We are given the skills of each worker:
Sasha is very good at producing computer-generated graphics
Maurice is skilled at designing logos with pen and paper
To address the immediate problem, Hector's action should be to assign Maurice to do the design in a paper then pass it to Sasha for generating it on the computer. It could also be that if a client requests a paper design, Maurice does it and for computer-generated designs, Sasha will do it.
The corrective action that he should do is let Sasha and Maurice attend trainings for their weaknesses. <span />
Answer:
Passive activity
Explanation:
Passive activities are those kind of activities which involve the business or the trade activities in which the person does not participate materially. And when the person participate materially in the activity, the person is involved in the operations of the company on a continuous, substantial as well as regular basis.
So, in this case, the taxpayer does not participate materially in the activities of the business and the taxpayer is the partial owner, any loss which flows through to the taxpayer will subject to the passive activity rules of loss.
Answer:
Marginal cost is rising.
Explanation:
Given that,
Jill Johnson currently produces = 10,000 Pizzas per month
At a total cost = $500
Marginal cost refers to the cost of producing one more unit of a commodity to satisfy a given want.
Average total cost = $500 ÷ 10,000
= $0.05
Here, Marginal cost of producing pizzas is as follows:
= Total cost of producing 10,001 pizzas - Total cost of producing 10,000 pizzas
= $500.11 - $500
= $0.11
Therefore, marginal cost of producing an additional pizza is $0.11 and it is rising, since average total cost is less than marginal total cost and ATC rising.
Answer:
The Agriculture Department argues that the subsidy increases the "cost" of planting and that it will reduce supply and increase the price of competitively produced agricultural goods.
Explanation:
The department is correct with the agreement that subsidies increase the cost of planting, as the subsidy will decrease with the decrease in area planted and this will increase the output available.
As the subsidy is paid for un-planted area it will be increasing cost, and decreasing quantity of output.
This is clearly true, as they are directly related and this will increase the prices as supply will be low and high demand.
This need to be regulated properly, as no subsidy will discourage farmers, but high subsidies will also discourage farmers.

c. power over business practices
Explanation:
Regulatory agencies are formed to monitor and checkmate adverse activities of a certain sector of an economy.
They have various powers that can be used to control activities in a economic sector:
- Licencing power is the ability to give access to the players in a particular business sector.
- Rate making power is the ability of regulatory agency to determine price of commodities
- Power over business practices is regulatory agency's power to determine whether the activity of a regulated entity is acceptable or not.
For example if regulatory agency in communication notices the process for registering new clients is too cumbersome, they can enforce a more simple and streamlined process
