Suppose a 65-year-old person wants to purchase an annuity from an insurance company that would pay $20,700 per year until the end of that person’s life. the insurance company expects this person to live for 15 more years and would be willing to pay 7 percent on the annuity. how much should the insurance company ask this person to pay for the annuity? b. a second 65-year-old person wants the same $20,700 annuity, but this person is healthier and is expected to live for 20 more years. if the same 7 percent interest rate applies, how much should this healthier person be charged for the annuity?

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity. why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity
