Answer:

d. a palter

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that Kant would call this misleading statement a palter. This term refers to a statement that has been made ambiguous in order to hide the truth from someone or in order to avoid committing yourself to something. Which in this scenario "You" are trying to hide the fact that Bill is playing "hooky" from your boss.

Answer:

D) a palter

Explanation:

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher that proposed the doctrine of transcendental idealism. This doctrine states that as individuals we view objects and events not as they really are, but as they appear to us relative to our ideas or preconceptions. He proposed his categorical imperative which was that the truth should be told every time, no matter what.

A palter is an old word defined as a deliberate wrong response or act, given or made to confuse someone else.

In this case, you know Bill is not working and you also know that what he is doing is not right, but you choose to lie to your boss in an attempt to cover Bill's bad actions. Obviously the relationship with Bill is more important to you than what happens to your work (what affects a company, affects its employees and customers).

Suppose Nicholas owns a business making Christmas tree ornaments. Currently, he makes 300 ornaments a month. At this level of pr
Fudgin [204]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

1. MC = Cost of raw material + Cost of time

MC = 5 plus (10 divide by 2)

MC = $10

2.  TFC = $300

Q = 300 ,  AFC = TFC/Q = 300 divide by 300 = $1

3.  His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 ,  MC = $10

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

4.  His profit maximizing output would be higher

Reason: P = MR = $15 ,  MC = $4 + $5 = $9

Since MR > MC, and at the profit maximizing point MR = MC, it is better for Nicholas to increase his output.

If the company is using the payback period method and it requires a payback of three years or less, which project(s) should be s
algol [13]

Answer: Project X

Explanation:

The Payback period is the amount of time it would take for the cash inflows accruing from an investment to payoff the cost of the investment.

Project X has a constant cashflow of $24,000 for 3 years and a cost of $68,000 for the Payback period is;

= 68,000/24,000

= 2.83 years

Project Y has an uneven cash flow with a cost of $60,000. Payback is calculated as;

= Year before payback + Amount left to be paid/cashflow in year of payback

Year before payback = 4,000 + 26,000 + 26,000

= $56,000

This means that the third year is the year before payback.

60,000 - 56,000 = $4,000

Payback period = 3 + 4,000/20,000

= 3.2 years

Based on a Payback period of 3 years, only Project X should be chosen as it pays back in less than 3 years.

Suppose the price of tomatoes falls, ceteris paribus. Describe the impact the substitution effect and the real income effect wou
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Ceteris paribus assumption: Demand curves relate the prices and quantities demanded assuming no other factors change

Explanation:

Ceteris paribus is a  Latin phrase meaning “other things being equal”. If all else is not held equal, then the laws of supply and demand will not necessarily hold.

Demand is the amount of some product a consumer is willing and able to purchase at each price.

IMPACT THE SUBSTITUTION EFFECT AND THE REAL INCOME

A substitute is a good or service that can be used in place of another good or service. A lower price for a substitute decreases demand for the other product and increases the quantity demanded for tomatoes

A change in the price of a good or service causes a movement along a specific demand curve, and it typically leads to some change in the quantity demanded, but it does not shift the demand curve.
