In addition, 50 hours of overtime are available for $15/hour each period. Holding costs are $2 per unit each period. a. How many hours of regular employment should be used in period 1?

Answer:

<u>125 (hours)</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Remember, the Linear programming model is simply a technique used to optimize a particular set of processes.

Note the statement from the question, "the manager has 125 hours of regular employment available for $10/hour each period." Which means this would form part of the constraints of the linear programming model.

In other words, the number of total hours available in period 1 is 125 hours.

Regarding the overall effect of negative interest rates on the economy, economists
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The effect of negative interest rates on the economy is reflected in option D:  negative interest rates simply cannot happen in reality.  Answer D is the correct response.

Explanation:

Answer C is partially correct.  In reality, experiments are running on economies as today:  Greece economy.  After a huge recession in previous years, the Government has released bonuses that, at the end of their effective period, will be charging people for actually buy them, and not paying them back.  This leads us to answer D: negative interest rates can actually happen, but they cannot exist as an economic mechanism that develops the economy:  customers will go for profit, not cost.  

The effect of this model is negative on the economy since it will not provide enough resources for stimulation.  Also, it will not slow it down since it is not expected that an instrument with negative interest rates will be accepted, in the form of bonuses, by customers; or loans, provided by banks.

False

Explanation:

If nicotine in cigarettes is highly addictive, why would it make economic sense for producers of cigarettes to offer free sample
makkiz [27]
If the nicotine cigarettes are highly addictive and they were to offer the free samples to young adults then it will make the people be highly addictive in the nicotine cigarettes and this will cause the economy in the producers to have a less demand in elasticity. If it has a less elasticity, then it will cause a large price change, affecting the consumed quantity by the consumers.
