Answer:
Allocative inefficiency.
Explanation:
Factors of production can be defined as the fundamental building blocks used by individuals or business firms for the manufacturing of finished goods and services in order to meet the unending needs and requirements of their customers.
In Economics, there are four (4) main factors of production and these are;
I. Land.
II. Labor (working).
III. Capital resources.
IV. Entrepreneurship.
When these aforementioned factors of production are combined effectively and efficiently, they can be used for the manufacturing or production of goods and services to meet the unending requirements or needs of the consumers.
Basically, there are two (2) types of inefficiency associated with the production of goods and services to meet the unending requirements or needs of consumers, these includes;
1. Technical (productive) inefficiency: it occurs when a company or business firm produce goods and services that consumers do not want. This is typically as a result of the incorrect and inefficient allocation of scarce resources by a business firm or entity.
2. Allocative inefficiency: it occurs when a company or business firm do not maximise output from the given inputs such as raw materials, capital, etc. Thus, it arises when businesses fail to increase the level of their production or productivity from a number of given inputs.
Hence, when a business do not maximise output from the given inputs, it is referred to as an allocative inefficiency.
<em>In conclusion, allocative inefficiency typically occurs when the price of a good or service isn't equal to its marginal cost i.e P ≠ MC.</em>
Answer:
$52,000
Explanation:
Bonus is 20% on annual net income, after deducting the bonus.
Let the annual income after deducting bonus be g
Then,
Bonus = 20% of g
= 0.2g
Annual income before bonus = annual income after bonus + bonus
312,000 = g + 0.2g
g = 312000/1.2
g = $260,000
Bonus = 0.2g
= 0.2 × 260,000
= $52,000
