Answer: "Laws passed by the federal government often provide benefits for a small number of individuals. These individuals, in turn, have an incentive to contribute to the campaigns of politicians who pass these laws."

Rent seeking can be said to be a process of obtaining economic rent by manipulating the social or political environment in which economic activities occur, rather than by creating new wealth.

An example of rent seeking is when

Laws passed by the federal government which often provide benefits for a small number of individuals. These individuals, in turn, have an incentive to contribute to the campaigns of politicians who pass these laws.

Answer and Explanation:

a. The estimation of the contribution margin for each segment is shown below:

                                                     (in millions)

<u>Particulars            Investor Advisor             Services Services   </u>

Income from

operations              $1,681                                  $1,660

Add:

Depreciation           $171                                     $154

Contribution

Margin                    $1,852                                  $1,814

2. Now the estimation of decline in operating income is

                                                   (in millions)

<u>Particulars         Combined services          Institutional Services   </u>

Revenues          $9,368                                $4,771

Less:

Variable cost    $5,702                                 $2,919

                    ($2,919 + $2,783)

Contribution

margin               $3,666                                 $1,852

Less:

Fixed cost         -$325                                    -$171

Net income        $3,341                                  $1,681

So according to the above calculations, the net operating income is declined by

= $3,341 - $1,681

= $1,660 million

The variable cost is come from

choli [55]

Answer:

1 → A ; 2 → C ; 3 → D ; 4 → B

Explanation:

From the given information, the table can be better structured as follows:

                       Job (Hours)

Resource               A                B               C                  D

1                              5                8                7                   7

2                             4                9                5                   9

3                             6                9                8                   7

4                             7                 6                6                   9

From the table, the allocation of resources is based on the minimum number of jobs i.e. time(hours) required to do all four tasks appropriately.

These are 1 → A ; 2 → C ; 3 → D ; 4 → B

Then, the time taken by this process is = (5 + 5 + 7 + 6)

= 23 hours
