<em>Possible reasons:</em>
The use of skilled workers who worked faster than the unskilled workers planed for
The workers were trained making them more efficient in saving time

If the Marginal Product of labor Falls, The Marginal Cost of Output RISES.

2. growth
3. maturity
4. decline

Answer and explanation:
The influence a company may have over another when one of them has a number of shares that belongs to the other is determined by the percentage of ownership that the number of shares represent. If its lower than 20%, it is said the company has <em>no influence</em> over the other. From 20% to 50% one company has <em>significant influence</em> over the other. Finally, with more than 50% of the outstanding shares in possession, one company has <em>control </em>over the other.
In that case, CBS Corp. has no influence over Westwood One, Inc. since it owns only 18% of the outstanding shares.
