Answer:

Suzi

Explanation:

Comparative advantage is the relative edge that a person has over another in the production of a product. They use less resources to produce the product than others.

When two parties corporate in production the good to produce can be shared base on who has comparative advantage or the person that loses less in a production process.

In the give instance

Suzi can produce a shirt in 6 hours while Anna produces it in 3 hours. Anna is twice as fast as Suzi.

Suzi can bake a cake in 4 hours while Anna can do so in 1 hour. So Anna is 4 times faster than Suzi in baking cakes.

It will be best for Suzi to make shirts since she is only twice as slow as Anna.

Anna will be better off baking cakes as she is four times as fast here.

Mariana [72]

Answer: Altruism

             

Explanation: It refers to the behavior when an individual considers the benefit of other more important than the self benefit.

In the given case, the hotel chain has the sole purpose of providing best services to its customers. They are not ready to forego their dedication towards service even if it results in loss of their market share.

It is not a case of excellence as they are not charging extra for the same service to increase their profits.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is D.

If a company’s employees are found guilty of unethical behavior, the U.S. Sentencing Commission can impose a base fine and multi
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The first step is to compute the base fine by determining what level of offense has occurred.  After a base fine, the judge computes a culpability score, which is a way of assigning blame to the company. (This is important because the total fine is computed by multiplying the base fine by the culpability score).

The essence of the guidelines is not just to punish companies after their employees break the law, but rather to encourage companies to take proactive measures that will prevent white-collar crime before it happens.

An electronics company has factories in Cleveland and Toledo that manufacture three head and forehead VCRs. Each day the Clevela
Vesna [10]

Answer:

The Toledo factory should work for 20 days

The Cleveland factory should work for 50 days

Explanation:

Let me use abbreviations to denote each of the VCR produces:

Three head  VCR = THV

Four head VCR = FHV

we were told that:

Cleveland in one day produces; 500 THV and 300 FHV at a price of $18000, while Toledo in one day produces; 300 THV and 300 FHV at a price of $15000.

Information on order received:

THV = 25,000

FHV = 21000

Next let us use the common factor between both company locations to divide the production days between them, and the common product produced equally by these two factories is FHV where each of them produce 300 in a day.

hence to fill an order of 21,000 FHV, each factory has to produce 21000 ÷ 2 = 10, 500 orders each.

Now let us find how many days it will take to produce 10,500 orders if they produce 300 orders each day:

300 FHV = 1 day

∴ 10,500 FHV = \frac{1}{300} × \frac{10,500}{1} = 35 days.

Therefore, if both factories were to be producing the same amount of both THV and FHV each it will take them 35 days each to fill the order, but because Cleveland factory produces 500 THV while Toledo produces 300 THV, this will not hold since at the end of 35 days:

the Cleveland factory will produce 35 × 500 = 17,500 THV

the Toledo factory will produce 35 × 300 = 10,500 THV, bringing the total number of THV to 28,000 which is 3000 more than the order of 25,000 THVs

Next, we have to work backwards.Since the Cleveland factory has an excess of 3000 THVs, let us see how many days it will take to produce the excess 3000 THVs and remove that number of days from the Cleveland factory, while adding that same number of days to the Toledo factory, to even things out.

So removing one day from Cleveland will reduce production of THVs by 500, while concurrently adding one day to FHV will increase production of THV by 300, creating a net production of 200 THVs being removed.

Remember that the excess THV produced was 3000, to get the total number of days to remove from Cleveland and to add to Toledo, we will divide 3000 by 200.

∴ 3000 ÷ 200 = 15.

hence we will subtract 15 days from the original 35 days of Cleveland while we add 15 days to the original 35 of Toledo giving us:

Cleveland: 35 - 15 = 20 days

Toledo: 35 + 15 = 50 days.

now let us test our answer.

for THV:

Cleveland working for 20 days will produce; 500 × 20 = 10000

Toledo working for 50 days will produce; 300 × 50 = 15000

giving a total of 10000 + 15000 = 25,000 three head VCRs.

for Four Head VCRs (FHV)

Cleveland working for 20 days will produce; 300 × 20 = 6,000

Toledo working for 50 days will produce; 300 × 50 = 15,000

therefore total Four head VCRs produced = 6,000 + 15,000 = 21,000 VCRs.

and the total cost of production:

Cleveland; 1 day = $18,000

∴ 20 days = 18,000 × 20 = $360,000

while Toledo in 50 days = 15000 × 50 = $750,000. Hence the total amount for production = $360,000 + $750,000 = $1,110,000
