Answer: D. All of the above

Explanation: The three options listed could explain why the productivity of labor increased with a reduction in the quantity of labor hired. The law of diminishing returns states that as more and more inputs of production are added, a time comes in when additional inputs causes no corresponding increase in productivity. At points like this a reduction in the input added would restore productivity.

Reducing the amount of labor obviously is a labour saving technical change. Changes in organizational innovation can also result in changes in productivity.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer: to increase interest rates which reduced aggregate demand.

Explanation:

Since the money supply was contracted to reduce the rate of inflation, this will lead to increase interest rates which reduced aggregate demand.

In this case as a result of the increase in the interest rate, people will prefer to save their money in the banks and thus will result in less money in circulation which ultimately reduces the demand for goods and services.

Triss [41]

Answer: Degree of Operating Leverage

A Tech = 2.75

Z Tech = 3

Explanation:

As defined in question itself,

Degree of Operating Leverage = 1 + \frac{fixed\ cost}{Profit}

As here, it is provided that profit for both the companies are same amounting $4 million.

Although the fixed cost differ by $1 million.

A Tech Degree of operating Leverage = 1 + \frac{7,000,000}{4,000,000} = 2.75

Z Tech Degree of Operating Leverage = 1 + \frac{8,000,000}{4,000,000} = 3

This clearly demonstrates that A Tech will reach its break even faster than the Z Tech as the ratio of fixed cost to variable cost is lower in A tech in comparison to Z Tech.
