Answer: The rate at which he is willing to substitute one good for the other

Explanation: Indifference curve shows the combination of two goods that give the consumer the same level of satisfaction. the slope of this indifference curve shows how much the consumer is willing to substitute one good for the other in order to keep utility constant.

Slope= \frac{Change in x}{Change in y}

Slope of Indifference curve for soda and chips shows how much soda Timothy is willing to substitute to get 1 additional unit of chips.

Slope=\frac{Unit of soda foregone}{Units of chips gained}

So, the correct option is the rate at which he is willing to substitute one good for the other.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

Item 1Item 1 Thomas invests $109 in an account that pays 6 percent simple interest. How much money will Thomas have at the end o
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Total amount at the end of 4 years = $135.16

Explanation:

A simple interest account pays interest on only the sum deposited at an annual rate for a specified period of time without compounding or adding the interest earned in a particular period in the calculation of interest earning for the next period. Thus, if 1000 is invested and interest s earned at 10% then the interest earned will remain constant for every period the money is still deposited in the account.

The formula to calculate interest under simple interest method is,

Interest = Principal * Annual Rate * Time in years

Total Interest earned = 109 * 6% * 4

Total interest earned = 26.16

Total amount at the end of 4 years = Principal + Interest

Total amount at the end of 4 years = 109 + 26.16

Total amount at the end of 4 years = $135.16
