Answer:

In business, efficiency means how well you use available resources in order to maximize results (or profits if you like). Effectiveness, on the other hand, refers to how well your company is carrying out is activities, e.g. high quality of your products, high customer satisfaction.

If I managed a car wash, I could measure efficiency by how many cars are washed per hour. Or how do our costs per car washed lower as the total amount of cars washed increases.

If I wanted to measure effectiveness, I would need to measure how well do we wash the cars, e.g. is our service excellent, good, regular, or bad. Our customers are satisfied with the way we wash their cars or not.

What is the difference between a checking account debit card and a gift card?
vekshin1
A gift card is something that anyone, of any age, can buy. This card works only at the certain business it is for. Such as a Burger King gift card, you can only use that card at Burger King. A checking account debit card is a card you can use in any situation, as long as they have the proper equipment. This card extracts money from your banking account, whereas the gift card has a set amount of money on it. Also, a checking account debit card is only given to people 18 and over, since signing a check is technically signing a contract, and using a debit card goes along the same lines as signing a check.

In order to produce 100 pairs of oven gloves, Marcia incurs an average total cost of $2.50 per pair. Marcia’s marginal cost is c
anygoal [31]

Answer:

option (d) $200.00

Explanation:

Average total cost for 100 pairs = $2.50

Marginal cost for every pair = $10.00

Now,

Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost

or

Fixed cost = Total cost - variable cost

or

Fixed cost = (Average total cost × 100) - (Marginal cost × 100)

= ($2.5 × 100) - ($1 × 100)  

= $250 - $100  

= $150

thus,

Total cost to produce 50 pairs of oven gloves

= fixed cost + variable cost

= $150 + (50 × $1)

= $150 + $50

= $200

Hence,

option (d) $200.00

At a growth (interest) rate of 8 percent annually, how long will it take for a sum to double? To triple? Use Appendix A for an a
Yanka [14]

Answer:

n =   ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)

Explanation:

Compound interest rate

A = P × (1 + r)^{n}

where

P = principal amount (the initial amount you borrow or deposit)

r  = annual rate of interest (as a decimal)

A = amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.

n  =  number of years

Since we want the principle amount to double i.e., A = 2P

put this in above equation

2P = P × (1 + r)^{n}

divide both sides by P, we get

P = (1 + r)^{n}

put r = 0.08

P = (1 + 0.08)^{n}

P = (1 .08)^{n}

Taking log on both sides

㏒ P =㏒ (1 .08)^{n}

㏒ P = n ㏒ (1.08)

n =   ㏒ P ÷ ㏒ (1.08)
