The answer for Penn Foster is NOT SHOES. It should be CORN the reason being in section 1.4 it states that

An inelastic supply is one for which it's difficult to

increase production, even with a large increase in price.

The correct answer is C,
A good is said to have an inelastic supply if the suppliers did not have any choice than producing it even though the cost of production is high and the buyers did not have any choice than buying it even though it is expensive.
No one can do without shoes, even if they are expensive, we still need to buy them.

There is a 4 percent error rate at a specific point in the production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the
Vsevolod [243]

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

The given data is as follows:

Error rate = 4%, per hour payment of inspector = $8, inspection of units = at the rate of 49 per hour, cost = $9 per unit

The problem can be solved as considering an opportunity to have an improvement of 4% in the quality.

In case inspector is not hired then it will cost .04 multiply 9= $.3.6 per unit and in case the inspector is hired it will cost $ 0.163 approx.(8 divided by 49).

Therefore, on comparison, it is recommended to hire the inspector.

Opportunity cost is defined as A. the monetary expense associated with an activity. B. the highest valued alternative that must
Ratling [72]

Answer:

B. the highest valued alternative that must be given up to engage in an activity.

Explanation:

Opportunity Cost is the cost of next best alternative foregone while choosing an alternative.

Eg1: If I like Chapati more than rice & rice more than curd, the opportunity cost of consuming chapati is the next best option i.e rice.

Eg2 : Working as school teacher with salary 20000, next best option salary as coaching tutor i.e 10000 is the Opportunity Cost

A is inapt : Opportunity cost can be monetary or non monetary. Eg2 has monetary opportunity cost. But, Eg 1 has opportunity cost in terms of rice' (sacrifised) satisfaction.

C is inapt : Opportunity cost is only the cost of next best alternative & not all alternatives. Eg1 - Curd i.e 3rd best option after chapati, is not the opportunity cost after chapati.

For an analysis of the salaries of your​ company, you plot the salaries of all employees against the number of years they have w
Arisa [49]

Answer:

1. That values that you must plot are:

  • (1, 4.08))
  • (20, 5.08)
  • (40, 6.18)

2. Yes, the plot of those three points is straight enough.

Explanation:

<em><u>A. What are the values you will​ plot? </u></em>

The x-ccordinate of your plot is still the number of years the exmployees have worked for the company.

The y-coordinate of your plot is the the​ base-10 logarithm of  the salary.

Therefore:

<u>1) A​ part-time shipping​ clerk</u>: 1 year, $12,000

           ⇒     (1,log_{10}12,000)=(1,4.08)

<u>2) A manager</u>: 20 years, $120,000

  ⇒     (20,log_{10}120,000)=(20,5.08)

<u>3) The​ CEO</u>: 40 years​ ago, $1,500,000

  ⇒     (40,log_{10}1,500,000)=(40,6.18)

Summarizing, the points to plot are:

  • (1, 4.08)
  • (20, 5.08)
  • (40, 6.18)

<u><em>B. Will the plot of these three points be straight​ enough?</em></u>

To find whether the plot is straight enoguh, you may either plot them, make a regression, or, since they are only three points, you can whether the change of rate of the points is constant.

  • <u>Change of rate of the first two points, r</u>:

       r = rise/run = Δy / Δx = (5.08 - 4.08) / (20 - 1) =1.00/19 ≈ 0.05

  • <u>Change of rate of the second and the third points, r</u>:

       r = rise/run = Δy / Δx = (6.18 - 5.08) / (20 - 1) = 0.05

Since both rate of changes are equal (or reasonably equal) the plot is  straight enough.

Phoenix Agency leases office space for $7,700 per month. On January 3, Phoenix incurs $105,600 to improve the leased office spac
nadezda [96]

Answer:

$13,200 per year

Explanation:

Amount incurred to improve the office space = $

Improvement expected to yield benefit = 10 years

Remaining life on it's lease = 8 years

Since the office space is not going to remain with Phoenix after the lease period, it means that the improvement expenses will be expensed over the remaining lease period I.e 8 years.

Therefore, the amount of expense that should be recorded the first year related to improvements can be calculated as;

= Amount incurred to improve the office space ÷ remaining life on its lease

= $105,600 ÷ 8

= $13,200 per year
