When comparing Mexico to Scotland, you would expect Scottish workers to have ________. more satisfaction worse working condition

Fudgin [204]

When comparing Mexico to Scotland, you would expect Scottish workers to have greater productivity and higher labour cost per worker

Explanation:

One may expect that a Scotland plant will be less labour intensive and efficient per worker than just Mexican facilities as a more advanced technological nation and that "higher productivity and low labour cost" will be the right answer.

Both possibilities for lower productivity can be excluded as they demonstrate lower productivity. "Higher productivity, but less energy per job" is not the solution because it recognises lower labour costs per worker rather than higher.

The increase in labour productivity relies, according to certain studies, on three key factors: innovation and capital goods saving, modern technology and human capital.

A city street is a. always a public good, whether or not it is congested. b. a public good when it is congested, but it is a com

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

a common resource when it is congested, but it is a public good when it is not congested.

Explanation:

We live in different areas, across city streets, with roads and they can either be public goods or common resources. Now, when the streets are not congested, it simply means that an individual can freely access the areas without that affecting any other person. In this simple case, the use by one person is not in rival consumption and so the streets are said to be a public good. But when the area is fully congested, people might find it difficult to move around through the areas. The use of the areas could cause negative externalities. Because the place would be overcrowded, people can only move at a slow pace. In this case, the street are said to be a common resource.

The charter of a corporation provides for the issuance of 100,000 shares of common stock. Assume that 45,000 shares were origina

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

amount of cash dividend paid = $80000

so correct option is 1. $80,000

Explanation:

given data

common stock = 100,000 shares

shares issued = 45,000

subsequently reaquired = 5,000

dividend= $2 per share

to find out

What is the amount of cash dividends

solution

first we get here no of share outstanding that is

no of share outstanding = shares issued - subsequently reaquired .........1

no of share outstanding = 45000 - 5000

no of share outstanding = 40000 shares

and

now we get amount of cash dividend paid here as

amount of cash dividend paid = outstanding share × dividend share ...........2

amount of cash dividend paid = 40000 × $2

amount of cash dividend paid = $80000

so correct option is 1. $80,000

An office has 5 copy machines that need to be serviced approximately once an hour either for paper, staples, or toner or repair.

Anton [14]

Answer:

a. Average number of copiers in line is 0.275

b. Average number of copiers still in operation is 4.23

c. Average number being serviced is 0.496

d. No, the office should not do it

Explanation:

N = number of copy machines = 5

U = average time between unit service requirements = 1 hour = 60 minutes

T = average service time = 7 minutes

M = number of servers = 1

Cost of copier downtime = $20

Cost of attendant = $15

(a) Service factor, X = T / (T+U) = 7 / (60+7) = 0.105

From the Finite Queuing Tables for a Population of N = 5,

For X = 0.105 and M=1, the efficiency factor, F = 0.945

So, The average number waiting in line, L = N × (1 - F) = 5 × (1 - 0.945) = 0.275

(b) Average number in operation, J = N×F×(1 - X) = 5×0.945×(1 - 0.105) = 4.23

(c) Average number being serviced, H = F×N×X = 0.945×5×0.105 = 0.496

(d) For M=1

The average number of copier down = N - J = 5 - 4.23 = 0.77

So, cost of downtime per hour = $20×0.77 = $15.4

Also, the cost of the server per hour = $15×M = $15×1 = $15

So, total cost = 15.4 + 15 = $30.4 per hour (i)

For M=2

From the Finite Queuing Tables for a Population of N = 5, with X = 0.105 and M=2, the efficiency factor, F = 0.997

J = N×F×(1 - X) = 5×0.997×(1 - 0.105) = 4.46

The average number of copier down = N - J = 5 - 4.46 = 0.54

So, cost of downtime per hour = $20×0.54 = $10.8

Also, the cost of the server per hour = $15×M = $15×2 = $30

So, total cost = 10.8 + 30 = $40.8 per hour (ii)

Comparing (i) and (ii), we can say that having another attendant is not cost-effective.
