Answer:
d.economic duress
Explanation:
The economic duress in simple terms means a party who is entering into a contract frightens or threatens of cancelling the contract or does not act according to the terms of the contract unless the other party in the contract agrees to their demands.
In the context, the conduct of Roger against Karl is probably can be called as the 'economic duress' as Roger informs Karl before the deadline of filing the response that he will not represent himself against IRS unless Karl enters into a deal of an expensive retainer agreement. Thus it is an economic duress that Roger is showing and forcing Karl to agree on his demands.
Answer:
a. Gross pay = $1,320
b. Net pay = $917
Explanation:
a. Determine the gross pay for the week. $ If applicable, round your final answer to two decimal places.
Pay for 40 hours = 40 * $24 = $960
Pay for excess of 50 hours = (50 - 40) * $24 * 1.5 = $360
Gross pay = $960 + $360 = $1,320
b. Determine the net pay for the week.
Net pay = $1,320 - ($1,320 * 6.0%) - ($1,320 * 1.5%) - $304 = $917.
Answer:
Small
Explanation:
Fixed costs are the costs that do not change when output level changes, while variable costs are costs that change as output quantity changes.
When a production process is capacity constrained, it implies that there is a factor that does not allow it to produce more output. Examples of such factors are minor bottlenecks, constrained designs and resources, and others.
A process is said to be efficient when it can avoid waste of resources in producing desired output.
Efficiency improvement therefore occurs when more output can be produced with less resources.
In the question, given that the process is currently capacity-constrained, efficiency improvement will result in producing more output at higher costs because of high variable costs despite that the process has low fixed costs.
As a result, the impact of an efficiency improvement will be small because producing more output will result in incurring higher cost due to high variable costs that change as quantity of output changes. That is, the impact of efficiency improvement will be small because high variable costs with low fixed cost will result in higher production cost.
Answer:
1. Neither ; 2. Consumer Surplus ; 3. Producer Surplus
Explanation:
Consumer Surplus is the difference between a good's price paid by consumer, & maximum price the consumer is willing to pay for the good.
Producer Surplus is the difference between a good's price received by a seller, & minimum price at which the seller is willing to sell the good.
1. Willing to pay $209 for watch, buyer willing to sell at $196, no trade as price ceiling at $190 : It illustrates neither concept as transaction has not actually occurred, so no price established.
2. Willing to pay $39 for sweater, purchased it for $32 : It illustrates 'Consumer Surplus' case = $7 , as it shows difference between maximum willingness to pay by buyer ($39) & the actual buy price ($32)
3. Willing to sell laptop at $190, sold it at $199 : It illustrates 'Producer Surplus' case = $9 , as it shows difference between minimum willingness to sell price ($190) & actual sale price ($199)
