The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The value of interactive leadership in the public sector can be seen in the efficiency and effectiveness of the work done by the cabinet of the executive branch. Many different departments and public offices are managed using interactive leadership, informing employers of what needs to be done and the reason why.
Interactive leadership has the capacity to empower employers because it maintains open lines of communication, informing about key activities that need to be done, clarifying goals, establishing strategies, and facilitating the tools to perform and be effective.
The public sector is comprised of what is known as the bureaucracy, and in order to coordinate and lead this public sector, leaders have to properly interact with employers. These employers can openly and honestly express their concerns and opinions to the leader, who takes into consideration this input. The great advantage of using interacting leadership is that people know what is expected of them.

As we’re well aware, vending machines are used to sell snacks and beverages, whereas newspapers are sold out of a box that allows anyone to take more than one paper. How does the concept of diminishing marginal utility explain the different distribution techniques for newspapers vs. snacks and beverages? Identify two additional examples of an item whose diminishing marginal utility is high. Remember: Marginal utility is the change in total utility that results from a one-unit increase in the quantity of a good consumed; diminishing marginal utility is the general tendency for marginal utility to decrease as the quantity of a good consumed increases.
Answer:
Because people do not need a second newspaper, it will not bring any more information to their lives, rather than a second soda can or snack.
Explanation:
The law of diminishing marginal utility states that there are some products or services to which an increase in the consumption will not bring the same utility for the user as the right amount, for example, if you eat a slice of pizza, it will bring certain benefit, you'll be less hungry but if you eat 7 slices of pizza at some point you'll no longer be hungry and it will rather make you sick, in this case vending machines have a higher marginal utility, a person could drink 3 or 4 drinks or take 4 or 5 snacks before it makes them feel sick, whilst a person that buys a person buying a newspaper won't need a second one, even if it is for his/her family, a 5 people house has enough newspaper by taking 1 copy of it.
Other examples of this can be a vacuum cleaner, you don't need a second one if you already have one, or a house buying a second house ain't as necessary as the first one.

TaskMaster Enterprises employs a standard cost system in which direct materials inventory is carried at standard cost. TaskMaster has established the following standards for the prime costs of one unit of product. Standard Standard Standard Quantity Price Cost Direct Materials 8 pounds $ 1.80 per pound $ 14.40 Direct Labor 0.25 hour $ 8.00 per hour 2.00 $ 16.40 During November, TaskMaster purchased 160,000 pounds of direct materials at a total cost of $304,000. The total factory wages for November were $42,000, 90% of which were for direct labor. TaskMaster manufactured 19,000 units of product during November using 142,500 pounds of direct materials and 5,000 direct labor hours. What is the direct labor rate variance for November
Answer:
The direct labor rate variance for November is $34,200
Explanation:
To find out the direct labor rate variance, we have to multiply the actual standard rate of direct labor into actual hours of direct labor used
Standard hourly rate of direct labor hour = $14.40
Actual direct labor hours = 5,000
Standard direct labor cost
= 5,000 × $14.40
= $72,000
Total factory wages are $42,000 in which direct labor is 90%
= $42,000 × 90%
= $37,800
Actual direct labor cost = $37,800
Therefore,
Direct labor rate variance = Standard direct labor cost - Actual direct labor cost
Direct labor rate variance
= $72,000 - $37,800
= $34,200
Assuming you have to pay $6.00 to play the game, explain what happens in the long run. (Is it a good idea to play the game
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Explanation:
We create a probability distribution for the play and winning :
Possible winning, X = 0, 7, 20
Probability of winning :
Sum of 2 die rolls ; sample space = 6² = 36
P(winning 0) = (sum ≠ 2,3,5 or 6)/ sample space = 24 / 36 = 2/3
P(winning 20) = (sum = (2 or 3) / Sample space) = 9 / 36 = 1/4
P(winning 7) = (sum = (5or6) / sample space) = 3 / 36 = 1/12
Distribution table :
X _____ 0 _______ 7 _____ 20
P(x) ___ 2/3 _____ 1/4 ____ 1/12
Expected value of the game ; E(X) ;
E(X) = Σx*p(x)
E(X) = (0*2/3) + (7*1/4) + (20*1/12)
E(X) = 0 + 1.75 + 1.6667
E(X) = 3.417
E(X) = 3.42
This means the mean winning after a long play is expected to be $3.42
To know if the game should be paku in the long run : we calculate the payoff
Expected Value - cost of paly
Cost of play = $6
Payoff = 3.42 - 6 = - 2.58
Since, payoff is negative, the game should not be played.

actor Co. can produce a unit of product for the following costs: Direct material $ 8.60 Direct labor 24.60 Overhead 43.00 Total product cost per unit $ 76.20 An outside supplier offers to provide Factor with all the units it needs at $48.40 per unit. If Factor buys from the supplier, the company will still incur 60% of its overhead. Factor should choose to:
Answer:
Relevant cost to make = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable overhead
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $43.00 (1-60%)
Relevant cost to make = $8.60 + $24.60 + $17.20
Relevant cost to make = $50.40
Outside supplier cost ($48.40) < Relevant cost to make ($50.40). So, Factor should choose to buy because the relevent cost is less than outside supplier cost.

A firm that purchases electricity from the local utility for $300,000 per year is considering installing a steam generator at a cost of $260,000. The cost of operating this generator would be $210,000 per year, and the generator will last for five years. If the firm buys the generator, it does not need to purchase any electricity from the local utility. The cost of capital is 11%. For the local utility option, consider five years of electricity purchases. For the generator option, assume immediate installation, with purchase and operating costs in the current year and operating costs continuing for the next four years. Assume payments under both options at the start of each year (i.e., immediate, one year from now,..., four years from now). What is the net present value of the more attractive choice?
Answer:
The net present value of the more attractive choice is:
= $1,108,800 (paying for local utility)
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Project period = 5 years
Cost of capital = 11%
Local Utility Steam Generator
Operating cost per year $300,000 $210,000
Cost of steam generator $260,000
PV (annuity factor
at 11% for 5 years) 3.696
PV (annuity factor
at 11% for 4 years) 3.102
Present value $1,108,800 ($300,000 * 3.696)
Present value of steam generator/
operating cost for the 1st year $470,000
Present value of operating cost for 4 years 651,420 ($210,000 * 3.102)
Net present value $1,108,800 $1,121,420
Paying for the local utility is more attractive with a net present value savings of $12,620 ($1,121,420 - $1,108,800)
Which strategies is suggested to help build strong interpersonal business relationships?
Answer and Explanation:
Gain trust: Business relationship is sealed with trust. If you are able to make a business partner trust you, you are sure to keep doing business with them. Do not try to take advantage of them and be sure they ate not thinking in that direction.

What is the expected constant growth rate of dividends for a stock currently priced at Php 50, that is expected to pay a dividend of Php 5 next year, and has a required return of 20%?
Answer: 10%
Explanation:
Using the Gordon Growth Model, the price of a stock can be calculated as follows:
Price = Next dividend / (Required return - growth rate)
Notice that we are provided with all the figures in the formula above except the growth rate so we can calculate the growth rate with these figures:
50 = 5 / (20% - growth rate)
50 * (20% - growth rate) = 5
20% - growth rate = 5 / 50
-growth rate = 10% - 20%
-Growth rate / -1 = -10% / -1
Growth rate = 10%
Supplies are assets until they are used. When they are used up, their costs are reported as expenses. The costs of unused supplies are recorded in a Supplies asset account. Supplies are often grouped by purpose—for example, office supplies and store supplies. Office supplies include paper, toner, and pens. Store supplies include packaging and cleaning materials.
Question Completion:
Describe the accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses.
Answer:
Supplies Expenses are debited while the Supplies account is credited with the supplies expenses.
Explanation:
This accounting treatment of Supplies Expenses reduces the balance of the Supplies account by the amount of supplies used during the period. Thus, what is left in the Supplies account is the cost of the unused supplies at the end of the accounting period. The treatment also accords with the accrual concept, which requires that expenses are matched to the revenues that they generate in the period.

KJ Pharma issues new bonds to fund an acquisition. The face value of the bond is $100 and annual coupon is 6.5%. Further, this bond matures in 20 years and is issued at a price of $105. Assuming KJ Pharma's tax rate is 30%, what is its After-Tax Cost of Debt
Answer:
4.24%
Explanation:
The computation of the after tax cost of debt is given below:
But before that we have to determine the before tax of debt by using RATE formula
Given that
Future value be $100
Present value be $105
PMT is $100 × 6.5% = $6.5
NPER is 20
The formula is
=RATE(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,TYPE)
After applying the above formula, the before tax cost of debt is 6.06%
Now the after tax cost of debt is
= 6.06% × (1 - 0.30)
= 4.24%

Answer: Hello I was able to find the Major part of the question online as attached below
answer :
Net present value ( NPV ) = $153353.91
Explanation:
NPV = ( Present value of Cash Inflow) - ( Present value of Cash outflow) -- ( 1 )
present value of cash inflow
i) cosmetic products = ( 5500 * 1.25 * 12) * ( 6.8137) (cost of capital )) = 562130.25
ii) land sale = ( 1500 * 300 * 1.25 ) * ( 0.8186 ) ( cost of capital )) = 179212.5
∑ present value of cash inflow = 741342.75
Present value of cash outflow ( other expenses )
∑ present value of cash outflow = 587,988.84
NPV = 741,342.75 - 587,988.84 = $153,353.91

Loss in purchasing value = future value of the amount saved - amount saved
The formula for calculating future value:
FV = P (1 + r)^n
FV = Future value
P = Present value
R = interest rate
N = number of years
$25000 (1.025)² = $26.265.625
Amount lost = $26.265.625 - $25,000 = $1265.63

A small firm builds television antennas. The investment in plan and equipment is $200,000. The variable cost per television antenna is $500. The price of the television antenna is $1000. How many television antennas would be needed for the firm to break even
Answer:
Break-even quantity is 400 units.
Explanation:
Below is the calculation for the number of television antennas:
At break-even, the firm's total revenue is equal to the total cost.
Cost of investment (fixed cost) = $200000
Variable cost = $500
Pirce of television antenna = $1000
At break-even, TR = TC
(P x Q) = (TFC + TVC)
1000Q = 200000 + 500Q
10000Q-500Q = 200000
500Q = 200000
Q = 200000 / 500
Q = 400 units
Thus break-even quantity is 400 units.
