Which of the following explains why a recipe is considered an algorithm?

1. If the government decides to subsidize the production of a good, the result would be a decrease in the equilibrium price and

Crazy boy [7]

Answer: False

Explanation:

When the government subsidies production of a good, it leads to a rise in the supply of the good. The supply curve shifts down to the right leading to a <em>fall in the price level</em>. But the <em>equilibrium quantity increases</em>.

Thus, the given statement is false that if the government decides to subsidize the production of a good, the result would be a decrease in the equilibrium price and a decrease in the equilibrium quantity.

Liberty Insurance Company processes applications forms. The average output in a week is 600 claims. Currently the staff includes

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Output = 600 claims

Input = (18*6*40) + 1200 = $5520

Cost per application = $9.2 is the cost per claim

Productivity ratio = 600 / 5520 = 0.1086

Explanation:

The productivity of the application process = total weekly cost incurred / weekly application output

Here we have average output of 600 application per week

And cost we have,

Total cost = weekly staff cost + weekly cost on computer technology

Weekly staff cost = 40 hours * 6 staff * $18 per hour rate = $ 4,320

Weekly cost on computer technology = $ 1200

Total cost = $4320 + $ 1200 = $5,520

Now productivity = $ 5,520 / 600 application = $ 9.2

Or we can say that it takes $ 9.2 to process one application

(b) Here we have average output of 650 application per week

And cost we have,

Total cost = weekly staff cost + weekly cost on computer technology

Weekly staff cost = 40 hours * 5 staff * $18 per hour rate = $ 3,600 ( assumed that one staff is reduced as one application evaluator is retiring and not replaced)

weekly cost on computer technology = $ 1800

Total cost = $3,600 + $ 1800 = $5,400

Now productivity = $ 5,400 / 650 application = $ 8.31

Or we can say that it takes $ 8.31 to process one application

Percentage change in productivity ={ ($8.31 – $ 9.2 )/ $ 8.31 } * 100 = - 10.71%

Means that the cost has reduced by 10.71 % by the new process

You notice that when customers have too many choices, they are less likely to make a decision about what to buy, so you tell all

grin007 [14]

Answer:

This statement falls under Classical Management Theory

Explanation:

In this case, managers want to help customers in making their choices easy and simple for them. Yes, its very much true that too many choices create ambiguity, it becomes very hard for the customers to choose from overload of choices, that's the reason Apple only came with one phone model, iPhone. Furthermore, managers want employees to help customers, therefore, they have linked their motivation directly with the incentives and commissions, which directly falls under the classical management theory, which says that employees have certain economic and physical needs which they have to meet and fulfill. Moreover, classical management theory also helps us in the areas of leadership, specialization of labor, profits, and decision making. Here managers want to streamline their operations as well, which is also another feature of management theory.

You got asked to analyze a 5-year project for your firm. The project produces an annual revenue of $28,000, but requires an annu

irina [24]

Answer:

The interest rate is i = 53.82%

Explanation:

Initail cost = 18.000

Salvage value = 0

Life = 5 years

Annual revenue = 28000

Annual cost = 6000

Net revenue = 28000 - 6000 = 22000

Tax rate = 40%

Depreciation per year = (Purchase value - Salvage value ) / life = 18000 / 5 = 3600

Taxable income = Net cash flow - Depreciation = 22000 - 3600 = 18400

Tax = Tax rate * Taxable income = 0.4 * 18400 = 7360

ATCF = Taxable income - Tax + Depreciation = 18400 - 7360 + 3600 = 10960

Let IRR be i%, then,

-18000 + 10960 * (P/A, i%, 5) = 0

(P/A, i%, 5) = 18000 / 10960 = 1.642336

Using trail and error method

When i = 50% , value of (P/A, i%, 5) = 1.736626

When i = 51% , value of (P/A, i%, 5) = 1.711012

When i = 53% , value of (P/A, i%, 5) = 1.661749

When i = 54% , value of (P/A, i%, 5) = 1.638054

Using interpolation

i = 53% + (1.661749 - 1.642336) / (1.661749 - 1.638054) *(54% - 53%)

i = 53% + 0.819%

i = 53.82%
