Consider an economy which produces and sells, among a host of other things, 100 million T-shirts a year. The average T-shirt begins life when a farmer plants seeds she put away last year, waters them, harvests the cotton, then sells the cotton to a mill for $0.75, which sells the fabric to a T-shirt factory for $1.50, which sells the T-shirt to a wholesaler for $5, who sell it to Nordstrom for $10, which finally sells it to you for $17. Calculate the income earned for each firm involved in the production of T-shirts. Then, calculate the total income contribution from T-shirt production to GDP. a. The farmer earns $ per T-shirt. b. The mill earns $ per T-shirt. c. The T-shirt factory earns $ per T-shirt. d. The wholesaler earns $ per T-shirt. e. Nordstrom earns $ per T-shirt. f. Total income earned: $ billion

An outside manufacturer has offered to produce 60,000 daks and ship them directly to andretti's customers. if andretti company accepts this offer, the facilities that it uses to produce daks would be idle; however, fixed manufacturing overhead costs would be reduced by 75%. because the outside manufacturer would pay for all shipping costs, the variable selling expenses would be only two-thirds of their present amount. what is andretti's avoidable cost per unit that it should compare to the price quoted by the outside manufacturer?

An employer who is considering hiring eva has asked donna, eva’s former supervisor, for a report on eva. in truth, eva’s work for donna has been only average. however, eva is donna’s friend, and donna knows that eva probably will not get the job if she says anything negative about eva, and donna knows that eva desperately needs the job. further, donna knows that if the situation were reversed, she would not want eva to mention her deficiencies. nevertheless, it has been donna’s policy to reveal the deficiencies of employees when she has been asked for references by employers, and she knows that some of eva’s faults may be bothersome to this particular employer. finally, this employer has leveled with donna in the past when donna has asked for a report on people who have worked for him. should donna reveal deficiencies in eva’s past performance? (remember to use one of the three moral theories acceptable for this test to solve this dilemma. any discussion of any personal opinion, religious perspective, or theory other than the moral theories acceptable for this test will result in a score of "0" for this question.)
