Answer and Explanation:
I will go through each and every option explaining the reasons and what option would be the best:
The (a) part says 'difference in wages will eventually disappear since a haircut is a homogeneous good' - This is not true because even though it is an homogeneous product, some customers do have a strong preference for barbers who are not going bald. Therefore, they know their worth and they would want to capitalize on that and get paid just a bit more than bald barbers.
The (b) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will be able to charge a higher price for a haircut to those consumers who have a strong preference for barbers with hair'. - If the barbershop charges higher price for barbers that have hair then the customers will prefer bald barbers as the questions mentions that there is high competition and since it is an homogeneous, customers would be willing to save money and get their haircut from some other barber.
The (c) part says 'barbershops that hire bald barbers will always be much more profitable' - Not necessarily. The reason is that some customers have a strong preference for barbers who are not bald and therefore, that would help barbershops who have barbers with hair to be a bit more profitable as some additional customers would want their services.
The (d) part says 'barbershops that hire barbers with hair will always be much more profitable' - This is the best option and the reason for it is because some customers have a strong preference for barbers with hair and that would help the barbershop to earn more. They would have the customers who already indifferent to whoever cuts their hair and in addition to that, they would also have the customers who have their preference.
Hence the answer is D.
Answer:
private saving = $2700
Explanation:
given data
GDP = $10,000
Consumption = $6,000
Government spending = $1,500
deficit = $200
solution
we know here equation of GDP that is express as
GDP = Consumption + investment + Government spending ...................1
we consider here tax revenue that is = T
T - Government spending = - deficit
T = Government spending - deficit
T = $1500 - $200
T = $1300
so we can say from equation 1
( GDP - Consumption - T ) + ( T - Government spending ) = investment
and investment = private saving + public saving
so private saving will be
private saving = GDP - Consumption - tax revenue ................2
private saving = $10000 - $6000 - $1300
private saving = $2700
What?

Answer:
"Perhaps we should explore which stakeholders would stand to win or lose from such a decision."
Explanation:
An ethical decision is one that is aimed towards generating trust from other parties. It shows responsibility, fairness, and caring towards a person.
In this scenario your manager suggests you postpone processing any existing claims in the 4th quarter until the new fiscal year (some claims are as high as $150,000).
The best ethical response will be - Perhaps we should explore which stakeholders would stand to win or lose from such a decision.
This will result in self reflection about who will be affected by the decision. The consideration will not be just the immediate 4th quarter impact of postponing the warranty claims.
This is the most ethical decision among the options.
