Answer:

$7,500

Explanation:

last quarter production was 1,000

production for the next four quarters:

  1. 900 ⇒ so 100 will be fired = 100 x $5 = $500 firing costs
  2. 700 ⇒ so 200 will be fired = 200 x $5 = $1,000 firing costs
  3. 1,000 ⇒ 300 will be hired = 300 x $20 = $6,000 hiring costs
  4. 1,000 ⇒ no one will be fired or hired

total firing and hiring costs = $500 + $1,000 + $6,000 = $7,500

When a firm pursues a chase strategy, it means that they are following the quantity demanded which is set by the market. They only follow the demand, they do not attempt to increase or decrease it.

Innovation can be described as 'new' in that it makes a significant qualitative.

Qualitative research relies on data obtained by researchers from direct observations, interviews, questionnaires, focus groups, participant observations, environmental records, documents, case studies, and artifacts. The data is usually not numeric.

Qualitative data describe a quality or characteristic. Collected through questionnaires, interviews, or observations, they are often presented in the form of narratives. For example, notes made during a focus group on Cafe Mac food quality, or responses to public surveys.

dedylja [7]

Answer:

The CPA rebuts the allegations

Explanation:

The Securities Act of 1933 requires that investors receive financial and other significant information regarding any and all securities being sold publicly and prohibits deceit, misrepresentations, and other fraud in the sale of securities. Therefore, since there was material misstatement or omission in the financial statements, the only chance the CPA has is if they rebut the allegations. Meaning that they provide actual evidence, such as physical statements or witnesses that contradict or nullify the evidence that is being presented against them regarding the material misstatement or omission

Sergeu [11.5K]

Break-even point (in dollar sales):

Determine the monthly break-even point for the new toy in dollar sales as shown below:

Break-even point (in sales dollars) = Break-even point (in units) × Selling price per unit

=50,115 units $2.60 each

= $130,299

Thus, the break-even point (in sales dollars) is $130, 299.

The break-even point is the point at which total costs equal total sales. In other words, there is no loss or profit for small businesses. This means that we have reached a stage of production where the cost of production equals the revenue of the product. A breakeven point is used in multiple areas of business and finance.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: "People are rational".

Explanation:

Economics is the study of people's rational options when faced with scarcity and uncertainty, and that happens to all of us. The problem is that people are hardly rational, because our nature often acts against our economic interests.

Not long ago and until today, the work is done during the day, that is, Monday through Friday; A reality for most people. However, much of the economic activity, both ours and the entire world, operates 24/7. Today, millions of workers have unpredictable schedules. This is especially common in jobs related to services and retail sales. For example, many chain stores use personnel algorithms with traffic and apparently this makes sense, but shareholders always expect efficient efforts to maximize profits. If not, however difficult it is, particularly for workers, to get another job.
