Answer:

The average consumption is higher in University A. than in University B

Explanation:

Marginal cost is known as the cost borne when an extra unit of output is being produced. Sunk cost is the cost once incurred cannot be recovered

The marginal cost at university A is $0 because they dont have to pay anything over and above $500. This $500 is the sunk cost for students at university A. The marginal cost at university B is $2 because they can consume only 250 pounds of food making them careful about the quantity of food they eat.

Sunk cost is not considered while making a decision, so the marginal cost of University A is $0 and that in University B is $2.

Therefore, we are concluding that the average consumption is higher in University A.

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) Income Summary

Explanation:

The income summary is a procedure that allows us to glimpse, globally, all the entries that existed in a period. It provides very valuable generalized information, which lets you know how business, work or some investment is going.

To ensure that our results are accurate, we must close all income and expense accounts, and take stock to obtain our conclusions. If the results have not been favorable, we must make the necessary adjustments so that in the next income summary we can obtain better results.

Though unions can negotiate pay increases for their members, their actions can have unintended consequences for workers. Identif
lakkis [162]

Answer:

(a) Firms could possibly respond to unions demands for higher wages by hiring fewer workers.

(b) Firms could possibly respond to unions demands for higher wages by substituting capital for labor.

Explanation:

Unions are formed to work toward better working conditions and welfare of staff.

Workers act collectively to negotiate better terms of employment with the employers.

However when unions try to negotiate for increased pay the employer may take different actions that will bad for the employee.

The employer may decide to actually pay the higher wage but hire fewer workers. This is usually the case when higher wages for many employees will result in loss for the employer.

Secondly the employer may substitute capital for labour. For example investing more in use of machines and reducing labour.

From the employer's viewpoint this will result in lower labour cost due to higher wage payment
