1. An engineer in 1950 was earning $6,000 a year. Today she earns $60,000 a year. However, on average goods today cost 6.6 times
vivado [14]

The engineer's real income today in terms of constant 1950 dollars is $14,400.

<h3>What is the real income?</h3>

Real income ls nominal income less inflation rate. Inflation rate is when there is a persistent rise in the general price levels of a country.

Real income = nominal income - inflation

Inflation = (1 + 6.6) x $6000 = $45,600

Real income = $60,000 - $45,600 = $14,400

Why is real GDP a more accurate measure of an economy's production than nominal GDP?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Nominal GDP measures economic growth at current prices. It measures the value of output produced on the basis of current prices. It is thus not an inflation measure of economic growth as it includes the change in the price level.  

Real GDP is an inflation-adjusted method to measure economic growth. It measures a change in economic output on the basis of constant. It is thus considered a more accurate measure of the economic growth of a nation as it is not influenced by changes in the price level.

What are the issues of integrity, ethics and law posed in the case study? What options does the woman have, and what should she
Dovator [93]

The integrity, ethics, and law issues raised in the case study are illegal and unethical conduct.

The woman must reject the economic proposal made by the company and maintain her complaint so that the executive is judged for what she did because she would avoid future harm to other employees.

<h3>What is ethics?  </h3>

Ethics is a term that refers to moral philosophy. This focuses on the study of human behavior based on right and wrong according to duty. Contemporary ethics is usually divided into three branches which are:

  • Metaethics studies the origin, nature, and meaning of ethical concepts.
  • Normative ethics seeks norms or standards to regulate human conduct.
  • Applied ethics examines specific ethical controversies.

According to the above, it can be inferred that the situation presented is an example of an unethical and illegal act because the company and the executive want to bribe the employee to prevent the executive from being removed from his position and the company from being judged for endorsing that conduct of the executive.

Note: The question is incomplete because the information is missing. Here is the complete information:

Case study 4

A woman is sexually harassed by a top-level senior executive in a large company. She sues the company, and during settlement discussions she is offered an extremely large monetary settlement. In the agreement, the woman is required to confirm that the executive did nothing wrong, and after the agreement is signed the woman is prohibited from discussing anything about the incident publicly. Before the date scheduled to sign the settlement agreement, the woman's lawyer mentions that she has heard the executive has done this before, and the settlement amount is very large because the company probably had a legal obligation to dismiss the executive previously. The company however wants to keep the executive because he is a big money maker for the company.

What are the issues of integrity, ethics and law posed in the case study? What options does the woman have, and what should she do and why?

Lecturer Guidelines

Some of the issues raised by this case study include initial issues of unethical and unlawful conduct, by the executive and the company; whether the company should allow the executive to continue working because of the revenue he generates, in view of his propensity to harm co-workers, and whether this action is ethical or reflects integrity; whether the company should require the woman to state that the executive did nothing wrong as part of the settlement agreement; whether the woman should agree to this settlement in view of the harm future employees are being exposed to; and whether the woman is prioritising justice for herself over harm to future employees in an acceptable way.

Suppose your firm has a marginal revenue given by the equation MR = 10 - Q where Q is the quantity produced and sold. This means
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The answer is: A) When the marginal cost of producing an additional unit equals the marginal revenue from that unit.

Explanation:

In economics, we assume that a company´s main goal is to maximize its profit. In order for any company do to this, the marginal cost (MC) of producing an extra unit of production must equal the marginal revenue (MR) obtained by selling that extra unit of production.

Theoretically, in perfect market conditions, MR=MC in the equilibrium point between quantity supplied and quantity demanded. But on real world conditions elasticity of both demand and supply alter the curves.
