Answer:

a. Productivity in terms of revenue per dollar input:

Cost = Average time taken * Cost per minute + additional cost per search

Current cost = 64 * 1.70 = $108.80

Company A cost = (64 - 20 mins) * 1.70 + 3.50 = $78.30

Company B cost = (64 - 21) * 1.70 + 5.50 = $78.60

Productivity = Client fee / Cost

Current productivity

= 410 / 108.80

= $3.77

Company A

= 410 / 78.30

= $5.24

Company B

= 410 / 78.60

= $5.22

b. Company A is best.

Answer:

The correct answer is b. an implied contract.

Explanation:

The theory of implicit contracts refers to the fact that the relationship between employers and workers is governed, in addition to the "explicit" legal contracts signed between the two, by a multitude of tacit commitments established during the understanding between the two parties. Implied contracts are unwritten agreements and informal rules that companies have with their workers, and that, in many cases, are justified in the commitment to wage stability. In this theory, companies set wages within a broad and long-term strategy or stability of the employment relationship.

To find 20% of the value of the goods,
1,123 x 20% (this is the same as 1,123 x 0.2)
= 224.6

Add the salary and the commission,
425.00 + 224.6
