Answer:A pair of sandals.

Explanation:Its so obvious stating that the marginal utility derived from sandals is higher compared to the other two items. You maximize your utility by going for the item with highest satisfaction which is glaringly sandals.

In a homogeneous-good Cornet model where each of the n firms has a constant marginal cost m and the market demand curve is p = a
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n=1 (monopoly) we have Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}

Explanation:

In the case of a homogeneous-good Cournot model we have that firm i will solve the following profit maximizing problem

Max_{q_i} \,\, \Pi_i=(a-b(\sum_{i=1}^n q_i)-m)q_i

from the FPC we have that

a-b\sum_{i=1}^n q_i -m -b q_i=0

q_i=\frac{a-b \sum_{i=2}^n q_i-m}{2b}

since all firms are homogeneous this means that q_i=q \forall i

then q=\frac{a-b (n-1) q-m}{2b}=\frac{a-m}{(n+1)b}

the industry output is then

Q=nq=\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n=1 (monopoly) we have Q^M=\frac{1}{2}\frac{a-c}{b}

if n goes to infinity (approaching competitive level), we get the competition quantity that would be Q^c=\frac{a-c}{b}

Why delegate authority and not responsibility​
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Authorities can be assigned, but never delegated obligations. Subordinates are responsible for "results" and managers are responsible for their subordinates ' actions. You can't be held responsible for a mission if you have little competence.

Explanation:

The delegation lets you pass the power to professional team members to work on more urgent matters. But you are still responsible for doing these in the right way. It is therefore necessary to periodically track the status or interact with the team member

Let us recognize some of the fundamental principles to be observed in delegating: 1. The delegated authority to subordinates should be adequate to achieve the desired performance.

2. The power may be delegated but never assigned responsibility. Subordinate accountability is "efficiency" and managers are "responsible for their subordinates ' activities."

3. A duty can not be held accountable if it only has limited authority. A balance between authority and responsibility must be created.

4. A single superior's presence brings to mind the subordinate more personally responsible.

Explanation:

The following items which are excluded from the gross income are:

1. Tuition = $12,000

2. Books and supplies = $1,500

The total amount would be equal to

Dr. G, the principal at Westside High School Academy, is worried that the students who win academic awards might also be more li
rosijanka [135]

No, Dr G has nothing to worry about because only 8 students won the academic as well as fine arts award out of 128 academic award winners. This corresponds to very low percentage of joint winners out of just academic award winners (0.0625%)

Explanation:

Total students in the Westside High School- 768

Winner of academic awards- 128

Winner of fine arts awards- 48

Students who won both awards- 8

Dr G pre assumption= Dr G was worried that winner of academic awards would win fine awards more likely.

But it seems that his assumtions are wrong since only 8 students out of 128 students won joint awards (meaning only 8 students won awards for fine arts as well as academic awards). Similarly, this corresponds to only 0.0625% of students winning academic awards as well as Fine arts awards.
