Answer:
A. Matched Samples
Explanation:
Matched samples is a situation whereby participants are paired, sharing every other characteristics except the one under investigation. The idea behind this is to have more control over unwanted variables. In this case, the study is measuring two production methods and in order to control the unwanted variable and leave only the characteristic or variable under investigation which is the production method, the two method is carried out by the same workers each.

Answer:
I. If labor and capital are perfect substitutes in production, the isoquant is a straight, downward-sloping line.
II. If a company needs to use inputs in fixed proportion such that the capital to labor ratio is always 2, the firm's isoquants are L-shaped.
Explanation:
Perfectly substittuable goods have straight downward sloping ICs, and have corner solutions
.
Complementary goods (used in fixed proportions) are L shaped always
, In case of min(x,y) function, the answer is the value of x or y which ever is minimum and not their sum.
Therefore, Only statements I and II are true.
Answer:
D. Should Shut Down
Explanation:
A perfect competition firm is at profit maximising equilibrium where : Marginal Revenue [Price] = Marginal Cost .
If MR > MC : Firm's additional production is profitable, it tends to increase production. If MR < MC : Firm's additional production is loss making, it tends to decrease production.
However, If firm's Price i.e MR < Average Variable Cost : The firm's per unit price is even unable to cover it's per unit average variable cost. This situation is referred to as 'Shut Down' point & firm should close down its production in the case.
Given : MR = P = 3 ; MC = 4 ; AVC = 3.5 . The firm's price P (3) is not only lesser by its Marginal Cost MC (4), to decrease production ; but also lesser than its Average Variable Cost AVC (3.5) . So, the firm should shut down.
Answer: $525,400
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Nash's Trading Post, LLC had an increase in inventory of $88800, the cost of goods sold was $414400 and that there was a $22200 decrease in accounts payable from the prior period.
Using the direct method of reporting cash flows from operating activities, Nash's's cash payments to the suppliers will be:
= $88,800 + $414400 + $22200
= $525,400
