You have to cook dinner for 30 people on saturday. your apartment is a mess and you have nothing to wear. you decide to do your laundry thursday night, buy the groceries on friday, clean the apartment saturday morning, and cook the dinner saturday evening. preparing for the dinner party in this way is an example of . subgoalingb. using algorithmsc. using heuristicsd. prototype

a) subgoaling.

Explanation:

You have to cook dinner for 30 people on saturday, this is the big goal.  However, you start doing different little projects since thursday that will help you reach your goal of preparing the dinner party (getting groceries, cleaning the apartment, do laundry, etc). Since you are "breaking" the goal into smaller actions to be achieved, this is an example of subgoaling.

*It is not using algorithms since an algorithm is the use of an strategy that guarantees to solve the problem.

*Using heuristics would be using a practical method that does not necessarily guarantees to reach the goal.

*Finally, prototype would be to try different approaches to see which one turns out best to finally use that one in order to achieve a goal.

marginal cost is a microeconomic measure that us to evaluate the extent to which the level of production of a good is sustainable in accounting, that is, to how many quantities the company plans to profit from the production of the good.

the concept of marginal cost is simple, it means the cost of producing one more item. for example, in the case of pies, the marginal cost is the cost of producing one more pie than those that have already been produced.

it is important to understand that productive activity influences marginal cost. the marginal cost of some goods can be very high, while others may be insignificant. for example, the marginal cost of producing an extra plane is very high. already the marginal cost of a water company to provide 1l more water is derisory.

in the case of pies, the cost involves the inputs, the labor and the fixed cost, which involves the fixed space of the bakery. the level of production initially has the marginal cost decreasing because there is space and manpower available. however, to produce more you have to hire more workers and buy more inputs. if physical space is limited, workers will conflict with places, inputs and their productivity will decrease, meaning there is an optimum point of production for each level of space and manpower. from this point on, the productivity of the workers will be getting smaller because of lack of space, so that the marginal cost of producing one more pie will be increasing. so, although you have not posted the chart, but if you have the answer, you can see that my explanation goes according to the marginal cost curve that will increase from the 4th pie, answer (c).
