Raktida is the manager a popular Italian Restaurant on Mott Street. She wants to predict her guest counts for the first week of

November so that she can estimate an accurate number of servers to schedule. Business is very good, but her sales history from last month indicates that fewer guests are served during the first few days of the week compared to last year, whereas more guests per day are served in the later part of the week. Raktida has entered the guest counts from last year and the estimated percentage change in guest counts for this year in the chart below. Because good service is so important to her, she wants to ensure that enough servers are scheduled to work each day. One server can provide excellent service to 50 guests. Help Raktida calculate how many servers to schedule each day by completing the following chart.

Answer:

The advantage of recording daily guest counts is that the information is more accurate, and it can help help Raktida to better forecast the number of guests during the current year. It's all about the quality of the information and not just the total data available. Total numbers would have been the same, but the use that could be given to them would be limited. The same applies if instead of weekly guests, the information was for monthly guests. Weekly numbers would be more useful than monthly numbers.

Having daily numbers allows Raktida to forecast a much more accurate serving schedule.

The University creates many departments for different fields of study. This structure has been institutionalized since primitivity to enable group of people with same academic interest, and Long & short term career goals share ideas, knowledge and learn together in same environment. This structure is ideal and supportive and allows for complete focus on one's area of interest. However, this structure is currently being modified and may entirely change in the nearest future as there have being increasing overlaps between courses of different field. Multidisciplinary departments have come in handy with research that help in preserving humanity just as Biology is overlapping with different fields of study to find cure for the ravaging Covid-19.

laiz [17]

Answer:

Method 1 should be chose, since it is still the cheapest if labor cost rises to $200/unit.

Explanation:

Total Cost = ( units * labor costs) + (capital cost * units of labor)

Total Cost for Method 1 : (50 * 100) + (10*400)

= $9,000

Total Cost for Method 2 : (20 * 100) + (40*400)

= $18,000

Total Cost for Method 3 : (10 * 100) + (70*400)

= $29,000

If  the price of labor rises to $200 then:

Total Cost for Method 1 : (50 * 200) + (10*400)

= $14,000

Total Cost for Method 2 : (20 * 200) + (40*400)

= $20,000

Total Cost for Method 3 : (10 * 200) + (70*400)

= $30,000

labwork [276]

Answer:

A) productivity and real GDP per person are both higher.

Explanation:

In the long run, an increase in savings will increase total investment. If total investment increases, then the productive capacity (productivity) and the aggregate supply should also increase. An increase in investment is the best way to guarantee a sustainable increase in aggregate demand without increasing the inflation rate.

When productivity increases, the real GDP per capita also increases.

Helps the government and a homeowner with a fixed-rate mortgage

But hurts a union worker in the second year of a labor contract and a college that has invested some of its endowment in government bonds

Explanation:

The government: This unexpected Increase in inflation help the government in the sense that it reduces the real value of government debts(it erodes the purchasing power of the debtors). It also increases the tax revenue.

A homeowner with a fixed-rate mortgage: This unexpected Increase in inflation also pays this category because the interest rate he is paying for his mortgage is less than the prevailing interest rate.

A union worker in the second year of a labor contract: This unexpected increase hurts this worker because the terms of the contract would have been based on the expected inflation rate(3%) but for this unxpected increase, its purchasing power will be eroded.

A college that has invested some of its endowment in government bonds: It hurts the college because higher inflation rate means the college is receiving a lower interest payment from the bond.

Answer: output controls.

Explanation:

The real-world scenario best illustrates output controls. Output control refers to the technique that is used in analysing the output that is provided by a firm.

Output control focuses on the measurable results that are within an organization. Since the company encourages its employees to spend 15 percent of their time on projects of their own choosing and the ones who looks promising are financed to develop their commercial potential, this refers to output controls.
