Answer: to protect the economic freedom of all of its citizens

Explanation:

The above quote by Adam Smith was him criticizing the common practice in those days of nations trying to control the spending habits of their citizens by passing restrictive laws and limiting the importation and production of certain goods and services.

It would therefore support the U.S. policy of protecting the economic freedom of her citizens such that they may trade whatever it is that they want - so long as it is legal - without restrictions by the government.

Why might some firms voluntarily pay workers a wage above the market equilibrium
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

b) Paying higher wages can reduce a firm's training costs.

c) Paying higher wages encourages workers to be more productive.

d) Higher wages attract a more competent pool of workers.

Explanation:

Firms will hire more labor when the marginal revenue product of labor is greater than the wage rate, and stop hiring as soon as the two values are equal. The point at which the MRPL equals the prevailing wage rate is the labor market equilibrium.

The idea of the efficiency wage theory is that increasing wages can lead to increased labour productivity because workers feel more motivated to work with higher pay. Paying higher wages encourages workers to be more productive. Higher wages attract a more competent pool of workers. Workers stay with employers longer (instead of seeking out better-paying work with other companies) reducing businesses’ turnover, hiring, and training costs.

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each machine can process 100 customers per day. One machine will result in a fixed cost of $2,100 per day, while two machines will result in a fixed cost of $3,900 per day. Variable costs will be $17 per customer, and revenue will be $45 per customer.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

<u>1 machine:</u>

Break-even point in units= 2,100/ (45 - 17)

Break-even point in units= 75 costumers

<u>2 machines:</u>

Break-even point in units= 3,900/ 28

Break-even point in units= 139 costumers

If the demand is from 90 to 120 costumers per day, the company should buy 1 machine. <u>With this level of demand, the company will not cover the costs of two machines. </u>

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

D. $285,000

Explanation:

When a company is acquired by another company, the parent company (the new owner) must report the assets at fair market value - amortization.

FV = $300,000

amortizable value = $100,000

depreciation for 3 years (2017, 2018 and 2019) = ($100,000 / 20) x 3 = 415,000

reported value = $300,000 - $15,000 = $285,000
