Answer:

The correct answer is Option (E).

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Worker Wage = $8

Rate of corn bushel = $2.75

Work done = 3 bushels per labor hour

So, from this we can calculate the marginal revenue of product,

Marginal revenue of product =  Rate of corn bushel × Work done

= $2.75 × 3 = $8.25

As, Marginal Revenue > Wage

More marginal revenue means more profit.

Hence, Mr. Cobb should  hire more labor because the marginal revenue product exceeds the wage.

DanielleElmas [232]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Give examples of operational conflicts that could occur in a cross-cultural context because of different attitudes towards:1) time, 2) individualism.

Well, let's start with time. In the United States, time is of the utmost importance. There we have the old saying: "Time is money."

In the workplace, everything is based on the smart and efficient use of time. No time must be wasted in the workplace.

Individual effort is important in the American culture, but the team effort, the concept of being a good team player is very important under the following premise: teams can accomplish more than individuals.

What most Americans desire is individual recognition through team effort.

That is why team sports are so good in the United States because they exemplify the way teams function and what they can accomplish. For instance, college and pro football, basketball, and baseball.

The region that has a different approach, is Latin America. This does not mean that is better than the other, just that there are major differences between the two.

The management of time is very different in Latin American countries. It is not as important as the US. People in Latin America approach the concept of time in a more relaxed way. In Latin America, there is a more relaxed approach to time. Nothing is urgent, Things take time. Things are made at a different pace compared to the US.

And regarding individualism, Latin American people tend to prefer to be more individualistic to do things trying to get some recognition, The team concept is not as developed as in the US.

Why does Joe's demand curve have a negative slope? Joe only has so much money; when other things get more expensive he must buy
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The answer is: He needs the price of coffee to go down to convince him to buy more.

Explanation:

A demand curve (almost) always has a negative slope. As a product gets more expensive, the amount of people willing to buy that product decreases. So if the product gets cheaper, the more people are willing to purchase it.

The opposite happens with the supply curve, as the price of a product increases, the more companies are willing to sell that product.

The owner of a quick oil-change business charges $ 20 per oil change and has 40 customers per day. If each increase of $ 2 resul
Airida [17]

Answer:

maximum income is $900

Explanation:

given data

oil change = $20

per day = 40 customer

increase = $ 2

dailer customers = 2

owner charge = $ 2

to find out

income from the business

solution

we know current income is 40 × 20

current income = $800

we consider here price increase x and income as function y

so y = (20 +2x) × ( 40 - 2x)    ........1

y = −4x² + 40x + 800

take derivative and put dy/dx = 0 for maximum

dy/dx = -8x + 40

0 = -8x + 40

x=5

so here from 1

y = (20 +2x) × ( 40 - 2x)

y = (20 +2(5)) × ( 40 - 2(5))

y = 30 × 30

y = 900

so maximum income is $900

Ware Co. produces and sells motorcycle parts. On the first day of its fiscal year, Ware issued $35,000,000 of five-year, 12% bon
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Cash proceeds is $37,702,607.23  

First premium amortization $214,869.64

Second premium amortization is $225,613.12

First year interest expense is $ 3,759,517.24  

Explanation:

The amount of cash proceeds from the bond issue is the pv of the bond using the pv formula,=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is 10% yield to maturity divided 2 since interest is semi-annual i.e 5%

nper is 5 years multiplied by 2=10

pmt is the semi-annual interest payable by the bond i.e $35,000,000*12%*6/12=$2,100,000

fv is the face value of the bond at $35,000,000

=-pv(5%,10,2100000,35000000)

pv=$37,702,607.23  

The amount of premium to be amortized in first semi-annual interest payment:

Interest expense=$$37,702,607.23*10%/2=$1,885,130.36  

coupon interest=$35,000,000*12%/2=$2,100,000

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36  

premium amortized=$214,869.64  

The amount of premium to be amortized in second semi-annual interest payment:

interest expense=($37,702,607.23+$2,100,000-$1,885,130.36)*10%/2

                           =$1,874,386.88  

Premium amortized=$2,100,000-$1,874,386.88

premium amortized=$225613.12

Bond expense for the first payment= 37,702,607.23*10%/2  

                                                           =$1,885,130.362

Bond expense for the first payment=  37,487,737.59  *10%/2  

                                                           =$ 1,874,386.88  

First year bond interest expense= 1,874,386.88+1,885,130.362  

                                                      =$ 3,759,517.24
