- The Toys-R-4-U Company has developed two new toys for possible inclusion in its productline for the upcoming Christmas season. Setting up the production facilities to beginproduction would cost $50,000 for toy 1 and $80,000 for toy 2. Once these costs arecovered, the toys would generate a unit profit of $10 for toy 1 and $15 for toy 2. Thecompany has two factories that are capable of producing these toys. However, to avoiddoubling the start-up costs, just one factory would be used, where the choice would bebased on maximizing profit. For administrative reasons, the same factory would be usedfor both new toys if both are produced. Toy 1 can be produced at the rate of 50 per hourin factory 1 and 40 per hour in factory 2. Toy 2 can be produced at the rate of 40 perhour in factory 1 and 25 per hour in factory 2. Factories 1 and 2, respectively, have500 hours and 700 hours of production time available before Christmas that could beused to produce these toys. It is not known whether these…Required information The Childfair Company has three plants producing child push chairs that are to be shipped to four distribution centers.

Some people were concerned, however, that increased home prices could lead to higher rent for people who rented apartments in Brooklyn. Which of the following statements are true? O Allowing Amazon to locate its second headquarters in Brooklyn is a Pareto improvement (i.e., makes one or more persons better off without making anyone worse off) even if some renters will have to pay higher rent. O Allowing Amazon to locate its second headquarters in Brooklyn would not be Kaldor-Hicks efficient if some renters will have to pay higher rent. O Allowing Amazon to locate its second headquarters in Brooklyn is a Kaldor-Hicks improvement if the gain in jobs and tax revenue more than offsets any losses experienced by renters. O…
