Answer:

C. every additional missile will reduce consumer goods production more and more.

Explanation:

Due to the fact there are limited resources in the economy, as more of one product is being produced, there would be less resources available to produce the second good and as a result,  the number of the other good that can be produced would reduce.

As more of one good is produced, the opportunity cost of producing the other good increases.

As more missiles are produced, less consumer goods would be produced and the opportunity cost of consumer goods would increase.

This can be understood by looking at the production possibility curve.

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

As more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced

It is for this reason that the production possibility frontier is bowed outwards

It is estimated that firms lose ___________ annually in productivity, absenteeism, and employee turnover due to caring for aging
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

$11 billion annually.

Explanation:

Firms carried out assessments based on their daily activities as well as employee assessment.

Employees in firms are assessed based on their productivity level, rate at which they are absent from work as well as their turnover rate in the firm.

Low productivity can be defined as a decrease in the production capacity of a firm due to the inefficiency of workers.

Absenteeism can be defined as when a person is not present at work. This may be due to genuine or deliberate reasons.

Employee turnover can be defined as the number of employees who leave a firm and are replaced with new employees.

Low productivity, consistent absenteeism and employee turnover rates are said to cause firms to lose a lot of money due to:

a. Payment of salary for absent workers

b. Having to find replacement for absent staffs.

c. Low productivity due to lack of or absent staffs.

It is estimated that firms lose $11 billion annually in productivity, absenteeism, and employee turnover due to caring for aging parents.
