The special experiment is the Hawthorne experiment which was conducted to know the impacts of physical factors on the productivity and relationship between environment and productivity.

Hawthorne experiment was done by Elton Mayo in Western Electric Plant in order to know the productivity by selecting some workers from the factory, making them work under a specific environment, and increasing and decreasing illumination of lighting in the workplace in the year between 1924 to 1927.

This experiment resulted to show that a worker's rate of work depends on social issues and human relationships. After increasing the lighting, productivity did increase however, even after decreasing it, production of output by those workers kept on increasing which suggests that earlier awareness of them being monitored made them work better than before.

Given the following data, calculate product cost per unit under variable costing. Direct labor $ 8 per unit Direct materials $ 3
Harman [31]

Solution:

As we need to measure costs due to variable expense, the fixed overhead is not taken into account.

Therefore, expense can be measured as follows per unit:

Cost per unit = Direct labor per unit + Direct material per unit  + variable overhead per unit                                                                                  

Cost per unit = 8 + 3 + \frac{30,000}{50,000}

                     = 11 +0.6 = $11.6

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

<h2>In this instance,the correct answer is the first option in the answer choices given or political and economic institutions.</h2>

Explanation:

Porter's model of international competitive advantage thoroughly explains the factors or attributes that contribute to the competitive advantage of any country in the international market of various goods and services which can eventually strengthen the economic position of the country in the global commercial environment.This will subsequently generate economic benefits to any country in various trade and commercial activities in the international market.Now,as proposed by Porter,some of the forces or attributes that can ensure and strengthen a sustainable competitive advantage of any country in the global market include related or supporting industries,which can be used to provide productive resources and factors/inputs of production to facilitate the production of any good and service,factors of production,which refers to the efficient and productive utilization of the factors/inputs of production in the production process by domestic firms or companies,demand conditions,which indicate the overall scenario of consumer or commercial demand for goods and services in the country based on which domestic firms or companies can adjust or modify their respective production level that can potentially determine the overall production of goods and services in the country.However,Porter does not specify the role of major economic and political institutions in promoting or ascertaining international competitive advantage of any country.

You would like to establish a trust fund to provide $140,000 a year forever for your heirs. The expected rate of return is 5.45
ryzh [129]

Answer:

The amount of money that must be deposited to day to fund this gift is<u> $2,568,807.34</u>.

Explanation:

In order to determine this, we employ the formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity since the fund is meant to provide $140,000 a year forever.

A perpetuity can be described as payments that is made or received periodically forever or indefinitely.

The formula for calculating the present value of a perpetuity is given as follows:

PV = M / i  ............................. (1)

Where;

PV = the amount of money that must be deposited today = ?

M = yearly amount to receive forever = $140,000

i = expected rate of return = 5.45, or 0.0545

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

PV = $140,000 / 0.0545

PV = $2,568,807.34

Therefore, the amount of money that must be deposited to day to fund this gift is<u> $2,568,807.34</u>.
