Answer:

to prevent unintended differences between the groups at the start of the start of the study.

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that the main reason for this is mainly to prevent unintended differences between the groups at the start of the start of the study. Otherwise they may unintentionally cause differences in the groups due to their beliefs, ideas, or experiences when assigning the employees.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

271,500 pounds

Explanation:

Given:

Quarter                               FIRST      SECOND     THIRD     FOURTH

Production in unit                  48000     88000        98000      78000

Raw material per unit               3               3                 3                 3

=================================================================

Thus,

Need for material  = Production in unit × Raw material per unit

=================================================================

Quarter                                         FIRST      SECOND     THIRD     FOURTH

Need for material in production  144,000   264,000     294,000     234,000

Desired ending inventory = 25% of next quarter's production needs for material

==================================================================

ADD:

Desired ending inventory             66000       73500      58500  

==================================================================

Total need of material = Need for material in production + Desired ending inventory

==================================================================

Quarter                               FIRST      SECOND     THIRD      FOURTH

Total need of material =       210,000    337,500     352,500  

Beginning inventory             38000  66000       73500  

==================================================================

Total purchase = Total need of material - Beginning inventory

==================================================================

Quarter                               FIRST      SECOND     THIRD      FOURTH

Total purchase =                   172,000     271,500      279,000

Hence,

The answer is  271,500 pounds

Bill wants to give Maria a $590,000 gift in two years. If money is worth 12% compounded semiannually, what is Maria's gift worth
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

the present value is $467,335.2613

Explanation:

The computation of the value worth today is shown below:

= Amount in two years ÷ (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $590,000 ÷ (1 + 12% ÷ 2)^2×2

= $590,000 ÷ 1.06^4

= $590,000 ÷ 1.26247696

= $467,335.2613

Hence, the present value is $467,335.2613

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact that P = ATC, P>ATC, MR =MC, or MR>MC at the optimal quantity.  Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is the efficient scale. True False

This indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for shirts. True False

Explanation:

In the long run, monopolistically-competitive entities produce at a level where marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal. This makes it impossible for individual companies to sell their products at prices above the average cost. This situation means that monopolistically-competitive companies will always earn zero economic profit in the long run.
