Three explorers are getting kidnapped by an evil tribe deep in the jungle, and their life now depends on their ability to correc

tly answer the following challenge the evil tribe's chief has for them. The explorers are tied to three trees facing each other and are presented with the chief's 5 wives: 3 brunettes, and 2 blondes. The three explorers are now blindfolded, and the chief picks three of his five wives to stand behind the trees the explorers are tied to, one behind each tree. The remaining two wives disappear from view. Then the blindfolds come off, and each explorer is able to see the two wives that are standing behind his two colleagues, but not the one behind himself. Each explorer now has up to 10 minutes time to think, after which each has to correctly answer what hair color the wife has that is standing behind him, or lose his life. When you, as one of the three explorers, gain your sight after the blindfold comes off, you see two brunettes standing behind your two colleagues. And now your life depends on figuring out who is behind you: a blonde or a brunette?

Answer:

Brunette

Explanation:

Originally there were 3 brunettes and 2 blondes. If once you are able to see, you realize that 2 brunettes are standing behind your friends, that means that behind you there could be one of two blondes or the remaining brunette.

The possibility of the wife behind you being a blonde is 2/3 or 67%, while the chance of her being brunette is only 33%. But this question is not about probability, instead it is about game strategy. I would bet that the wife behind me is a brunette.

Imagine that the two women that you saw were blondes, then you would immediately say brunette. Even if you only saw one blonde wife, your obvious choice would be brunette. This applies to all 3 friends and the chief is gambling against you all 3. He will not give any of you any type of advantage.

hodyreva [135]

Answer: $1,000

Explanation:

Given Data;

Total government demand is Q = 800 -10P

marginal cost (Mc) = $50

contracted price (cp) = $70 per unit

Therefore;

Marginal Revenue ( MR ) = Marginal Cost ( MC)

Q = 800 -10P

800 - Q = 10P

Divide through by 10, where Q = 1

800/10 - 1/10 = P

80 - 0.1Q = P

Total Revenue(TR) = PQ

TR = 80 - 0.1Q

MR = MC

where MC = $50

80 - 0.1Q = 50

Collecting like terms

80 - 50 = 0.1Q

30 = 0.1 Q

Divide both side by 0.1

Q = 300

Price would be

P = 80 - 0.1Q

P = 80 - 0.1(300)

P = $50

MC = 40

Producing Q units

Total Cost (TC ) = 40 * ( 300 )

= $12,000

Total profit

= TR - TC

= ( P * Q ) - $12,000

= ( $50 * 300 ) - $12,000

= $15,000 - $12,000

= $3,000

Changes caused by regulations

Contracted price = $70

Quantity = 100Units

TT’ = ( P * Q ) - TC

= ( 70 * 100 ) - ( 50 * 100 )

= $7,000 - $5,000

= $2,000

TT - TT’ = $ ( 3000 - 2000 )

= $1,000

If legislation is passed all profit would reduce by $1,000

Which of these statements is false? A company comparison should not be made with industry averages if the company does not clear
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

A company comparison should not be made with industry averages if the company does not clearly fit into any one industry.

Explanation:

In Business management, it is important to note that many companies will not clearly fit into any one industry.

Hence, when using industry averages, it is often necessary to use an industry that the firm best fits rather than randomly picking up any industry. Additionally, the analysis of an organization's financial statements would be more meaningful if the results are compared with industry averages and with results of competitors.

Any financial service sought after, should use its best judgment by analyzing and identifying which industry the firm best fits.
