trees take carbon dioxide out of the air and convert it to oxygen, so the government funds a tree-planting initiative by offering $110 to any citizen who plants a tree. the government limits total carbon-dioxide emissions by all factories to 180,000 tons per month. each individual factory is given the right to emit 140 tons of carbon dioxide, and factories may buy and sell these rights in a marketplace.
