Answer:

(A)Wages decrease in the long term

Explanation:

(A) The principles of supply and demand applies here.

Higher worker productivity in a particular industry implies increased demand for workers in the industry (short term effect).

Increased supply of workers implies:

1. output per worker increases, resulting in increase in supply of products in the industry. But, the laws of supply and demand comes in, because when supply increases, prices decrease.

That is, the increase in worker productivity may cause a decrease in prices resulting in a decrease in wages since the firm's revenue declined (long term effect).

2. Increase in the supply of workers in the industry with increased in productivity over workers from other industry because of initial increase in wages. This would lead to a decrease in wages because the supply of workers would exceed demand.

(B) The compensation differential is the additional amount of money that a given worker must be offered in order to motivate him to accept a given undesirable job, relative to other jobs that the worker could perform.

(C) This is called a derived demand because it is often based on the demand for products.

For example, when consumers want more of a particular good or service eg clothing, more firms in the industry will want workers that make this product.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

By formation of legally binding contract.

Explanation:

Contacts are a good way for procuring inputs that have well-defined and measurable quality specifications and require highly specialized investments. Because of the high quality expected in the goods procured, having a legally enforceable contact will make the vendor provide high quality products that meets required specifications.

However when contracts dictate a particular price, so if the market price of input were to go down we will still be obligated to buy at the higher price from the vendor.

A local club is selling Christmas trees and deciding how many to stock for the month of December. If demand is normally distribu
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

Data provided :

Mean = 100

Standard deviation = 20

Salvage value of the tree = $ 0

Actual cost of the tree = $ 20

Selling cost of the trees = $ 50

Now, the cost of shortage = Selling cost - actual cost = $ 50 - $ 20 = $ 30

and the outrage cost = actual cost = $ 20

Now,

the service level is calculated as:

service level = \frac{\textup{cost of shortage}}{\textup{cost of outrage + cost of shortage}}

on substituting the value, we get

service level = \frac{\$\ 30}{\$\ 20\ +\ \$\ 30}

or

Service level = 0.6
