The marginal, or additional, gain from Kyoko's first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is 80 problems.The marginal gain from Kyoko's third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is 40 problems.
Later, the teaching assistant in Kyoko's chemistry course gives her some advice. "Based on past experience," the teaching assistant says, "working on 30 problems raises a student's exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour." For simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of pages during each hour they spend reading.
Given this information, in order to use her 4 hours of study time to get the best exam score possible, how many hours should she have spent working on problems, and how many should she have spent reading?
- 3 hours working on problems, 1 hour reading

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

When Kyoko solves problems during 3 hours and reads for 1 hour, her learning utility is equivalent to 150 problems solved.

Explanation:

We are not given the information about what happens between 9:00 to 10:00 AM, so we can assume that their is no marginal gain from solving problems during that hour.

Kyoko will be able to solve 120 problems (= 80 + 40) during 8:00 to 11:00 AM. Apparently she will not be able to solve any other problems beyond 11:00 AM, so in order to maximize her learning utility she must find another activity that will help her raise her test scores.

She has 1 free hour and we know that reading for 1 hour is equal to solving 30 problems, so she could decide to do that (apparently is that or doing nothing).

When Kyoko solves problems during 3 hours and reads for 1 hour, her learning utility is equivalent to 150 problems solved.

According to the​ text, firms encounter rising costs when they attempt to produce more in the same time period. As a​ consequence, they must be offered a higher price to be willing to incur these higher costs. The resulting relationship between price and quantity supplied isA. direct​ (or positive) and is called the law of demand.
B. inverse​ (or negative) and is called the law of supply.
C. direct​ (or positive) and is called the law of human nature.
D. direct​ (or positive) and is called the law of supply.

Answers

Answer:

D. direct​ (or positive) and is called the law of supply.

Explanation:

According to the law of supply, when the price of product is increases, then the quantity supplied of that product would also increases and if the price of product is decreases, then the quantity supplied of that product would also decreases. That means it shows a direct or positive relationship between the price and the quantity supplied keeping other factor constant i.e they do not changed.

El Tapatio purchased restaurant furniture on September 1, 2021, for $43,000. Residual value at the end of an estimated 10-year service life is expected to be $5,800. Calculate depreciation expense for 2021 and 2022, using the straight-line method, and assuming a December 31 year-end.

Answers

Answer:

2021 = $1,240

2022 = $3,720

Explanation:

Depreciation is basically a decrease in useful life of an asset and it can be calculated by using the following formula:

Depreciation = Cost - Residual Value/Estimated useful life

Per year Depreciation = ($43,000 - $5,800)/10 = $3,720

For 2021

As the asset is purchased on September 1, 2021 so only four months depreciation needs to be charged which is as under.

Depreciation = $ 3,720 * 4/12 = $1,240

2022 = $3,720

For 2022 full twelve months depreciation needs to be charged even if the asset is idle so the total depreciation expense would be $3720

Merrill Lynch : Case study Summary of Case The case profiles the financial crisis at Merrill Lynch at the end of the last decade, which was acquired by Bank of America for $50 billion. B of A received government assistance during the financial crisis from (and was covered by) TARP (the Troubled Asset Relief Program). One initial consequence of TARP coverage was that some employees, including some high-level,high-revenue generating employees began to leave larger financial institutions like Merrill Lynch/Bank of America to go to so-called "boutique" financial services firms, which had not received TARP money and thus were not covered by TARP restrictions on compensation. Another initial reaction was an increase in base pay levels and a decrease in bonus levels, apparently in response to all of the negative publicity bonuses had received and as a way to get around TARP restrictions. Students are expected to analyze the decision of Merrill Lynch to change employee compensation just to get around TARP restrictions on compensation. However, now, that some time has passed, the economy has recovered (somewhat), and the stock market has bounced back, Merrill Lynch and other financial services companies are making money again. At Merrill Lynch, there is always a lot of action and discussion around compensation strategy. Merrill introduced a plan to expand its number of financial advisors by 8 % (about 1,200 people). Where would they come from? Other firms? How would Merrill get them to move? By offering unusually high up-front signing bonuses and decentralizing authority to make such offers. Traditionally, top brokers from other firms can receive 1.5X their pay at the firm they are leaving. Merrill was not the only firm looking to add top brokers. Indeed, what was described as a "bidding war" broke out, and signing bonuses were reported to have gone as high as 3X or 4X previous pay in some cases. Why the bidding war? "Wealth management firms make the bulk of their profits on the top 10 percent of their producers" according to compensation attorney Katten Muchin. And, very wealthy clients tend to be more loyal to their advisors than to the advisors’ firms. At Merrill, there are some concerns among financial advisors. First, in the non-Merrill part of Bank of America, brokers are under a discretionary bonus system rather than an (objective) incentive system where pay is based on a formula. Merrill financial advisors fear that Bank of America wants to extend that system to cover them. Second and likely related, non-Merrill brokers at B of A are expected to cross-sell—in other words, to push products sold by other parts of the bank. The opportunities for such synergies are typically seen as a source of competitive advantage for a large, diversified financial institution such as B of A. However, cross-selling performance (and cooperation) is difficult to assess objectively. Thus, subjective evaluations are likely necessary. Merrill brokers appear to be opposed to cross-selling, both because they are concerned it could undermine their relationships with their clients and because they prefer to have their pay determined by objective measures. 3. Should Bank of America change its compensation strategy to include more subjective assessments of performance and a greater emphasis on cross-selling? What effect might this have on its success in the bidding war for top brokers? 5 Marks
