Answer:

False

Explanation:

The change in the behaviour of participants when they are aware that they are being observed is called Hawthorne effect. It can be defined as increase in output in response to being watched.

The term emerged with Hawthorne studies that tested the impact of various working condition variables on the productivity of the employees. Although experts do not believe that there was any Hawthorne effect in Hawthorne studies.  

Hawthornian studies began around 1924 at the western Electric plant in Illinois, Chicago.

Western Bank & Trust purchased land and a building for the lump sum of $3 million dollars. To get the maximum tax deduction,
leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because land never depreciates, Western Bank & Trust wanted to distribute a higher percentage of the purchase price to the building, rather than the land. By allocating 90% of the purchase price to the building, rather than a more accurate 70%, Western Bank & Trust increases the depreciation amount of the building each year. For tax purposes, the IRS requires that the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) be used as the depreciation method used by companies. Under this method, the IRS specifies the useful life for a specific asset. MACRS also ignores residual value of an asset at the end of its useful life. By stating that the building was worth 90% of the total purchase price, Western Bank is attempting to increase its tax deduction from the IRS, because only the building depreciates, not the land. This improper allocation of the total purchase amount violates GAAP principles, which require that accounting information be “relevant and have faithful representation.” The information must be “complete, neutral, and free from error” (Nobles, Mattison, & Matsumura, 2014). For Western Bank to provide complete, neutral, and free from error information, it should record the transaction honestly: 70% to the building, 30% to the land. This dishonest representation is harmful to the federal government in that it is allowing Western Bank to take more money than what it is owed. If these kinds of situations happen on a large scale, it could have a huge impact on the economy in general. Source: Nobles, T., Mattison, B., & Matsumura, E. M. (2014).

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

keep producing in the short run but exit the industry or go out of business in the long run

Explanation:

A perfect competition is characterised by many buyers and sellers of homogeneous goods and services. Market prices are set by the forces of demand and supply. There are no barriers to entry or exit of firms into the industry.  

In the long run, firms earn zero economic profit.  If in the short run firms are earning economic profit, in the long run firms would enter into the industry. This would drive economic profit to zero.  

Also, if in the short run, firms are earning economic loss, in the long run, firms would exit the industry until economic profit falls to zero.  

A firm should shut down in the short run if price is less than average variable cost. But since the diner's price is greater than average variable cost, it should continue production.

A firm should exit the industry in the long run if price is less than average total cost. the diner's price is less than average total cost, so it should shut down in the long run

Alja [10]

Explanation:

It is given that in the market there are four equal-sized firms that produce similar products. The market is saturated such that 10% industry-wide price rise would lead to 18% decline in units sold by all firms in the industry. Going further, there is a proposed legislation that imposes a tariff on a key input used by the industry, which on realization would result in the increase in marginal cost by $2.

This means that the market elasticity of demand is:
