<span>The correct answer is that it depends on the specifics of the incentive plan. A general incentive plan that is not linked directly to productivity will typically become old news to staff within a few years. What was once an incentive will become familiar and may be viewed as an entitlement as staff start looking for the eternal "what's next?". An incentive directly linked to some kind of productivity (e.g. hours worked) will have a far longer shelf life (though this will, of course, vary by employee). In this scenario the ongoing incentive remains year over year (e.g. the hours of overtime worked in the previous year will have no bearing on the current year so if you want a similar result you will need to maintain your effort whereas if you want a better result you will have to increase your effort). All incentive plans, however, are subject to the rules of diminishing marginal utility to the employees and will diminish over time as the employee either becomes comfortable at a certain productivity level or becomes disenchanted by other factors. In summation: an incentive plan, if designed properly, can work for a relatively long period of years though results may vary by employee as everyone is motivated by different things (though providing an alternative incentive to money may somewhat mitigate this additional potential problem).</span>

If a bank depositor withdraws $1000 of currency from an account, what happens to bank reserves, checkable deposits, and the mone
shusha [124]

Answer:

a) reserves fall by $1,000, checkable deposits fall by $10,000, and the monetary base remains unchanged

Explanation:

The bank reserves will decrease by the same amount that the client withdrew from the bank, in this case $1,000.

Since the required reserve ratio for checkable deposits is 10%, then the checkable deposits will decrease by 10 times the amount withdrawn from the bank ($1,000 x 10 = $10,000).

The monetary base remains unchanged since the money is still out there in the economy, it only changed from being in the bank to being in the client's pocket.

Income/ (loss) for the year = Equity balance at the end +dividend paid- equity balance at the beginning

=$67,000+22,000-$60,000

=$29,000

Since  no additional common stock was issued during the year, $29,000 represents income earned during the year before dividend is paid. After dividend of $22,000 has been paid, the balance of $7,000 profit will be added to retained earnings .

Neilsen Cookie Company sells its assorted butter cookies in containers that have a net content of 1 lb. The estimated demand for
velikii [3]

Answer:

46,734 units per run

Explanation:

total estimated demand = 700,000 containers

setup costs per production run = $546

manufacturing cost = $0.47 per container

holding cost = $0.35 per container

r = 700,000 / x

total setup costs = 546r = 546 (700,000/x) = 382,200,000/x

production costs = 0.47 x 700,000 = 329,000

storage cost per unit= 1/2r x 0.35 = 0.35/2(700,000/x) = 0.35x/1,400,000

total storage costs = 700,000 x 0.35x/1,400,000 = 0.175x

C(x) = 382,200,000/x + 0.175 x + 329,000

now we find the derivative:

C'(x) = -382,200,000/x² + 0.175

382,200,000/x² = 0.175

382,200,000 = 0.175x²

x² = 382,200,000 / 0.175 = 2,184,000,000

x = √2,184,000,000 = 46,733.28 ≈ 46,734 units per run

this answer is based on a continuous production process, there are 14.98 runs per year
