Answer:

B. The firm believes in maintaining a certain amount of excess capacity to meet unexpected changes in demand.

Explanation:

Production possibility curve shows the different combinations of two products that can be manufactured by a business. The production possibility frontier is the maximum combination of products a business can produce with given resources.

Beyond this point increase in production of one will lead to decreased production of the other.

So if excess stock of both products is being kept in anticipation of demand, the company is still operating within its PPF and has excess resources.

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

CarmelRugs plans to sell carpets for $1,000 each. The company will purchase the carpets from a local distributor for $400 each, with the privilege of returning any unsold units for a full refund.

Jean’sClub has offered Carmel Rugs two payment alternatives for the use of space.

Option 2:

Break-even point= (400+200)/(1000-400)=1 carpet (no fixed cost)

maria [59]

Answer:

These two statements are correct:

A. Potential employers may have believed that those with black-sounding names had completed less education.

African Americans on average have less rates of graduation from tertirary education than White Americans.

This situation might lead some employers to develop streotypes about African Americans being less educated, when it is clearly an error, and unfair, to reject a potential employee because of stereotyping instead of making an individualized analysis of his or her abilities.

D. Hiring firms may have believed that those with black-sounding names were more likely to have a criminal conviction.

African Americans on average are incarcerated more often than other ethnic groups in the US. The reasons for this are complex but poverty and racial discrimination are two big factors. This situation causes some employees to develop streotypes, leading to unfair situations as described in the first answer.

The correct answer is option C and D.

Furkat [3]

Answer:

25.29%

Explanation:

the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:

  • Rex's capital balance = $370,000
  • Sandy's capital balance =  $280,000
  • Marcus contributed a building worth = $220,000

the partnership's total capital = $370,000 + $280,000 + $220,000 = $870,000

Marcus's share in the partnership = value of building / partnership's total capital = $220,000 / $870,000 = 25.29%
