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%

A firm currently produces 3,500 units of output per week. After an additional worker is hired, output rises to 3,750 units per w
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

C. $2

Explanation:

The marginal cost is the cost for producing an additional unit of the product. According to this and as the statement says that with the additional worker the output rises to 3,750, teh first thing is to find the number of additional units that were produced:

3,750-3500= 250

With the new worker, the firm produces an additional 250 units that cost $500 because this is the salary of the new worker and to calculate the cost of one additional unit you have to do the following:

250 units ⇒ $500

     1 unit  ⇒      x

x=( 1*500)/250= 2

The firm's short-run marginal cost is $2.

Nata [24]

Answer:

B. $12,000 is a sunk cost

Explanation:

By considering the given information, the cost that is correct is a sunk cost for $12,000

The sunk cost is the cost already incurred and will not be retrieved in the future. Plus, it's also termed a past cost.  

It is a useless cost and it can be avoided also.  

It is that cost that is not considered at the time of decisions making.

So, option B is correct

Insurance policies often contain a covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Even if the clause is not in the policy, often court
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The <em>covenant of good faith and fair dealing</em> simply requires all the parties to a contract to deal in an even-handed manner such that one party's action does not frustrate the other or prevent the other from getting the benefits of that contract.

In insurance, this covenant is sometimes captured under the heading <em>Uberrima fides</em>. This is a Latin phrase meaning <em>"Utmost Good Faith".</em>

In insurance, this covenant is legally binding on all parties to ensure they each reveal every information that is material to the acceptance or rejection of the risk (on the part of the Insurer) whilst on the part of the Insured the insurer is required to be explicit regarding the terms of the policy as well as the calculations by which the premium is arrived at.

For example, if an Insurance company is looking at covering someone under it's Life Insurance Policy, the person taking out the contract must disclose whether or not the Insured has any latent health issues which might shorten their lifespan. If there is such a condition, the Insurance company may still take on the risk albeit at a relatively higher rate than a client without such medical conditions.

 

An Insurance Company may breach this covenant if they delay or refuse to reasonable settle claims due to the Insured. It may also arise if the Insurance company by some technical manipulation intentionally under settles an Insurance claim.

If for instance, a Comprehensive Insurance Policy files a valid claim, the Insurer may be liable for negligence and or intentional wrongdoing.

Cheers!
