Answer:
60 pizzas
40 pizzas
Explanation:
Marginal product measures the change in output as a result of a change in input by one unit
Marginal product = change in output / change in input
Marginal product for the 4th worker
Change in output = 360 - 300 = 60 pizzas
Change in input = 4 - 3 = 1 worker
Marginal product = 60 / 1 = 60
Marginal product for the 5th worker
Change in output = 400 - 360 = 40 pizzas
Change in input = 5 - 4 = 1
Marginal product = 40 / 1 = 40
It can be seen that marginal product decreased from 60 to 40 when the 5th worker was added. This illustrates diminishing marginal returns.
The law of diminishing returns says as more units of a variable input is added to a fixed income of production, output might increase at a point but after some time total output would increase at a decreasing rate and marginal product would be decreasing.

Answer:
Value of scholarship today = $30,484.90
Explanation:
The value of the Scholarship is the present value of the annual payment of $9,000 discounted as the annual interest rate of 7% per annum.
This can be computed using the formula below
Present Value = Annual cash flow × (1- (1+r)^(-n)/r)
n -number of years, r-interest rate
rate r- 7%, n=4, Annual cash flow = 9,000
Present Value = 9,000× (1-1.07^-4)/0.07
= 9,000× 3.3872
= $30,484.90
Value of scholarship today = $30,484.90
Answer:
• It could prevent a will from going into probate
•It avoids confusion if the primary beneficiary on dies first
•It allows for another option if the primary beneficiary cannot inherit it
Explanation:
A Secondary beneficiary otherwise known as contingent beneficiary is a person or an entity who has been named in a Will, insurance policy or trust to inherit assets therein should the main or primary beneficiary dies before the grantor.
Secondary beneficiary is important because should the primary beneficiary dies first, he is entitled to the benefits therein inorder to avoid confusion as to who should inherit the deceased's assets. It is also important because it provides other option where the primary beneficiary is not able to inherit the will i.e not found at the time of grantor's death or disclaim inheritance in the will, the secondary beneficiary inherits same and also prevent the will from going into probate i.e allowing it to pass through the court process which is oftentimes time consuming .
