<span>The best explanation for Khalil's improved performance when he was taking the herbal medicine is the Placebo Effect. Sugar and basil leaves in the amount that a medicine dose contains would not have any significant effect on Khalil's performance, but the placebo effect can cause someone to see improvements from a placebo (a treatment with no active effect) simply because they expect to see improvements. Since Khalil expected improvements from taking the medicine, he might have perceived improvements from the placebo effect even though the medicine had no real effect.</span>

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The economic surplus will decrease by $2.20

Explanation:

$81.40 and $79.20 are <em>marginal </em>cost and benefit, which are the changes to total costs and total benefits due to producing and consuming one additional barrel of oil.

They can be used to calculate <em>change </em>to economic surplus, which is the change to the net economic value received by society, which is given by:

marginal benefit - marginal cost = $79.20 - $81.40 = - $2.20

A financial analyst is in the process of reviewing four investments projects for one of his clients. The net present cash values
inysia [295]

Answer:

Consider the following calculation

Explanation:

All projects having positive NPVs, thus all projects are feasible.

(All figures are in $' million)

Funds required to invest in all projects are

First year = 6 + 2 + 4 + 10 = 22 & available fund for first year is only 20.

Second year = 8 + 4 + 8 + 6 = 36 & available fund for second year is only 13.

In these type of situations we use Profitability Index to decide which projects are selected and which are to be skipped.

Profitablilty index = PV of cash inflow/ PV of cash outflows

But in this such information is not given to calculate Profitability index, thus we are calculating here NPV per One $ of investment.

thus NPV per One $ of investment = NPV of project / Investment in Project

Note: We are taking here value of investment in project for both two year with out taking effect of time value of money as no discount rate is provided in the question.

CHECK THE EXCEL ATTACHED

Total fund available with investor = 20+13 = 33

Total fund required for Project 4 & Project 1= 16 + 14 =30

thus he can invest in only project 4 & Project 1, for investing in next profitable project i.e. project 2 he requires $6 million but he has only $3 million in his hands.

Thus the optimal solution for the client is to invest in Project 4 & Project 1.

Thus Funds available in first year = 20, Investment in First year = 10+6 = 16, Funds remains in hand =4

Funds available in second year = 4+ 13= 17, Investment in second year =6+8= 14, funds remains in hand = 3

NPV from total investment = 80 + 50 = 130

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

the relationship between management and labor from one of conflict to one of cooperation.

Explanation:

The goal of Frederick Taylor and scientific management is to increase labor efficiency. He proposed specialization and training in order to have more efficient workers that can produce more per hour. At the same time, Taylor advocated for higher pay if efficiency and productivity increased. For example, if a worker produces 100 units, he/she should be paid twice than a worker that produces only 50 units.
