Answer: The correct answer is "c. bounded rationality".
Explanation: Jacob's decision is an example of bounded rationality, because according to the theory of limited rationality, people make decisions only partially in a rational way because of our cognitive, information and time constraints.
Answer:
59% - a)increase - b)decrease
Explanation:
First of all, we should say that the real exchange rate is calculated by multiplying the nominal exchange rate for the price index and then divide it by the price index of the other country. In another language, using this case as the example, the first nominal exchange rate is 50, as you need 50 rupees to buy 1 dollar. So to calculate the real exchange rate you need to multiply 50 by 100 (the price index of USA) and then divide it by 100 (the price index of India). Note that both price indexes are 100, just a coincidence for making easier the question. Result: 50.
Then we calculate the next real exchange rate: multiply 60 (the new nominal exchange rate) by 106 (the new US price index) and divide by 80 (the new India price index). This throws a result of 79,5. We see a 29,5 increase, and 29,5 represents 59% of 50 (the initial real exchange rate).
Then both questions is more common sense than the reading of the results we just calculated. For example, nominal exchange rate changed from 50 to 60, so the people in India will now have to collect 10 more rupees to buy the same dollar. Let's suppose a pair of shoes in USA costs 40 dollars. Before, Indians needed 2000 rupees to buy it. Now they will need 2400 rupees... it will be more expensive. Plus, the prices of USA had gone up 6%, which means the pair of shoes will now cost 42,4 dollars... even more expensive! As products in USA are more expensive, we can expect that India's consumption of American goods will decrease (law of demand).
With the American consumption of Indian goods happens the opposite, the goods in India became cheaper (price index has fallen), and for the Americans, the same dollars they had will buy more rupees when the exchange rate changed to 60.
Answer:
I would fire Gary.
Explanation:
Even if Gary has a better sales record, he seems to be unable to keep good personal relationships, both with coworkers and clients. This in the long-run could become more problematic and lead to a decline in sales record, and also, a decline in other areas.
Brenda, on the other hand, needs to improve her sales record, but she has strong interpersonal skills that give her an advatange. It is easier to teach a person how to sell than how to be a well-mannered person, therefore, in theory, if should not be so difficult to help Brenda reach higher sales.
Answer:
D) selling agent.
Explanation:
Sine Fahad's company never obtains title for the goods that they sell, they are acting like a selling agent. They are very similar to a commission merchant except that Fahad's company is also responsible for the marketing functions of Celextron.
There are several types of sales agents and distributors, it all depends on certain details about how they work:
- a manufacturer's agent work directly for the manufacturing firm, in this case it would have been Celextron.
- a sales branch is a company owned by Celextron.
- a full service wholesaler obtains title of the goods.
