Answer:

A- A change in the technology used by firms.

Explanation:

A change in technology can affect the demand of products and services. It can lead to the increased demand for a certain product, reducing the demand for an older product.

With the use of technology to upgrade products and services, demand curves will continually shift, according to preferences of customers.

Technology could be used by firms to produce upgrades and newer variations of products at more favorable prices for customers than existing products. This leads to competition and the demand for the newer device goes up since people see the new product as 'getting more for less'. A good example is computers and tablets. Tablets which could match up with the work of computers were produced at lower prices. This shifted the demand towards tablets, making computers more obsolete.

Answer:

the last part of the question is missing, so I looked for it:

a. Randy received $2,200 of interest this year and no other investment income or expenses. His AGI is $75,000.

b. Randy had no investment income this year, and his AGI is $75,000.

a) Randy can deduct $31,575:

the car loan interest is not deductible
he can deduct $4,725 - $2,200 = $2,525 as investment interest expense

b) Randy can deduct $29,050

the mortgage interest is deductible

Answer:

Authority - Responsibility Balance & Incentive Development.

Explanation:

Authority refers to the power to command, give orders to somebody. And enjoying the position of having right to get it obeyed.

Responsibility refers to being in a position of accountability, answerability for an allocated task or job & its performance.

For Eg : A manager given responsibility to complete a task of production targets achievement, is also given authority to command the entire staff at the production site.

Joe had problem while working for someone else that :- he had responsibility to complete employers allocated task, but may be not given enough authority to do so, thats why he felt he is being 'commanded by, working for' someone else. Also, he doesn't owe the rewards of his acts, so lacks incentive.

Being an entrepreneur will entitle him with managerial responsibilities, but at the same time will also give him higher authority to take his own independent decisions. And, he is himself responsible for his acts, will bear losses or enjoy profits for himself. So, it also incentivises him to work for himself.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer :

a) Economic Production Quantity = 1,612 monitors

b) Number of setups = 1.4

c) Total cost = $972.12 per year

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

a) Economic Production Quantity = sqrt((2 × annual demand × set up cost) ÷ carrying cost × (1 - daily demand ÷ daily production))

=sqrt((2 × 2,250 × $350) ÷ $0.80 × (1 - 35 ÷ 140))

= 1,620.19

= 1,621 monitors

b) Number of setups = Annual demand ÷ Economic production quantity

= 2,250 ÷ 1,621

= 1.3880

= 1.4

c) Formula of Total cost = Carrying cost + Annual setup cost

Carrying cost=(Economic production quantity ÷ 2) × Carrying cost × (1 - daily demand ÷ daily production)

= (1,612 ÷ 2)× $0.80 × (1 -35 ÷ 140)

= $486.30

Annual setup cost = (Annual demand ÷ Economic production quantity) × setup cost

= (2,250 ÷ 1,621) × $350

= $485.812

So, Total cost = $486.30 + $485.812

= $972.12 each year

We simply applied the above formulas
