Answer: 204.76%

Explanation:

In the earlier scenario, furniture maker manufactured 47 (42 non defective) pieces per 5 laborers working 8 hours day.

Thus, the productivity in terms of units per labor hour is as follows:

= \frac{42}{8\times5}

= 1.05

Similarly, after the process improvement, the productivity in units per labor hour would be:

= \frac{128}{8\times5}

= 3.2

Thus change in productivity would be calculated as:

=\frac{3.2-1.05}{1.05}\times100

= 2.047 × 100

= 204.76%

Thus, the productivity of non defective parts would increase by 204.76%.

Y_Kistochka [10]
First option: The adjusted price of this item is 90% of the original price due to the 10% discount.
         
                   Price = ($59.95)(0.90) 
                    Price = $53.955

Second option: The adjusted price is 75% of the original price because of the discount amounting to 25% of the original price.
              
                  Price = ($75.99)(0.75)
                  Price = $56.99

Hence, the lower price is from the first choice.

Answer:

Suppose the Finnish government undertakes a program that relaxes immigration but only for highly skilled workers. This policy changes will result in an increase in the _population of immigrants_______, causing __increased economic performance resulting from increased supply of highly skilled labor, productivity, and GDP and not to forget increased diversity with its attendant benefits and costs_____.

Explanation:

Immigration is the movement of non-natives or citizens into a country from other countries.  If the number of immigrants outnumber those emigrating, the population of the country will increase relatively.  To boast population, increase diversity, and energize an economy, some countries deliberately embark on programed immigration and acceptance of highly skilled workers.  As they come in, they come with their families, some will bear more children, and there will be increased relationships between the immigrants and the domiciled citizen population.  The economy of the country will be revitalized since they are highly skilled workers, and there will be increased productivity and beneficial changes in the GDP.  Human diversity has many attendant benefits and burdens.  Whichever one that outweighs the other depends on factors prevalent in the particular country.
