Answer: b. Positive reinforcement and punishment

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement is a way of encouraging certain behavior by adding something pleasant when the subject does something that it desirable or a stimulus. James giving the employees some incentives (something pleasant) when they meet required targets (something desirable) is therefore positive reinforcement.

Punishment on the other hand, refers to taking away something pleasant in response to the subject doing something that isn't very desirable. In this scenario, James would take away the incentives (pleasant) in response to the employees behaving unprofessionally (isn't very desirable).

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

The fixed cost, variable cost per unit and the total cost is $3,800, $4 per unit ,and $6,000 respectively

Explanation:

1. The computation of the variable cost per unit is shown below:

= (High total cost -  low total cost) ÷ (High number of cavities - low number of cavities)

= ($6,500 - $5,200) ÷ (675 - 350)

= $1,300 ÷ 325

= $4

2. The computation of the fixed cost is shown below:

Fixed cost  = total cost -  Variable cost

                  = $6,500 - (675 × $4)

                  =  $6,500 - $2,700

                  = $3,800

3. And, the total cost for 550 cavities would be equal to

= Fixed cost + variable cost

= $3,800 + (550 cavities × $4)

=  $3,800 + $2,200)

=  $6,000
