Answer: B) $16
Explanation:
First lets take down the data given to us;
access from a certain leading provider can be represented as p = 5 minusone half q i.e 5 - 0.5q
Using the concept of two-part terrific which is a monopolistic market system, it is type of price discrimination where the price of goods and services are of two section namely; a lump-sum fee (expensive) as well as a per-unit charge .
Entry fees are set to be equal to the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium.
So we calculate our price and quantity in the competitive equilibrium first, marginal cost is equal to price
5 - 0.5q = 1
4 / 0.5 = q
q = 8
Now the intercept of the demand curve at the vertical axis is 5,
so the consumer surplus in the competitive equilibrium is:
M = (5 - 1) * 8 / 2
M = 4 * 4
M = 16
the monthly access fee will be equal to $16.

Total; $75,000,000 100.00% $74,000,000
Protab Selling Price = 100000 units × $720 = $72,000,000
Selling price of option to purchase probook = 100000 units × 20% utilisation * $150 = $3000000
Selling price of option to purchase extended warranty = ($70 -$70)×100000 units * 40% = $0
Total = $75,000,000
Percentage of Protab selling price of Total Selling Price = $72,000,000 /$75,000,000 = 96%
Percentage of Option to purchase Probook of Total Selling Price = $3,000,000 /$75,000,000 = 4%
Percentage of Option to purchase extended warranty of Total Selling Price = 0 .00%
Total Transaction Price = 100000 units × $740 = $74,000,000
Allocation of Total Transaction price to Protab = $74,000,000 * 96% = $71040000
Allocation of Total Transaction price to Option to purchase probook = $74,000,000 * 10% = $2960000

The concept and principle require that expenses and revenue are matched in the period they were incurred and not when they were actually paid for or received.
Consider the following data on U.S. GDP: Year Nominal GDP GDP Deflator (Billions of dollars) (Base year 2009) 2016 18,707 105.93 1996 8,073 73.18 The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1996 and 2016 was______, and the growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1996 and 2016 was:_______.
Answer:
Data on U.S. GDP
a) The growth rate of nominal GDP between 1996 and 2016 was 131.72%, calculated as follows:
= (2016 nominal GDP - 2009 nominal GDP) / 2009 nominal GDP x 100
= (18,707 - 8,073)/ 8,073 x 100
= 131.72%
b) The growth rate of the GDP deflator between 1996 and 2016 was 44.75%, calculated as follows:
= (2016 GDP deflator - 1996 GDP deflator)/ 1996 GDP deflator x 100
= (105.93 - 73.18)/73.18 x 100
= 44.75%
Explanation:
1. Data on U.S. GDP
Year Nominal GDP GDP Deflator (Billions of dollars) (Base year 2009)
2016 18,707 105.93
1996 8,073 73.18
2. According to wikipedia.com, "the GDP deflator (implicit price deflator) is a measure of the level of prices of all new, domestically produced, final goods and services in an economy in a year."
3. Nominal GDP is a way of assessing an economy's economic production. It includes the current prices of goods and services. The GDP measures the monetary value of goods and services produced in an economy within a given period.
4. Growth rate refers to the percentage change of a specific variable within a specific time period. It is calculated as the difference between the current year's variable and the base year's variable, divided by the base year's variable, and then multiplied by 100.
Andrea Apple opened Apple Photography on January 1 of the current year. During January, the following transactions occurred and were recorded in the company's books:
1. Andrea invested $13,500 cash in the business.
2. Andrea contributed $20,000 of photography equipment to the business.
3. The company paid $2,100 cash for an insurance policy covering the next 24 months.
4. The company received $5,700 cash for services provided during January.
5. The company purchased $6,200 of office equipment on credit.
6. The company provided $2,750 of services to customers on account.
7. The company paid cash of $1,500 for monthly rent.
8. The company paid $3,100 on the office equipment purchased in transaction #5 above.
9. Paid $275 cash for January utilities.
Based on this information, the balance in the A. Apple, Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity at the end of the month would be:
A. $31,400.
B. $39,200.
C. $31,150.
D. $40,175.
E. $30,875.
Answer: D. $40,175
Explanation:
The balance in the Capital account reported on the Statement of Owner's Equity will include the Capital contributions of Andrea Apple to the business as well as the Net income from operations also known as Retained Earnings.
The Net Income for the month will be revenue less expenses.
Revenue
$5,700 cash and $2,750 on account for services provided in January.
Revenue is therefore,
= 5,700 + 2,750
= $8,450
Expenses
Expenses include the rent paid of $1,500 and the $275 paid for January Utilities.
= 1,500 + 275
= $1,775
Net Income = Revenue - Expenses
Net Income = 8,450 - 1,775
Net Income = $6,675
The Capital that Mr. Apple brought into the business refers to anything he contributed to the business whether in cash or otherwise.
The Capital therefore is,
- The $13,500 cash and the $20,000 worth of equipment.
The Capital Mr. Apple brought into the business is therefore,
= 13,500 + 20,000
= $33,500
The balance on the capital account will therefore be,
= Capital + Net Income
= 33,500 + 6,675
= $40,175
Option D. is correct.
Toxemia Salsa Company manufactures five flavors of salsa. Last year, Toxemia generated net operating income of $40,000. The following information was taken from last year's income statement segmented by flavor (brackets indicate a negative amount):
Wimpy Mild Medium Hot Atomic
Contribution margin $(2000) $45,000 $35,000 $50,000 $162,000
Segment margin $(16,000) $(5000) $7000 $10,000 $94,000
Segment margin less
allocated common fixed
expenses $(26,000) $(15,000) $(3000) $0 $84,000
Toxemia expects similar operating results for the upcoming year. If Toxemia wants to maximize its profitability in the upcoming year, which flavor or flavors should Toxemia discontinue? A no flavors should be discontinued B wimpy C wimpy and mild D wimpy, mild, and medium
Answer:
C wimpy and mild
Explanation:
The Allocated fixed Common overhead is irrelevant for this Decision because the expense is a head office expense which is managed by a Head office department.
Of our interest is the Incremental Revenues and Expenses that result from existence of a Segment (Segment Margin).
The segment margin consists of controllable Fixed and Variable costs attributable to a particular segment.
Discontinue flavor giving a negative Segment Margin that is : Wimpy and Mild
Suppose initially, vertical portion of the supply curve intersects the demand curve on its downward portion. Graphically show the case where an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves does NOT lead to a change in the equilibrium fed funds rate.
Answer:
Kindly Check Explanation section
Explanation:
NB: Since, we are to show graphically and there is need to draw, kindly check the attached file for the graph that shows the case where an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves does NOT lead to a change in the equilibrium fed funds rate.
The concept of RESERVE is very important in accounting. The amount of money that is saved up from the normal profit of a business organization or company or a country which is being used for further efficient Production In the long run is known as RESERVE.
For a country, it is the central bank in such country that pays the interest with regards to reserves that are in excess.
It must be noted that as the rate of supply increases , the rate of at which the value of price is also reduces. Hence, when there is an increase in the interest rate paid on reserves the whole demand does not shoot up.
NB: The initial equilibrium is at E( the point at which D(A) and P(A) meets and an increase causes it to meet at the point D(B) and P(B).
The law of diminishing marginal productivity states that:________.
a. As you expand output, your marginal productivity eventually increases
b. As you expand output, your marginal productivity eventually declines
c. As you expand output, the total product eventually increases
d. None of the above
2. What are economies of scale?
a. decreasing average costs as production increases
b. increasing average costs as production increases
c. increasing fixed costs as production increases
d. none of the above
3. What are economies of scope?
a. lower average costs when multiple different products are produced
b. higher average costs when multiple different products are produced
c. Constant average costs when multiple different products are produced
d. none of the above
Answer:
b. As you expand output, your marginal productivity eventually declines
a. decreasing average costs as production increases
a. lower average costs when multiple different products are produced
Explanation:
The law of diminishing marginal returns states that as more unit of variable factors of production are added to production, output would increase at first but after a period, it would increase at a negative rate.
Economies of scale is the reduction in cost thay accrue to firms as they increase production. For example, a supplier might give a firm a discount for buying in bulk.
Economies of scope states that average cost would fall as the production of similar products increases. For example, a fashion designer who makes women's clothings decides to make scarfs with the scraps of clothes left.

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or faise Statement 1. The government can raise revenue by taxing the sellers without creating deadweight loss when the demand for the goods being taxed is perfectly inelastic 2. A tax that raises no revenue for the government cannot have any deadweight loss.
Answer and Explanation:
The indication of the following statement regarding true or false is
For Statement 1
This given statement is true as the demand is perfectly inelastic so there is no deadweight loss because quantity does not change or not have any impact
Therefore, in this case, the government only raise revenue but at the same time when there is an increase in elasticity so there is a change in deadweight loss
For Statement 2
This given statement is false as if no revenue is there, there will be deadweight loss
Global Commerce Corporation purchased trading debt investments for $114,000 on December 31, 2018. There is a decrease of $5,800 in the fair value of the trading debt investments by the end of the year 2019. Which of the following is the correct journal entry?
A. Trading Debt Investments 5,800
Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
B. Fair Value
Adjustment–Trading 5,800
Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
C. Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5.800
Retained Earnings 5,800
D. Unrealized Holding
Loss-Trading 5,800
Fair Value
Adjustment–Trading 5,800
Answer:
The correct option is D,
Unrealized Holding Loss-Trading $5,800
Fair Value Adjustment–Trading $5,800
Explanation:
The decrease in fair value by $5,800 means that the investment has potentially lost $5,800 in value which is credited to fair value adjustment while the debit is posted to unrealized holding loss-trading account.
The loss cannot be realized in retained earnings since the loss is yet to be realized as the investment has not been sold for cash.
The realized loss or gain would be determined when investment is sold for cash.
In Appellia, it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons, and so on. The need for increasing resources is an example of:________.
a. comparative advantage.
b. diminishing returns to specialization.
c. absolute advantage.
d. mercantilism Porter's diamond model.
Answer:
b. diminishing returns to specialization.
Explanation:
Diminishing returns is also called diminishing productivity. It states that as additional unit of input is used in production it will get to a stage where more of input will be required to maintain output levels.
If the same level of input is used it will result in reduction in output over time.
This is exemplified in this secanrio where it takes 10 units of resources to increase its output of sugar from 12 tons to 13 tons, but 11 units of resources to increase output from 13 tons to 14 tons, and 12 units of resources to increase output from 14 tons and 15 tons.
It takes more input to increase output by 1 ton
Since the middle of the 20th century, the international global business system has been shaped by global institutions. Countries have established these institutions to address the global issues that span their borders. The functions of these organizations have been established in international treaties. International businesses need to be aware of the functions of these organizations as they can have a profound impact on trade and commerce.
It is critical for businesses to understand which organizations do what. It is also extremely useful to understand when these organizations were created since each emerged in response to changes, crises, or developments in the global business system.

Delta Corporation (a U.S. company) has several transactions with foreign entities. On December 2, 20X1, Delta bought items from foreign company at a price of 300,000 yen when the direct exchange rate was 1 yen = $1.17. Delta made payment to the foreign company on December 20, 20X1, when the exchange rate had changed to 1 yen = $1.21. The foreign exchange gain or loss reported by Delta from this transaction will be:
Answer:
$12,000 gain
Explanation:
From the above information given the yen has depreciated relative to the dollar amount between the date of the transaction and the date of payment.
The Amount of the gain will be:
Price = 300,000
Direct exchange rate( 1 yen )= $1.17
Change in exchange rate ( 1 yen)= $1.21
Hence:
($1.21x 300,000) – ($1.17x 300,000)
=$363,000-$351,000
=$12,000 gain
A company’s trial balance included the following account balances: Accounts Payable $ 19,207 Accounts Receivable 81,336 Cash 73,324 Income Tax Payable 3,512 Inventory 25,816 Note Payable, due in two years 1,709 Equipment 54,128 Stockholders’ Equity 202,808 Supplies 5,512 Wages Payable 12,880 What is the amount of the current ratio? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
5.22
Explanation:
The formula for calculating the current ratio is as follows:
Current ratio = Current assets / Current liabilities .......... (1)
From the question, we have:
Current assets = Accounts Receivable + Cash + Inventory + Supplies = $81,336 + $73,324 + $25,816 + $5,512 = $185,988.
Note: Equipment is not a current asset but a fixed asset.
Current liabilities = Accounts Payable + Income Tax Payable + Wages Payable = $19,207 + $3,512 + $12,880 = $35,599.
Note: Note Payable, due in two years is not a current liability but a long term liability since it is not payable within one year.
Substituting the values into equation (1) we have:
Current ratio = $185,988 / $35,599 = 5.22
The current ratio of 5.22 indicates that the company more than enough current assets, 5.22 times, to pay of its current liabilities.
Twinte Cars, a California corporation, has internal corporate requirements that stipulate a three-year payroll document retention period. It enters into a contract with an international company that mandates a six-year payroll document retention requirement. How should Twinte Cars balance these requirements
Answer:
-The period for retention could be up to 8 years depending upon the circumstances.
-The benefits and records may be called to evidence
Explanation:
In this scenario Twinte cars needs to balance internal requirement of 3 year payroll document retention period and the contract if 6 year payroll retention with the international company. Usually foreign companies have a higher retention requirement.
A way out of this predicament will be to get a new retention period of 8 years. This will satisfy requirements of the international company.
Also Twinte cars can provide benefits and records from their internal 3 year payroll retention to the international company
Consider the market for iced coffee. Suppose that the price of an iced coffee falls from $4.25 to $3.50. Assuming that the point on the graph below corresponds to the initial price of $4.25, move the point to a new position on the curve to show the impact of this price change (holding everything else constant).
Answer:
The fall in the price of iced coffee from $4.25 to $3.50 will cause demand to grow.
Explanation:
This is because the market demand curve for any good is downward sloping: the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded, and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.
So this fall in price will move the equilibrium quantity (the point where supply and demand meet) to move to a point on the demand curve that is below the previous point.
A promise to make a gift for a charitable or educational purpose is unenforceable unless and until the institution to which to promise was made incurs obligations by relying on the promise. This exception is usually justified on the basis of either _____ or _____.
Answer:
This exception is usually justified on the basis of either promissory estoppel or public policy.
Explanation:
There are many Judicial devices and one of them is the Estoppel. In common law, there are legal systems which allow a court to use this device to prevent a person (corporate or individual) from making pronouncements or from defecting on their promise.
With regard to public policy, courts in recent cases have reached conclusions that pledges are legally enforceable regardless of whether or not the recipient of the promise has incurred liabilities based on the pledge, and that, the only way to ensure compliance with requirements of the law, a test of public policy is to ensure the promise is made good.
This thought holds true in Ohio where for example, a pledge has the same weight as a promissory note.
According to precedence established in Pennsylvania, any written promise can be enforced regardless of whether or not the pledger intends to be legally bound.
Cheers!

A jeweler can potentially use two inputs in her handcrafted jewelry: copper or bronze. She finds that when she minimizes her costs, she either uses copper or bronze but not both. This means that copper and bronze are perfect substitutes and that her isoquant curve is right-angled.
Answer: straight lines that are parallel to each other
Explanation: Q: A jeweler can potentially use two inputs in her handcrafted jewelry: copper or bronze. She finds that when she minimizes her costs, she either uses copper or bronze but not both. What must her isoquants look like?
An isoquant curve is defined as a line of equal or constant economic production on a graph, chart or map which describes all the combinations of inputs that produce the same level of output. If the jeweler either uses copper or bronze but not both, it means that the copper and bronze are perfect substitutes, that is, they are two inputs that can be substituted for each other at a constant rate and at the same time maintaining the same output level. Her isoquants would appear as straight lines that are parallel to each other because all that matters is the sum of the two variables (copper and bronze), and not their individual values.

a) Gross Profit = Sales × Gross Profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 76%
= $31,160,000
b) Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross profit
= $41,000,000 - $31,160,000
= $9,840,000
c) Operating profits = Sales × Operating profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 39% = $15,990,000
d) Operating Expenses = Gross profit - Operating profit
= $31,160,000 - $15,990,000
= $15,170,000
e) Earnings available to common stockholders = Sales × Net profit margin
= $41,000,000 × 7%
= $2,870,000
f) Total assets = Sales ÷ Total asset turnover ratio
= $41,000,000 ÷ 1.9
= $21,581,947.37
g)Total common stock equity = Earnings available to common stockholders ÷ Return on common equity %
= $2,870,000 ÷ 24%
= $11,958,333.33
h) Accounts Receivable = (Sales ÷ 365 days) × Average collection period
= ($41,000,000 ÷ 365 days) × 64.3 days
= $7,222,739.73
Division A does not have excess capacity to produce Product XX. The division can sell Product XX for $10 per unit outside the company. Variable costs are $6 per unit. Division B wants to purchase Product XX from Division A to use in Product ZZ. The selling price of Product ZZ is $25 per unit and variable costs to finish the product after the transfer are $12 per unit. An outside supplier will sell Product XX for $12 per unit. What is the minimum transfer price for Division A
Answer:
Minimum transfer price = $10
Explanation:
The Division A is operating at full capacity, hence it has no excess capacity
This implies that it can not produce enough to meet both the internal demand (from Division B) and external buyers.
Hence, it implies that Division A can not accommodate the demands of the Division B at a price lower than the external price of $10. Any price lower than $10 would result into a loss in contribution.
To maximize and optimize the group profit
Minimum transfer price = External selling price at which Division A can sell product XX
Minimum transfer price = $10

Alfred is saving up money for a down payment on a townhouse. He currently has $5016$ 5016, but knows he can get a loan at a lower interest rate if he can put down $5994$ 5994. If he invests the $5016$ 5016 in an account that earns 4.4%4.4% annually, compounded monthly, how long will it take Alfred to accumulate the $5994$ 5994? Round your answer to two decimal places, if necessary.
Answer:
It will take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 annually 4.1367 and monthly 4.0557
Explanation:
In order to calculate how long will it take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 we would have to use the following formula:
A=P(1+r/n)∧n*t
P=$5,016
A=$5994
r=4.4%
n=1 annually
n=12 monthly
Therefore, t annually would be as follows:
5,994=$5,016(1+(4.4%/100)/1)∧1*t
t=4.1367
Therefore, t monthly would be as follows:
5,994=$5,016(1+(4.4%/100)/12)∧12*t
t=4.0557
It will take Alfred to accumulate the $5994 annually 4.1367 and monthly 4.0557
Suppose a relative has promised to give you $1,000 as a wedding gift the day you get engaged. Assuming a constant interest rate of 7%, consider the present and future values of this gift, depending on when you become engaged.
Complete the first row of the table by determining the value of the gift in one and two years if you become engaged today.
Present Value Value in One Year Value in Two Years
Date Received (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)
Today 1,000.00 ? ?
In 1 year ? 1,000.00
In 2 years ? 1,000.00
Complete the first column of the table by computing the present value of the gift if you get engaged in one year or two years.
The present value of the gift is __________ if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
Answer:
a.
Future Value in One Year = $1,070.00
Future Value in Two Years = $1,144.90
b.
Present Value of amount received in 1 year = $934.58
Present Value of amount received in 2 years = $873.44
The present value of the gift is less/lower if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
Explanation:
These can be done as follows:
Present Value Value in One Year Value in Two Years
Date Received (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars)
Today 1,000.00 1,070.00 1,144.90
In 1 year 934.58 1,000.00
In 2 years 873.44 1,000.00
a. Complete the first row of the table by determining the value of the gift in one and two years if you become engaged today.
To do this, we use future value (FV) formula as follows:
Future Value = A * (1 + r)^n ........................................ (1)
Where;
A = Amount received to day = $1,000.00
r = interest rate = 7%, or 0.07
n = number of years
Using equation (1), we therefore have:
Future Value in One Year = 1,000.00 * (1 + 0.07)^1 = $1,070.00
Future Value in Two Years = 1,000.00 * (1 + 0.07)^2 = $1,144.90
b. Complete the first column of the table by computing the present value of the gift if you get engaged in one year or two years.
To do this, we use present value (PV) formula as follows:
Present Value = A / (1 + r)^n ........................................ (2)
Where;
A = Amount received in specified year = $1,000.00
r = interest rate = 7%, or 0.07
n = number of years
Using equation (2), we therefore have:
Present Value of amount received in 1 year = 1,000.00 / (1 + 0.07)^1 = $934.58
Present Value of amount received in 2 years = 1,000.00 / (1 + 0.07)^2 = $873.44
Since $873.44 is less/lower than $934.58, we therefore have:
The present value of the gift is less/lower if you get engaged in two years than it is if you get engaged in one year.
The correct statement will be that the present value of the wedding gift is $873.43 if you get engaged in two years, then it is $934.57 if you get engaged in one year when the future value is $1000.
The future value of wedding gifts will be $1070.00 and $1144.9 at the end of first and second year respectively. The computation for the values can be done by applying values to the formula.
Calculation of future value and present valueThe present value of the gift can be calculated as using the formula below, [tex]\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{Future\ Value}{1+ Fixed\ Interest\ Rate}\\\\\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{\$1000}{1.07}\\\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \$ 934.57[/tex]The present value for one year is 934.57 USD. Now for two years, [tex]\rm Present\ Value= \dfrac{\$934.57}{1.07}\\\\\rm Present\ Value= \$873.43[/tex]Now to calculate the future value when the present value is considered to be as $1000. We will use the formula below, [tex]\rm Future\ Value\ for\ One\ Year=Present\ Value\ +\ \dfrac{Present\ Value\ x\ Time\ x\ Interest\ Rate}{100}\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value\ for\ One\ Year= 1000\ +\ \dfrac{1000\ \rm x\ 1\ \rm x\ 7}{100}\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value= \$1070[/tex]For the end of two years, the future value will be, [tex]\rm Future\ Value= Present\ Value\ (1+\dfrac{Interest}{no.\ of\ Compoundings})^n^t\\\\\\\rm Future\ Value= 1000\ (1+\dfrac{0.07}{1})^1^ x\ ^2\\\\\rm Future\ Value= \$1144.9[/tex]Hence, the value of the gifts can be ascertained as per the calculations above.

The annual fixed costs for a plant are $100,000, and the variable costs are $140,000 at 70% utilization of available capacity, with net sales of $280,000. What is the breakeven point in units of production if the selling price per unit is $40
Answer:
With the production 5000 units the plant will achieve it's break even point
Explanation:
Solution
The break even points is the point in a business when the total revenue is exactly the same to the equal expenditure.
The formula is given below:
D' = Cy/(p-cy)
Here
D' =the demand at break even point
p = the selling price
cy= the variable costs per unit
Cy = the total fixed cost
Thus
The total cost of the plant = $100,000
The variable costs = $140,000
The net sales = $280,000
The selling price per unit = $40
The total no units sold per year is given as :
Annual sale (units) = Total sales/Sale per unit
Now,
By the method of substitution we have the following.
Annual sale (units) = $280,000/40
=7000 units/year
The formula for variable cost per unit cy is
cy = Cy/Annual sale (units)
Now,
We substitute in the above equation the value of Cy as $140,000 and annual sale as 7000 units/per year
cy = $140,000/7000
=$20 units
For the demand at break even point D', we have the following:
D' = Cy/(p-cy)
We We substitute in the above equation the value of Cy as $100,000 and p as $40/unit and cy as $20 /unit
D' = 100000/(40 -20)
=5000 units/year

Big data analytics programs (analyzing massive data sets to make decisions) use gigantic computing power to quantify trends that would be beyond the grasp of human observers. As this use of this quantitative analysis increases, do you think it may decrease the "humanity of production" in organizations? Why?
Answer:
It will not decrease the humanity of production.
Explanation:
Big data analytics is useful for unraveling hidden patterns and correlations. Big data analytics is sometimes linked to be a direct descendant of Frederick Winslow Taylor’s scientific management and recently it is the most recent iteration of the quantitative approach to management.
Big data is used in management in activities that includes humans or individuals therefore it will not reduce the humanity of production in organizations.
