b. jobs that are classified as part-time are jobs that can be done in a shorter amount of time than that of a full-time job, whereas job sharing creates one full-time position out of two part-time employees
Explanation:
Based on the scenario been described, we can say that the difference between part time job and job sharing is, jobs that are classified as part-time are jobs that can be done in a shorter amount of time than that of a full-time job, whereas job sharing creates one full-time position out of two part-time employees, so option b is the correct answer. In part-time job, job are done in short period of time, whereby the employee will come and do his/her job within a short period of time and leave, while job sharing is a full time job but is been shared among full time employees to do their turns.
Answer: Jessica's implicit costs are $46,000.
Implicit costs are the benefits that an individual gives up when they take a decision. Implicit costs are also known as opportunity costs.
In this case, Jessica will lose her salary of $40,000 each year. She will also lose the rent of $6000 a year from the building if she opens her fast food joint. So, total implicit costs are:
Answer:
B. $ 12 comma 600 comma 000
Explanation:
15,000 units x $700 cost per unit = 10,500,000 total cost
markup policy for the firm: 20% of total cost
the sales price will be the total cost for the order plus a 20% of that cost as a gross profit margin.
sales price = cost x (1 + 20%)
sales price = total cost x 1.20
sales price = 10,500,000 x 1.2 = 12,600,000
Answer:
A) taking the cost into account because money spent on pollution reduction is not available for other worthy activities.
Explanation:
The economic approach tries to find solutions for problems optimizing the use of economic resources, therefore reducing costs and increasing benefits for every dollar spent.
Resources are scarce and that includes everyone, from a normal individual, to the richest person in the world, or the richest country in the world. The economic approach states that we should all try to maximize the benefits we obtain while exchanging resources. For example, if we need to study for a text and we know that solving problems helps us to learn more than just reading, then we should spend more time solving problems than reading because that way we can increase our benefits.
The US government and every other government in the world works on a budget and the money it spends doing A, will not be spent doing B. So the government must decide which actions to take in order for maximizing the benefits of the population (i.e. choose between A or B depending on which causes the greatest common good).
