Answer:

While it was true that the cotton gin reduced the labor of removing seeds, it did not reduce the need for slaves to grow and pick the cotton. In fact, the opposite occurred. Cotton growing became so profitable for the planters that it greatly increased their demand for both land and slave labor.

Suppose you are the manager of a local water company, and you are instructed to get consumers to reduce their water consumption

Veronika [31]

The price of the water needs to be raised by 40% when the consumption of water reduces by 10% and the price elasticity of demand results to 25%.

<h3>What is meant by the price of elasticity of demand?</h3>

The price elasticity of demand is determined as the proportionate variation in quantity with respect to variation in the price of a good.

Given values:

Change in water consumption (fall): 10%

Price elasticity of demand: 25%

Computation of percentage change in the price of water:

$\rm\ Change \rm\ in \rm\ price \rm\ of \rm\ water=\frac{\rm\ Change \rm\ in \rm\ water \rm\ consumption}{\rm\ Price \rm\ elasticity \rm\ of \rm\ demand} \\\rm\ Change \rm\ in \rm\ price \rm\ of \rm\ water=\frac{10\%}{25\%} \\\rm\ Change \rm\ in \rm\ price \rm\ of \rm\ water=40\%$

Therefore, there is an increase in water price by 40%.

A consumer products company wants more creativity in its research and development operations. The company has spent large amount

Ugo [173]

Answer:

• Diversify the workplace

• Use creativity- and mind-stimulating games

• Use (a) flexible workplace(s)

Explanation:

1. Diversify the workplace

Employees consisting of different types of people, in terms of age, social status, race, gender and ethnicity, can help boost creativity in the workplace. Different backgrounds and experiences from the members will allow for different ideas to flow among the team. Differences will also make the team appreciate each other and make the entire team versatile.

2. Use creativity- and mind-stimulating games

Games that are open ended and not structured can help boost creativity. Each participant will have a different response which will allow more development and inventive ideas. Research can be done through guessing games that stimulate the mind or artistic games such as acting scenes, etc.

3. Use (a) flexible workplace(s)

Office space with air-conditioners and four walls may restrict the amount of creativity and result in the same, dull, exhausted ideas over time. To increase the level of creativity, the team should use different workplaces randomly for a change of scenery. One day spent at a park, the next day could be spent in a laboratory and the next could be spent in a library. Different environments can spark new, fresh ideas that can assist with research and development.
