Answer: Please refer to answer.

Explanation:

An Assumption in Economics is a condition that is necessary for Economic theory to be founded upon. You could call them SIMPLIFYING conditions as they make the Theory easier to understand.

Cause and Effect I hope and believe is self explanatory.

a. People behave rationally: ASSUMPTION.

This is a basic Assumption in Economics that helps to explain why and how Individuals react to certain things.

b. If the price of a good falls, people will consume more of that good: CAUSE AND EFFECT

People consume more goods (effect) when prices fall (cause).

c. Mass starvation will occur as population outgrows the food supply: CAUSE AND EFFECT .

Mass Starvation will occur (effect) if the population outgrows food(cause).

What is a BFOQ? Should BFOQs be allowed?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

In employment law, a bona fide occupational qualification (BFOQ) (US) or bona fide occupational requirement (BFOR) (Canada) or genuine occupational qualification (GOQ) (UK) is a quality or an attribute that employers are allowed to consider when making decisions on the hiring and retention of employees—a quality that when considered in other contexts would constitute discrimination and thus be in violation of civil rights employment law. Such qualifications must be listed in the employment offering.[citation needed]

Explanation:

Canada

The law of Canada regarding bona fide occupational requirements was considered in a 1985 Canadian court case involving an employee of the Canadian National Railway, K. S. Bhinder, a Sikh whose religion required that he wear a turban, lost his challenge of the CNR policy that required him to wear a hard hat.[1] In 1990, in deciding another case, the Supreme Court of Canada amended the Bhinder decision: "An employer that has not adopted a policy with respect to accommodation and cannot otherwise satisfy the trier of fact that individual accommodation would result in undue hardship will be required to justify his conduct with respect to the individual complainant. Even then the employer can invoke the BFOQ defence."[2]

United States

In employment discrimination law in the United States, both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act contain a BFOQ defense. The BFOQ provision of Title VII provides that:

[I]t shall not be an unlawful employment practice for an employer to hire and employ employees, for an employment agency to classify, or refer for employment any individual, for a labor organization to classify its membership or to classify or refer for employment any individual, or for an employer, labor organization, or joint labor-management committee controlling apprenticeship or other training or retraining programs to admit or employ any individual in any such program, on the basis of his religion, sex, or national origin in those certain instances where religion, sex, or national origin is a bona fide occupational qualification reasonably necessary to the normal operation of that particular business or enterprise ...[3]

Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,000 and a remaining useful life of four years.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Effect on income= -$18,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Granfield Company has a piece of manufacturing equipment with a book value of $36,000 and a remaining useful life of four years. At the end of the four years, the equipment will have a zero salvage value. The market value of the equipment is currently $21,200. Granfield can purchase a new machine for $112,000 and receive $21,200 in return for trading in its old machine. The new machine will reduce variable manufacturing costs by $18,200 per year over the four-year life of the new machine.

Year 0= -112,000 + 21,200= -90,800

Year 1 to 4= 18,200*4= 72,800

Effect on income= -90,800 + 72,800= -18,000
