Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": Diminishing returns.
Explanation:
The Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns states that as the number of new workers increases, an additional employee's marginal product at some stage would be less than the previous employee's marginal product. This is because at a certain point adding more employees implies not having enough space for the new hires to work which diminishes the marginal return of every new individual hired by the firm.
Answer:
1-a.
in order to determine the present value of option a we can look for the PVIFA (annuity factor) for 24% / 12 = 2% monthly rate and 25 payments.
PVIFA = 19.523
Present value of the 25 payments = $540 x 19.523 = $10,542.42
+
Present value of final payment = $10,000 / (1 + 24%)²⁵/¹² = $6,388.10
PV = $16,930.52
Present value of option b = $16,638
1-b.
- b. option b (lower present value)
Answer: B. 1023, 1500, 2000}
Explanation:
The Optimal solution should contain the set of quantities that would require the lowest no. of orders to achieve a discount in a class.
1,023 is quite close to the lowest amount required of 1,000 in the 1,000 to 1,499 range.
So are 1,500 and 2,000.
Option D can also work but it has too many order quantities and will inflate the price.
The Optimal Solution therefore has to be from this option.
