Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The army contract

Explanation:

Productivity can be measured by output per hour. i.e.

dividing the total output by hours worked.

productivity = output/hours worked

The navy contract

output =4,300

the hours worked = 20 workers working for two weeks, each week has 40 hours

Each worker worked 40 x 2 hours = 80 hours

20 workers worked for

80 hrs x 20

= 1600 hours

Productivity = 4,300/1600

=2.6875

For the military contract

output = 8300

hours worked

=  25 workers in three weeks, each week 40 hours

each worker worked, 40 x 3 hours = 120 hours

Twenty-five workers:

=25 x  120 hours

= 3000 hours

Productivity = 8300/3000

=2.766

The productivity for the military contract (2.766) was higher than for the navy contrac t(2.6875).

B. its hurdle rate. C. the status of a true conglomerate. D. Stage III. E. a leveraged buyout.

Answers

Answer: A. Synergy

Explanation:

Apart from being a great sounding word, Synergy is a concept that is usually used for mergers between 2 or more companies to show that the value and performance of combined companies can be greater than them working independently.

In this scenario however, Synergy would refer to each division of this company working better together as opposed to apart.

In contrast to a capitalist society, how does a persons income function in a socialist society?

Answers

A persons income functions similarly in both capitalists and socialist societies today. "Socialism" as an idea or theoretical economic model has not been fully implemented in most societies that use some socialist concepts. In European countries like France, Sweden, or Denmark they use both principles of capitalism and socialism. In that they are integrated into the global economy and take part in trade and also regular business they are capitalists, however, they have large social protections in the form of government services etc. which are paid for with high taxes. The major difference in incomes in these two systems are that in capitalist societies tend to have lower taxes than socialist societies, but give less state services or welfare than socialist societies.
