Answer:
Diminishing returns to labor
"if there are diminishing returns to labor , then as more workers are hired the total amount produced by all of the workers will decrease."
The above statement is not correct.
The total amount produced by all of the workers will not decrease. It will increase, but the increase will not be as much as it was before the continued increase in labor because of the law of diminishing returns.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing returns to labor explains that the marginal increase in total output will not be the same as it was before the increase because one of the inputs in production, like capital is kept constant, while labor is being continuously increased. The reason for this is that the capital assets will not be enough for the increasing population of labor when the entity has reached its full capacity. Unless capital assets (capacity) is increased as labor is increased, there will reach a point when the production per labor will start to decrease instead of increasing, but the total production will continue to increase.
In Economics, the law of diminishing returns holds that if one input is held constant (capital) while other inputs ( e.g. labor) are being increased, a point is reached when the additional inputs yield smaller output or diminishing returns relative to the increasing inputs. This law is also called the principle of diminishing marginal productivity. This principle teaches managers to be aware that if they want to achieve total increases in productivity, it is not only one input that should be increased, especially after a point.

Q2. 90% of flights depart on time. 80% of flights arrive on time. 75% of flights depart on time and arrive on time. Are the events, departing on time and arriving on time, independent?
Answer:
Events departing on time and arriving on time are NOT independent.
Explanation:
If two events A and B are independent, then
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B)
Here
A = flights depart on time
B = flights arrive on time
P(A) = 0.90
P(B) = 0.80
If A and B are independent, then
P(A and B) = P(A) * P(B) = 0.9 * 0.8 = 0.72
Since
the observed value of P(A and B) is 0.75,
assuming that there are no observation errors, we conclude that the two events A and B are not independent.
(10 marks) 1. Looking at Nigeria as a potential emerging market, mention and explain 4 factors you think are preventing Nigeria from becoming an excellent emerging market to invest in? 2. If you were given the chance, resources and power to change Nigeria, which one out of the 4 problems identified above would you try to solve and how would you do it?
Answer:
1. Political instability
2. High cost of taxation
3. Insecurity
4. Changes in law and policy
Explanation:
1A. Political instability. The uncertainty regarding political decisions is one of the major threat to foreign investment in Nigeria. Where there are daily crises in terms of political events, such will scare away potential investors. Moreover, if government changes regulations guiding businesses or do not enforce such changes, it may cut down the returns that should ordinary be made by the investors hence discourage them from making further investment.
1B. High cost of taxation. Emerging economies such as Nigeria imposes too many taxes on local and foreign investors who have their companies situated there. For instance, the federal government through Federal lnland Revenue services is saddled with the responsibility of collecting various types of taxes such as company income tax, withholding taxes etc. Moreover, state governments also levy taxes on these companies for situating and carrying out business transactions in their state.
1C. Insecurity. The prevalence insecurity in the North East discourages investors from investing in Nigeria. The country has to grapple with the daily threat posed by these terrorist. Again, the activities of these terrorist group including the dreaded bandits and local militants have claimed and destroyed lots of lives and properties over the years. Due to their constant and continuous activities, Nigeria has been included among terrorist nations hence scares investors away from coming to invest in the country because no one would want his or her investments to be destroyed.
1D. Changes in law and policy. Emerging countries such as Nigeria is used to changing laws regulating businesses constantly. Most of these changes come through variation of existing contracts such as using executive powers(circulars, administrative orders,directives etc). The continuous changes in law and policy is capable of discouraging investors from investing in the country.
2. If I have the resources to change any of the above, I would change political instability. The reason is that a country that is not stable politically cannot attract foreign investment. I would try as much possible to bring together all the political players in the country by asking them to ignore their political differences hence work towards common good of the country.

Answer:
The book value will be "13,500". The further explanation is given below.
Explanation:
The given values are:
Total acquisition cost,
= $33,000
Expected,
= 60,000
Depreciation expense per unit will be:

Riku Company manufactures two products. The budgeted per-unit contribution margin for each product follows: Super Supreme Sales price $ 68 $ 94 Variable cost per unit (38 ) (44 ) Contribution margin per unit $ 30 $ 50 Riku expects to incur annual fixed costs of $540,000. The relative sales mix of the products is 70 percent for Super and 30 percent for Supreme. Required Determine the total number of products (units of Super and Supreme combined) Riku must sell to break even. How many units each of Super and Supreme must Riku sell to break even?
Answer:
Super= 10,500
Supreme= 4,500
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Spuer:
Contribution margin= $30
Sales proportion= 0.70
Supreme:
Contribution margin= $50
Sales proportion= 0.30
Fixed costs= $540,000
First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units for the whole company:
Break-even point (units)= Total fixed costs / Weighted average contribution margin
Break-even point (units)= 540,000 / (0.7*30 + 0.3*50)
Break-even point (units)= 15,000 units
Now, for each product:
Super= 15,000*0.7= 10,500
Supreme= 15,000*0.3= 4,500

When using this it can be easy to forget that you have given permission for your money to be withdrawn from every period because you are not dealing with it directly. This means that you might even forget to adequately fund your account to enable the payment.
This type of payment is however very convenient as it means that you do not have to sign orders or checks every period because the payment just goes through automatically without bothering you.

You would have to tell the merchant to stop collecting the payments sometimes by letter. Then you would have to issue a stop order to your bank to make sure they stop the payments. Then you have to ask for an update after some days from all parties to ensure that indeed your request has been carried out.
