A Georgia state law requires the use of contoured rear-fender mudguards on trucks and trailers operating within Georgia state li

nes. The statute further makes it illegal for trucks and trailers to use straight mudguards. In approximately thirty-five other states, straight mudguards are legal. Moreover, in Florida, straight mudguards are explicitly required by law. There is some evidence suggesting that contoured mudguards might be a little safer than straight mudguards. Discuss whether this Georgia statute violates any constitutional provisions.

Answer:

The Commerce Clause refers to the Article 1. Section 8, Clause 3 of the US Constitution which gives "Congress the power of regulating trade between United States and other countries, interstate trade and trade with Indian Tribes".

Case summary:

The state law of GR enforces trucks and trailers operating within the state lines to use contoured rear-fender mudguards. The state further makes it illegal to use straight mud-guards. Based on certain evidences, contoured mudguards might be a little safer than straight mudguards.

Case analysis:

The positive aspect of the commerce clause is the power to congress to regulate the trade which ensures a good market scenario in the country. It helps to bring coordination and let the states trades freely.

Commerce clause besides giving exclusive rights to national government for regulating commerce among the states, restricts the state from doing so. In certain cases, it is found that state impositions or regulations create an unnecessary burden on the public. Thus, for this reason this clause is also called as -negative or dormant" clause.

In this case, state law seems to violate the law of national government under the interstate commerce act. This is for the reason that the state law explicitly requires the use of straight mudguards while this law is active in other states.

Thus, the GR state violates the constitutional provision as it restricts trade.

NeTakaya

Division of labor is defined as the allocation of various parts of a manufacturing process assigned to different people in order to increase the efficiency. Furthermore, distributing a job or task into many technical parts, among a single or few number of workers assigned to every part. <u>In mass production division of labor plays a significant role.</u> Division of labor is simply the division of tasks in , e.g, in a manufacturing plant. Each and every worker perform a certain duty. Which in results boosts efficiency and productivity.

Fixed costs usually includes bill payments, physical structure of a company, rent, and machinery (in this case paper cutting machine). Variable costs are the costs which can be increased or decreased in the short term for example, labor and inputs. In case if a company is in financial loss situation or poor financial circumstances, the company can reduced their staff (labor) but the fixed costs cannot be cut down such as rent of the building or bills and most importantly machinery.

8). Option C. <u><em>Form Utility</em></u>

Form utility refers to the certain product or service that a company offers to its potential customers or clients. The value seen by a consumer or customer in the finished product is called Form utilities. The company emphasize on the increase in form utility by making of a product available for the final consumption on a way so that it is more beneficial for the customer in this form, rather than the materials in the raw form used to produce it.

9). Option B. <em><u>Depreciation</u></em>

Depreciation is defined as the monetary value of an asset reduced or decreased over the time due to its use, its wear and tear, and its obsolescence. Such as Machinery ( cars , machines), equipment (electronic devices, cell phones), currency.

Whereas the van and the fuel used for commute are variable costs.

11). Option A. <u><em>Fewer workers will be needed</em></u>

In this case the increase in the productivity means increase in the production per worker. Like if the productivity increases definitely workers  will become more productive which results in the production of more goods produced per worker and if the demand is in elastic or not very elastic (as in  this case). Which means that the demand is not sensitive to the reduced or falling prices of goods then the definitely less or fewer workers will be needed to produce and supply the same amount of product.

12). Option B. <em><u>Labor</u></em>

The Law of diminishing returns could be applied to the three factors of production i.e. Land, Labor, and Capital, but it is commonly used to analyze the amount of production that will be attained by the adding additional unit of labor. Generally an additional unit of labor tend to produce diminishing levels of output for example, a worker will be able to produce 30 units per day, while on the other hand extra worker will produce only 27 units per day.

13). Option B. <em><u>Providing a delivery service</u></em>

Providing a delivery service is a way to increase possession utility for refrigerator. By making an increase in the possession in the way to ensure that you have the refrigerator or any other product that you are purchasing. Possession utility is the value which customers gets while buying a product. Possession is referred as the physical access of a product what a customer has purchased.

14). Option B. <u><em>A company that makes many sales</em></u>

Economies of scale is referred as where large organizations have the advantage over the small organizations. Which means the larger the organization selling and producing more products, the lower the cost compared to the small organizations. So an organization which makes larger sales has the cost advantages that the company will exploit by expanding their production size.

15). Option D. <em><u>By the amount a consumer is willing to pay for it</u></em>

The value of a product is calculated by the ratio of its quality to its price and Prices of products are determined by supply and demand. The greater the value of product, the better will be its position among competitors. Thus either increasing the quality or reducing the price of certain product will increase the chance that the consumer will select that product than the competing product.  So the value of the product is determined by the amount a consumer is willing to pay for it.

Both ceo pay and average worker pay have increased substantially in the past 30 years. true or false?
natita [175]

The answer is true. The mean salary for a set of workers is their average wage. Government and other organizations frequently track and use this metric as a benchmark for the pay scales of particular employees in a given sector, region, or nation.

Given the propensity of low pay in an economy for low pay, the validity of this measure in measuring wage levels is in question. This is because the earnings of a small fraction of high earners have a tendency to "skew" the average upward. The Office for National Statistics and the Scottish Low Pay Unit both utilize this measure in the UK for analyzing wage levels.
