Limit for On-Campus Job Hours
This week, the university announced a new policy that will reduce the maximum number of hours that students are allowed to work at on-campus jobs. Previously, students were allowed to work 20 hours a week, but the new policy limits students to working 10 hours per week. Limiting students to working fewer hours at their jobs will allow them more time to focus on their schoolwork, which is the point of being at the university,” said the dean of students. She also said that because each student will be limited to working fewer hours, there will be on-campus jobs available for more students.

Perceived-value Pricing
Sometimes the price that a company charges for a product is not determined by the cost of making and selling the product. Companies may decide to put a higher price on a product and find ways to suggest that the product is worth more than its manufacturing and selling costs. This strategy is called perceived-value pricing. A company that uses perceived-value pricing may put a lot of effort into building an image of desirability for their product by advertising. Through successful advertising, the product is perceived as having a higher value and consumers become willing to pay the higher price, thus resulting in bigger profits for the company.
