Answer:
True. Yes, the theory can be falsified.
Explanation:
Theory X would more specifically refer to the theory of supply and demand, which states that individuals will buy more of a particular good if their income rises. From this theory, comes the concept of "normal good", which are precisely the goods that people buy more as their income rises.
This theory could be falsified by empirical observation: a study could be made, including a good number of subjects, to see whether their purchasing habits are directly related to their income.
Answer:
(a) 10.4%; 16.73%
(b) 6.33%
Explanation:
Given that,
Wages paid to the workers in 2016 = $25 per hour
Price level in 2016 = 241
Wages paid to the workers in 2017 = $41 per hour
Price level in 2017 = 245
Real wage rate in 2016:
= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100
= ($25 ÷ 241) × 100
= 0.104 × 100
= 10.4%
Real wage rate in 2017:
= (Nominal wages ÷ Price level) × 100
= ($41 ÷ 245) × 100
= 0.1673 × 100
= 16.73%
Therefore, the real wage increase received by these workers in 2017 is calculated as follows:
= Real wage rate in 2017 - Real wage rate in 2016
= 16.73% - 10.4%
= 6.33%
Hence, these workers do get a raise between the two years.
Answer:
Answer Illustration : Opportunity Cost of producing Wine is lesser in France, Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters is lesser in Tunisia. So, France has comparative advantage in Wine, Tunisia in Sweater.
Explanation:
Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.
Opportunity Cost of producing Sweaters & Wine in France & Tunisia are quantities of other goods (Sweaters or Tunias) sacrifised while choosing either. Sweater Opportunity Cost - Wines sacrifised, Wine Opportunity Cost - Sweaters sacrifised.
The country has a comparative advantage in a good if it can produce it with relatively less opportunity cost (in terms of other good sacrifised) than other country.
Ex : Production Possibilities
Wine Sweater Trade off (Wine :Sweater)
France 10 5 1:0.5 or 2:1
Tunisia 8 24 1:3 or 0.33:1
- France produces Wine with lesser opportunity cost (sweater sacrifised) than Tunisia [0.5 sweater < 3 sweaters] ; it has comparative advantage in Wine.
- Tunisia produces Sweater with less opportunity cost (wine sacrifised) than France [ 0.33 wine < 2 wines] ; it has comparative advantage in Tunisia
Answer:
Assemble to order
Explanation:
The reason is that the customer places the order and all Dell does is just assemble the product and deliver it to its customers. Dell is using just in time mechanism and has all of its chips manufacturing, LED manufacturing, etc production facilities interconnected. Even its suppliers are close to its production sites. This enables Dell to produce products that the customer is desiring. So assembling products by just after taking the customer orders is "assemble to order mechanism".
