a) the output of the paper mills to increase.
b) the price of paper from the mills to decrease.
c) production of the hydroelectric power plants to decrease.
d) production in the paper mills to decrease.

Health-Tech Materials is a firm that manufactures medical equipment purchased by hospitals and clinics. The firm employs over 2,500 workers in its two manufacturing facilities located in Texas and Arizona. Recently, Health-Tech dismissed a number of employees for ethics violations ranging from improper Internet usage to stealing company funds. In addition, the firm has been sued by two former employees for wrongful discharge. As a result, Health-Tech's top executives are evaluating the firm's hiring process, ethics training system, reward system, and disciplinary system to determine how to promote ethics and fair treatment.
Health-Tech's HR department has devised a brief ethics test for employees to use when determining if their actions match Health-Tech's code of conduct. Which of the following questions is LEAST likely to be included on the ethics test?
A) What Health-Tech employees will be affected by my actions?
B) Will my actions reflect negatively on the image of Health-Tech?
C) Would I perform this action if I worked for a Health-Tech competitor?
D) Is the action I am about to perform on behalf of Health-Tech a legal one?

B) only choose the desired output, while a competitive firm can control only price. C) only choose the desired price, while a competitive firm can control only output. D) control the desired price and output to maximize profits, but a perfectly competitive firm can only choose the desired output.
Answer:
D) control the desired price and output to maximize profits, but a perfectly competitive firm can only choose the desired output.

Firms competing in perfectly competitive markets are price takers, meaning that they cannot set the price of their products or services, but monopolists can actually set the price of their products or services because their market power is high enough to do so. Also, a monopolist can choose to lower or increase its output depending on the resulting profits.
This excessive market power is the reason why natural monopolies are usually regulated by the governments and many monopolistic firms are forced to split into smaller firms that compete against each other.

How much must be deposited at the beginning of each year to accumulate to $10,000 in four years if interest is at 9%
Answer:
Annual deposit= $2,186.69
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $10,000
Number of peridos= 4 years
Interest rate= 9% compounded annually
To calculate the annual deposit required, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (10,000*0.09) / [(1.09^4) - 1]
A= $2,186.69
