Answer:

a variable interval schedule.

Explanation:

An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.

Basically, an employee is saddled with the responsibility of providing specific services to the organization or company where he is currently employed while being paid a certain amount of money hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the contractual agreement between the two parties (employer and employee).

Hence, while an employer may be the owner of a business firm or company, an employee is a subordinate employed to provide unwavering services to the employer while also, being professional and diligent at all times.

In this scenario, the company founders put on disguises and make unannounced visits to different stores so as to ensure that the staff is treating customers politely. Thus, this is an example of a variable interval schedule.

Operant conditioning can be defined as an associative learning process which involves reinforcing the strength of a behavior.

Schedule of reinforcement is the precise timing pattern or rules which presents or removes a reinforcer or punisher respectively, with respect to an operant behavior. There are four (4) main types of schedule of reinforcements and these includes;

I. Intermittent schedules.

II. Interval schedules.

III. Response-duration schedules.

IV. Ratio schedules.

Ratio schedules typically involves reinforcement after a specific number of correct responses only. It is divided into two (2) main categories and these are;

I. Fixed ratio (FR) schedules.

II. Variable interval (VI) schedules.

Under a variable interval (VI) schedule of reinforcement, the target behavior is reinforced on the average of a specified number of correct actions.

Under a variable ratio (VR) schedule of reinforcement, a target behavior is reinforced by an employer or person on the average of a specified number of correct actions by another.

A monopolist introduces a technological innovation that lowers the marginal cost and average cost of production. The price of th
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

A Price: Remain constant, Level of Output: Remain constant, Profits: Increase

Explanation:

The image attached shows the different possible solutions. Options can be eliminated based on the problem statement. First, Options B, C and D can be discounted because of the change in output levels. From the information available, the technological innovation lowers marginal cost and cost of production, however it does not affect production time or output levels.

For the two remaining options, A and E, both are possible scenarios based on the information available.

Option E:

Price decreases, output level remains the same and profit remains the same. While this is a possible outcome, as the business is a monopoly, there is no incentive for the monopolist to reduce prices along with cost as they are already the only player in the market. Especially when the reduction in price does not result in increased profit.

Option A:

Price and output level remain constant, while profit increases. This is the most likely outcome as the business is a monopoly. The owner can take advantage of the reduced costs and sell at the same price to increase profits.

Suppose that, at an official ticket price of $480, there are 6,000 Justin Timberlake fans wanting to attend his concert, but onl
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

A. The market clearing price of the tickets is more than $480.

Explanation:

Market-clearing price is a level where the quantity demanded of a product matches or the quantity supplied. At this price, A product or service does not experience any surplus or shortages.  It is the price where the demand curve and the supply curve intersect. The market-clearing price is the same as the equilibrium price.

As the price of $480, the demand for the show is at 6000, but supply is at 4000. There is a surplus in demand. The price of $480 is attractive to more people than supply can handle. Matching supply and demand would require the price to be set above the $480.

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

cash                   96,535 debit

discount on BP    3,465 debit

          Bonds Payable          100,000 credit

Explanation:

We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:

Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\  

Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000

time 4  (2 years x 2 payment per year)

rate 0.06  (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)

5000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-4} }{0.06} = PV\\  

PV $17,325.5281  

 

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity (face value)   $100,000.00  

time   4.00  

rate  0.06

\frac{100000}{(1 + 0.06)^{4} } = PV  

PV   79,209.37  

 

PV c $17,325.5281  

PV m  $79,209.3663  

Total $96,534.8944  

As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:

100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465

the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity

we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds
