Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": Semi-indirect.

Explanation:

In business writing, there are three main approaches to how to provide messages to an audience: direct strategy, indirect strategy, and semi-indirect strategy. The direct strategy places the purpose or conclusion of the message at first followed by the details of that idea. Using the indirect strategy, instead, implies starting the message with the details to finish with the central idea. The semi-indirect strategy is used when the main idea of the message is given in the middle of the speech and is surrounded by details at the beginning and the end.

In the excerpt, the main idea is:

"The new procedure for ordering supplies will be effective March 1";

which appears in the middle of the paragraph. Therefore, the speaker used the semi-indirect messaging strategy.

Consider a firm which produces T-shirts according to Q = L^0.5, where Q denotes output and L is labor input. The domestic wage i

Luden [163]

From the calculation below, the profit-maximizing labor input is 0.0625, and the profit of the firm is 0.125.

<h3>How do we determine profit-maximizing labor input and profit?</h3>

From the question, we can obtain:

R = Revenue = Q*P = L^0.5 * 1 = L^0.5

C = Cost = w * L = 2L

P = Profit = R - C = L^0.5 - 2L

To obtain the profit-maximizing labor input, the first derivative of P is taken, equated to zero, and we solve for L as follows:

P' = 0.5L^-0.5 - 2 = 0

0.5L^-0.5 = 2

L^-0.5 = 2 / 0.5

L^-0.5 = 4

L^(-0.5/-0.5) = 4^(-1/0.5)

L = 0.0625 ----> profit-maximizing labor input

The profit (P) of the firm can now be calculated by substituting L = 0.0625 into the P function as follows:

P = 0.0625^0.5 - (2 * 0.0625) = 0.125 --------> Profit of the firm

A closed economy has income of $1,200 billion, government spending of $220 billion, taxes of $170 billion, and investment spendi

Llana [10]

Answer: CONSUMPTION SPENDING = $730 Billion

PRIVATE SAVING = $300 Billion

PUBLIC SAVING = -$50 Billion

NATIONAL SAVING = $250 Billion

Explanation:

The missing figures are the Consumption Spending, Private Saving, Public saving and National Saving.

This is a closed economy so no imports.

Consumption Spending.

The Formula for GDP is

Y = C + I + G

Y is income

C is Consumption

I is Investment

G is Government Spending.

Making C the subject we have,

C = Y - I - G

= 1,200 - 220 - 250

= $730 billion

Private Saving is what people are left with after taxes and Consumption so,

= Y - T - C

= 1,200 - 170 - 730

= $300 billion

Public Saving is how much the Government spent vs what it received.

The formula would therefore be

= Taxes - Government Spending

= 170 - 220

= -$50 billion

National Saving is the amount in the Economy that was saved after accounting for Consumption and Government Spending.

= Y - C - G

= 1,200 - 730 - 220

= $250 billion

What happens to price when the cost of resources rise and falls

JulijaS [17]

In any business, when the cost of resources rise, the price of buying the commodity will also be high, this is because when it cost you much to produce a commodity, you will end up charging a higher price when selling it. Failure to do so may lead to making loses. The opposite is also true, when the cost of resources fall, the pricing will also be less.

disa [49]

Answer:

The answer is A. non-operating expense

Explanation:

As he operates a retail shop, such advertising is vital to attract customers to the shops and to make potential sales. We can't treat this expenses as administration or production expenses.

We consider this as non operational because advertising is not an operational part of the operations of a retail business. Moreover, we can't consider it as selling expenses because they are mostly incurred during the sales process.
