EC399 – Literature Review Aileen McEvilly – 13425962 Piece Rates versus Time Rates as Methods of compensation. A piece-rate system compensates workers according to some measure of output while time-rate workers are paid according to the number of hours they work.

I have carried out research on two of the different compensation methods on how workers are evaluated for payment on the work they
Since the beginning of the 2007, Americans have worried about their individual finances, especially when it comes to future financial security. With the recent recession crippling most Americans ideas of retirement, a proposal has been presented with hopes of lessening the burden to senior citizens when it comes to retirement.1 The proposition that NIFI.org advances is increasing the Social Security Income Tax on households, asking for a raise from the current 6.2% to a future 7.2%. NIFI.org contends
monopolist like this company would choose the output where MC=MR. This output will be somewhere over the price range where demand is price elastic and will be sold at the price consumers will pay. If the total revenue is higher than the production costs, it will make abnormal profits. This will be a permanent feature. In monopoly, there is no distinction between the short run and long run because of the barriers that prevent the entry of competitors. There is no economic incentive for the monopolist
Transport is the influence of distribution cost. Therefore the chosen mode of transport should be at apposition of protecting the goods from damage thus not endangering the future of the business. In reference to the article regarding the distribution centers, several retailers like the Tesco & Sainsbury have diverted all their warehousing to various logistic companies to offer transportation services. In an economic point of view, marginal cost (MC) is equal to marginal revenue (MR), (Acemoglu, 2012). This

5. We learned that a firm should hire employees as long as the rule that marginal revenue product exceeds marginal cost holds. Many firms management training programs where new hires are paid well for a year or two but do not produce much value during that time. Are such firms behaving in violation of the rule? Explain your answer. 6. Give
single variable • Building a demand function and then a revenue function • Definitions e.g. Non-linear and dynamic functions; Decision-making under certainty, uncertainty and risk Practice Questions: x2 20 (a) Find an expression for the marginal revenue first using the limit definition and again using rules for differentiation. 1. Revenue function of producing and selling x units of a product is: R(x) = 20 x − R(x+h) = 20( x + h) − ( x + h) 2 ( x 2 + 2 xh + h 2 ) = 20 x + 20h
drugs at low costs. Since small lack the expensive infrastructure needed to mass produce drugs, it is often in their best interest to be acquired by Big Pharma companies. The following economic analysis will show how larger firms have greater economies of scale when compared to smaller firms. First, lets assume that the bigger firm has a cost function of C(q) = 115 + 2q2, a marginal cost function of MC = 4q, and an average cost function of AC =. Average cost divided by Marginal cost results in a
about how cost-plus pricing works (Thomas & Maurice, 2010). Furthermore, let us consider this discussion can enable you in the future to make better choices. It has been my experience in a few cases that the insurance company will evaluate property damages by the overall cost (Araujo, 2017). But in order to better understand what challenges you had with your friend the contractor, let us create a fictitious example. First, the contractor figures out materials cost, however, that cost does not stand
