Remainder part of the question:

This turned out to be a very poor growth strategy because

A. the capital stock was increasing less rapidly than technology.

B. the amount of labor per unit of capital was increasing.

C. there were diminishing returns to capital.

D. the amount of capital per hour worked was decreasing

Answer:

Option C There were diminishing returns to capital.

Explanation:

The reason is that the investment gave diminishing returns which didn't covered its cost of capital (the cost that we pay to finance providers). This diminishing returns limited the investment in the forthcoming period and as result we see the fall of Soviet Union. So this option provides a better insight to the poor growth strategy. The investment must be in projects that generates greater value to the organization.

Brut [27]

Answer:

b. the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching.

Explanation:

In Economics, there are primarily two (2) factors which affect the availability and the price at which goods and services are sold or provided, these are demand and supply.

The law of demand states that, the higher the demand for goods and services, the higher the price it would be sold all things being equal. On the other hand, law of supply states that the higher the price of goods and services, the lower the supply.

Poaching can be defined as an illegal or illegitimate procurement (purchase) of protected wildlife living organisms such as elephants, fish, trees, gaming, etc.

In an attempt to reduce poaching of elephant tusks for ivory, officials in Kenya burned illegally gathered ivory. Economists tend to point out that the supply of ivory has fallen, leading to an increase in price and reward for poaching in accordance with the law of supply.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the price level of a product usually results in a decrease in the quality of real output demanded along the aggregate demand curve.

Explanation:

The quantity at target profit=fixed cost+target profit/contribution per unit

fixed expense=$31,900

target profit $6,250

contribution per unit=$140-$70

                                  =$70

unit sales at a target profit of $6,250=($31,900+$6,250)/$70

                                                             =545  sales units

fixed expenses $31900

target profit of $9400

contribution per unit is $70

unit sales at a target profit of $9,400=($31900+$9400)/$70

                                                            =590 sales unit
