Note:
I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.
The Complete Question is as under:
Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?
A. $766
B. $29818
C. $3137
D. $3211
Answer:
Option D. $3,137
Explanation:
The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.
The amount saved last year would be:
Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137
Hence the option C is correct here.

Answer:
1. How the nation allocates resources
Explanation:
Government is the chief decision maker in any economic model because their power enables to allocate nation`s resources among economic unit. As such they keep watch on the economic changes and trends in order to make the best economic decision for the nation. When government becomes aware of economic changes, it will try to allocate resources efficiently and effectively based on signal given by the changes.
For example, if US government is aware that the economy is nearing recession, it will be put in preventive measures to escape the intending recession and make sure it allocates its scarce in efficient way among the economic units by spending more on capital projects, raising social empowerment spending and doing other necessary things.
So the discovery of economic changes will most likely influence how the nation allocates resources.
Answer: -0.5
Explanation:
Based on the information given, the price elasticity of demand will be calculated as follows:
= dQ/dP × P/Q
where,
dQ/dP = -1
P = 100
Q = 200 – P + 25 U – 50 P beer
Q = 200 - 100 + 25(8) - 50(2)
Q = 200 - 100 + 200 - 100
Q = 200
Therefore, dQ/dP × P/Q
= -1 × (100/200)
= -1 × 1/2
= -1 × 0.5
= -0.5
The price elasticity of demand is -0.5.
