Answer:

(a) Cost to Score for an employee with $1,100.00 gross pay is $1,175.00.

(b) Cost to Score for an employee with $850.00 gross pay is $925.00.

Explanation:

The questions can be answered as follows:

a. Calculate the cost to Score for an employee with $1,100.00 gross pay in the first pay period in January.

This can be calculated as follows:

Cost to Score for an employee with $1,100.00 gross pay = Gross pay + Contribution to retirement fund = $1,100.00 + $75.00 = $1,175.00

b. Calculate the cost to Score for an employee with $850.00 gross pay in the first pay period in January.

This can be calculated as follows:

Cost to Score for an employee with $850.00 gross pay = Gross pay + Contribution to retirement fund = $850.00 + $75.00 = $925.00

c. Calculate the total gross semimonthly pay for all six employees.

This can be calculated as follows:

Cost to Score for 2 employee with $1,100.00 gross pay = $1,175.00 * 2 = $2,350

Cost to Score for 4 employee with $850.00 gross pay = $925.00 * 4 = $3,700

Total gross semimonthly pay for all six employees = Cost to Score for 2 employee with $1,100.00 gross pay + Cost to Score for 4 employee with $850.00 gross pay = $2,350 + $3,700 = $6,050

Which of the following would not be an expected response from a decrease in the price level and so help to explain the slope of

Naddik [55]

Answer:

The correct option which would not be an expected response from decrease in price level is A) with fall in prices, Fargo concrete company has decided to let go workers who have fixed price contracts.

Explanation:

All the options except A are expected response from the fall in price and helps in explaining why the aggregate demand curve shifted ( towards the right ) . In the option B , Tyler decided to remodel his kitchen because of fall in prices, as now he is able to spend more on consumption and investment activities. Same thing is happening in option C and D as the company's here are increasing their investment spending due to the decreased prices.

But the option A , isn't something that was expected as company's don't usually fire their workers just because they have fixed price wage contract and prices have fallen, company is trying to take advantage of fallen prices by reducing the fixed wage workers and hiring new workers on a cheap wage , which help in reducing the company's cost.

Degger [83]

Answer:

a) attached below.

b) for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium

c) will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase

Explanation:

<u>a) 2 * 2 payoff matrix describing the decision faced by the athletes </u>

attached below

when both players take the drug the payoff for each player = $5000 - x

when neither player takes the drug the payoff for each player = $5000

When only one player takes the drug his payoff = $10000 - x

<u>b) If we consider the value of $x to be involved in the Nash equilibrium then </u>

; $5000 - $x > 0 becomes the best response

hence for $x < $5000 will cause taking the drug to be part of the Nash equilibrium

c) Lowering the negative effect of the drug ( i.e. when the value of x is reduced )

will make the athletes feel better because the value their payoff will increase
