As the workforce becomes more diverse, why does performance appraisal become a more difficult process?
Answer: The diversification of the employees in the organization will bring about a larger difference between the workers and raters and could invariably lead to bias at the workplace.
Explanation:
Performance appraisal is also called performance evaluation and it is when the performance of a worker in a company is being appraised or evaluated so as to improve efficiency and output.
The diversification of the employees in the organization will bring about a larger difference between the employees and the raters who are rating them. Hence, the above situation can lead to biases and unfairness in the workplace.

You observe a portfolio for five years and determine that its average return is 11.3% and the standard deviation of its returns in 19.7%. Would a 30% loss next year be outside the 95% confidence interval for this portfolio?
Answer:
-28.1%
Explanation:
Calculation for what would a 30% loss next year be outside the 95% confidence interval for the portfolio
The standard deviation of 95% confident will be 2
The first step is to find the Upper tail using this formula
Upper tail= Average return percentage +(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)
Let plug in the formula
Upper tail=0.113+(2*0.197)
Upper tail =0.113+0.394
Upper tail=0.507*100
Upper tail =50.7%
Second step is to find the Lower tail using this formula
Lower tail=Average return percentage -(Standard deviation of 95% confident *Standard deviation of its returns)
Let plug in the formula
Upper tail=0.113-(2*0.197)
Upper tail =0.113-0.394
Upper tail=-0.281*100
Upper tail =28.1%
Based on the above calculation the lower tail was -28.1% which means that it wouldn't in any way loss more than the 30% of it value next year outside the 95% confidence interval for the portfolio

Caribou Gold Mining Corporation is expected to pay a dividend of $6 in the upcoming year. Dividends are expected to decline at the rate of 3% per year. The risk-free rate of return is 5%, and the expected return on the market portfolio is 13%. The stock of Caribou Gold Mining Corporation has a beta of .5. Using the constant-growth DDM, the intrinsic value of the stock is _________. A. $150 B. $50 C. $100 D. $200
Answer:
$50
Explanation:
Caribou Gold mining corporation is expected to make a dividend payment of $6 next year
Dividend are expected to decline at a rate of 3%
= 3/100
= 0.03
The risk free rate of return is 5%
= 5/100
= 0.05
The expected return on the market portfolio is 13%
= 13/100
= 0.13
The beta is 0.5
The first step is to calculate the expected rate of return
= 0.05+0.5(0.13-0.05)
= 0.05+0.5(0.08)
= 0.05+0.04
= 0.09
Therefore, the intrinsic value of the stock using the constant growth DDM model can be calculated as follows
Vo= 6/(0.09+0.03)
Vo= 6/0.12
Vo= $50
Hence the intrinsic value of the stock is $50

If a company would still have a cash flow item even if they rejected potential new Project A, should this particular cash flow item be included in Project A's cash flow analysis?
Answer: No
Explanation:
When computing a project analysis for a project, only relevant cash flow should be included in the Project's cash flow analysis. Relevant cash-flow are those that will only occur if the project was embarked on.
If the cash flow in question is still going to occur even if the project wasn't initiated as is the case with Project A, it is not a relevant cash-flow and should not be included in the cash-flow analysis.

Answer:
The depreciation expense for the year is $162000. Thus, option C is the correct answer
Explanation:
The depreciation expense is the systematic allocation of the cost of the asset over its estimated useful life. The depreciation can be calculated using various methods. Under the units of production method, the depreciation expense for the period is calculated using the following formula,
Depreciation expense = [(Cost - Residual value) / Total estimated production units] * Units produced in a particular period
Depreciation expense = [(500000 - 14000) / 18000] * 6000
Depreciation expense = $162000

Allied Merchandisers was organized on May 1. Macy Co. is a major customer (buyer) of Allied (seller) products.
May 3 Allied made its first and only purchase of inventory for the period on May 3 for 2,000 units at a price of $10 cash per unit (for a total cost of $20,000).
5 Allied sold 1,500 of the units in inventory for $14 per unit (invoice total: $21,000) to Macy Co. under credit terms 2/10, n/60. The goods cost Allied $15,000.
7 Macy returns 125 units because they did not fit the customer’s needs (invoice amount: $1,750). Allied restores the units, which cost $1,250, to its inventory.
8 Macy discovers that 200 units are scuffed but are still of use and, therefore, keeps the units. Allied sends Macy a credit memorandum for $300 toward the original invoice amount to compensate for the damage.

After then, the general ledger is utilized to produce the company's financial statements. The idea behind a journal entry is to use double-entry accounting, which requires that every company transaction be recorded at least twice.
For instance, when you make a cash sale, the revenue account and the cash account are both increased. Alternatively, if you purchase items on credit, this raises both the accounts payable and inventory accounts.

Geese Company utilizes the LIFO retail inventory method. Its cost-to-retail percentage is 60% based on beginning inventory and 64% based on current-period purchases. The company determined that beginning inventory at retail was $200,000 and that during the current period a new layer was added with retail value of $50,000. The cost of ending inventory should be
Answer:
$152,000
Explanation:
Calculation for the cost of the ending inventory
First step is to calculate the cost-to-retail percentage of the beginning inventory amount
Using this formula
Beginning Inventory =Cost-to-retail percentage*Beginning inventory at retail
Let plug in the formula
Beginning Inventory =60%*$200,000
Beginning Inventory =$120,000
Second step is to calculate current-period purchases percentage of the new layer amount
Using this formula
Current period purchases= Purchases percentage* New layer
Let plug in the formula
Current period purchases=64%*50,000
Current period purchases=$32,000
The last step is to find the cost of the ending inventory using this formula
Ending inventory cost=Beginning Inventory+Current period purchases
Let plug in the formula
Ending inventory cost=$120,000+$32,000
Ending inventory cost=$152,000
Therefore the cost of the ending inventory will be $152,000

"When The Bank of Bank County borrows funds from the Federal Reserve; the rate the Fed charges the commercial bank is called the _____ rate."
Answer: Bank Rate/ Discount Rate
Explanation:
The Bank Rate is the interest rate that the Fed as the country's Central Bank charges commercial banks when they borrow money from it. The loans given are usually short term in nature.
The Bank Rate is a very useful tool in Monetary Policy by the Central Bank. If the Fed for instance would like to increase Economic activity by injecting cash into the economy, they can lower the bank rate and thus encourage more banks to loan money from them which will then be loaned to the public. If the Fed wanted to decrease Economic activity, the reverse would hold true.
Rather than crediting the Unearned rent account for $400 of prepaid rent received from a customer, which explains an alternate recording procedure to journalize this receipt?
Answer:
Record receipt with a credit to the rent revenue account
Any unused portion of the prepayment still existing at the end of the period will be transferred to the Unearned rent account
Explanation:
Prepaid rent is an income that is to be earned at a future date. Since income is normally recorded as a revenue when it is earned, we usually credit Unearned Rent account.
However financial statements are made at end of a defined period (for example monthly, quarterly, biannually, or yearly).
The journal entry can be credited to the Rent Revenue account directly. At the end of the period the amount earned is retained in the account, and the unearned portion of the prepaid rent is transferred to the Unearned Rent account.
So financial statements will only recognise earned income when prepared.
