Answer:

$11 billion annually.

Explanation:

Firms carried out assessments based on their daily activities as well as employee assessment.

Employees in firms are assessed based on their productivity level, rate at which they are absent from work as well as their turnover rate in the firm.

Low productivity can be defined as a decrease in the production capacity of a firm due to the inefficiency of workers.

Absenteeism can be defined as when a person is not present at work. This may be due to genuine or deliberate reasons.

Employee turnover can be defined as the number of employees who leave a firm and are replaced with new employees.

Low productivity, consistent absenteeism and employee turnover rates are said to cause firms to lose a lot of money due to:

a. Payment of salary for absent workers

b. Having to find replacement for absent staffs.

c. Low productivity due to lack of or absent staffs.

It is estimated that firms lose $11 billion annually in productivity, absenteeism, and employee turnover due to caring for aging parents.

Barriers to International Trade Countries often use various government regulations to manipulate the amount of goods and service
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

1. Embargoes and sanctions

When a trade embargo or sanctions are in play, depending on the strength of the nation or International organisation that imposed it, countries are not allowed to trade with the country that is under an embargo. Sometimes the trade embargo can be on all products and sometimes just specific sectors are targeted. An example is the current United States embargo on Venezuela which targets their oil sector and as such most countries are avoiding buying Venezuelan oil.

2. Tariffs

This is a method of reducing the amount of a certain good imported from outside. Tariffs are usually introduced to protect the domestic producers and supplier in an economy and work by taxing imports or placing a customs duty on them. They are usually imposed when the imports are cheaper than domestic Production.

3. Import Quota

Another way to protect the domestic economy. In this scenario, a country allows the import of a certain good only up to an extent for a period which is usually a year. For instance, the United States in this scenario could say that in 2020 only 500 megatons of Aluminum are allowed into the country from China. After that, no more is allowed until 2021.

4. Tariff.

This is a Tariff and as earlier explained, is meant to protect the domestic producers by taxing imports that are cheaper.

5. Import Quota.

This is clearly an import Quota as earlier described because the country is limiting the amount of a certain good that can come into it.

6. Embargoes and Sanctions.

This is a clear example of an embargo. The United States is limiting the amount of goods exported to North Korea because they are under sanctions and embargoes. The United States and Western nations do not want to export anything to North Korea that could aid it's Nuclear Industry so it is a targeted embargo on their nuclear industry.

MONEY Deanna and Lise are playing games at the arcade. Deanna started with $15, and the machine she is playing costs $0.75 per g
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The answer is: after 8 games

Explanation:

You can solve this problem in two ways:

                                        Deanna                        Lise

Start with                            $15                            $13

After 1 game                      $14.25                       $12.50

After 2 games                   $13.50                       $12.00

After 3 games                   $12.75                        $11.50

After 4 games                   $12.00                        $11.00

After 5 games                   $11.25                         $10.50

After 6 games                   $10.50                        $10.00

After 7 games                    $9.75                         $9.50

After 8 games                   $9.00                        $9.00

Or you can solve this equation:

= (price of arcade D - price of arcade L) / (Deanna's money - Lise's money)

= ($0.75 - $0.50) / ($15 - $13) = $0.25 / $2 = 8

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

B. $34,000; -$1,000

Explanation:

Accounting profit equals total revenue minus explicit costs. Here,

$50,000 - $12,000 - $1,000 - $3,000 = $34,000.

Economic profit equals total revenue minus the sum of both explicit and implicit costs. Here,

$50,000 - $12,000 - $1,000 - $3,000 - $35,000 = -$1,000

                                                   premium x (unsold bonds / Bonds issued)]

                                           =  (300,000 x 0.09) - 60000/10 x 200,000/300,000

                                          =  (27,000 - 6000) x 0.66667

                                          =  21,000 x 0.66667

                                          = $14,000
