Answer:

0.48 %

Explanation:

Last year productivity: packages  delivered / no. of drivers

                                      =103,225/85

                                        =1,214.41

This year productivity : packages delivered /. no. of drivers

                                       =112,260/92

                                        =1,220.22

change is productivity is : this year's productivity - last year's productivity

                                         =1,220.22- 1,214.41

                                           =5.81

percentage change =5.81/1214.41 x 100

                                 =0.48 %

2. A fancy steakhouse in a shopping mall offers a 20% discount to employees of other stores in the mall, provided that they eat
krok68 [10]

Answer:

Different aspects to be considered:

First of all, the steakhouse probably has the most clients between 6 to 8 PM, that is why discounts are not offered during that time.

Second, the discount is offered to only a certain group, employees of other stores, because it is a promotional strategy aimed at increasing the number of clients during slow hours. Since this is a fancy place, it is probably expensive also. Most employees would not actually eat there except on a special event, e.g. birthday or anniversary dinner. Even with the 20% discount, not many of them will actually eat there.

This is something nice to offer, since a shopping mall is a close environment where a lot of different people work together, even if very few will actually take the offer. It is normal that different stores have distinct promotions for the employees that work there. It is similar to offering perks that help create a better working environment between the employees of different stores.

Suppose that a firm’s marginal production costs are given by MC = 10 + 4Q. The firm’s production process generates a toxic waste
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

A) Marginal private cost= 50

B) Total Marginal social cost to society = 70

Explanation:

A) In order to find the marginal private cost we will use the firms production cost formula as it is the private cost that the firm is enduring and is only relevant to the firm's cost and not the society's cost.

In order to find the marginal unit cost of the 10th unit produced will will replace Q in the formula by 10 as it represents quantity.

MC= 10 + 4Q

MC= 10 + 4(10)

MC= 10 +40 = 50

B) In order to find the marginal cost to society we will add the marginal external cost of the 10th unit to its private cost. We already know the marginal private cost is 50 now we need to find the marginal external cost to it to find the total marginal cost.

Marginal external cost = 2Q

Q= 10

Marginal external cost = 2*10 =20

The total Marginal cost to society= 50 + 20= 70

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

The federal government can regulate Jen's activity citing the supreme court rule of the government ability to regulate any activity interstate or intrastate that affects interstate commerce.

In the line of this argument it means that a farmer growing and of goods affects interstate commerce.

The farmers best argument concerning the federal government regulating their activities due to interstate commerce is that his activities are purely local and although I don't believe any court will hear him out.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Managers are involved in controlling when they conclude that an organization is not making adequate progress toward reaching its goals and objectives and develop remedial actions.

  • Control is a management activity that aids in the detection of problems and the implementation of corrective actions. This is done to reduce deviation from standards and guarantee that the organization's overall goals are met as desired.
  • Controlling is the process of assessing an organization ’s objectives toward its objectives. It comprises monitoring the implementation of a strategy and correcting errors from that plan.
  • Control management is a process that helps your firm spot problems, make adjustments, and keep project management on track. Control management increases your firm's chances of achieving its goals.
  • Controlling is one of the most important management duties of a goal-oriented organization. Management control approaches are classified into two types: modern and classic control strategies. Feedforward, feedback, and concurrent controls are examples of management control techniques.

Thus the correct answer is controlling.
