Answer:

Explanation:

As a result of these statistics there can be mutual gains from trade to the two countries if the USA exports wheat to China in exchange for pants. That is because USA is able to produce wheat at a much more efficient pace than China can, but at the same time China can produce pants at a much more efficient pace than the USA. Therefore by trading with one another they can focus on producing what each are most efficient in and trading what they are not, thus saving money.

Allushta [10]

Answer:

Intragroup.

Explanation:

A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.

Generally, managers are typically involved in taking up leadership roles and as such are expected to be build a strong relationship between their employees or subordinates by creating a fair ground for effective communication and sharing of resources and information. Also, they are required to engage their staff members (entire workforce) in the most efficient and effective manner.

A functional (departmental) organizational structure is a type of structure used to organize staffs by dividing them into various departments based on their skill set, roles or functions and knowledge.

These departments which are vertically structured may include, finance, IT, sales and marketing, research and development, customer service etc. Also, the various departments are headed by a functional manager who are saddled with the responsibility of overseeing, managing and reporting to the executive management.

In this scenario, two managers in the same department of a company disagree on whether to outsource the development of a new product or staff it internally. Thus, this is an example of intragroup conflict because its happening within the same department of an organization having common goals and interests.

An intragroup conflict can be defined as a type of conflict that arises between individuals belonging to the same team or group.

swat32

Answer:

Company's assets at the end of Year 2 were provided by creditors = 20%

Explanation:

<u>Calculation of Cash at the end of Year 2 </u>

Cash balance at the end of Year 1     $600

Less: Paid off to notes payable          ($500)

Add: Earned cash revenue                 $700

Less: Paid cash expenses                   ($400)

Less: Paid cash dividend                     <u>($100)</u>

Cash balance at the end of Year 2    <u>$300</u>

Notes payable at the end of Year 2 = Beginning balance - Paid off

= $1,000 - $500

= $500

<u>Calculation of Notes Payable at the end of Year 2 </u>

Notes Payable at the end of Year 1     $1000

Less: Paid off to notes payable            <u>($500)</u>

Notes Payable at the end of Year 2 <u>$500</u>

Total assets at the end of Year 2 = Cash + Land

= $300+2200

= $2500

Creditors at the end of the Year 2 (Notes payable) = $500

Company's assets at the end of Year 2 were provided by creditors = Creditors * 100 / Total assets

= $500 * 100 / $2500

= 20%

A. Explain the role labor’s productivity plays in wage determination in the competitive labor market. If productivity increases,
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

(A)Wages decrease in the long term

Explanation:

(A) The principles of supply and demand applies here.

Higher worker productivity in a particular industry implies increased demand for workers in the industry (short term effect).

Increased supply of workers implies:

1. output per worker increases, resulting in increase in supply of products in the industry. But, the laws of supply and demand comes in, because when supply increases, prices decrease.

That is, the increase in worker productivity may cause a decrease in prices resulting in a decrease in wages since the firm's revenue declined (long term effect).

2. Increase in the supply of workers in the industry with increased in productivity over workers from other industry because of initial increase in wages. This would lead to a decrease in wages because the supply of workers would exceed demand.

(B) The compensation differential is the additional amount of money that a given worker must be offered in order to motivate him to accept a given undesirable job, relative to other jobs that the worker could perform.

(C) This is called a derived demand because it is often based on the demand for products.

For example, when consumers want more of a particular good or service eg clothing, more firms in the industry will want workers that make this product.
