You recently were hired as a front line debt collection agent for a debt collection service in Michigan. Your boss assigns you t

o a fairly new client. That client shares with you several items: account ledgers showing overdue balances, checks that "bounced" or were returned for insufficient funds, and a list of dates of purchases. Most of the purchases were made more than 6 years ago. Michigan has a six year statute of limitations for the collection of debt, meaning that after six years, one cannot successfully bring a lawsuit to recover old debt. You talk to your boss who instructs you to go ahead and contact the debtors with the standard letter that offers to settle the outstanding debt for 75% of the amount owed. The letter also indicated that failure to either accept the settlement offer within 20 days, or pay off the full amount after day 20 but before day 45, would result in the filing of a lawsuit to collect the debt. As a new collection agent, you know that the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act governs behavior in the industry. Explain why this requested behavior may violate the act.

Suppose that a worker in Radioland can produce either 4 radios or 1 television per year, and a worker in Teeveeland can produce
shutvik [7]

Answer:

(B) 300 televisions and 100 radios in Teeveeland and 300 radios and 100 televisions in Radioland

Explanation:

Radioland

Each worker can produce either 4 radios or 1 television

The country has a total of 100 workers

<em>By specializing in the goods it has a comparative advantage, Radioland will only produce radios.</em>

Therefore, the total number of radios it will produce per year

= 4 radios per worker * 100 workers

= 400 radios.

If Radioland trades 100 radios to Teeveeland in exchange for 100 televisions each year, Radioland will end up with

= 400 radios - 100 radios (to Teeveeland) + 100 televisions (from Teeveeland)

= 300 radios + 100 televisions in Radioland.

Teeveeland

Each worker can produce either 2 radios or 4 televisions

The country has a total of 100 workers

<em>By specializing in the goods it has a comparative advantage, Teeveeland will only produce televisions.</em>

Therefore, the total number of televisions it will produce per year

= 4 televisions per worker * 100 workers

= 400 televisions.

If Teeveeland trades 100 televisions to Radioland in exchange for 100 radios each year, Teeveeland will end up with

= 400 televisions - 100 televisions (to Radioland) + 100 radios (from Radioland)

= 300 televisions + 100 radios in Teeveeland.

galina1969 [7]

Answer:

c) movement from a point inside the curve to a point on the curve.

Explanation:

Option C is correct because the production possibilities curve shows the combination of goods produced by the economy efficiently and any point inside the curve shows the inefficiency of the economy while the point outside the curve shows that the economy can not achieve it. Therefore, change in economic inefficiency to efficiency leads to move point from inside to the point on the curve.

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Units sold = 6,000 units

Sales = $565,000

Selling and administrative expenses  = $67,000

Operating income:

= Sales - Cost of Goods Sold - Selling and administrative expenses

= $565,000 - ($305,000 + $14,000 + $43,000 - $42,000) - $67,000

= $565,000 - $320,000 - $67,000

= $178,000

Therefore, the operating income for the year is $178,000.
