C: software

in most countries, there are four primary types of intellectual property (IP) that can be legally protected: patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.

Copyrights do not protect ideas, but rather the manner in which ideas are expressed (“original works of authorship”) - written works, art, music, architectural drawings, or even programming code for software

What can happen when the united states government plays a direct role in the economy? Select all that apply.

solniwko [45]

The answer is (A) It competes with private business and (C) It acts as an employer.

In a way, the United States government already has direct role in the economy right now, since it has businesses such as the US Postal Service – which competes with private businesses that provide logistics support for customers, such as FedEx. Since it has businesses, the government automatically also plays the role of an employer.

Suppose all individuals are identical, and their monthly demand for Internet access from a certain leading provider can be repr

topjm [15]

Answer: B) $16

Explanation:

First lets take down the data given to us;

access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 minusone half q i.e 5 - 0.5q

Using the concept of two-part terrific which is a monopolistic market system, it is type of price discrimination where the price of goods and services are of two section namely; a lump-sum fee (expensive) as well as a per-unit charge .

Entry fees are set to be equal to the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium.

So we calculate our price and quantity in the competitive equilibrium first, marginal cost is equal to price

5 - 0.5q = 1

4 / 0.5 = q

q = 8

Now the intercept of the demand curve at the vertical axis is 5,

so the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium is:

M = (5 - 1) * 8 / 2

M = 4 * 4

M = 16

the monthly access fee will be equal to $16.

Splish Brothers Inc. has 9300 shares of 4%, $50 par value, cumulative preferred stock and 186000 shares of $1 par value common s

fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The dividends received by the preferred stockholders in 2017 is $24,300

Explanation:

The computation of the preferred stockholder dividend is shown below:

= Yearly dividend - dividend paid in 2016

where,

Yearly dividend = Number of shares × par value per share × rate

= 9,300 shares × $50 × 4%

= $18,600

And, the 2016 dividend is $12,900

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would equal to

= $18,600 - $12,900

= $5,700

So, the total dividend would be

= Year end dividend + last year dividend

= $18,600 + $5,700

= $24,300

Out of the $64,500, the $24,300 will be distributed to the preference shareholders and the remaining amount $402,00 would be distributed to the common stockholders

Answer:

a).

Labor hours productivity=3.500

Multi-factor productivity=2.423

b). The reduction in labor hours per employee per week to achieve this goal=15.735 hours

c). The maximum value that the overhead costs per week can be to ensure the multi-factor productivity is at least 1.257=$21,059.666

Explanation:

a).

<em>Step 1: Determine the labor hours productivity</em>

Labor output per week=potential leads×fee

where;

potential leads=5% of potential leads, and potential leads=3,000

potential leads=5%×3,000

potential leads=(5/100)×3,000=150

one-time fee=$70

replacing;

Labor output per week=70×150=$10,500

Labor input per week=cost per hour per employee×number of employees×number of hours worked

where;

cost per hour per employee=$25

number of employees=3

number of hours worked=40

replacing;

Labor input per week=25×3×40=$3,000

Labor hours productivity=labor output per week/labor input per week

Labor hours productivity=10,500/3,000=3.500

<em>Step 2: Determine the multi-factor productivity</em>

Multi-factor productivity=Generated fees/(labor cost+material cost+overhead cost)

where;

generated fees=number of employees×potential leads×potential ratio×fee

number of employees=3, potential leads=3,000, potential ratio=5%=5/100=0.05, fee=$70

generated fees=3×3,000×0.05×70=$31,500

Labor cost=$3,000

Material cost=$1,000

Overhead cost=$9,000

Total cost=3,000+1,000+9,000=$13,000

replacing;

Multi-factor productivity=31,500/13,000=2.423

b). Increasing the multi-factor productivity (MP) by 10%

New MP=(110/100)×2.423=2.665

New MP=generated fees/labor cost+material cost+overhead cost

labor cost=cost per hour per employee×number of employees×number of hours worked

where;

cost per hour per employee=$25

number of employees=3

number of hours worked=h

labor cost=25×3×h=75 h

material cost=$1,000

overhead cost=$9,000

generated fees=$31,500

New MP=2.665

replacing;

2.665=31,500/{(75 h)+(1,000)+(9,000)}

2.665=31,500/75 h+10,000

2.665(75 h+10,000)=31,500

199.875 h+26,650=31,500

199.875 h=31,500-26,650

199.875 h=4,850

h=4,850/199.875

h=24.265

New labor hours=24.265 hours per week

Initial labor hours=40 hours per week

Reduction in labor hours=Initial labor hours-new labor hours

Reduction in labor hours=(40-24.265)=15.735

The reduction in labor hours per employee per week to achieve this goal=15.735 hours

c). Using a multi-factor of 1.257

MP=generated fees/labor cost+material cost+overhead cost

where;

MP=1.257

generated fees=$31,500

Labor cost=$3,000

Material cost=$1,000

Overhead cost=c

replacing;

1.257=31,500/(c+3,000+1,000)

1.257=31,500/c+4,000

1.257(c+4,000)=31,500

1.257 c+5,028=31,500

1.257 c=31,500-5,028

1.257 c=26,472

c=26,472/1.257=21,059.666

The maximum value that the overhead costs per week can be to ensure the multi-factor productivity is at least 1.257=$21,059.666
