Key to 2.5.4

a. Answer C

12-процентное увеличение заработной платы при 40-часовой рабочей неделе даст увеличение на $400 ´ 12 : 100 = $48. Поэтому рабочий, который выберет 40-часовую рабочую неделю, будет зарабатывать $400 + $48 = $448. Таким образом, если рабочий выберет 38-часовую рабочую неделю и зарплату в $410, он теряет $38.

b. Answer C

Цена альтернативного использования в данном случае – это цена упущенной возможности. Оставив свой собственный автомобиль, женщина теряет возможность получить за него $5900.

Verbs indicate a point in time or period of time in the past, present or future. Verbs must agree in number and person with the subject. The verb may consist of a single word or a main verb with one or more auxiliary words.

Today Mr. Grant's secretary, Elizabeth Corby, (to get) a telephone call from a man called George Duncan. He (to have) an introduction to Harper & Grant from a mutual acquaintance, Jock Macpherson. Mr. Duncan is only staying in London for a few days and he (to telephone) to fix an appointment to see Mr. Grant. Elizabeth (to tell) him that Mr. Grant is very busy and (to suggest) a later date. But Mr. Duncan, who is rather short-tempered, (to expect) that he can have an appointment whenever he (to want) one. He also (to ask) if he can see over the factory itself to see how some of the office furniture is made. Elizabeth (to have) a good secretary's sixth sense that this might be a valuable customer, so she finally (to fix) an appointment for him at half past three this afternoon. When Mr. Grant (to come) into the office she tells him about the appointment. As Mr. Grant (to be) so busy, she (to suggest) that she herself should show Mr. Duncan round the factory. Mr. Grant reluctantly (to agree) to see him. He also (to remember) that the mutual acquaintance, Jock Macpherson, is a great talker who in the past has wasted a lot of time and then bought very little. He (to think) that perhaps his friend, Mr. Duncan, will be the same, so he (to warn) Elizabeth to interrupt the interview after a short time with the excuse that there is someone else waiting to see him.
