Answer:
Yes.
Explanation:
Market rate of exchange of jello for pie:
= Price of a piece of apple pie ÷ Price of jello
= $3.75 ÷ $1.25
= 3.00
At his current consumption point, Nick's marginal rate of substitution (MRS) of jello for pie = 3
Since MRS = Px/Py, hence, at this point of consumption bundle he is having a maximum level of utility.
Therefore, there is no need to change his consumption bundle because he is already at his maximum level.
Answer: Polycentric approach
Explanation:
A polycentric staffing policy is a form of staffing policy whereby the nationals of the host countries will be recruited and employed to helps manage the subsidiaries that are in their own country while the nationals of the parent countries will have to occupy th key positions that are available at th corporate headquarters.
This is the kind of approach that is used by Mexico-based Rodriguez Engineering Corporations in the question.
Answer:
Explanation:
This question puts together two different perspectives based on different goals and metrics: economics and ethics. In economics, self interest is the driving force and productivity is one of the metrics used by managers and shareholders in measuring their profit making. In ethics, doing good for people and creating social value is the goal. The results cannot be measured anymore in units of productivity.
Peter Drucker in his famous book "Management: tasks, responsibilities, practices" says : "To know what a business is we have to start with its purpose. Its purpose must lie outside of the business itself. In fact, it must lie in society since business enterprise is an organ of society. There is only one valid definition of business purpose: to create a customer." That means to create value for society and not to maximize the profit.
I shall add a recent message sent by Richard Branson - the creator of Virgin Group - in his book "Screw business as usual" : Doing good can help improve your prospects, your profits and your business; and it can change the world." But with a condition: in that firm to exist an organizational culture based on positive values and not on profit maximization. In conclusion, ethics may impact positively on performance if and only if there is a managerial philosophy based on ethics and not on profit maximization, and on value creation. In this well-defined context profit and profitability are consequences and not driving forces of the whole business.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
AP = 4.15
SP = 4.0
SQ = 114000 × 2 = 228000
1. Direct Materials Price
= (AQ × AP) - (AQ × SP)
= (246000 × 4.15) - (246000 × 4.0)
= 1020900 - 984000
= 369000 U
2. Direct Materials Quantity
= (AQ × SP) - (SQ × SP)
where SQ = 114000 × 2 = 228000
= (220000 × 4.0) - (228000 × 4.0)
= 880000 - 912000
= 32000 F
3. Direct Labor Price
= (AH × AR) - (AH × SR)
= (58700 × 9.8) - (58700 × 10)
= 575260 - 587000
= 11740
4. Direct Labor Quantity
= (AH × SR) - (SH × SR)
where, SH = 114000 × ½ = 57000
= (58700 × 10) - (57000 × 10)
= 587000 - 570000
= 17000 U
5. Total Overhead Variances
= 352000 - (57000 × 6)
= 352000 - 342000
= 10000 Unfavorable

Systematic acquisition and recording information concerning members of a given population is called census. This involves collecting and gathering data about the size and the composition of a population in a given country or nation. In the U.S for example census is undertaken after every ten years which involves tallying the population in the country and recording basic information such as age, sex and race.
