In this tactic the person that is needed to make participation is first put in good mood before the making of a request, this could be through been friendly or being helpful to him or her.
What is the difference between a production function and an isoquant? A. A production function describes the minimum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies the different types of inputs that can be used to produce various levels of output. B. A production function describes the minimum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies all of the different combinations of inputs that can be used to produce one particular level of output. C. A production function describes the maximum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies the different types of inputs that can be used to produce various levels of output. D. A production function describes the maximum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies all of the different combinations of inputs that can be used to produce one particular level of output.
Answer:
Option d: Production function describes the maximum output that can be achieved with any given combination of inputs. An isoquant identifies all of the different combinations of inputs that can be used to produce one particular level of output.
Explanation:
Factors of Production
They includes Inputs in the production process (labor, capital, materials)
Production Function
This simply is that function that is displaying or showing highest output firm can produce. It depicts what technically feasible is and when firm operates efficiently.
Isoquant
This is simply refered to as a curve tbat depicts or shows all possible efficient combinations of input that are very able to produce a certain quantity of output. It usually a downward sloping and convex and it can never slope upward. This shows also that adding more inputs keeps output constant.
Isoquant Map
This is simply a graph showing a combination of a number of isoquants, used to describe a production function.
What is the intent of a Pigouvian​ tax? A. To encourage producers of a negative externality to increase production to the socially optimal level. B. To eliminate the force of the invisible hand in market transactions. C. To mandate by government fiat the reduction of production to the socially optimal level. D. To induce producers of a negative externality to reduce production to the socially optimal level.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A good has negative externality if the costs to third parties not involved in production is greater than the benefits. an example of an activity that generates negative externality is pollution. Pollution can be generated at little or no cost, so they are usually overproduced. Government can discourage the production of activities that generate negative externality by taxation. Taxation increases the cost of production and therefore discourages overproduction. Tax levied on externality is known as Pigouvian tax.
Government can regulate the amount of externality produced by placing an upper limit on the amount of negative externality permissible
Coase theorem has been proposed as a solution to externality. According to this theory, when there are conflicting property rights, bargaining between parties involved can lead to an efficient outcome only if the bargaining cost is low
Another solution to negative externality is through the activities of charities. Charities can raise donations to limit or regulate the activities of firms that constitutes a negative externality.
Explain the tradeoffs involved in setting an ideal level of inventory for a particular product. What are the costs if too much is maintained? What are the costs if too little is maintained?

A tile manufacturer has supplied the following data: Boxes of tiles produced and sold 520,000 Sales revenue $ 2,132,000 Variable manufacturing expense $ 650,000 Fixed manufacturing expense $ 464,000 Variable selling and administrative expense $ 260,000 Fixed selling and administrative expense $ 312,000 Net operating income $ 446,000 What is the company's unit contribution margin
Answer:
unitary contribution margin= $2.52
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the total variable cost:
Total variable cost= Variable manufacturing expense + Variable selling and administrative expense
Total variable cost= 560,000 + 260,000
Total variable cost= $820,000
Now, the unitary variable cost and the selling price:
unitary variable cost= 820,000 / 520,000= $1.58
Selling price= 2,132,000 / 520,000= $4.1
Finally, the unitary contribution margin:
unitary contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
unitary contribution margin= 4.1 - 1.58
unitary contribution margin= $2.52

The government passes a law that allows a substantial subsidy for every acre of land used to grow tobacco. How does this program affect the long-run supply curve for tobacco? The long-run supply curve for tobacco will A. shift to the right because the price of tobacco will increase. B. shift down because . C. shift because tobacco production will become profitable. D. not change because the minimum long-run average cost of production will not change. E. become instead of horizontal because the costs of inputs will change.
Answer: C. shift right/ out because tobacco production will become profitable.
Explanation:
Subsidies reduce the cost of using something because the government would sponsor it. The cost of farming tobacco will therefore reduce in this instance. Tobacco companies will therefore incur less cost to acquire tobacco and so will start making more profit.
This will encourage other firms to come into the tobacco market as time goes on. As more firms enter, there will be a larger supply of tobacco. The supply curve will then shift right to depict this.
patron at a resort ranch took part in a supervised horseback trail ride. Prior to the ride, the patron executed a valid release that enumerated the inherent risks of horseback riding and, by its terms, relieved the resort from liability from any loss, damage, or injury to the guest's person or property suffered during the ride attributable to the negligence of the ranch or its employees. The patron was injured by a fall from the horse. The horse reared in response to negligent behavior of another rider. The patron filed suit against the ranch and the other rider for damages resulting from his injuries that totaled $400,000. At trial, it was determined that the ranch was 75 percent at fault for the patron's injuries due to its selection and training of the horse and that the other rider was 25 percent at fault. The applicable jurisdiction recognizes the validity of such releases and has enacted both a modified comparative negligence statute and pure several liability statute. How much can the patron recover from the other rider
Answer:
Nothing.
Explanation:
In normally, the parties to the contract could disclaim the liability for the negligence. The exculpatory provision in a contract means there should be recovery with respect to the harms that occurs from the party negligence that are protected by the contract.
This should be applied even in the case when the state has adopted the comparative negligence statute
So nothing should be recovered
On January 1, 2013, Warfield Co. purchased a $600,000 machine, with a five-year useful life and no salvage value. The machine was depreciated by an accelerated method for book and tax purposes. The machine's carrying amount was $240,000 on December 31, 2014. On January 1, 2015, Warfield changed the depreciation method prospectively to the straight-line method for financial-statement purposes. Warfield can justify the change. Warfield's income tax rate is 30%. On December 31, 2015, what amount should Warfield report as deferred income tax
Answer:
$0
Explanation:
In the case when the depreciation method is changed so it should be treated propectively. The past year depreciation amount remains the same. So the starting year of change having no difference should be produced but the beginning to the closing year of change the deferred tax liability should be recorded the difference occured in the future that lies between the book and tax depreciation
So, it should be zero

The monetary unit assumption requires that companies record only transactions that can be measured in money.
Answer:
1. False
2. False
3. False
4. True
5. True
Explanation:
1. False: Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to ensure that investors invest only in companies that will be profitable.
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a legal framework which was passed by the 107th U.S Congress on the 30th of July, 2002. The law required that investment banking be completely made rid of research analysts who works at a broker-dealer firms, so that the analysts are not influenced to write favorable reports to enhance their potential investment banking businesses.
Hence, it is a federal law that imposes a stiffer penalty for any securities related law break offence by the accountants, auditors etc by mandating strict reforms to the existing securities regulations.
2. False: The standards of conduct by which actions are judged as loyal or disloyal are ethics.
Ethics can be defined as a standard of conduct that judges a person's action as either right or wrong.
Hence, it's a set of both written and unwritten principles, values or rules of moral conduct that guides (governs) human behaviors. Ethics is a reflection that is typically based on identifying what is good or bad, right or wrong and just or unjust with respect to human behaviors.
3. False: The primary accounting standard-setting body in the United States is the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In the United States of America, the financial accounting standards board (FASB) is the primary accounting standard-setting body.
The financial accounting standards board (FASB) is a private, non-profit organization saddled with the responsibility of establishing and maintaining financial accounting and reporting standards for general guidance of individuals or capital providers such as investors, issuers and auditors.
4. True: The historical cost principle dictates that companies record assets at their cost and continue to report them at their cost over the time the assets are held.
5. True: The monetary unit assumption requires that companies record only transactions that can be measured in money.
The unemployment rate may underestimate the true extent of unemployment if: Question 26 options: many part-time employees would like to work fulltime, but are unable to get the additional work. employees increase the number of hours they work overtime. there are a large number of people working in the underground economy. people are pretending to look for work so that they can continue receiving unemployment benefits.
Answer:
there are a large number of people working in the underground economy.
Explanation:
The unemployment rate is the rate of people in the labour force that is without a job but they are actively looking for employment
Types of unemployment
structural unemployment is an unemployment that occurs as a result of changes in the economy. These changes can be as a result of changes in technology, polices or competition. Structural unemployment tends to be permanent.
Frictional unemployment: the period of time a person is unemployed from the period he leaves his current job and the time he gets another job. Eg. when a real estate agent who leaves a job in Texas and searches for a similar, higher-paying job in California.
Voluntary unemployment: e.g. worker at a fast-food restaurant who quits work and attends college.
Cyclical unemployment: it occurs as a result of fluctuations in the economy. Unemployment would be high in a downturn and low in a boom
If a large number of people are working underground, they would not be counted as part of the labour force and so the labour force would be smaller. This understates unemployment rate
McDonnell-Myer Corporation reported net income of $741 million. The company had 544 million common shares outstanding at January 1 and sold 36 million shares on February 28. As part of an annual share repurchase plan, 6 million shares were retired on April 30 for $47 per share. Calculate McDonnell-Myer's earnings per share for the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
the earning per share is $1.43 per share
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
= Net income ÷ weighted no of shares
= $741 million ÷ (544 million shares - 36 million × 10 ÷ 12 + 6 million × 8 ÷ 12)
= $741 million ÷ (544 - 30 + 4)
= $1.43 per share
Hence, the earning per share is $1.43 per share
The same should be considered and relevant
The aggregate demand curve A. differs from individual demand curves in that the aggregate demand curve looks at the entire circular flow of income and product while the individual demand curve looks at only one good. B. is like individual demand curves in that prices of other goods are held constant. C. differs from individual demand curves in that the aggregate demand curve is not downward sloping. D. is like individual demand curves in that income is constant.
Answer:
A. differs from individual demand curves in that the aggregate demand curve looks at the entire circular flow of income and product while the individual demand curve looks at only one good.
Explanation:
An aggregate demand curve is a graphical representation which represents the relationship between the total quantity of the output demanded which is measured as the real GDP and its price level which is measured as an implicit price deflator.
The aggregate demand curve looks at both the circular flow of the income as well as the product whereas the individual demand curve is responsible for only one, keeping the other constant.
Hence, the correct option is option (A).
Many organizations will apply for temporary permits that allow which of the following activities?
Sell alcohol to members in a private club.
Promote and enhance the sale of an alcoholic beverage on behalf of a brewer or winery.
. Offer in-store wine and beer samples.
• •
Sell alcohol at locations where beverages are not usually sold for on-premise consumption.
The correct answer is "Sell alcohol at locations where beverages are not usually sold for on-premise consumption."
Many organizations will apply for temporary permits that allow selling alcohol at locations where beverages are not usually sold for on-premise consumption.
This usually happens when the organization is having a special event in the company, a celebration, or any activity in which they are gathering many people. As part of their activities and options to entertain the guests, this company wants to sell alcoholic beverages because it is a good way to get some money.
So this could be special celebrations, tournaments, sports contests, festivals, expos & fairs, and some other event of a certain magnitude.
Suppose that the market for haircuts in a community is a perfectly competitive constant-cost industry and that the market is initially in long-run equilibrium. Subsequently, an increase in population increases the demand for haircuts. In the long run, we expect that: Question 7 options: a) firms will leave the market, driving the price of haircuts up and the profits of individual firms up. b) more firms will enter the market, driving the price of haircuts up and the profits of individual firms back down to zero. c) firms will leave the market, driving the price of haircuts up and the profits of individual firms back down to zero. d) more firms will enter the market, driving the price of haircuts down and the profits of individual firms back down to zero.
Answer:
d) more firms will enter the market, driving the price of haircuts down and the profits of individual firms back down to zero.
Explanation:
In the case when the demand is increased, the price of haircuts would also increased and due to this the firm could earn positive economic profit. And for earning the economic profit in a positive way, the no of firm should be rised that increased the supply so automatically the prices are decreasing
Therefore the above option should be the answer

Answer:
debit Work in Process Inventory and credit Raw Materials Inventory
Explanation:
Inventory is an asset and a debit to an asset is an increase in that asset while a credit to an asset is a decrease in the value of the asset.
Direct material is an example of a raw material and as such when used in processing, the account balance reduces while work in progress which is the next product in the processing of raw materials increases.
Hence going by the principles stated earlier, the journal entry to record the use of direct materials in process costing is to debit Work in Process Inventory and credit Raw Materials Inventory.
Suppose that labor is the only variable input to the production process. If the marginal cost of production is diminishing as more units of output are produced, what can you say about the marginal product of labor? If the marginal cost of production is diminishing as more units of output are produced, then the marginal product of labor
Answer:
Marginal product will increase.
Explanation:
Since the labor is only variable input and the marginal cost of production is diminishing that means the cost of producing additional unit is lower. So marginal product of labor will be increasing.
Moreover, MC = w /MPL
Thus, diminishing marginal cost will exhibit increasing marginal product of labor.
Diving Fiasco. Mike, who owns a dive shop in the United States, decides to take a group of his customers diving in U.S. waters. Mike is aware that sharks occasionally visit the area where the divers will be visiting. He is also aware that, while stingrays are usually tame, they can become aggressive when fed. Mike does not reveal that information to the group of divers going with him. The divers go down into the water, and some have squid with which to feed the stingrays. During the dive, one of the stingrays becomes agitated and latches onto diver Susie's arm. Susie is so disconcerted that she drops her regulator (her breathing device) from her mouth and is in considerable difficulty. Another diver, Billy, encounters a shark, which snaps at him. While the shark does not actually bite Billy, the attack results in damage to his diving equipment. Mike, who is in charge of the dive, does nothing to help and leaves the other divers to return to the boat because the dive turned out to be more trouble than expected. Wendy, another diver on the trip, also returns to the boat without doing anything to help the divers in distress. Sam, on the other hand, goes to rescue the divers who are in distress. He manages to do so but in the process he pulls his back and requires medical care. All divers are very unhappy with Mike. Which of the following is true regarding whether Wendy and Sam had a duty to come to the assistance of the divers in peril?
A. Neither Wendy nor Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril.
B. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril, but only if Mike refused to do so.
C. Wendy and Sam did not have a duty to aid the divers in peril, unless they were the first to observe the problem. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril, but only if they were acquainted with them before the dive.
D. Wendy and Sam had no duty to help strangers. Wendy and Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril if personal safety was involved, but not O if the only issue was damage to property
Answer: A. Neither Wendy nor Sam had a duty to aid the divers in peril.
Explanation:
Sam and Wendy were simply customers of Mike in this scenario and so could not be reasonable expected to take over his duties to oversee the dive which he initiated and was aware of the risks of.
They therefore did not have a duty to aid the other divers especially given the fact that they did not know the risks involved in diving in that particular area. The only person who had an actual duty to rescue the divers is the company or person that took the people on the dive which in this case was Mike.
