Answer:

D

Explanation:

The traditional objective of a firm is profit maximization. There exists alternative short run objectives such as sales maximization, sales revenue maximization, survival, satisficing profits, and ethical objectives.  Sometimes, there exists is a trade-off between these objectives as some of these objectives may lower profits in the short-term, but lead to profit maximization in the long-run; there is also likely to be the principal-agent problem if a firm pursues other obejctives aside from maximizing profit. Profit maximization is viewed as the utimate objective of the firm and can be derived using the Total Revenue (TR) and Total Cost (TC) approach or the Marginal Revenue (MR) and Marginal Cost (MC) rule.  Profit is maximized where theTR curve is at maximum (its highest point) at which MR is zero. Alternatively, using the MR/MC rule, profit is maximized where MR=MC.

What is one specific way that living in a company town prevented workers from forming organized labor unions?
Anna007 [38]
In the early 1900's , a company often provided a company town, a place where the worker could live in the near working location ( usually like a mining location)

The workers usually were lured by the promise of high wage.

But here's the thing, in company town, a source of living usually can only obtained in a company store, and the cost is really high.

So instead of getting a high wage, the workers trapped in huge debt to the company, creating some sort of slavery that they have to work to pay off their debt to the company

Techincally, the company could easily bring those workers to the court ( even though is very cruel, they obtain the debt in a 'legal' way), so basically workers cant do a thing
