Mesa Cheese Company has developed a new cheese slicer called Slim Slicer. The company plans to sell this slicer through its cata

log, which it issues monthly. Given market research, Mesa believes that it can charge $19 for the Slim Slicer. Prototypes of the Slim Slicer, however, are costing $29. By using cheaper materials and gaining efficiencies in mass production, Mesa believes it can reduce Slim Slicer's cost substantially. Mesa wishes to earn a return of 41% of the selling price. Compute the target cost for the Slim Slicer.

Answer:

$ 13.21

Explanation:

Data provided:

Selling cost of cheese slicer = $ 19

Cost of the prototype = $ 29

Expected return = 41%

i.e 41% of the selling cost = 0.41 × $ 19 = $ 7.79

Now,

the target cost is calculated as :

Target cost = Selling Price - Expected Return from the Stock

on substituting the values, we get

Target cost = $ 21 - $ 7.79 = $ 13.21

If the signaling theory of education is correct;
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

C. workers with more years of formal schooling are less likely to be affected by ability, effort, and chance.

Explanation:

The <em>signalling theory in education</em> tells us that employees send "signals" to their employees regarding their education. In other words, employers are willing to pay higher wages to employees with additional years of formal schooling.

This means these qualified workers have their wage primarily defined by their education level, which does not always reflect their true skill-set (the output of ability and effort).
