Answer:

Wage rate = $34.16

E = 3,750

Explanation:

(a) As monopsonist’s demand for labor is written as VMPE = 40 - 0.004ED and the firm’s marginal cost of hiring workers when it hires off of this supply schedule is MCE = 5 + 0.02ES.

Now VMPE = MCE  is the point when monopsonist will be hiring labor.

Calculations:

40 - 0.004E = 5 + 0.02E  

40 - 5 = 0.02E + 0.004E

0.024E = 35

E = 35 / 0.024

E = 1,458 (approx)

Calculating Wage rate:

As the firm’s marginal cost of hiring workers when it hires off of this supply schedule is MCE = 5 + 0.02E(s)

therefore by putting the value of E(s) in the above formula, we get

Wage rate = 5 + (0.02 x 1,458)

Wage rate = 5 + 29.16

Wage rate = $34.16

(b) When it must pay a minimum wage of $25:

As monopsonist’s demand for labor is written as VMPE = 40 - 0.004ED

VMPE:

25 = 40 - 0.004E

0.004E  = 40 - 25

0.004E = 15

E = 15 / 0.004

E = 3,750

True or false: When a capital investment decision is being made between two or more alternatives, the project with the shortest
Flura [38]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The payback period refers to the specific period of time that it is required to recover the amount invested and it is an important factor to take into account but the project with the shortest payback period is not necessarily the most desirable investment because other factors are also considered, for example, the expected profit and the conditions in the environment that may affect the assumptions made. Because of that, the answer is that the statement is false.

I think both, my reasons are, first, we have more technology and better transportation that will help us, like the technology to take and give to others, and the cars and trains ect. to help us to get from one place to another a bit quicker.

An account credits interest at an effective rate of 4% for years 1-3, 5% for years 4-6, and 6% for years 7-9. Deposits of $1,000
netineya [11]

Answer:

The accumulated value of the deposits at the end of 9 years is <u>$11,242.18</u>

Explanation:

Note: Find attached the excel file for the calculation.

Since the deposits are made into the account at the end of each year, interest will be earned on the opening balance for each year since it remains the account for 12 months.

No interest will be earned on the deposit of $1,000 made at the end of each year.

The opening balance, interest earned and the deposit for each year are then added together to obtain the closing balance for each year.

Since the closing balance for year 9 is <u>$11,242.18</u>, this is therefore the accumulated value of the deposits at the end of 9 years.
