Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

If the restrictions on working hours are removed such that keeping other factors constant, the total number of hours worked increases. This will cause the total output to increase.  

But the workers will not be able to work efficiently for longer hours. This will cause productivity to decline.  

This happens because working for long hours will make the workers tired. Their health is negatively impacted so their productivity will decline.

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The number of kanban containers needed for the wheels is 4.2 containers

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of kanban containers needed for the wheels we would have to calculate the following formula:

number of kanban containers needed for the wheels=Demand rate*(Average processing time+Average waiting time)*(1+Alpha)/Container size

According to the given data we have the following:

Demand rate = 2000 per day

Average processing time= 0.15 day

Average waiting time = 0.25 day

Container size= 200

Alpha= 5%

Therefore, number of kanban containers needed for the wheels=2,000*(0.15+0.25)*(1+0.05)/200

number of kanban containers needed for the wheels=4.2 containers

The number of kanban containers needed for the wheels is 4.2 containers

The Three Amigos Restaurant just paid an annual dividend of $4.20 per share and is expected to pay annual dividends of $4.40 and
shusha [124]

Answer:

$33.93

Explanation:

First, find the present value of each year's dividend at 15% required rate of return;

(PV of D1 ) = 4.40 / (1.15) = 3.8261

(PV of D2 ) = 4.50 / (1.15²) = 3.4026

Next, find terminal Cashflow;

D3 = D2 (1+g)

D3 = 4.50 (1.02) = 4.59

(PV of D4 onwards ) = \frac{\frac{4.59}{0.15-0.02} }{(1.15)^{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{35.3077}{1.3225} \\ \\ = 26.6977

Next sum up the PVs to find price;

=3.8261 + 3.4026 + 26.6977

= 33.926

Therefore, this stock is worth $33.93 today

The town of snowville is concerned that its rental property market is overpriced. the demand for rental housing is p = 48 - 2q,
goblinko [34]
For this case what you should do is to clear q in both equations with a price of p = 16 $
 We have then:
 For the demand
 p = 48 - 2q
 q = (48 - p) / 2
 q = (48 - 16) / 2
 q = 16
 For the supply:
 p = 12 + q
 q = p-12
 q = 16-12
 q = 4
 Answer:
 if the town imposes a price ceiling of 16 dollars, and the quantity demand will be 16 while quantity supply will be 4.

Two firms compete in a market to sell a homogeneous product with inverse demand function P = 600 – 3Q. Each firm produces at a c
podryga [215]

Answer:

Explanation:

We need to find the function of firm 1 and firm 2 which we have as

PQ1/Q1= 300

600Q1– 3Q21 – 3Q1Q2/ = 300

300 – 6Q1 – 3Q2= 300

Q1 = 1/6(600 -300 – 3Q2)

Q1 = 50 – 1/2Q2 Reaction function for firm 1

Q2 = 50 – 1/2Q1 Reaction function for firm 2

Cournot which we have as;

Q2 = = 1/6(600 -300 – 3Q1)

Q2 = 50 – 1/2Q1

Q2 = 50 – ½(50 – 1/2Q1)

Q2 = 50 – 25 + 1/4Q1

Q1 = 100/3 = 33.33 Output

Q2= 100/3 = 33.33 Output

Equilibrium market price which is

P = 600 – 3(Q2+ Q2)600 – 3(100/3 + 100/3)= 400

Profits for firm 1

Π1 = TR1– C1= PQ1 – C1=400 * 100/3 – 300 * 100/3= 10000/3 = $3,333.33 For firm 1

Profits for firm 2

Π2 = TR2– C2= PQ2 – C2=400 * 100/3 – 300 * 100/3= 10000/3 = $3,333.33 For firm 2

Stackelberg is given as ;

QL= (600 – 300)/2*3 = 50 Firm 1 output is QL = 50

QF= (600 – 300)/4*3 = 25 Firm 2 output is QF =25 P = 600 – 3*75 = 375

Π1 = (375-300) * 50 = 3750Profit for firm 1

Π2 = 75*25 = 1875 Profit for firm 2

Bertrand is given as ;

Under this competition, price is the same to marginal cost and profits are zero

600 – 3Q = 300

Q = 100 Output = 100

P = Zero

Collusive Behavior is given as;

MR=MC600 - 6Q = 300

300 = 6QQ = 50 Output

P = 600 – 3*50 = 450

Π = (450 – 300) * 50 = 7,500profit
