Answer:
a. What is the MRP per driver per day?
- the marginal revenue product per driver = 60 packages x $20 = $1,200 per day
b. Now suppose that a union forces the company to place a supervisor in each vehicle at a cost of $300 per supervisor per day. The presence of the supervisor causes the number of packages delivered per vehicle per day to rise to 60 packages per day What is the MRP per supervisor per day? By how much per vehicle per day do firm profits fall after supervisors are introduced?
- if the drivers were already delivering 60 packages per day without the supervisor, then the addition of the supervisor doesn't change anything. So the MRP of the supervisor is $0. That means that the company's profits will decrease by $300 per day due to the supervisors.
c. How many packages per day would each vehicle have to deliver in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?
- $300 / 20 = 15 packages per day
- in order to maintain the profit per vehicle, each team of delivery man + supervisor should be able to deliver 75 packages per day.
d. Suppose that the number of packages delivered per day cannot be increased but that the price per deliver might potentially be raised. What price would the firm have to charge for each delivery in order to maintain the firm's profit per vehicle after supervisors are introduced?
- $300 / 60 = $5
- the price of each package delivered should increase by $5 to $25 per package.
Answer
Hi,
Progressive tax assesses a taxpayer’s ability to pay. Higher rates are on the wealthy than on the poor.
Explanation
Those considered poor according to a country’s definition have families who spend larger shares of their income on the cost of living thus all money they earn is needed to afford basic needs thus face a decreased progressive tax. On the other hand, the progressive tax imposed on wealthy individuals decrease their abilities to purchase more luxury items or invest in stock.
Hope this helps!
Answer: parametric
Explanation:
As a general rule of thumb, when the dependent variable’s level of measurement is nominal (categorical) or ordinal, then a non-parametric test should be selected. When the dependent variable is measured on a continuous scale, then a parametric test should typically be selected. Fortunately, the most frequently used parametric analyses have non-parametric counterparts. This can be useful when the assumptions of a parametric test are violated because you can choose the non-parametric alternative as a backup analysis.
Answer:
Data Quality Principle
Explanation:
Collected data is said to be relevant if it is a true representation of real world facts. If it is not then conclusions drawn from it will be incorrect.
Data should be complete, consistent, have integrity, and relevant for a specific use.
For example in marketing, a company uses names and contact information to promote their goods and services. The data needs to be correct and updated for it to be useful. Assume a customer has changed his address and phone number, and these were not updated. It will be difficult for the company to conduct business with him.
Answer:
A. We should expect higher interest rates and lower stock prices.
Explanation:
Producer price index refers to the price that producers recieve for their products. When there is an increase in PPI it means producers are receiving more revenue.
Increased revenue will result in more money in circulation. To regulate the excess money the monetary authorities will increase interest rate to reduce borrowing and by extension money in the economy.
Because there is now a need to get more funds by the companies, they will lower share prices to make them attractive to prospective investors.
