Also, there is a reduction in the number of unions in the ndustrial sector. Some states have a right to work laws in place which has also led to reduction in the power of the unions.
Lastly, thecemployer reactions are also a contributory factor as they're more aggressive so as to keep unions from their companies.
Some industries’ competition is much more intense than others. Retail grocery stores such as Kroger, Safeway, and Albertson’s in the United States experience fierce competition and offer similar marketing campaigns to compete. What is this an example of in terms of Porter’s Five Forces Model? Multiple Choice rivalry among new entrants rivalry among existing competitors threat of substitute products or services buyer power
Answer:
rivalry among existing competitors
Explanation:
The Porters' 5 forces is used to analyse the competitiveness among firms in an industry.
Porter's 5 forces include :
Competition in the industry : the higher the number of companies in the industry, the lower the power an individual firm possesses. For example, if an industry increases it price, a consumer can easily shift to the consumption of substitutes Potential of new entrants into the industry : If there are low barriers to entry in an industry, firms in the industry experience greater competition Power of suppliers : the higher the number of suppliers in the industry, the higher the bargaining power of firms in the industry and the greater the power they possess Power of customers : the larger the number of customers, the greater the power firms possess Threat of substitute product : if there are little or no substitutes for the goods produced by companies, the greater the power the firms possessThe HR recruiting specialist and line managers at Clearwater Electronics work closely together when hiring new employees . The line managers are ultimately responsible for the final selection of a new employee , but the HR recruiting specialist serves an important role by providing information about potential employees and arranging for interviews .

The recruiting specialist can help the line managers from interviewing applicants who are not qualified for the positions . The recruiting specialist can help the line managers from relying too much on the interview , a common recruiting pitfall .
Answer: The recruiting specialist can help the line managers from interviewing applicants who are not qualified for the positions .
Explanation:
Since the line managers are responsible for the final selection of a new employee while the HR recruiting specialist gives information about potential employees and arranging for interviews, then the recruiting specialist can help the line managers from interviewing applicants who are not qualified for the positions.
By getting information from the potential employees, the recruiting specialist can know the people who are qualified for the job and possess the necessary requirements for the job and those who aren't qualified.
Profit-maximizing monopolists never produce in the range of output where MR is negative because
Answer: They wouldn't maximize profit.
Explanation:
Profit Maximizing Monopolists would always produce so long as Marginal revenue is positive because it would give them a chance to make more profit. If marginal revenue becomes negative, they would be making less than they did on the last product which would not be ideal to them.
This is so because the profit maximizing point is where marginal cost equals marginal revenue and as production increases, so also does marginal cost which means that for profit to be maximized, marginal revenue has to be positive as well to equal marginal cost.

Stock prices tend to ignore unexpected changes in dividend payments. Companies prefer to cut dividend payments rather than borrow money to fund a short-term cash need. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies. Share repurchases tend to increase agency costs. Short-term fluctuations in cash flows are the key factor in determining a company's dividend policy
Answer: B. Maintaining a steady dividend is a key goal of most dividend-paying companies.
Explanation:
Companies that pay dividends prefer in general, to maintain a steady dividend overtime. This does not necessarily mean that they will pay the same amount of dividend but rather that they will pay out dividends as within a certain percentage range of the net income.
Companies do not prefer to cut dividends so as not to send the wrong message so A is wrong. Share repurchases reduces agency costs so C is wrong. Short term fluctuations in cash flow are not the key favor in determining dividend policy as the company might still pay out the same regardless so this is wrong as well. Option B is the best answer.

Choose the false statement about the Building and Personal Property Coverage Form. A Personal property owned and used to service the building is included in the building coverage B Tenant's improvements that are not legally removable are included in the Personal Property of Others Coverage C Personal property of others that is in the insured's care, custody, and control is automatically included up to $2,500 under coverage extensions D Building Coverage includes the building structure, completed additions, permanently installed fixtures, machinery and equipment
Answer: Tenant's improvements that are not legally removable are included in the Personal Property of Others Coverage
Explanation:
The false statement about the Building and Personal Property Coverage Form is that "Tenant's improvements that are not legally removable are included in the Personal Property of Others Coverage"
The above is incorrect. This is because the Tenants Improvements and Betterments are not covered under the
Personal Property of Others Coverage but rather, they are covered in the Business Personal Property.
An investor entered into a contract with a winery. The contract provided that the investor would invest $1 million in the winery and, in return, the winery would produce and market at least 500,000 bottles of wine each year for five years under a specified label. The contract included a provision that, if feasible, the wine would be distributed by the winery only through a certain wholesale distributor of fine wines. Neither the investor nor the winery had previously dealt with the distributor. The distributor learned of the contract two days later from reading a trade newspaper. In reliance thereon, he immediately hired an additional sales executive and contracted for enlargement of his wine storage and display facility. If the winery refuses to distribute the wine through the distributor and the distributor then sues the winery for breach of contract, is it likely that the distributor will prevail
Answer:
It is NOT likely that the distributor will prevail.
Explanation:
There was no contract between the distributor and the winery. The intended distributor was not clearly stated in the trade newspaper that the distributor read and relied on to expand his salesforce and storage and display facilities. The distributed voluntarily acted on its own whims and caprices. A contract cannot be imagined. There must be an offer and acceptance, establishing the full consent of the parties to enter into a contract. The intention to contract is also lacking.

Suppose that you were interested in building a luxury apartment complex in your hometown. In your analysis of local demographics, you discover that the target market makes up only 5% (core market share) of the households that currently rent (or would be interested in renting) in this town. If market experts believe that a total of 5,000 apartment units will be rented in your entire hometown within the next year, what is the projected number of units the developer could expect to lease in year 1 if he is able to capture 20% of the market potential
Answer:
The projected number of units the developer could expect to lease in year 1 if he is able to capture 20% of the market potential is:
= 1,000 apartment units.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
The percentage of households that currently rent in the town = 5%
Demographic of households in the town = 100,000 (5,000/5%)
Number of apartment units established by market experts to be rented in the entire hometown within the next year = 5,000 (5% of 100,000)
20% of the market potential = 1,000 (5,000 * 20%)
On April 1, year 1, Hyde Corp., a newly formed company, had the following stock issued and outstanding:
1) Common stock, no par, $1 stated value, 20,000 shares originally issued for $30 per share.
2) Preferred stock, $10 par value, 6,000 shares originally issued for $50 per share.
Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report
Common stock
Preferred stock
Additional paid-in capital
Answer:
Common stock $20,000
Preferred stock $60,000
APIC $820,000
Explanation
Calculation to determine what Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report
Calculation to determine the COMMON STOCK
Common stock=20,000 shares*$1
Common stock=$20,000
Calculation to determine PREFERRED STOCK
Preferred stock =6,000 shares*$10
Preferred stock =$60,000
Calculation to determine ADDITIONAL PAID-IN CAPITAL (APIC)
APIC=[(6000*$50)-(6000*$10)]+[(20,000*$30)+(20,000*$1)]
APIC=($300,000-$60,000)+($600,000-$20,000)
APIC=$240,000+$580,000
APIC=$820,000
Therefore Hyde's April 1, year 1 statement of stockholders' equity should report:
Common stock $20,000
Preferred stock $60,000
APIC $820,000

According to the liquidity premium theory of the term structure, A. the interest rate on long-term bonds will equal an average of short-term interest rates that people expect to occur over the life of the long-term bonds plus a liquidity premium. B. buyers of bonds may prefer bonds of one maturity over another, yet interest rates on bonds of different maturities move together over time. C. even with a positive liquidity premium, if future short-term interest rates are expected to fall significantly, then the yield curve will be downward-sloping. D. all of the above. E. only A and B of the above.
Answer: D. all of the above.
Explanation:
The liquidity premium is the amount that is added to the interest rate in order to compensate investors for buying longer term and less liquid securities. This is why the interest rates on log-term bonds include a liquidity premium.
It is true that depending on preference, buyers of bonds prefer to buy one maturity over another but overall, the interest rates on different maturities move together in that an increase in the short term would see an increase in the long term.
Even if the liquidity premium is positive in order to compensate investors for longer maturities, it would not be enough to pull the interest rates up if they are falling significantly which would lead to a downward - sloping yield curve.
