Kara was out jogging and, despite being tired, decided too run one more mile. Based on her actions, economists would conclude that Kara decided that the marginal cost of running one more mile would outweigh the benefit of the additional mile. decided that the marginal benefit of running one more mile would outweigh the cost of the additional mile. must be an avid runner. was not very tired, so the marginal cost of the extra mile was very low.
Answer:
decided that the marginal benefit of running one more mile would outweigh the cost of the additional mile.
Explanation:
Kara's marginal cost of running that extra mile was probably being extremely tired, with some muscle pain, etc., while the marginal benefits of running that extra mile probably included losing some extra weight, improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen her muscles, etc.
When she decided to keep on running despite being already tired, she probably believed that the marginal benefits generated by running that extra mile outweigh the marginal costs of doing so.
The same happens to any company that decides to sell their products only if the price (benefit) is higher than their costs.
Answer:
The marginal benefit of running one more mile would outweigh the cost of the additional mile
Explanation:
Marginal Cost and Marginal Benefit
Marginal cost and marginal benefit represent the way the value or the cost of an action, a service or product changes. Marginal cost and marginal benefit in production is such that a consumer considers the marginal benefit of a product to him while a manufacturer considers the marginal cost.
This then determines the actions or decisions of the consumer to buy the product, take the action or patronise the service, and it also determines the pricing and marketing decision of a manufacturer
Marginal benefit which can also be called maximum benefit has the tendency to however decrease as consumption or action decreases until it comes to a point where the consumer sees that the cost of the action outweighs the benefit and then stops the action.
The more marginal benefit one considers is derivable from a thing, the more action the individual is willing to take to acquire that thing. The more marginal benefit which also mean the maximum benefit a person seems to derive from an action, the more of that action the individual is willing to take.
In the case of Kara, she decides to run one more mile despite the tiredness because of the realisation that there is still a maximum benefit that outweighs the tiredness she is feeling.
Before a customer's agent delivers his policy, the insurer makes a last-minute change to the policy. The agent inform the customer of this change, and he accepts it. What must the agent do now?
A) If the change would affect the premium, the agent must have the customer sign a statement acknowledging the change
B) The agent should ask the customer to sign a statement acknowledging that he is aware of the change
C) Nothing. After the explanation, the agent is not legally bound to do anything else
D) The agent must notify the beneficiary of the change in policy
Answer:
B, The agent should ask the customer to sign a statement acknowledging that he is aware of the change.
Explanation:
Just like in any contract, when there is a change in the details of the contract, it is mandatory that both parties are notified and that there is a document and signature confirming the acknowledgement of the changes.
So also in the case of this policy, the agent has to notify the customer of changes made to his policy and ensure the customer signs an acknowledgement of the change to avoid a breach of contract. When a customer is ignorant of a change to his policy, he can file a lawsuit against his agent and insurer depending on who is at fault.

Under the utilitarian model of ethics, the following is true: a. Ethical decisions involve producing the best outcome for managers. b. The use of a cost-benefit analysis for alternative actions is undertaken. c. Corporate decisions must create the greatest amount of good for the least numbers.
Answer:
The answer is b) The use of a cost benefit analysis for alternative actions is undertaken.
Explanation:
The concept or idea behind the utilitarian model of ethics is that what is right should be separated from what is wrong by using the outcome of action as basis of judgement. The aim of the act should be the greatest good for the greatest number of people. In options A and C, the outcome benefits only a specified or particular group of people whereas option B, the use of cost-benefit analysis, which is one of the main areas that applies utilitarianism is businesses, best suits this ideology.
Answer:
Ethical decisions involve producing the best outcome for managers.
Explanation:
Under the utilitarian model of ethics, ethical decisions involve producing the best outcome for managers because because the concept of Utilitarianism holds that what is ethical is determined by focusing on outcomes. Hence it looks at consequences and believes that the most ethical choice is that which brings forth the greatest good for the greatest number.
In the light of the above meaning of utilitarianism, it is clear that it is not a cost-benefit analysis (which is the given option b) neither does it hold that what is ethical creates the greatest amount of good for the least numbers (option c) but for the greatest number.
A food manufacturer hires people based on their technical qualifications, has a classical hierarchy of authority, and ensures all administrative acts are recorded in writing. What style of management does it practice?
Answer:
Bureaucratic Management
Explanation:
In a bureaucratic management form, the emphasis is laid upon technical skills and qualifications and follows long hierarchy wherein each level issues commands to the level below it.
Bureaucracy has often been criticized for the delay it causes in decision making process as every person is answerable to his superior and a decision has to pass several levels of hierarchy.

Economic theory is: A. the specification of a set of assumptions. B. a prediction about cause and effect. C. the development and use of a model to test hypotheses. D. None of the above.
Economic theory involves the development of models to test hypotheses about the economy. Option C correctly describes this as the use of a model to test these economic hypotheses.
Economic theory can be understood as a well-developed set of ideas that propose an explanation for observed economic phenomena and can be used to make predictions about future economic observations. When economists engage in the development and use of a model to test hypotheses within the framework of the scientific method, they create a series of simplifying assumptions to manage the complexity of real-world data.
Thus, for the given case option C, which states that economic theory is 'the development and use of a model to test hypotheses,' accurately reflects the process by which economic theories are formulated and validated.

If a video game manufacturer required its resellers to stock a line of games based on the financially-disappointing movie War of the Worlds in order to carry games based on the popular TV show Survivor, it would be an example of_______
Answer:
bundling a slow mover with a fast moving product.
Explanation:
One of the most effective ways in which a manufacturer or a retail store can get rid of slow movers (products with low sales level) is by bundling them with some fast moving product (products with high sales level). Usually slow movers are added as a promotion with a steep discount, but it is better to recoup some money than nothing.
When manufacturers bundle slow movers with a fast moving product they do this because the retailers need the fast moving product (high demand) or their sales will decrease. Video game retailers really want the games about the Survivor show and they will probably be willing to buy a small amount of no good War of the Worlds game in order to get them. They might also use the same sales strategy and bundle the War of the Worlds game with some other slow mover game and make a 2 for 1 sale.
______ is an increase in the price level, while ______ is an increase in the price of one good in comparison to other goods and services.
Answer:
Inflation and Relative Price Increase
Explanation:
Inflation represents an increase in all prices or wages which results in a drop or reduction in money's purchasing power. Of course, the drop in the purchasing power of money is as a result of the inability to use the same amount of money used in a previous period to purchase the same quantity of goods in the current period as a result of a general shift in prices.
A Relative Price Increase on the other hand, unlike inflation is not a general price increase as a result in change of monetary policies, it represents changes in the price of individual goods as response to the flows of demand and supply of different goods in teh economy. An increase in the relative price of goods for instance could be as a result of demand greater than supply while a decrease is the vice versa of teh phenomenon.
Inflation is a monetary policy effect, while relative price increase is a market (demand and supply) caused effect on goods and services.
In 2013, selected automobiles had an average cost of $15,500. The average cost of those same automobiles is now $17,205. What was the rate of increase for these automobiles between the two time periods?
Answer:
11%
Explanation:
Average cost of automobiles in 2013 = $15,500
Average cost of automobiles now = $17,205
Change in average cost = $17,205 - $15,500
= $1,705
Rate of increase in cost is the ratio between the increase and the average cost before the increase.
Rate of increase = ($1,705/$15,500) × 100%
= 11%
The rate of increase for these automobiles between the two time periods is 11%.

In 2011, the value of the GDP deflator is 113. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.) In 2012, the value of the GDP deflator is 119. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
Answer:
2011 = 113
2012 = 119
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
GDP deflator = (Nominal GDP) ÷ (Real GDP) × 100
For 2011, it would be
= ($13,495 billion) ÷ ($11,919 billion) × 100
= 113
For 2012, it would be
= ($14,241 billion) ÷ ($12,007 billion) × 100
= 119
In order to find out the GDP deflator, we divided the Nominal GDP by the Real GDP
The GDP deflator is a price index that measures inflation or deflation in an economy by comparing Nominal GDP and Real GDP. It is calculated by dividing Nominal GDP by Real GDP and multiplying by 100.
Explanation:The GDP deflator is a price index that measures inflation or deflation in an economy. It is calculated by dividing Nominal GDP by Real GDP and then multiplying by 100. For example, if the Nominal GDP is $100,000 and the Real GDP is $45,000, then the GDP deflator will be 222. This means that prices have increased by 122% since the base year.

Answer: Price skimming.
Explanation:
Price skimming is a product price setting method in which, a new product's market entry price is set to be very high, and then gradually reduced with time to gain more price sensitive consumers in the market. The price skimming effectively works for a product that doesn't have much competition in the market.

This tactic is commonly used in industries like music and electronics, where high demand can justify initial high costs. However, price skimming grows less effective as competition increases and market demand levels out.
Explanation:Charging a relatively high price for new and innovative products to those consumers most willing and able to pay the high price is referred to as price skimming. Examples of such strategies can be seen in the music industry, where some bands with huge fan bases can set sky-high prices for their concert tickets. Similarly, innovative business leaders like Samsung's CEO believe in continuously creating innovative products that consumers want, and their new offerings may initially have high prices due to this added value proposition. However, the effectiveness of price skimming usually reduces in time as competitors catch up with similar offerings and market saturation begins to limit demand.
