Answer:

Disability discrimination.

Explanation:

Disability discrimination is when an employer discriminates against an individual that has a disability and acts unfavourably towards a candidate because of the disability.

There should not be any pre-employment test that will screen out candidates because of a disability.

Tests should be designed in such a way that only job related skills are tested. In this instance firefighter recruitment requires candidates to carry a 100 pound sack down a ladder, and this is used for screening.

If it cannot be proven that the test is relevant to the job, then this will be a discrimination of disabled persons.

Assume that the money demand function is (M/P)d = 2,200 – 200r, where r is the interest rate in percent. The money supply M is 2
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: The nominal money supply should set at 1,600.

Explanation:

Given that,

Money demand function: (M/P)d = 2,200 – 200r

r - Interest rate

Money supply (M) = 2,000

Price level (P) = 2

If the fed wants to set the interest rate at 7% then,

Money supply = money demand

(\frac{M}{P})^{s} = (\frac{M}{P})^{d}

\frac{M}{P} = 2,200 – 200r

P = 2 and r = 7%

\frac{M}{2} = 2,200 – 200 × 7

                            M = 800 × 2

                            M = 1,600

The nominal money supply should set at 1,600.

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

accountability metrics

Explanation:

Accountability metrics  are used by companies to measure the specific financial results of marketing campaigns. Marketing campaigns are expensive and require a lot of resources, both financial and labor resources, and as competition between producers increases, so does competition among marketing firms. The best way a marketing firm can increase its clients is by showing that their campaigns are effective, so every dollar invested by their clients will generate positive returns.

1. Ira Schwab opens up a Schwab IRA and places $2,000 in his retirement account at the beginning of each year for 10 years. He b
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

He will have $102,979 in his retirement account in 10 years.

Explanation:

Annual Payment = $2,000

Number of Year = n = 10

Interest rate = i = 5%

Compounded Quarterly

Future value after 10 years

FV = A [ ( ( 1 + ( r / m )^mt ) - 1 / ( r / m )

FV = $2,000 [ ( ( 1 + ( 0.05 / 4 )^40 ) - 1 / ( 0.05 / 4 )

Future value = $102,979

So, Ira Schwab will have $102,979 in his retirement account in 10 years.

In the perfectly competitive gadget industry there are 10 firms with identical costs given by C = 500 + 20q + q2, none of which
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The explanation is below

Explanation:

A.  Shutdown point is achieved when price equal AVC. when price lowers than the AVC, firm shutdown.

VC = q^2

AVC = q

So,

P = q is the shutdown point.

B.  For profit maximizing level of output,

P = MR = MC

500 = 20 + 2q

q = 240 units

So, profit maximization level of output = 240 units

C.  Firm level supply curve = MC curve above the shutdown point

Number of firms = 5

So,

Industry supply curve = 10*MC = 200+20Q

Industry supply curve = 200+20Q

It shows that MC curve above the shutdown point is supply curve.
