In the following excerpt, a writer tries to persuade this supervisor to respond to a government request for proposals (RFP) to b

uild an unmanned surveillance plane for the military. Which aspects of the paragraph undercut the effectiveness of the passage?
I think we are making a serious mistake by not responding. If we don't respond to this proposal, we will lose our competitive edge. At a conference last month, for example, I spoke to a couple of people who said the market for unmanned surveillance aircraft will grow exponentially during the next 10 years. Can we talk about this more at next week's planning meeting?

Explanation:

The writer poses only two alternatives when in fact there might be more alternatives.

These two are :

1. "If we don't respond to this proposal, we will lose our competitive edge".

2. "I spoke to a couple of people who said the market for unmanned surveillance aircraft will grow exponentially during the next 10 years."

It also tries to draw conclusions based on inadequate samples.

It states that the claim is valid since the person making the claim is a government authority.

10. What is the opportunity cost in daffodils to go from 0 tulips to 300 tulips? How does
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

As the decrease in the tulip's quantity in the both cases is the same, hence the opportunity cost will also be the same required that the marginal cost remains constant.

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the value lost in opting to alternative option. This means that if an ice cream costs me $10 then the opportunity cost of eating an ice cream would be $10 because I haven't enjoyed an alternative of an ice cream which would be worth $10. Likewise, if I am deciding to attend a party but I have previously purchased cinema tickets worth $50 then the opportunity cost of attending the party would be $50 and opportunity cost of watching movie would be the loss of entertainment at the party.

The opportunity cost of producing 0-300 tulips is $5 per tulip then it is more likely that the cost of producing 600-900 tulips will also be $5 per tulip.

Thus the opportunity cost here for each case will be:

Case1 0-300 Tulips: 300 Tulips * $5 per Unit = $1500

Case2 600-900 Tulips: 300 Tulips * $5 per Unit = $1500

But if the cost of producing first 300 units of tulips are different from the third 300 units of tulip then there will be of course a difference in opportunity cost.

Can you guess the profession of the two siblings?

Jacob should be a screenwright. That's because playwrights usually don't brainstorm and don't have teams who help them write or anything similar, they do it on their own. Producer's job is getting money for the project, not writing anything so it's not a producer either.

Andrew should be a playwright. Playwrights have absolute authority over their work and since it's thorough and has references and points as to how everything should look, there's nothing that should be changed in production. He attends rehearsals to see how it all sounds and looks.
