Answer:
Malcolm is a professional writer. He has already published many best-sellers. One of his friends expressed interest in knowing more about his writing process, so Malcolm showed his friend a few of his first drafts. The friend observed that the drafts were nothing like the final book, and the writing seemed amateurish compared to Malcolm's published work. When asked about it, Malcolm said that it was the normal way of things. In this scenario, the following is the reason of this:
A) Malcolm would have revised his work many times before he was satisfied with it.
Explanation:
- The option A is best reason because generally a writer doesn't break his or her flow while writing and that is what Malcolm would have done. After, he would have revised his work many times until he was satisfied.
- The option B is not correct as it is not possible to change the book of a writer entirely by the publishing company.
- The option C is also incorrect as the drafts were not long and cohesive because his friend found the draft amateurish but not perfect.
- The option D is incorrect as it is not true that writers only create first draft and other people produce all other subsequent drafts.
Answer:
Suppose a senator considers introducing a bill to legislate a minimum hourly wage of $12.50.
Wage Labor Demanded Labor Supplied
$12.50 375,000 625,000
This will result in a surplus of labor (625,000 higher than 375,000)
Which of the following statements are true?
- Binding minimum wages cause structural unemployment. As with all price floors, a deadweight loss results, because the quantity supplied is much greater than the quantity demanded. In this case, the price of labor is the wage, and the deadweight loss = structural unemployment
-
In the absence of price controls, a surplus puts downward pressure on wages until they fall to the equilibrium.
Since a labor surplus exists, the price of labor should start to decrease in order to match the equilibrium price.
-
If the minimum wage is set at $12.50, the market will not reach equilibrium. The quantity supplied of labor is much greater than the quantity demanded for labor resulting in a surplus.
Answer:
$2.8 billion per year
Explanation:
Currently the amount of surplus milk in the US is really high since the demand per capita for milk has decreased by 40% in the last 50 years. Excess milk is turned into cheese since it doesn't last very long, and the current amount of surplus cheese is 1.4 billion pounds.
If yous need on average 4 pints of milk per pound of hard cheese and 2 pints per pound of soft cheese, that means that the total surplus milk production is between 2.8 and 5.6 billion pints.
If the government is going to purchase that excess milk, then it is going to need at least $2.8 billion per year.
Answer:
$338,712
Explanation:
we must first calculate the monthly payment using the present value of an annuity formula:
present value = monthly payment x annuity factor
present value = $340,000
PV annuity factor, 0.529167%, 420 periods = 168.38268
monthly payment = $340,000 / 168.38268 = $2,019.21
Since the monthly payment was actually higher than $1,800, the balloon payment will be almost $340,000
I prepared an amortization schedule using an excel spreadsheet. During the first years, the principal is only decreasing by $1 each month
Answer:
$506,800
Explanation:
The calculation of budgeted materials cost is shown below:-
For computing the budgeted materials cost first we need to find out the total materials for production and materials to be purchased which is here below:-
Total materials for production = Budgeted production × Pounds of raw material per unit
= 35,000 × 4
= 140,000
Materials to be purchased = Total materials for production + Ending raw materials inventory - January 1 inventory
= 140,000 + (39,000 × 4 × 30%) - 42,000
= 140,000 + 46,800 - 42,000
= 186,800 - 42,000
= 144,800
Budgeted materials cost for January = Materials to be purchased × Cost per pound
= 144,800 × $3.50
= $506,800
