Suppose a family has saved enough for a 10 day vacation (the only one they will be able to take for 10 years) and has a utility

function U = V1/2 (where V is the number of healthy vacation days they experience). Suppose they are not a particularly healthy family and the probability that someone will have a vacation-ruining illness (V = 0) is 20%. What is the expected value of V?

Answer:

2 Days

Explanation:

First, there is the need to rewrite the utility function for clarity

U=V^{1/2}

1. The Probability of Falling ill by someone in the family is given as 20%

2. If someone should fall ill, the total number of days that would be spoiled is calculated as:

Total number of vacation= 10 days x Probability to fall ill = 20%

= 10 x 0.2 = 2 days

This means if someone should fall ill based on the probability, then 2 out of the total 10 days can be ruined

3. The number of days for vacation days to enjoy is 10-2 = 8 days

This means if the family gives up 2 days of probable illness, they can still enjoy their vacation.

V= 2 days

An empty lot is located in a neighborhood of single-family homes. It is the only empty lot in this well-maintained neighborhood.
yuradex [85]

Answer: D - A single-family home

Explanation:

Highest and best use can be described as the use of a vacant site that creates the highest value after construction costs and alternative uses of the vacant lot has been sybtracted. The area where the empty lot is located is residential, therefore it would be inappropriate to situate a factory there. Also a store is located nearby,so it would be unnecessary to build a store on the empty land. Same goes with a parking lot, a parking lot shouldn't be situated in a residential area; it would not be needed in a residential area.

Why should employees review their hiring process
saveliy_v [14]

Answer: Because that gives them an idea if the company is taking into account the necessary aspects of hiring someone.

Explanation:

Hiring is an important part of the process of any company, the employer wants to be sure that is taking the right candidate but this process needs to be done in the best way possible. When employees review their hiring process they can see if they had a good or not so good hiring process, this means if during the process they felt comfortable and if the employer took into account the right aspects of what the company is looking for.

The hiring process needs to be fair and that is something the employees should felt. They also need to evaluate if they had the right abilities to do the job and if that was taking into account.
