If these are the missing choices:
A) short-term

My answer is C. INNOVATIVE.

Innovative is defined as an adjective that may refer to a person who introduces new ideas that are original and creative. It may also refer to a product, service, or idea that features new methods or designs that help advance our technology unlike no other.

Since Bill's organization expected to derive a 50% profit from products that did not exist five years ago, it is safe to assume that Bill's organization was the one to innovate and launch the product.

What will happen to the firms equilibrium wage rate when the supply of labour decrease from 25 to 15? Explain with the help of d

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Wage rate = $960

Explanation:

Supply of labor is the number of hours workers are willing to work at a given real wage rate. When wage rate increases, supply of labor also increases because more people are encouraged as now they can obtain a higher income. When wage rate decreases, labor supply also decreases.

View diagram

In this case, however, there has been a decrease in supply, causing the supply curve to shift from S to S1. This can be due to many reasons such as migration, increase in minimum working age or increase in interest in education causing more people to study. When the supply of labor falls, there are less people available for work. Thus, demand exceeds supply, causing a shortage. Hence, the pressure causes price, i.e. wage rate to increase. To determine by how much the increase is, cross-multiplication can be used:

At 25 laborers, wage rate is $600 (25 = 600)

At 15 workers, wage rate is X (15 = X)

We now substitute for X, which is the amount by which wage rate will increase.

25 / 600 = 15 / X

Thus, 25X = 9000 (600 x 15)

9000 / 25 = X

X = 360.

Hence, wage rate at 15 laborers is 600 + 360 = $960

Olin [163]

Answer:

a) should install the solar cells

alternative 1, solar cells

initial investment $18,000

annual expenses $2,400 (5 years)

NPV = $27,097.89

AW = (10% x $27,097.89) / [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁵] = $7,148.36

alternative 2, power line

initial investment $27,500

annual expenses $1,000 (5 years)

NPV = $31,290.79

AW = (10% x $31,290.79) / [1 - (1 + 10%)⁻⁵] = $8,254.43

b) $23,307.10
