Paul, the Director of Recruitment at an insurance company, finds that the company has a disparate impact on the proportion of Hispanic employees compared to the proportion of Hispanics in the labor market. Which of the following steps should Paul take to solve the problem most efficiently?
a) He should lower the job specifications for Hispanic applicants.
b) He should continue using the current recruiting practices because only organizations with affirmative action plans are required to meet EEO guidelines.
c) He should start advertising for job openings on the local Spanish radio station.
d) He should freeze the hiring process until qualified Hispanics apply for vacant positions
Answer: c) He should start advertising for job openings on the local Spanish radio station.
Explanation:
This realization by Paul should make him want to hire more Hispanics into the company and the best way to do so would be to advertise it in such a way that Hispanics have a better chance of hearing about job openings.
Advertising on Spanish radio would ensure that Hispanics hear the advertisements because they are the main ethnicity that speaks Spanish. This will give them an edge in learning about job openings and enable Paul to hire more Hispanics.
You invested $5,000 in the stock market one year ago. Today, the investment is valued at $5,500. What return did you earn? What return would you suffer next year for your investment to be valued at the original $5,000?A. 10%, -9.09%, respectivelyB. -10%, +9.09%, respectivelyC. 110%, -10%, respectivelyD. 110%, -9.09%, respectively
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Rate of return in one period = (value in year 1 / initial value) - 1
(5500 / 5000) - 1 = 0.1 = 10%
(5000 / 5500) - 1 = -9.09%
Suppose you invest equal amounts in a risky asset with an expected return of 16% and a standard deviation of returns of 18% and a risk-free asset with an interest rate of 4%. Calculate the standard deviation of the returns on the resulting portfolio.
Answer:
The answer is "[tex]10\%[/tex]".
Explanation:
You are equivalent investors in 16 percent of a portfolio and 4 percent of a risk-free asset. A weighted mean of these two will become the predicted return.
[tex]= \text{(Portfolio weight} \times \text{Return portfolio)} + \text{(Portfolio weight}\times \text{risk-free)}\\\\[/tex]
[tex]= (0.5 \times 16\%) + (0.5 \times 4\%)\\\\= (0.5 \times \frac{16}{100}) + (0.5 \times \frac{4}{100})\\\\= \frac{8}{100} + \frac{2}{100}\\\\= \frac{8+2}{100}\\\\= \frac{10}{100}\\\\= \frac{1}{10}\\\\= \frac{1}{10} \times 100\\\\=10\%[/tex]
1. A time study analyst timed an assembly operation for 30 cycles, and then computed the average time per cycle, which was 18.75 minutes. The analyst assigned a performance rating of .96, and decided that an appropriate allowance was 15%. Assume the allowance factor is based on the workday. Determine the following: observed time (OT), the normal time (NT), and the standard time (ST)
Answer:
1. observed time = 18.75 minutes.
2. Normal time = 18 minutes
3. Standard time = 21.17 minutes
Explanation:
1. The observed time will be equal to the average time per cycle, which was given in the question as 18.75 min. Therefore, observed time = 18.75 minutes.
2. The normal time will be:
= Average Time x Performance Rating
= 18.75 x 0.96
= 18 minutes
3. The standard time will be:
= Normal time × 1/(1 - 15%)
= Normal time × 1/(1 - 0.15)
= 18 × 1/0.85
= 18 × 1.176
= 21.17 minutes
Tracey Sales Co. has predicted the following costs for this year for 500,000 units: Manufacturing Selling and Administrative Variable $ 800,000 $250,000 Fixed 1,200,000 300,000 Total $2,000,000 $550,000 What is the markup on variable manufacturing costs needed to break even
Answer: 218.75%
Explanation:
In order to breakeven, the variable manufacturing cost would have to be the same as the fixed costs in addition to the administrative costs.
= Fixed costs + Administrative cost
= 1,200,000 + 550,000
= $1,750,000
Variable cost needs to be $1,750,000
It is currently at $800,000 so it needs to increase by:
= 1,750,000 / 800,000 * 100%
= 218.75%

Which of the following statements is incorrect? Employment insurance compensation encourages longer job searches, which may lead to a better match between jobs and employees. Employment insurance compensation increases the opportunity cost of being unemployed. The typical employment insurance compensation is roughly one third of one's latest salary for up to 26 weeks. Demand and supply curves for labor are constantly shifting.
Answer:
Employment insurance compensation increases the opportunity cost of being
unemployed.
Explanation:
The Employment insurance program is the benefit that is provided temporarily to the people who do not have jobs or had lost their jobs of no fault of their own. This program helps the unemployed with financial help temporarily so that they can survive and search for another jobs.
The compensations provided from the employment insurance encourages the people for a longer job search and better match between the employees and the jobs. This financial aid is provided for up to a maximum of 26 months and for 1/3rd of one's latest salary. The demand and supply curve for te labor is shifting constantly.
Thus the incorrect statement is :
Employment insurance compensation increases the opportunity cost of being
unemployed.
Here are data on two companies. The T-bill rate is 4% and the market risk premium is 6%.What would be the fair return for $1 Discount Store according to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM)
Answer:
13%
Explanation:
Please find attached a table containing further information needed to answer this question
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x market premium
Beta measures systemic risk
The higher beta is, the higher the systemic risk and the higher the compensation demanded for by investors
4% + (1.5 x 6%) = 13%
rt, a $0.73 per share cash dividend was declared by the board of directors for it common stock. On 12/31, the date of declaration, there were 98,000 shares authorized, 59,000 shares issued, and 8,000 Treasury shares. On the date of the dividend declaration, what amount will Walmart record into their dividend account
Answer:
$36,792
Explanation:
Missing word "At Walmart, the board of directors declared a $0.73"
Outstanding stockholder = Issued stockholder - Treasury stock
Outstanding stockholder = 59,000 shares - 8,600 shares
Outstanding stockholder = 50,400 shares
Amount of Dividend = Declared per share cash dividend * Outstanding stockholder
Amount of Dividend = 50,400 shares * $0.73
Amount of Dividend = $36,792
So therefore, on the date of the dividend declaration, $36,792 shall be recorded by Walmart into their dividend account.
In most situations, asset values do not equal the amount of money that could be realized if the assets were sold.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
True
Explanation:
The answer to this question is true. The recording of assets is usually done at cost. This is equivalent to the value that was exchanged when the asset was sold. In a country like the United States for example, if an asset such as a land or machine gets to appreciate in value after a period of time, it is not usually revalued. Therefore the answer to this question is true.
Select a commercial or Public Service Announcement (PSA) that uses an emotional appeal/Pathos.
Identify the organization along with the topic/issue presented in the PSA or commercial.
Using the information in this section, how would you characterize the way it persuades listeners with emotion?
Is it effective in persuading you as a listener? Why or why not?
Include a Reference page citing the source in APA format.
Write your response in a letter form.
Answer:
An announcement that applies an emotional appeal attempts to urge an emotional reaction from the general public so on suits the message contained within the announcement.
Select a commercial or public service announcement that uses an emotional appeal.
A public service announcement that shows the aftermath of environmental pollution
Using the information in this section, how would you characterize the way it persuades listeners with emotion?
When the general public feels guilty about not having the ability to try to do something about environmental degradation, there'll be a change from the utilization of inorganic to the use of organic materials. When companies that pollute the environment are charged or closed down, and when the people resort to planting more trees.
Is it effective in persuading you as a listener?
Yes.
Why or why not?
It is very effective in persuading because the listeners put themselves in the situation and feel the effect of not taking care of the environment.
Discuss your findings with your classmates.
When people feel guilty for not taking care of the environment, they're going to take social action aimed toward correcting things. The people imagine how the planet is going to be like 50 years from now and picture how their children and grandchildren will survive. they're therefore compelled to try to do something so on contribute to environmental protection and to support the ecology.

Assume a market for a normal good is currently in equilibrium. If the government increases the taxes that firms must pay, then:
Answer:
The supply will decrease.
Explanation:
The supply will decrease because the application of taxes will make selling costly. Thus, when cost increases then producers supply less. Therefore, less quantity will be supplied in the market when tax is imposed and this will increase the prices of products.
MSI has been approached by a fourth-grade teacher from Portland about the possibility of creating a specially designed game that would be customized for her classroom and environment. The teacher would like an educational game to correspond to her classroom coverage of the history of the Pacific Northwest, and the state of Oregon in particular. MSI has not sold its products directly to teachers or school systems in the past, but its Marketing Department identified that possibility during a recent meeting.
The teacher has offered to buy 1,000 copies of the CD at a price of $5 each. MSI could easily modify one of its existing educational programs about U.S. history to accommodate the request. The modifications would cost approximately $500. A summary of the information related to production of MSI’s current history program follows:
Direct materials $ 1.50
Direct labor 0.60
Variable manufacturing overhead 2.25
Fixed manufacturing overhead 2.00
Total cost per unit $ 6.35
Sales price per unit $ 12.00
Required:
1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.
2. Should MSI accept the special order?
Yes
No
3. Suppose that the special order had been to purchase 1,000 copies of the program for $4.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario.
4. Suppose that MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program. Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
1. The incremental profit from accepting the special order is $150.
2. Yes, MSI should accept the special order. This is because it will increase profit by $150.
3. The incremental loss from accepting the special order is $350.
4. The special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order is $12.50 per unit.
Explanation:
Note that only variable costs are relevant to making decision on a special order. That is, fixed cost is not relevant. Therefore, we have:
Total variable cost per unit = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable manufacturing overhead = $1.50 + $0.60 + $2.25 = $4.35.
We then proceed as follows:
1. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order.
Incremental profit (or loss) = ((Special order price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order) - Modification cost = (($5 - $4.35) * 1,000) - $500 = $150
Therefore, the incremental profit from accepting the special order is $150.
2. Should MSI accept the special order?
Yes, MSI should accept the special order. This is because it will increase profit by $150.
3. Suppose that the special order had been to purchase 1,000 copies of the program for $4.50 each. Compute the incremental profit (or loss) from accepting the special order under this scenario.
Incremental profit (or loss) = ((Special order price per unit - Total variable cost per unit) * Units of special order) - Modification cost = (($4.50 - $4.35) * 1,000) - $500 = ($350), or –$350
Therefore, the incremental loss from accepting the special order is $350.
4. Suppose that MSI is operating at full capacity. To accept the special order, it would have to reduce production of the history program. Compute the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
This can be calculated as follows:
Modification cost per unit = Modification cost / Units of special order = $500 / 1,000 = $0.50
Special order price = Regular price + Modification cost per unit = $12 + $0.50 = $12.50 per unit
Therefore, the special order price at which MSI would be indifferent between accepting or rejecting the special order is $12.50 per unit.

Calculate the weighted-average unit cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)
Weighted-average unit cost $____
Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
FIFO LIFO Average Cost
$____ $____ $_______
Answer:
a. Weighted-average unit cost = $9.092
b. We have:
Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = $290
Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = $232
Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = $264
Explanation:
a. Calculate the weighted-average unit cost. (Round answer to 3 decimal places, e.g. 5.125.)
Weighted-average unit cost = Total Cost of units of inventory available for sale / Total units of units of inventory available for sale = $891 / 98 = $9.092
b. Calculate the ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO, LIFO and average-cost methods. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)
Ending inventory in units = Total units of units of inventory available for sale – Units sold = 98 - 69 = 29
Therefore, we have:
Ending inventory at May 31 using the FIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of purchases on May 24 = 29 * $10 = $290
Ending inventory at May 31 using the LIFO method = Ending inventory in units * Unit cost of inventory on May 1 = 29 * $8 = $232
Ending inventory at May 31 using the average-cost method = Ending inventory in units * Weighted-average unit cost = 29 * $9.092 = $264
An overall management objective is to:
a. minimize the number of sales transactions
b. minimize the total amount of accounts receivable
c. minimize the time from the beginning of the selling process to the end of cash collections
d. maximize the amount of float
Answer:
c. minimize the time from the beginning of the selling process to the end of cash collections
Explanation:
Management does not aim to minimize sales transactions or total amount of accounts receivable. Neither does it aim, to hold excess cash through cash float. Management aims to minimize the time from the beginning of the selling process to the end of cash collections so as to be liquid and avoid bad debts.
Depreciation, in accounting, is a process that results in: Multiple Choice an accurate measurement of the economic usefulness of an asset. depreciable assets being reported in the balance sheet at their fair value. accumulating cash for the replacement of the asset.
Answer:
spreading the cost of an asset over its useful life to the entity.
Explanation:
The depreciation is a non-cash expense that should be charged over the fixed assets i.e. land, buidling, car, etc
It is an expense so the same should be shown on the debit side of the income statement
Also the cost of an asset minus the salvage value divided by the useful life could be spreaded as the depredciation expense by using straight-line method

Marlow Company purchased a point of sale system on January 1 for $6,500. This system has a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $950. What would be the depreciation expense for the second year of its useful life using the double-declining-balance method
Answer:
$1,560
Explanation:
The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year of its useful life is shown below:
First depreciation rate is
= 1 ÷ 5 ×2
= 40%
Now the depreciation expense for one year is
= 40% of $6,500
= $2,600
Now the depreciation expense for the second year is
= ($6,500 - $2,600) ×40%
= $1,560

With so many workers habituated to using mobile devices for so much of their work, should company management develop apps for influencing subordinates? Explain your reasoning.
Answer:
This is not a yes or no answer.
The action of leadership/management would depend on their assessment of the impact of the habit on the results being delivered by the workers.
The questions to ask are:
Does the use of the mobile phone for their work reduce or increase productivity?Does what are the advantages? are there disadvantages?What would developing an app achieve for management?Explanation:
In trying to influence workers who are already habituated or accustomed to a particular way of doing things, it is best practice to study the culture and establish what its advantages are. This can then be compared to its demerits. If the demerits clearly and consistently present risks that make of no relevance the advantages, the leader(s) must move to correct such a risk.
So assuming that using mobile phones makes ICT risks (such as loss of company data, loss of company data, risk of unauthorised access etc) even more pronounced, whether or not the app is the best solution will depend on the total cost of that solution to the company weighed against other options.
Other options could simply be
- looking for an already existing app
- banning the using of mobile phone for office work using etc
- re-establishing the use of laptops as the preferred work tool
In any of the above scenarios, the leadership will succeed in influencing its workers positively if it:
plays its part well as a cultural shift role modelbecomes an arbiter of the policies modifying changes affecting work styleencourages the new workstyle by rewarding those that embrace it openly manage change by ensuring that there is a training platform that helps ease the transition into the new work style.Cheers

Explanation:
The quantity demanded of cereal increased from 1,350 to 1,700 when the price of milk decreased from $2.05 to $1.65. What is the estimated cross-price elasticity of demand for cereal
Answer:
-1.33
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.
If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are -substitute goods.
Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.
If the cross-price elasticity is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.
Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together
Cross Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good A / percentage change in price of good B
percentage change in quantity demanded of good = (1700/ 1350) - 1 = 0.259
percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.195
0.259 / -0.195 = -1.33
BK Books is an online book retailer that also has 10,000 "bricks and mortar" outlets worldwide. You are a risk-neutral manager within the CorporateFinance Division and are in dire need of a new financial analyst. You onlyinterview students from the top MBAprograms in your area. Thanks to yourscreening mechanisms and contacts, the students you interview ultimately dif-fer only with respect to the wage that they are willing to accept. About 5 per-cent of acceptable candidates are willing to accept a salary of $60,000, while95 percent demand a salary of $110,000. There are two phases to the inter-view process that every interviewee must go through. Phase 1 is the initialone-hour on-campus interview. All candidates interviewed in Phase 1 are alsoinvited to Phase 2 of the interview, which consists of a five-hour office visit.In all, you spend six hours interviewing each candidate and value this time at$750. In addition, it costs a total of $4,250 in travel expenses to interview each candidate. you are very impressed with the first interviewee completing both phases of bk books’s interviewing process, and she has indicated that her reservation salary is $110,000. should you make her an offer at that salary or continue the interviewing process? explain.
Answer: Therefore, we should make her an offer at that salary
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question,
Lowest salary = $60,000
Highest salary = $110,000
Expected Benefit = 5% × ($110,000 - $60,000) = 5% × $50,000 = $2500
The cost of conducting another interview will be:
= cost of time + cost of travel
= $750 + $4250
= $5000
