Answer:
C. the less productive the process is.
Explanation:
Variability refers to the property when the given substance are highly probable to change and that the results accordingly change.
In that condition there is no drawn pattern for such change, as it might or might not change according to the expected scale and level.
In this, if there is high variability, then the results can be that the resulting process will be least productive, as there are so many uncontrollable changes.
Accordingly, since no proper management of the related process is possible, the results will not be productive.
The more they focus on a task the more efficient they become at this task, which means that less time and less money is involved in producing a good.
Answer:
the depreciation expense for 2022 is $3,000
Explanation:
Straight line method of depreciation charges a fixed amount of depreciation over the period of use of an asset.
Depreciation Expense = (Cost - Residual Value) / Number of useful life
= ($81000 - $21000) / 5
= $12,000
The Annual depreciation charge for this machine will be $12,000 for each of the years that it is used in the business.
However since it was paced in use during the year that is 1 October, we have to apportion the Annual charge withe number of months that its has been in use during 2022.
It has been used for 3 months thus depreciation charge is :
Depreciation = 3/ 12 × $12,000
= $3,000
Answer:
C. increase in modernization by new investors.
Explanation:
Privatization is the transfer of ownership of property or business owned by government to a private entity.
Privatization generates capital to be invested in strategic areas and help to reduce the continuing drain on future natural resources. The new private investors causes economic growth by modernizing the acquired property or business from the government.
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at
a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they
would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is
450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass
the cost benefit analysis.
If the fireworks' cost is to be split
equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let
us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely benefitted by this measure. Only he would
We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.
2) Town of River Heights:
We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community
is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than
their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be
bought.
However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.
Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.
3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.
Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.
The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.
