1.Adam Smith, a writer in the 1770s, was the first person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England."One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all performed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform. two or three of them."Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a piece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainly could not turn out any pin, each of them have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in itself responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce, more of what they already have.According to the passage, Adam Smith was the first person to______.A.take advantage of the division of laborB.explain the causes of the division of laborC.understand the effects of the division of laborD.introduce the division of labor into England

  • 第13题:

    A manufacturing company, Man Co, has two divisions: Division L and Division M. Both divisions make a single standardised product. Division L makes component L, which is supplied to both Division M and external customers.

    Division M makes product M using one unit of component L and other materials. It then sells the completed

    product M to external customers. To date, Division M has always bought component L from Division L.

    The following information is available:

    Division L charges the same price for component L to both Division M and external customers. However, it does not incur the selling and distribution costs when transferring internally.

    Division M has just been approached by a new supplier who has offered to supply it with component L for $37 per unit. Prior to this offer, the cheapest price which Division M could have bought component L for from outside the group was $42 per unit.

    It is head office policy to let the divisions operate autonomously without interference at all.

    Required:

    (a) Calculate the incremental profit/(loss) per component for the group if Division M accepts the new supplier’s

    offer and recommend how many components Division L should sell to Division M if group profits are to be

    maximised. (3 marks)

    (b) Using the quantities calculated in (a) and the current transfer price, calculate the total annual profits of each division and the group as a whole. (6 marks)

    (c) Discuss the problems which will arise if the transfer price remains unchanged and advise the divisions on a suitable alternative transfer price for component L. (6 marks)

    D

    A Polarized World


    正确答案: A
    解析:
    该段录音首先讲述过去半个世纪世界上所取得的显著成果,接着对那些贫穷国家依然困难的情况进行了描述,因此选项A最能概括该段录音的内容。
    【录音原文】
      In the past half-century the world has made unprecedented economic gains. Countries that a mere generation ago were struggling with underdevelopment are now vibrant centers of global economic activity and domestic well-being. In just two decades, 15 countries, whose combined populations exceed 1.6 billion, have halved the proportion of their citizens living in extreme poverty. Asia has made an astounding recovery from the financial crisis of 1997—1998, demonstrating the staying power of its economies though Asia’s poor have not yet regained lost ground.
      Chief among the human development success stories since the 1960s are the increase in life expectancy in developing countries, from 46 to 64 years; the halving of infant mortality rates; an increase of more than 80 percent in the proportion of children enrolled in primary school: and the doubling of access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
      While more of us enjoy better standards of living than ever before, many others remain desperately poor. Nearly half the world’s population still has to make do on less than $2 per day. Approximately 1.2 billion people—500 million in South Asia and 300 million in Africa—struggle on less than $1. People living in Africa south of the Sahara are almost as poor today as they were 20 years ago. With that kind of deprivation comes pain, powerlessness, despair and lack of fundamental freedom all of which, in turn, perpetuate poverty. Of a total world labour force of some 3 billion, 140 million workers are out of work altogether, and a quarter to a third are underemployed.
