Answer:

Answer to this is both option (i) and option (iii).

Explanation:

Change in technology generally affects the change in productivity as well as the change in labor demand. In the case of Labor-augmenting (improving) technology, it is found that the positive change in technology leads to the increasing marginal productivity of labor. This increase of marginal productivity of labor shifts the labor-demand curve towards right. Thus, Labor-augmenting (improving) technology causes marginal productivity of labor to increase which further leads to shifting of the labor-demand curve towards right.

Assume the market basket contains 20X, 30Y, and 50Z. The current-year prices for goods X, Y, and Z are $2, $6, and $10, respecti
Aneli [31]

Answer:

CPI for the current year  = 200

Explanation:

Given;

Contents in market basket

20X, 30Y, and 50Z

The current-year prices for goods

X = $2

Y = $6

Z = $10

The base-year prices are

X = $1

Y = $3

Z = $5

Now,

Total cost of market basket in the current year

= ∑ (Quantity × Price)

= 20 × $2 + 30 × $6 + 50 × $10

= $40 + $180 + $500

= $720

Total cost of market basket in the base year

= ∑ (Quantity × Price)

= 20 × $1 + 30 × $3 + 50 × $5

= $20 + $90 + $250

= $360

also,

CPI for the current year = \frac{\textup{Cost of market basket at current year prices}}{\textup{Cost of market basket at base year prices}}\times100

or

CPI for the current year = \frac{\$720}{\$360}\times100

or

CPI for the current year = 200

Virty [35]

Answer:

Letter A is correct.<u> </u><em><u>Unsystematic</u></em><em> </em>risk.

Explanation:

Unlike systematic risk, which is an inherent market risk, unsystematic risk is inherent in a specific sector or company.

The case in point concerns the investment of former AlphaEnergy employees, which is a unsystematic risk, as the investment risk in single-company shares includes regulatory changes, management changes, loss of market due to competition and withdrawal of the product from the market.

To reduce this type of risk, investors should seek diversification in their stock portfolio.

While stocking the shelves with a new soup, the store manager notes a difference in price between the 16-ounce can and the 32-ou
asambeis [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Cost-Plus Pricing Strategy.

Explanation:

To begin with, a ''Cost-Plus'' is the name that a pricing strategy receives in the field of marketing and business that mainly focuses on the pricing of a product by the cost of it plus a certain porcentage of benefit, considering this last one as the benefit margin. Moreover, this type of pricing strategy is one of the most common ones in the field, typically the businesses use this type of pricing strategy due to the fact that it is easy to establish and it does not consider complex terms.

Secondly, in this case where the manager notices such a difference in the prices of the two cans is due to the fact that the manufacturer put less commodities and less effort in the can of 16-ounce rather than in the other can of 32-ounce where there is more soup and therefore there is more cost in that can, establishing that a higher price must put in that one.
