Answer:
B) average total cost must be rising
Explanation:
Marginal cost is the rate at which total variable cost increases when one more unit is produces.
So when marginal cost is larger than average cost, it means that total average costs must be increasing.
For example, we have the following production costs:
- total costs = $100
- units produced = 20 units
- total average costs = $5 per unit
If the marginal cost of producing 1 more unit is $6, then the total costs will be $106 and the total average cost will be $5.05 per unit (= $106 / 21 units).
Answer:
summarizes and documents the firm's financial activities during the past year
Explanation:
A firm's annual report must include a comprehensive report about the firm's financial and operational activities throughout the year. The SEC requires public corporations to prepare and disclose quarterly reports (every 3 months) that are available to both stockholders and other people interested in them. Generally private companies are required to prepare at least one annual report.
Answer:
1. When income transfers to the ablebodied poor increase, the recipients will have less incentive to work.
The incentive to work for most people is earning a wage to make a living.
For the poor, this incentive is even more so, because usually, the lack of work for them means severe lacking in their material needs: shelter, food, clothing, electricity, drinking water, and so on.
If the poor are given income transfers from the government, they will have less incentive to work simply because they now obtain some income without the need of doing so.
The incentive to work is reduced even more if the income transfers to the ablebodied poor increase so much that they become higher than the minimum wage. In a situation like this, many ablebodied poor will simply stop searching jobs because they can earn more money from the government by not working.
