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

mina [271]

The amount of money that I would have in the bank account at the end of one year is $1,100.

The real interest rate I would expect to earn on the deposit is 6%.

If I am saving for a gaming computer, at the end of next year I would have enough money.

<h3>What is the value of the money by next year?</h3>

The formula that can be used to determine the money in my bank account next year is:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

Where:

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

1000 x (1.1)^1 = $1,100

<h3>What is the real interest rate?</h3>

The real interest rate is the nominal interest rate less inflation rate.

The real interest rate = 10% - 4% = 6%

Which of the following options is a challenge to the sustainability of strategically implementing an information​ system? A. Man
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

D. Customers and suppliers willing to learn and evolve with new technology

Explanation:

In an implementation of any new IT system, the resistance to adoption from different stakeholders in the organizations is one of the most difficult challenges that is faced by the project managers. To overcome this resistance, the project manager needs to be accustomed to the basic principles of change management which involves:

1 - Designing incentive systems that forces all the stakeholders to adopt the new system.

2- Manage proper communication strategy that conveys the benefits of adopting the new system and conduct training for all the users.

However, there will still be resistance from certain suppliers and customers  to the adoption of the new system. Which can lead to failed implementation of the system. However by doing the following, any organization can make sure that customers and suppliers quickly become an integral part of the IT system:

1- Take feedback from the customers and suppliers so that not only a more user friendly system can be designed, but also customers will be more invested as they feel they have been part of the decision making process.

2- Invite customers and suppliers to use the company resources to make themselves accustomed to the new system.

Wiggins Company has 1,000 shares of $10 par preferred stock, which were issued at par. It also has 25,000 shares of common stock
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Book value par common share will be $19.6

Explanation:

We have given number of preferred stock = 1000

Value of preferred stock = $10 par preferred stock

So preferred Stock = 1000 x $10 = $10000

Total Stockholder's equity = $500000

Thus Common stock value = $500000 - $10000 = $490000

Total number of common stock = 25000 shares

So the book value per common share is = \frac{490000}{25000}=19.6
