Answer:

c. ​To pay the pickers per pound of apples picked

Explanation:

In an hourly rate, employees will be paid based on the time that they spend on the job. The productivity of the employees will not be a factor in their payment. As long as they spend equal amount of time in the workplace, they will be paid the same. This will provide the employees with no incentive to be more productive.

An incentive will be created if the employees are paid according to their workload. Meaning that the more productive they are, the higher the payment that they will receive. In this particular case This will make the employees will become motivated to pick as much apple as possible.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

PV of the sales price  $1,986,948.23

 

Explanation:

We will calcualte the present value of the sale price using the present value of a lump sum formula:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity 3,200,000

time                         5 years

rate         10% = 10/100 = 0.1

\frac{3200000}{(1 + 0.1)^{5} } = PV  

PV        $1,986,948.2338  

This indicates the 3,200,000 in five years are equivalent to 1,986,948.23 dollars Thus, this investment is not profitable as the property will be purchased at 2,200,000

Last month, you lent a work colleague $5000 to cover some overdue bills. He agreed to pay you in 1 month with interest at 2% for
faust18 [17]

Answer:

There are at least 2 opportunity costs associated with of letting your colleague have another month:

  1. if you invested in the oil-well venture, you could have earned $5,100 x 36% = $1,836 in one year
  2. if you invested in the new IT stock, you could have earned $5,100 x 48% = $2,448 in one year

You could invest in one of these options, or divide your money and invest in both options, e.g. invest $2,000 in the oil company and $3,000 in the IT company. Each different investment proportion results in a different opportunity cost.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are the benefits lost or extra costs associated to carrying out an investment or activity instead of another alternative. Sometimes you might have several opportunity costs for one investment, e.g. invest in the IT company which is risky, invest in corporate bonds which is less risky or invest in US securities which is a safe investment.
