Answer:
All of the above are true.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing returns was first formulated by the classic economist David Ricardo. It presupposes a technical relationship between input and output, which is not scientifically demonstrable but only empirically. In practice, in a generic production system, at any contribution of any factor, that is, land, labor, capital, machines, etc. there is no proportionally increasing production increase.
Normally it is assumed that the law does not always come into operation but only when the variable input exceeds a certain threshold. For example, the increase of workers on an assembly line certainly allows a proportional increase in production, but only until the entire system begins to suffer from malfunctions due to logistics or work organization, precisely because of the its getting bigger. Large industrial plants have shown that they must be divided into sections, however coordinated, precisely because of the decreasing returns. This is because the increase in the number of workers and the mass of the plants does not correspond to a consequent increase in production.
Answer and Explanation:
By publishing the "List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor" the American government is able to raise awareness among the population that, although child labor is something inconceivable in American society, it still happens with great intensity in various places around the world. This allows the population to become aware of this situation and to stop buying products produced by companies that finance and allow child labor to happen. When they stop using these products, companies suffer a decrease in demand, which can cause significant changes in the production and in the lives of children who need to work.
While consumer pressure at companies that allow child labor is effective, pressure from political and commercial authorities is more effective in bringing about change and ensuring the protection of children, as these authorities can promote severe punishments for those who allow this to happen.
Answer: $27,864
Explanation:
The amount that should be recorded as other comprehensive income is the fair value less the sales price and the amortized premiums to reflect the true value of the investment,
= 1,164,000 - 1,129,896 - 3,048 - 3,192
= $27,864
$27,864 is the amount Crane Company should report as other comprehensive income and as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.
