Answer:

Specialization and the division of labor can increase productivity.

Explanation:

Specialization is about an <em>invidivual</em> focusing on very specific tasks that are best suited to them according to their skills and knowledge. This concept can be applied to <em>companies</em> and <em>countries</em>, as they specialize on producing a small amount of products they excel at, for having the raw material, knowledge and/or technology to do so.

The division of labor is about breaking down the production process of a good in <em>different parts</em> performed by <em>different people</em> instead of having all workers performing all the tasks. The idea is to let workers be <em>specialists</em> in a small amout of tasks so that they can be more efficient and overall productivity can be greatly increased. This concept was introduced by the <u>'father of economics'</u> Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations" released in 1776.

Specialization and division of labor are complementing concepts that bring a company an increase in productivity and helps achieve economies of scale.

liraira [26]

Answer:

price increases and Ed equals -2.47

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price.

Demand is inelastic if a change in price has little or no effect on quantity demanded. The absolute value of the coefficient for inelastic demand is less than 1.

If price increases and demand is inelastic, total revenue would increase because there would-be little or no change in quantity demanded as a result of the price increase.

Demand is elastic if a small change in price has a greater effect on the quantity demanded.

The absolute value of the coefficient for elastic demand is greater than 1.

If demand is elastic and price is deceased, revenue would rise because of the increase in Quanitity demanded as a result of the fall in price.

Harry Trading Company must choose its optimal capital structure. Currently, the firm has a 20 percent debt ratio and the firm ex
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

They should not make the change because the price of the stocks will decrease.

Explanation:

the current price of the stocks using the perpetuity formula = dividend / required rate of return

current price with current capital structure = $5.64 / 0.123 = $45.85

if the company changes its capital structure by increasing debt, the price of the stocks will be

$5.92 / 0.136 = $43.53

since the price of the stocks would actually decrease if the capital structure changes, the change should not be made. The stockholders' wealth is measured by the price of the stocks, and if the price of the stocks decreases, then the stockholders' wealth also decreases.
