Answer:
The question is not complete, below is the completed question:
The wage rate for widget makers is currently $25 per hour and Ajax hires 20 widget makers. If the wage rate were decreased to $20, what would happen to the marginal revenue product for labor at Ajax?
A) It would remain the same.
B) It would increase since Ajax's demand for labor curve will shift.
C) It would increase since the price of widgets would decrease.
D) It would decrease since Ajax will hire more workers.
Answer:
The correct answer is:
It would decrease since Ajax will hire more workers. (D)
Explanation:
Marginal Revenue Product for Labour (MRPL) is the extra labour generated when an extra worker is employed. In this case, since the wages decreased from $25 to $20, Ajax will hire more workers, because it can afford to pay more workers, meanwhile, the extra labour generated on the employment of an extra worker will decrease. The MRPL is used by firms to determine the number of labour to employ since they have to employ the right amount of labour to maintain profit and prevent diminishing returns associated with excess labour employment.
Answer:
Masters
Explanation:
A Bachelor's degree refers to an academic degree (certificate) awarded to a student by a tertiary institution (university or college) after the completion of his or her educational programme. Bachelor's degree is generally being referred to as first degree because it is the first certification to be acquired by an undergraduate student after the completion of his or her course of study. Mostly, a bachelor’s degree program lasts for four (4) years and in some cases it is typically for five (5) years.
The second (next) degree a graduate obtains after the acquisition of a first degree (bachelor degree) is the master's degree. The advantage of a master degree is that, it can be obtained in a different academic field such as science, engineering, education etc.
Hence, some people will obtain a bachelor’s degree with a focus in fashion design. Then to increase their skill set, they may also obtain a masters in a different degree like marketing.
Answer: false
Explanation: Extrinsic motivation relates to actions motivated by incentives from the outside, such as wealth, popularity, promotions, and recognition. This form of motivation comes from the outside of the person, as contrasted to the internal motivation that comes from within the person.
Extrinsic motivation is commonly defined as the inclination to participate in activities to receive some kind of perceived outward benefit. It is worth noting that either physical or mental in essence can be these incentives. Thus, from the above we can conclude that the above statement is false.
Solution :
A firm hires labor till a point where the cost of hiring is equal to the value of the additional revenue it produces.
We know ,
the wage rate = cos of hiring an additional worker
the value of the additional revenue that the firm produces = price x (MPI) marginal product of the labor.
Therefore, the firm will hire when :
Wage = value of the additional revenue it generates
Thus, wage = price x (MPI) marginal product of the labor ...........(i)
Therefore, given :
wage of a worker = $ 45
Price = $ 12
So, 45 = 12 x MPI
MPI = 3.8
So the marginal product of employing three days of labor = 25-18/4-3 = 7
Marginal product of employing four days of labor = 30-25/4-3 = 5
So the 4th day produces less revenue than the cost that it generates.
So, the firm should hire 3 workers.
Answer:
$3,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total amount of benefits paid to the insured = $4,000
Percentage paid by the insured = 25% of monthly premium
Now,
The total amount paid by the insured = 25% of $4,000
= 0.25 × $4,000
= $1,000
Therefore,
The monthly benefit that will be taxable
= Amount of benefits paid - total amount paid
= $4,000 - $1,000
= $3,000
