Answer:

Reduce the labor employed.

Explanation:

Generally the profit maximizing level of activity is where the marginal revenue product of labor is equal to or greater than the wage rate paid. This means that the 5th worker is actually not generating any positive revenue for the farmer as its contribution to revenue is,

Total contribution = Marginal product * price = 3 * 2 = $6

Where as wage paid is $10 thus it gives a contribution of 6-10 = -$4.

Thus the farmer is advised to reduce labor employed.

Hope this helps.

Companies Heidee and Leaudy are virtually identical in that they are both profitable, and they have the same total assets (TA),
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

e. Company Heidee has a higher ROE than Company Leaudy.

Explanation:

Return on equity measures how well the management of a business uses owner's equity to get returns. It is calculated by dividing net income by owner's equity.

That is

ROE= Net Income ÷ Owner's equity

Considering the accounting equation

Asset= Liability + Owner equity

Owner equity= Asset - Liability

From the equation when a company that take on more debt owner's equity will reduce.

The effect of reduction in owner's equity on Return on Equity is that it will increase the ratio, since owner's equity is the denominator.

In this scenario both companies have the same profit margin so if company Heidee has higher debt ratio it follows that it also has a higher ROE than Company Leaudy
