Answer:

Free slack.

Explanation:

In project management, free slack refers to the amount of time that a certain task can be delayed and not affect the completion time of the general project. Slack time can be considered "just in case" time, because even though delays should be minimized, rarely you can eliminate them completely, and slack time gives you a little extra room for managing projects.

In this case, the free slack time is 10 days, and this delay will consume 9 of them.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

(1) Demand Determinant - No. of buyers

Supply Determinant - None

When people decided to have more children then this will result in more number of buyers. This will affect the demand for a particular good and shifts the demand curve towards right.

(2)Supply Determinant - Input prices

Demand Determinant - None

Steel is an input for the firms and if there is an increase in the price of steel then as a result cost of production increases which results in lower supply for their product.

(3) Supply Determinant - Technology

Demand Determinant - None

New technology will increase the productivity of the firms and hence, increase the supply of the products.

(4) Demand Determinant - Price of substitute or complimentary goods

Supply Determinant - None

If the price of substitute good rises then as a result demand for minivans increases. This will shift the demand curve rightwards.

(5) Demand Determinant - Income

Supply Determinant - None

Decrease in the wealth of the consumers will result in lower demand for the minivans. Therefore, demand curve shifts leftwards.

ozzi

Answer:

$40,000 per year; $37,500 per year; $40,000.

Explanation:

From the question above, we are given the following parameters; Alpha Firm offers a salary = $40,000 per year + no bonuses, "Beta Firm offers a base salary of $35,000 per year with a 25% chance that you will receive an annual bonus of $10,000".

So, to answer the question,the expected salary of working for Alpha Firm will surely be = $40,000 per year.

At Beta Firm the expected salary is = $35,000 + 0.25($10,000) = $37,500.

Therefore, if I was risk neutral, the expected value of the year bonus offered by Beta Firm would need to be at least $40,000 for me not to be indifferent to the choice between the two options.
