FIRST SCENARIO: The economy has taken a turn for the worse. The president believes the government should get the economy moving

again. According to the president, the problem is that markets are flawed and they do not protect consumers. Therefore, the government should study the problem, decide what must be produced, and pass laws that require individuals and businesses to follow the government’s informed advice.
Opponents of the president see a different world. They say central planners do not have enough information to organize an economic system. Markets may seem chaotic, but prices act as signals and respond quickly to fragmented information in a dynamic economy. These price signals provide consumers, businesses, and resource owners with the information they need to coordinate action. In addition, incentives matter. Government programs often create incentives that have unintended consequences. The economy will grow if we stay the course.

SECOND SCENARIO: The Save Our Jobs Coalition is working to pass a law that would penalize businesses that move jobs overseas. In addition, the law would require tariffs to be imposed on imported goods that are cheaper than similar goods made in the United States. Many corporations and small businesses are in favor of raising tariffs.

Opponents of the proposed law believe freer trade promotes economic progress because it makes more sense to buy goods from a country that makes them less expensively and use the country‟s resources to make other products. A tariff may save jobs in a particular industry, but other jobs will not be created. Furthermore, prohibiting American companies from having operations overseas means the companies will be reluctant to hire people domestically and will lay off highly paid workers in their quest to cut costs.

THIRD SCENARIO: Business lobbyists believe the current government is anti-business. They also think competition is making it difficult to make a profit. They believe it’s time for the government to help businesses through subsidies and incentives for consumers to buy their products. They also want the government to suspend antitrust laws and make new rules and regulations that would make it more difficult for small businesses to compete unfairly with large, well-established corporations. According to the lobbyists, helping business will improve everyone’s lives.

What would Adam Smith say? Why?

FOURTH SCENARIO: “Stop Government Now” is a group that believes there is no legitimate role for government except providing for police and fire protection. Members believe almost all governmental functions should be privatized. Markets should not be regulated. Members say markets may be greedy, but free markets make us all more moral.

The proposed response of Adam Smith based on each scenario is given below:

<h3>Scenario 1</h3>

He would say that the pricing system should remain the main determinant of the market and the interference of the government was uncalled for.

<h3>Scenario 2</h3>

He would side with the free market system and be an opponent of the law that frowns on importation.

<h3>Scenario 3</h3>

He would support the suspension of the antitrust laws.

<h3>Scenario 4</h3>

He would believe that markets should not be regulated and the free market system should continue.

<h3>Who is Adam Smith?</h3>

He is the father of modern economics for his work in pioneering ideas such as free trade and the gross domestic product

Hence, we can see that the proposed response of Adam Smith based on each scenario is given above.

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer:

A) 32 units ( number of units per month per worker )

B) number of workers required = 975 / 32 ≈ 31

c) mean of the two values = 138 + 41 ) / 2 = $89.50

Explanation:

A) Determine a minimum inventory production plan ( i.e. one that allows arbitrary hiring and firing )

The number of units per month per worker = 32 units

To have a minimum/least inventory; production plan  = demand by hiring or firing

of employees

<em>attached below is the table </em>

B)  determine the production plan that meets demand but does not hire or fire workers during the six-month period

To determine this production plan we have to find the per month production = (Total demand - beginning inventory ) / 6

                   = ( 6350 - 500 ) / 6  = 975 units produced

number of workers required = 975 / 32 ≈ 31

C) Calculate The cost of subcontracting needed to beat the cheaper of the two options above

regular cost = 8 * 5 = $40

we will keep 30 workers in order to determine how much subcontracting is needed and the maximum and minimum value of each unit is kept hence the overall cost <  $253900.

if subcontracting cost = $138  then total cost = $253820

If subcontracting cost = $41  then total cost = $245090.

Therefore mean of the two values = 138 + 41 ) / 2 = $89.50

D) subcontracting cost of $50 formulating a LP and solve to optimality for the constraints of this problem

Z <= (Y+1)*7680 , X + 32Y >= 5850

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The monetary value is $24,201.23

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cash flows:

Year 1= $6,800

Year 2= 6,800

Year 3= 6,800

Year 4= $15,000.

The discount rate is 15 percent.

We need to discount each cash flow to the present value:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

Year 1= 6,800/1.15= 5,913.04

Year 2= 6,800/1.15^2= 5,141.78

Year 3= 6,800/1.15^3= 4,471.11

Year 4= 15,000/ 1.15^4= 8,576.30

Total= $24,201.23

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": the independent variable.

Explanation:

Multiple regression is a mathematical model used concerning two or more variables when one value is to be used. The independent variable is the reason for the research, and the variables are dependent when they represent the value factors that need to be evaluated and are why the analysis is being carried out.

In the example,<em> the independent variable is the weight of the boxes</em> and <em>the dependent variables are the adjustable stabilizer settings of the rotary valve on the filling machine in three different production shifts</em>.
