<span>Yes, Sam can sue the company because the company violated the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act. This act says companies must offer benefits to old workers who face discrimination. The benefits must be equal to the company's current workers and this company failed to follow this act.</span>

Private solutions to correct for externalities consider the following scenario:________.
Charra [1.4K]

Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.

The type types of private solutions to the pollution externality which has occured is charity. This is because it is a voluntary activity. The money collected is meant for a specific objective which is to tackle the issue of pollution.

It is also vital to note that sometimes the private solutions to externalities might not work. For example, this occurs when communications barriers or social customs are important enough relative to the potential gains involved that coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly.

scoray [572]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

A budgetary fund is an income account and thus a debit balance suggests a deficit on the fund account. This means that governing bodies of City of Goodville have spent more money in their expenditures than they have brought in as income from the fund. This will be recorded as a liability in the balance sheet. Where as a credit balance would be a surplus and recorded as  an asset.

. A company produces two products, A and B, which have profits of $9 and $7, respectively. Each unit of product must be processe
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

(a) Linear model

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y \le 60

4x + 8y \le 40

x,y \ge 0

(b) Standard form:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y + s_1 = 60

4x + 8y +s_2= 40

x,y \ge 0

s_1,s_2 \ge 0

Explanation:

Given

\begin{array}{ccc}{} & {Hours/} & {Unit} & {Product} & {Line\ 1} & {Line\ 2} & {A} & {12} & {4} & {B} & {4} & {8} & {Total\ Hours} & {60} &{40}\ \end{array}

Solving (a): Formulate a linear programming model

From the question, we understand that:

A has a profit of $9 while B has $7

So, the linear model is:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y \le 60

4x + 8y \le 40

x,y \ge 0

Where:

x \to line\ 1

y \to line\ 2

Solving (b): The model in standard form:

To do this, we introduce surplus and slack variable "s"

For \le inequalities, we add surplus (add s)

Otherwise, we remove slack (minus s)

So, the standard form is:

So, the linear model is:

max\ P = 9x + 7y

Subject to:

12x + 4y + s_1 = 60

4x + 8y +s_2= 40

x,y \ge 0

s_1,s_2 \ge 0
