Answer:

Here are the possible answers:

a) making the best possible ethical choice.

b) going to make a terrific President of the United States some day.

c) none of these.

d) ultimately going to be rewarded by having the most profitable car

The answer is: c) none of these.

Explanation:

Ethics in industries related to manufacturing things that are of critical importance to public safety and security is very important.

The behavior of a manager like Lee is deemed as highly unethical, as he puts the marketing and design need in front of an essential need such as safety compliance.

Regardless of the ethics perspective, it is also irrelevant to state that this kind of car would be the most profitable. That could be possibly true in the short-run (due to intensive design and marketing efforts), but on the other hand, a critical dose of bad PR when an accident occurs (due to low safety improvement efforts) can be devastating for the company's profit in the long run.

Deep Water Mining added $411 to retained earnings last year on sales of $24,646. The administrative expenses were $4,370, deprec
ki77a [65]

Answer:

$18,290

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is given below;

The profit after tax is

= Retained earnings + dividend

= $411 + $285

= $696

The profit before tax = $696 ÷ (1 - Tax rate)

= $696 ÷ (1 - 0.35)

= $1,071  

Now  

Sales = $24,646

Let us assume the Cost of goods sold be X

admin expenses = $4,370

Depreciation = $812

Interest = $103

Profit before tax = $1.071

Cost of goods sold (X) = $24,646  - $4,370 - $812 - $103 - $1,071

= $18,290

In words, what does it mean when an economic consultant states:" kevin's income elasticity of red wine is equal to 6?
Lady_Fox [76]

When an economist says that "Kevin's income elasticity of red wine is 6" he means that if Kevin's income increases by 10%, the quantity of red wine demanded by Kevin rises by 60%. So, red wine is income elastic. Since the income elasticity is greater than 1, red wine is a luxury good for Kevin.


Income elasticity measures the change in the quantity of goods demanded relative to a change in income.

If an increase in income results in a decrease in the quantity of goods demanded, then that good is an inferior or cheap good. The income elasticity of a cheap good is negative.

If the demand for a good rises with an increase in income, then that good is a normal good. The income elasticity of normal goods is greater than zero.

If an increase in income results in a greater increase in the quantity of goods demanded, then that good is a luxury good. The income elasticity of a luxury good is greater than 1.

In a command economy do highly skilled workers earn more, less, or the same as low-skilled workers?
Scilla [17]
In a command economy, depending on most of the businesses, consumers can either buy more, or buy less than they would in a different economy. But because of the fluctuation businesses experience with their profit rates and so on, highly skilled workers are paid the same as low-skilled workers.

If a $1,000 increase in income leads to an $800 increase in consumption expenditures, then the marginal propensity to consume is
sp2606 [1]

If a $1,000 increase in income leads to an $800 increase in consumption expenditures, then marginal propensity to consume is 0.8.

Given that a $1,000 increase in income leads to an $800 increase in consumption expenditures.

We are required to find the marginal propensity to consume.

Marginal propensity to consume is the ratio of increase in consumption and the increase in income. It is also known as MPC.

MPC=ΔC/ΔI

ΔC=Change in consumption

ΔI= Change in income.

MPC=800/1000

=0.8

Hence if a $1,000 increase in income leads to an $800 increase in consumption expenditures, then marginal propensity to consume is 0.8.
