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

Assume that a local bank sells two services, checking accounts and atm card services. the bank’s only two customers are mr. donethat and ms. beenthere. mr. donethat is willing to pay $8 a month for the bank to service his checking account and $2 a month for unlimited use of his atm card. ms. beenthere is willing to pay only $5 for a checking account, but is willing to pay $9 for unlimited use of her atm card. assume that the bank can provide each of these services at zero marginal cost.refer to scenario 17-5. if the bank is unable to use tying, what is the profit-maximizing price to charge for a checking account
