Answer:
regression theory
Explanation:
According to the <u>regression theory</u> of Alderfer’s ERG theory, an already-satisfied lower-level need can become reactivated when a higher-level need cannot be satisfied.
Alderfer proposed a regression theory to go along with the ERG theory, where he propounded that <u>when needs in a higher category are not met then individuals redouble the efforts invested in a lower category need.</u>
For example if self-actualization or self-esteem needs in the Maslow's hierarchy of needs are not met then individuals will invest more effort in the physiological and safety category in the hopes of achieving the higher need.
Answer:
d) The change to the equilibrium price of French chocolate souffle is ambiguous and the equilibrium quantity of French chocolate souffle falls
Explanation:
Inferior goods are those goods whose demand falls with the rise in the income of the consumer.
As per the given case, French chocolate souffle is an inferior good. When income of the consumer rises, his demand for French chocolate souffle will fall.
Similarly, when producers of such an inferior good decrease, the supply of French chocolate souffle shall fall.
With respect to the original equilibrium level, the demand curve shall experience a leftward shift i.e decrease whereas the supply curve too experiences a leftward shift i.e supply falls.
At the new equilibrium level, definitely the equilibrium quantity shall fall, but the change in equilibrium price cannot be ascertained as per the given information.

The question is incomplete. The following is the complete question.
Sag Manufacturing is planning to sell 400,000 hammers for $6 per unit. The contribution margin ratio is 20%. If Sweet will break even at this level of sales, what are the fixed costs?
Answer:
Fixed costs are $480000
Explanation:
The break even sales is the value of total sales or total revenue where it equals total cost and the company makes no profit or no loss. The break even in sales is calculated by dividing the fixed costs by the contribution margin ratio.
Break even in sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio
Plugging in the available values we can calculate the value of fixed cost. We know that the break even in units is at 400000 units. Thus, its value in sale will be 400000 * 6 = 2400000
2400000 = Fixed cost / 0.2
2400000 * 0.2 = Fixed cost
Fixed costs = $480000
