There are two types of residents in the Maine cities of Kittery and York, wealthy retirees and middle-class retail workers. Both Kittery and York provide snow plowing services for their citizens. Wealthy retirees have trouble driving on snowy roads, so they value snow plowing services more than middle-class retail workers. The value that wealthy retirees receive from snow plowing services is: Uw (S) = 20Sº.5 + 8S The value that middle-class retail workers receive from snow plowing services is: UM(S) = 40Sº5 + 5S, where S is the number of snowplows that the city owns and operates. The per-resident cost of snow plowing services is 10S. Assume that each city has 100 residents, and they are distributed as shown in this table: Kittery York Wealthy 70 30 Middle-class 30 70 Determine how many snowplows wealthy retirees prefer and how many snowplows

What is the major distinction between an employee and an independent contractor? An independent contractor is required to be licensed, bonded and to carry insurance. Independent contractors are hired using contracts, while employees must be in at-will relationships with employers. The employer has the right to control an employee's behavior and how s/he does the job, but an independent contractor has exclusive (or near exclusive) control over the way the job is done. An independent contractor never owes fiduciary duties to a contracting partner.
