Susan Williams runs a small Flagstaff job shop where garments are made. The job shop employs eight workers. Each worker is paid $10 per hour. During the first week of March, each worker worked 45 hours. Together, they produced a batch of 144 garments. Of these garments, 52 were 'seconds' (meaning that they were flawed). The seconds were sold for $100 each at a factory outlet store. The remaining 92 garments were sold to retail outlets at a price of $210 per garment. What was the labor productivity, in dollars per labor-hour, at this job shop during the first week of March? Labor productivity dollars/labor hour (round your response to two decimal places)

The question is the last bolded test. You need the previous questions to answer the last. Thank you for your time and help. You are the manager of a firm that sells CR2032 batteries for car key fobs and other electronic goods. You typically sell the fobs for $7 for a four-pack and sell an average of 27,192 four-packs per month. Due to increased labor costs, you decide to raise the price to $9 per four-pack. When you do this your monthly sales fall to 22,248 four-packs Assuming that your firm’s demand function is linear (i.e., takes the form ), calculate the linear demand function 22,248-27,192/9-7= -4944/2= -2472 Demand equation as 27,192 = a-2472(7) => a=27192+17304 =>a=44,496 27192= -2472x7+b 27192= -17304+b 27192+17304=44,496 Demand function is Q= -2472P+44,496 . Using the demand function that you estimated in the previous problem Calculate demand and total revenue when the price is $7 Q= -2472x7+44,496= -17,304+44,496= 27,192 Total revenue=PxQ=7x27,192=…
QUESTION 3 (Figure: US Business Cycle Expansions and Contractions) From the data on averages for all cycles we can conclude that over time: Business cycles data.pdf O The number of cycles during 1945-2020 exceeded the number of cycles during 1854-1919. The number of cycles during 1919-1945 exceeded the number of cycles during 1945-2020. The average duration of contractions during 1854-1919 was shorter than the average duration of contractions during 1945-2020. The average duration of expansions during 1854-1919 was shorter than the average duration of expansions during 1945-2020.

QUESTION 2 You work for a big retail chain that operates in a large number of regional markets and you want to investigate the effect of increased marketing spending on sales. You randomly select half of the markets and increase the marketing budget in these markets by 10%. The rest of the markets are allocated the same marketing budget as before. Then comparing the average sales in the markets with increased marketing budget and average sales in the remaining markets will give an unbiased estimate of the true causal effect of increased marketing spending on sales. True O False
Brown orally told Black to build him a wooden garage 25 feet long and 15 feet wide, having a concrete floor, overhead doors, and a sloping roof covered with asphalt shingles. No other specifications were stated. The agreed-upon price was $5,600. The agreement and details were not recorded in writing. Black built the garage, but she included no windows and no electric lights. Brown claimed that these two items were included in the agreement by implication. Is Brown correct in this matter?
A few minutes ago, Joe Doe learned that his company was having a bad year and thus merit salary increases will be smaller than expected. His division’s budget has been set and so he knows that he will receive a salary increase of $400 over his present salary. Joe Doe has also been offered a transfer to another division in the company. He is unsure of the salary situation in the other division. However, his best information leads him to conclude that if he took the new job, there is a 60% chance that he would receive a salary increase of $600 over his present salary, and a 40% chance that he would receive only a $150 increase over his present salary. To summarize, Joe Doe can either stick with his current job and get a salary increase of $400, or take a transfer to a new job and get a salary increase of either $600 with a 60% probability, or $150 with a 40% probability. Amount ($X) Value (v($X)) $0 -5 $150 -2.5 $200 -2 $300 0 $350 0.5 $400 1 $600 1.85…
In October 2015, amid rising fears about the security of credit card transactions, financial institutions and businesses made the transition to using chip cards. Unlike the quick swipe of a magnetic stripe on the back of traditional credit and debit cards, chip cards have to be left inside the terminal while the embedded chip verifies the transaction. While there is no consistent method for measuring transaction speed, news agencies report average chip speeds of anywhere from 8 seconds to 13 seconds. The switch to chip readers was precarious, with many businesses taping over the chip card slots in the terminals until the kinks were worked out. Even after a year, some businesses still could not process chips and continued to utilize the magnetic stripe for transactions. Financial institutions thought the additional security benefits of the chips would overshadow the added wait times. Yet a survey conducted by Harbortouch, a leading point-of-sale company, in 2016 showed that nearly four…
