United States based firms are moving manufacturing jobs overseas simply because they can get away with paying workers in foreign countries WAY less than in America. They also do not need to follow the strict labor laws and provide benefits to outsourced employees.

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a situation such as this one the individual workers and their families may be better off or may actually do worse due to the real wage rises in terms of agricultural goods but the real wage in terms of the manufactured goods will actually fall. Therefore it depends on the worker's unique situation and in which sector they are in which determines if they are better or worse.

It would be 6 because -2x-3= 6 and the exponent comes out to one so 6 times nothing is 6. :)

How many years would it take for money to increase to 3 times the initial amount at an interest rate of 18% per year?
arlik [135]

Answer:

7 years (to the nearest year)

Explanation:

Given that;

A = amount

P= principal

t = time

r = rate

A =3P(given in the question)

Formula for compound interest;

A = P(1 + r)^t

Substituting values;

3P = P(1 + 18/100)^t

3P/P= (1.18)^t

3 = (1.18)^t

log 3 = t log 1.18

t = log 3/log 1.18

t = 0.4771/0.0719

t = 6.6 years

t = 7 years (to the nearest year)

N76 [4]

Assume that skilled labor costs twice as much as unskilled labor, a profit maximizing firm will hire until the marginal product of unskilled labor is half that of skilled labor.

A profit maximizing firm is a firm that tries to create products that are of good quality at the barest or smallest cost.

The marginal product falls after an additional amount of the resource has been added. It is the extra amount that is gained due to the addition of an extra unit.

Due to the fact that both the skilled and unskilled would decrease eventually, the company would have to hire both at equal marginal products.
