Answer:
Decision on the margins
Explanation:
Pool time seems to be having a greater effect at the moment, it makes sense for his to spend a bit more time in the pool and a bit less time on the bike.
However, this does not mean that it makes sense for her to spend all his time in the pool and no time on the bike. If he cut out all training on the bike, the value of a little bit of bike training might be higher than the value of the last hour of pool training. Dimitri does not treat biking versus swimming as an all-or-nothing decision. He makes small changes at the margin in the number of hours spent training for each activity.
Also they both realise that his time is fixed (20hrs) and anytime he wants to spend extra on one activit, is time he cannot spend on another (opportunity cost).
They are both trying to improve Dimitri's total time (exploiting opportunities to makes themselves better off).
An assumption that Dimitri realises that as he spends more time in the pool improving his swim time, his run and cycle times will suffer. As he swims more, his improvement is likely to slow down, while spending less time on cycling and running will cost him progressively more in terms of time.
Conclusion Dimitri is looking at the margins. His wife on the other hand, is not, she is ignoring the interaction, may be forgetting the decreasing improvements in swim and increasing deterioration in the other 2 legs.
Answer:
Both steps give candidates a realistic preview of the job.
Explanation:
When a manager from another restaurant says to you, "I’ve heard that Barcelona has a three-step hiring process. Candidates first have an interview in which Scott does most of the talking, and then they visit Barcelona restaurants and record their impressions. This seems like a lot of work. The basic purpose and logic behind these two steps is to give candidates a realistic preview of the job. With the help of these two steps in which candidates first have an interview with Scott and then visit Barcelona restaurants to get their impressions recorded, candidates can have a realistic, practical and genuine preview of the job. Candidates can come to know about the expectations which they can have from the job and the reality so they will not be surprised and shocked at all if their expectations does not meet the actual job's conditions and specifications.
Answer:
Jamal
Explanation:
Given that
Number of required slides = 50 slides
Creating slides Per hour = 15 slides
Bill amount per hour = $750
So by considering the above information, Bette's opportunity cost of creating slides would be
= Bill amount per hour ÷ creating slides per hour
= $750 ÷ 15 per hour
= $50
For making 50 slides, the opportunity cost would be
= $50 × 50 slides
= $2,500
And, Jamal opportunity cost is 30% lower, so it would be
= $50 - $50 × 30%
= $50 - $15
= $35
And, the billing rate is 25% higher, so it would be
= $750 + $750 × 25%
= $750 + $187.50
= $937.50
So in one hour, it would be
= $937.50 ÷ 35 slides
= 26 slides
Based on the creating slides, the Jamal gains a competitive advantage over Bette
Answer:
C) None of the $5,000 should be included in gross income.
Explanation:
During 2016, Sarah's itemized deductions (other than the stolen silverware) were only $2,000. If Sarah wanted to deduct the stolen silverware, she could have taken a casualty loss = $6,000 - $100 - $3,000 = $2,900. Her total itemized deductions would equal $2,000 + $2,900 = $4,900.
But during that year, Sarah should have opted for a standard deduction of $6,300 which is higher than her itemized deductions. That means that Sarah didn't claim any deduction for her silverware, so any money received from the insurance company should not be included in her gross income.
Answer:
LESSER THAN
Explanation:
During the Great Depression, it was a period of recession that meant that investments were low and less than savings which meant that 'household' was unwilling to invest its money as it had lost confidence in the American economy.
