Andrew is the manager of a factory. Workers at the factory are assigned to one of two tasks, one of which requires skilled labor and one of which requires unskilled labor. Because skilled workers earn a higher wage than unskilled workers, everyone who applies for a job says they're skilled.

Andrew's challenge is to figure out who is actually a skilled worker and who is an unskilled worker.

Suppose that Andrew would like to use the economic concept of screening to separate out worker types.
Which of the following scenarios illustrates this concept?

A. Skilled workers pay to take a certification course to demonstrate their ability.
B. Andrew implements a test to determine whether applicants are skilled or not.
C. Andrew voluntarily pays all workers a higher wage in hopes of attracting and retaining more productive workers.

Suppose, instead, the manager considers paying efficiency wages to increase the factory's profitability.

True or False: Efficiency wages are higher-than-average wages that are intended to reduce the chances that workers engage in non-productive
behavior that might jeopardize their high-paying job.

A3-mm-thick panel of aluminum alloy (k 177 w/m-k, c 875 j/kg-k and ? = 2770 kg/m) is finished on both sides with an epoxy coating that must be cured at or above t,-150°c for at least 5 min. the production line for the curing operation involves two steps: (1) heating in a large oven with air at ts,0-175°c and a convection coefficient of h, 40 w/m2. k, and (2) cooling in a large chamber with air at 25°c and a con- vection coefficient of he 10 w/m2.k. the heating portion of the process is conducted over a time interval te which exceeds the ime required to reach 150°c by 5 min (h = r + 300 s). the coating has an emissivity of ? = 0.8, and the temperatures of the oven and chamber walls are 175 and 25°c, respectively. if the panel is placed in the oven at an initial temperature of 25°c and removed from the chamber at a safe-to-touch tempera ture of 37°c, what is the total elapsed time for the two-step curing operation?
