Answer:

A) True

Explanation:

The Homestead strike was a combination of both a company lockout (the company didn't allow workers to work) and a union strike (where the workers did't want to work). It was a power struggle between one of the darkest and sinister monopolists of the 19th century, Carnegie Steel (led by Andrew Carnegie) and the most powerful workers' union in America, the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers.

In 1889 the union won, but Carnegie wanted revenge, so in 1892, he demanded harsher conditions after the initial contract was over and when the union said no, a lockout started. It was bloody and messy, with 16 dead. Carnegie's private army of 300 guards faced 10,000 strikers and things turned ugly soon. The Pinkertons (Carnegie's troops) were "defeated" but too many lives were lost.

Since Carnegie's little was defeated, he asked a bigger fish to help him and the governor sent 8,000 soldiers to arrest any union striker that opposed Carnegie. Finally, Carnegie's millions and corrupt politicians won, and the workers were forced to accept lower wages and more working hours. Those who rejected the forced deal were sent to prison.

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

3 years

Explanation:

<u>First method</u>

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV1 = $15,000 + $32,500/(1+0.06)^n

<u>Second method</u>

The PV of the investment can be written as:

PV2 = $23,000 + $23,000/(1+0.06)^n

After n years both projects will be economically equal. Hence their present value must be equal PV1 = PV2

$15,000 + $32,500/(1.06)^n = $23,000 + $23,000/(1.06)^n

$23,000 - $15,000 = $32,500/(1.06)^n - $23,000/(1.06)^n

$8,000 = $9,500/(1.06)^n

(1.06)^n = $9,500/$8,000

(1.06)^n = 1.1875

Taking log on both sides we get:

nlog1.06 = log 1.1875

n = log 1.1875/log 1.06

n = 0.07463361829/0.02530586526

n = 2.94926166417121

n = 3

So, the answer is 3 years

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

- BEP in unit: 4,000 units;

- In case fixed cost increases by 10%, New BEP in unit: 4,400 units.

- Net income: 1,000,000p.

- BEP in units if sale price to decrease : 8,000 units => Price change should not take place as it moves the company from making 1 million peso profit to a loss as sales in units (1,200 + 5,000 =6,200) is lower than break-even point ( 8,000 units).

Explanation:

Please find detailed calculations as below:

- BEP in unit is calculated as Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = 4,000,000/(3,000 - 2,000) = 4,000.

- New BEP in unit is calculated as  New Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = (4,000,000 x 1.1)/(3,000 - 2,000) = 4,400.

- Net income: Sales - fixed cost - variable cost = 3,000 x 5,000 - 4,000,000 - 2,000 x 5,000 = 1,000,000 p

- BEP in units if sale price to decrease: Fixed cost/ Margin earned by one product = 4,000,000/(2,500 - 2,000) = 8,000.
