Answer:

A. 4; 3.83 units per hour

B. Increases by 4.44%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current period:

Output = 160 units

Input = 40 hours

Previous period:

Output = 138 units

Input = 36 hours

A. Current period productivity:

= Current period output ÷ Current period input

= 160 units ÷ 40 hours

= 4 units per hour

Previous period productivity:

= Previous period output ÷ Previous period input

= 138 units ÷ 36 hours

= 3.83 units per hour

B. Percentage change in worker's productivity:

= [(change in productivity) ÷ Previous period productivity] × 100

= [(4 - 3.83) ÷ 3.83] × 100

= (0.17 ÷ 3.83) × 100

= 0.0444 × 100

= 4.44%

Therefore, the worker's productivity increases by 4.44%.

Que consecuencias podria tener una subita caida del valor de las acciones para quienes compraban acciones con prestamos
diamong [38]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

No especificas el país o la Bolsa de Valores en específico, ni una fecha determinada, por lo que responderemos en términos generales.

Las consecuencias que podría tener una súbita caída del valor de las acciones para quienes compraban acciones con prestamos es que pierdan una gran parte del valor en lo que tenían invertido por la repentina caída de los precios en la Bolsa.

Además, si compraron las acciones con préstamos, la consecuencia también es que no van a tener la liquidez suficiente para poder enfrentar los pagos de esos préstamos o por lo menos, los pagos de los intereses, aunque no puedan pagar también al capital, para poder disminuir su deuda.

Este es el problema tan recurrente y grave que se presenta en los mercados de valores de cualquier Bolsa a nivel mundial. Es tan manipulable que cualquier variable hace que de repente el valor de una acción suba sin precedentes, pero al siguiente instante se desplome todavía más rápido sin mayor justificación válida.
