Answer: d. May not discriminate, subject to time lapse
Explanation:
Alphonso in this scenario may not discriminate by hiring a Latino because his worry is that they will be unable to fit in with his permanent workers. The extra workers are temporary workers who will be soon gone so there is no need for them to fit in that with the permanent workers so Alphonso may not discriminate based on this.
Answer:
60 pizzas
40 pizzas
Explanation:
Marginal product measures the change in output as a result of a change in input by one unit
Marginal product = change in output / change in input
Marginal product for the 4th worker
Change in output = 360 - 300 = 60 pizzas
Change in input = 4 - 3 = 1 worker
Marginal product = 60 / 1 = 60
Marginal product for the 5th worker
Change in output = 400 - 360 = 40 pizzas
Change in input = 5 - 4 = 1
Marginal product = 40 / 1 = 40
It can be seen that marginal product decreased from 60 to 40 when the 5th worker was added. This illustrates diminishing marginal returns.
The law of diminishing returns says as more units of a variable input is added to a fixed income of production, output might increase at a point but after some time total output would increase at a decreasing rate and marginal product would be decreasing.
Answer:
c. $74,450
Explanation:
The computation of the Net present value is shown below
= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor + salvage value - initial investment
where,
The Initial investment is $120,000
All yearly cash flows would be
= Annual net operating cash inflows × PVIFA for 6 years at 14%
= $50,000 × 3.8887
= $194,435
Refer to the PVIFA table
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the value would equal to
= $194,435 - $120,000
= $74,435 approx
Answer:
p = 59.11 dollars
Explanation:
Given
Price: p(x) = 8eˣ (0 ≤ x ≤ 2)
Revenue; R = x*p = 8xeˣ
p = ? when R be at maximum
We can apply
dR/dx = d(x*p)/dx = 0
⇒ d(8xeˣ)/dx = 8*(1*eˣ + x*eˣ) = 0
⇒ eˣ*(1 + x) = 0 ⇒ x = - 1
as x = - 1 ∉ [0, 2]
then, we have
p(0) = 8e⁰ = 8
R = 0*8 = 0
If x = 1
p(1) = 8e¹ ≈ 21.74
R = 1*21.74 = 21.74
If x = 2
p(2) = 8e² ≈ 59.11
R = 2*59.11 = 118.22
Implies that, R(x) is maximum at x = 2.
Thus, the price that maximize the revenue of the company is 59.11 dollars.
