Answer:

Grease payment

Explanation:

A grease payment is a payment made to a government official with the goal of expediting a transaction, process or request. It can be obtained through extortion from the government official, by voluntary contribution from the non-goverment official, or by mutual agreement, either explicit, or implicit.

In practice, it is essentially the same as a bribe, and the term could be considered a colloquial euphemism.

The opportunity cost of attending college is likely to be highest for a high school graduate Choose one: A who is very intellige
Valentin [98]

Answer:

B. who can immediately take over the family business

Explanation:

<em>Option A</em> is wrong because opportunity cost is not related to intelligence.

<em>Option C</em> is not correct because a high school graduate and a college attending student can access to student loans.

The family's wealth can not be a factor in terms of opportunity cost of attending college or a high school graduate. Therefore, <em>option D</em> is incorrect.

Option B is correct as a college attending student cannot take over the family business. So, it is his opportunity cost. On the other hand, a high school graduate can take over the business.

approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the mar
anyanavicka [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

A manufacturer believes that the cost function : $C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  approximates the dollar cost of producing x units of a product. The manu- facturer believes it cannot make a profit when the marginal cost goes beyond $210. What is the most units the manufacturer can produce and still make a profit? What is the total cost at this level of production?

Solution :

Given the cost function is :

$C(x) =\frac{5}{2}x^2+120 x+560$  

Now, Marginal cost = $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)$

So, if the marginal cost = $ 210, then the manufacturer also makes a profit and if it goes beyond $ 210 than the manufacturer cannot make a profit.

Therefore, we have to equate : $\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \$ 210$

$\frac{d}{dx}C(x)= \frac{5}{2}(2x)+120 = 210$

$5x + 120 = 210$

$5x=210-120$

$5x=90$

$x=45$

So when x = 45, then C(x) = $ 8042.5

Therefore, the manufacturer $\text{can make up}$ to 45 units and $\text{still makes a profit.}$ This leads to a total cost of $ 8042.5

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": Harold will win his case because the employer was aware of the racially harassing behavior, yet no discipline was imposed.

Explanation:

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (<em>EEOC</em>) is an agency of the federal government of the United States that enforces laws against race, color, religion, sex, age, or disability discrimination in the workplace. Most employers and unions are covered under EEOC laws.

In Harold's case, the harassment was not specifically against him but there were clear signs of discrimination. However, Alegius Financial Services did not do anything regarding this issue what will result in finding the company liable after Harold sued them.

Leisure Enterprise’s total cost of producing speedboats is given by TC = 10 Q 3 – 4 Q 2 + 25 Q + 500. On the basis of this infor
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

The marginal cost of producing the 25th speedboat is 18,575.

Explanation:

Note that the given Leisure Enterprise’s total cost (TC) of producing speedboats is correctly stated as follows:

TC = 10Q^3 - 4Q^2 + 25^Q + 500 …….………….. (1)

Where Q represents the quantity of speedboats produced.

To obtain the marginal cost (MC) of producing speedboats, equation (1) is differentiated with respect to Q as follows:

MC = dTC/dQ = 30Q^2 - 8Q + 25 ………………… (2)

Finding the marginal cost (MC) of producing the 25th speedboat implies that Q = 25.

Substituting Q = 25 into equation (2), we have:

MC = (30 * 25^2) - (8 * 25) + 25 = 18,575

Therefore, the marginal cost of producing the 25th speedboat is 18,575.
