Andrew paid $30 to buy a potato cannon, a cylinder that shoots potatoes hundreds of feet. He was willing to pay $45. When Andrew

irinina [24]

Answer:

The total surplus from Andrew's sale to Nick is $35.

Explanation:

The total surplus is the sum of producer surplus and consumer surplus.

The consumer surplus is the difference between the maximum price a consumer is willing to pay for a product and the price he/she actually has to pay.

While producer surplus is the difference between the minimum price a producer is willing to accept for a product and the price he/she actually gets.

Consumer surplus for Nick

= $80 - $60

= $20

Producer surplus for Andrew

= $60 - $45

= $15

Total surplus from generated from Andrew's sale to Nick

= $20 + $15

= $35

What is one of the three functions of the central vision area of a driver?

ruslelena [56]

Although the focus vision is the one responsible for the targeting function, it is the central vision that allows the viewing of the line of sight to the target area. It is the central vision that allows a relative focus for mid distances and blurring of what's around. It is important on a motorway, for example, as what's ahead is the most important once there isn't people or very busy areas around.

The four conditions (mutual exclusion, hold and wait, no preemption and circular wait) are necessary for a resource deadlock to

Evgen [1.6K]

Explanation:

The conditions sufficient for a resource deadlock to occur is when a deadlock will prevail for process A, B, and C when two resources R and S; if only one instance of each resources is allowed.

Solution

Deadlock conditions

A deadlock is a situation where two or more processes request for same critical resource at the same time.

The mutual exclusion applies a restriction to a resource when the resource is used by any process, it should become unavailable for the other resources

The hold and wait allocations explains that any process which is allocate resources must hold them; till all needed resources are nor sure.

In the meantime, if any other processes need a resource which is held by another process, then the latter will release the resource to prevent deadlock.

No pre-emption states that the operating system can grant access to resources to another process while it is in use by another process; depending on the priority , to prevent deadlock.

Circular wait should not be implemented so that resources being requested by process are allocated when they get free.

Now,

Three processes A, B, and C functions on a system, having two distinct resources R and S.

The resource R has one instant active while resource S has two instances available.

The instance of R is allocated to a process A after request. first instance of resource S is allocated to process B, and second instance of resource S is allocated to process C.

When a request is placed by process B for resource R, then the resource is not available for execution. the process A request for resource S which is used by both C and B.

All the four conditions prevail in this situation; yet deadlock does not occur.

The resource S is released by process C and is allocated to process A. when process A finishes, it releases resources and resources R is allocate d to process B.

Hence all three processes end without a deadlock.

However, the deadlock will prevail for process A, B, and C when two resources R and S; if only one instance of each resources is allowed.

A justification for job training programs is that they improve worker productivity. Suppose that you are asked to evaluate wheth

patriot [66]

Explanation:

1. The ceterus paribus effect gives us to what extent, the effect of a variable has on another variable, while holding all other factors fixed. Analysing job training of workers on productivity will give us results that are not biased since we will not be taking account of other factor variables in the calculations. When 2 firms are the same in almost every aspect apart from number of hours on training, then we will find out that each firm would have different levels of workers output. So we should know if workers output increases due to job training.

2. When it comes to provision of training, furms do these based on characteristics of the workers. Some of these characteristics are measurable while some are immeasurable

Measurable:

Experience on the job,

Productivity

Level of education,

immeasurable :

Skill set

Vision

Likeliness to bstay at firm

3. Apart from worker characteristics, productivity also depends on other factors one of which is technological change. A technological change can bring about increased efficiency and greater output by the worker. Different firms using different capital and technological combination are quite likely to have different output levels.

4. A positive correlation between job training and productivity cannot be used to ascertain if job training makes worker more efficient this is due to the fact that correlation only tells us if variables are in coexistence. So a positive correlation does not tell us that job training is indeed bringing about changes in the productivity of workers.
