Answer:

D) 25%

Explanation:

Productivity can be described as a measure of profitability of the work done by a company. For example a sales department may measure productivity by number of closed sales in a week.

In this instance the cleaning company will consider cost reduction an increase in productivity.

They were using 10 lbs each for house A, B, and C (30 lbs). An additional 10 lb is used increasing total chemicals used to 40 lb.

The increase in chemical usage is a drop in productivity for the company as they are spending more.

The percentage drop in productivity is a proportion of the additional quantity of chemical to total chemicals used.

Percentage drop in productivity= (10/40)*100= 25%

On January 1, 2015, East Lansing, Inc, issues $2,000,000 of 10 percent, 5-year bonds that pay interest of $100,000 semiannually.
Trava [24]

Answer:

The answer is option D

Explanation:

The bond can be issued at par, at a discount or at a premium depending on the coupon rate and the market interest. The price of the bond which pays semi annual coupon can be calculated using the formula of bond price. The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.

First we need to determine the semi annual coupon payment, periods and YTM.

Semi annual coupon payments = 2000000 * 0.1 * 6/12 = 100000

Semi annual periods = 5 * 2 = 10

Semi annual YTM = 0.08 * 6/12 = 0.04

Bond Price = 100000 * [(1 - (1+0.04)^-10) / 0.04]  +  2000000 / (1+0.04)^10

Bond Price = $2162217.916

The price of the bond is thus $2162290 approx. The difference in answers is due to rounding off.

pure monopolist who is nondiscriminating must decrease price on all units of a product sold in order to sell additional units. T
coldgirl [10]

Answer: b. Marginal revenue is less than average revenue

Explanation:

Marginal revenue is the extra revenue received by selling one more unit of a good while Average revenue is the revenue generated on average by all units sold thus far.

If the monopolist has to reduce prices to sell more goods then it would mean that for every unit sold, the price would have reduced compared to the price of the last unit which translates to less revenue coming in per unit compared to the last unit.

On the other hand, on average, the higher prices of the earlier goods sold would keep the average revenue higher than the additional revenue (marginal revenue).
