Consider the economies of Hermes and Gobbledigook, both of which produce gobs of goo using only tools and workers. Suppose that,

during the course of 20 years, the level of physical capital per worker rises by 4 tools per worker in each economy, but the size of each labor force remains the same. Complete the following tables by entering productivity (in terms of output per worker) for each economy in 2016 and 2036.
Year Hermes
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 11 30 3,000
2036 15 30 3,600
Year Gobbledigook
Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity
(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)
2016 8 30 2,400
2036 12 30 3,600
Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a_______ amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect_______which makes it______for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

Answer:

Hermes

Productivity (Gobs per worker)

2016    100

2036    120

Gobbledigook

Productivity

(Gobs per worker)

2016    80

2036    120

Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER  amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect OF CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

Explanation:

Hermes

Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity

(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)

2016    11    30      3,000  3,000/30=100

2036    15     30     3,600  3,600/30=120

Gobbledigook

Year Physical Capital Labor Force Output Productivity

(Tools per worker) (Workers) (Gobs of goo) (Gobs per worker)

2016   8   30   2,400 2,400/30=80

2036 12    30 3,600   3,600/30=120

Initially, the number of tools per worker was higher in Hermes than in Gobbledigook. From 2016 to 2036, capital per worker rises by 4 units in each country. The 4-unit change in capital per worker causes productivity in Hermes to rise by a SMALLER  amount than productivity in Gobbledigook. This illustrates the effect of CATCH UP which makes it POSSIBLE for countries with low output to catch up to those with higher output.

The impacts of the fur trade on society in terms of economics, culture, technology, nature, and the government changed over the time.

Rockefeller never act unethically by the standards of his day or today´s.

There is nocontradiction between his personal and business ethics.

Explanation:

The fur trade was a vast commercial enterprise, which was at its peak for nearly 250 years, from the early 17th to the mid-19th centuries, sustained to satisfy the demand in an intensely competitive trade which opened exploration and settlement, financing missionary work, established social, economic and colonial relationships between Europeans and Indigenous people.

Changing cultural in the fashion industry, has had a drastic evolution over the years, when a woman in the first half of the twentieth century , might be very proud to wear a fox stole with its head and feet intact but today, it would consider  that an ethical faux pas.

Ethics has become a major consideration for young people in their selection of work and career, who demand enshrined values in their business  model, a difference, contributing with their core values, conscience, and personality not just profit.By the standards of his day Rockefeller, a faithful, balanced and devout Christian, was not being unethical as he always followed his-time regulations and laws, although nowadays they are more severe.  He compensated all the things he did, if wrong, with his contributions to help people cope with any damage done. There is no contradiction behe did as he had been taught when he was younger that he should separate business from pleasure.

The answer to the blank space is data.

The contents of the spreadsheet are the annual record of airfares to different cities from Chicago. This is what we call data – which are facts or statistics collected together for reference or analysis. Since Silway Travels plans to use the annual record information to contrast airfares during peak and off-season, it is clear that the data in this case would be used for analysis.
