4 0

Answer and Explanation:

I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:

The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.

The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.

The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.

The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.

Hence the answer is D.

Explanation:

The most suitable alternative is the letter C.<u> </u>The Theory X style of management.

Theory X can be defined as one of the currents of thought proposed by Douglas Mcgregor in 1960, and refers to assumptions about the behavior of employees in the workplace, this means that management must be developed from the actions and behaviors of employees , from there different styles of planning, controlling, organizing and dividing tasks will emerge.

In administration based on theory X, the individual is considered self-centered, without ambitions and needs supervision to exercise self-discipline and self-control. Economic benefits must be offered as a form of incentive and punishment.

According to theory X, employees avoid responsibility, so there must be economic incentives for them to be more ambitious and productive.

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

(a) Work/leisure choice

(b) Marketing strategy

Explanation:

Microeconomic issues relate to those that are within the scope and power of individuals, households and firms which means that problems here will relate to decisions that these participants make in relation to resource allocation.

Choices relating to leisure or work have to do with the individual and the resources they would need or derive from either work or leisure and so are a microeconomic problem.

The marketing strategy that a firm should pursue is related to an individual firm and so is a microeconomic problem as well.
