E. Good implementation of the corrective actions that are initiated.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Choosing talented company personnel to get the causes of poor performance fixed quickly and then making sure they are generously rewarded for their success.

Explanation:

Leadership is an essential function for a company to be well positioned in the market and achieve its objectives and goals.

According to Fayol, the role of a leader is to plan, organize, command, coordinate and control, so these functions correspond to all alternatives in the text, except D, because the function of quickly resolving the causes of poor performance at work is the leader and not an employee even if the leader believes that the employee has the capacity for such a task.

What would happen to GDP if a significant number of house-spouses who were previously staying home to care for their children began taking jobs and placing their children in day-care? Would the nation's well-being necessarily be better off?

Answers

Answer:

The GDP will increase.

Explanation:

The number of women taking a job will result in the rise of real GDP because their participation will increase the number of economic activities. Therefore, a rise in economic activities will boost the GDP. But it would be uncertain to say that the well being of the nation will be better off because daycare will harm the bond of children and parents. Moreover, lack of parental supervision will result in the low performance of children at the latter age and if the child is at the age in which breastfeeding is required then lack of breastfeeding may harm child's physical and mental health as well.

If the nominal interest rate is 4.7% and the inflation rate is 3.4%, what is the real interest rate?

Answers

Answer:

1.3%

Explanation:

The real interest rate is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate from the nominal interest rate.

real interest rate=nominal interest rate-inflation rate

nominal interest rate=4.7%

inflation rate= 3.4%

real interest rate=4.7%-3.4%

real interest rate=1.3%

According to this, the answer is that the real interest rate is 1.3%.

Answer:

Neat Clothes

1. Can you explain how did we get 22,400?

The total wages for 2 weeks or 10 days (5 days each) is $32,000.  For the weeks under review, only 7 days are worked in June, the remaining 3 days are in July.  To calculate June salaries alone the $32,000 is divided by 10 days, to get the wages per day, and then multiplied by 7 days for the seven days in June.

2. Why we divide 7 over 10? What does 7 mean and what does 10 represent?

The 7 means the days of work done in June and 10 represents the 2 weeks for which wages are being calculated.

So, dividing 7 over 10 gives the proportion of June salaries from the total of $32,000.

Bond Prices in most countries is expressed per $100. We shall use this as the Price for the bond in question.

Then the Yield to Maturity (YTM), r of the Bond can be determined as follows

Pv = - $103

pmt = ($100 × 9.80) ÷ 2 = $4.90

p/yr = 2

n = (14 - 2) × 2 = 24

Fv = $100

r = ?

Using a Financial Calculator,  the Yield to Maturity (YTM), r is 9.38 %

The Oliver Company plans to market a new product. Based on its market studies, Oliver estimates that it can sell up to 5,500 units in 2005. The selling price will be $2 per unit. Variable costs are estimated to be 20% of total revenue. Fixed costs are estimated to be $6,400 for 2005. How many units should the company sell to break even

Answers

Answer:

4,000

Explanation:

Break even quantity = fixed cost / price - variable cost per unit

Total revenue = price x quantity sold

$2 x 5,500 = $11,000

Variable cost = 0.2 x $11,000 = $2,200

Variable cost per unit = $2,200 / 5500 = $0.4

 $6,400 / $2 - $0.4 = 4,000

What is the future value of $15,000 received today if it is invested at 7.5% compounded annually for five years

Answers

Answer:

the future value is $21,534.44

Explanation:

The computation of the future value is shown below:

As we know that

Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years

where,  

Present value is $15,000

The Interest rate is 7.5%

And, the number of the year is 5 years

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the future value is  

= $15,000 × (1 + 0.075)^5

= $21,534.44

Hence, the future value is $21,534.44

Orange Co. is a manufacturer and Pineapple Company is a merchandiser. What is the difference in the budgets the two entities will prepare?

Answers

Answer:

Orange Co.'s budget will include the cost of production, which is made up of raw materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.  The above cost of production and the accompanying items will not be found in the budget of Pineapple Company.  The latter's budget will focus on purchase of goods for sale (instead of raw materials) and inventories of finished goods (instead of raw materials and work in process).  Orange Co. determines its product cost per unit from the cost of production divided by the quantity produced.  Pineapple Company's product cost is based on the purchase price of goods, which includes the manufacturer's profit.

D) Debit Notes Receivable $10,710; credit Sales $10,710.
E) Debit Accounts Receivable $10,710; credit Sales $10,710.

Answers

Answer:

A) Debit Notes Receivable $10,500; credit Sales $10,500.

Explanation:

The journal entry for recording the sales transaction is shown below:

Notes receivable Dr $10,500

        To Sales $10,500

(Being the recording of the sales transaction is recorded)

Here we debited the note receivable as it increased the assets and credited the sales as it also increased the revenue so that the correct posting of this transaction could be done

Hence, the correct option is A.

A bond with a coupon rate of 5.16 percent and semiannual coupon payments matures in 12 years. The YTM is 6.37 percent. What is the effective annual yield?

Answers

Answer:

6.47%

Explanation:

The computation of effective annual yield is shown below:-

Annual YTM = 6.37%

Semiannual YTM = 6.37% ÷ 2

= 3.185%

Effective Annual Yield = (1 + Semiannual YTM)^2 - 1

= (1 + 0.03185)^2 - 1

= 1.03185^2 - 1

= 1.0647 - 1

= 0.0647

or

= 6.47%

Hence, the effective annual yield is 6.47% i.e come after applying the above formula

e. Which country has a comparative advantage in producing cars? f. Which country has a comparative advantage in producing grain?

Answers

Answer:

Comparative advantage in Cars - JapanComparative advantage in grain - America

Explanation:

The country that has a competitive advantage in producing something is the one that has less opportunity cost when they do so. In other words, they give up less of another good in order to produce a good.

The Japanese can either produce 4 cars or 5 tons of grain in a year. If they forgo 1 car therefore they produce 5/4 = 1.25 tons of grain per year.

If Americans forgo 1 car they produce 10/4 = 2.5 tons of grain.

Japan has a lower opportunity cost producing cars so they have a comparative advantage.

For Japan to produce 1 ton of grain they will forgo 5/4 = 0.8 cars. For Americans to produce 1 ton of grain they will forgo 4/10 = 0.4 cars.

America has a lower opportunity cost producing grain so they have a comparative advantage.

What investments could Trafigura make to maximise its market position while maintaining a responsible risk profile

Answers

Answer:

By applying a process of natural hedging, with integrated operational management, logistics and infrastructural investments, Trafigura can diversify its activities and investments so that risks are flattened out.  For instance, its investments in storage and shipping capabilities ensure that if the demand for storage is low, the demand for shipping will increase and vice versa.

Furthermore, when Trafigura is not trading actively in the physical commodity, it can use its asset management, logistics, and distribution capabilities and globalized network of subsidiaries and activities to offset the low revenue from trading.  These diversified investments and assets, therefore, enhance and complement its various activities so that its risk profile is constantly being managed in a balanced manner without incurring so much risk costs.

Explanation:

Trafigura Group Pte. Ltd. according to sources, is one of the world's "largest independent and integrated commodity traders and a logistics, warehousing, asset management, mining, and energy distribution conglomerate."  As a multinational commodity trading company founded in 1993, Trafigura trades in base metals and energy, and is registered and headquartered in Singapore.

TASK: How is written and visual language used to attempt to persuade readers to share the point of view of the writer of Meanwhile, Back in the Real World ? Meanwhile, Back in the Real World Dump your iPods, get off the net, throw your mobiles away, and start living in the real world, kids. So say the doomsayers, and, of course, pollsters like TruBlu. The fact is this technology is the real world now for many of today's youth. Most people over 50 are startled by kids talking on mobiles, kids with ears connected to MP3s, kids texting every few minutes and tapping away on tablets. But to say that this technology causes isolation from the real world and lack of general knowledge is ridiculous. Technology such as the Internet deepens and broadens the minds of all those who use it. The TruBlu poll surveyed 220 people in the suburbs of Melbourne. Which suburbs? This would have made a difference to results. And why just Melbourne? Its impossible to generalise about teenagers from such a small sample. Of course, teenagers are more interested in listening to music or talking to friends on their mobiles than reading newspapers or watching TV current affairs. This is a clear example of their sociability, not an indication that they prefer dumb isolation. Are many TV current affairs shows really about current affairs or serious issues? Aren't they just a form of infotainment? Avoiding them might just as likely be a sign of taste and intelligence? Because a teenager has not been following political debates does not mean that he or she is out of touch with reality. Isn't it obvious that the survey was just another attempt to put young people down? The poll was designed to generate a bad picture of teenagers, i.e., show their ignorance. Its easy to create polls like this. Lazy even. Which is ironic, as that is what most parents accuse teenagers of being. So, parents, answer me this. Can you bear now to leave your mobile at home when you go out? It is a boon for all sorts of reasons - ordering the takeaway; telling family you're held up on the train or in traffic; calling for Dad or Mum or brother to pick you up. Is this social isolation? Is this lack of awareness? Hardly. Mobile phones have brought a sense of personal and social connectedness that makes the world a safer, as well as a more interesting, place for everybody, especially young people. A comprehensive report of the uses of technology in schools, conducted by the Sydney Morning Herald, found that: 'Today's school students are downloading homework on iTunes, listening to lessons via podcasts, communicating with other students all over the world through social networking sites, and even video conferencing with leaders of business and industry.' ('Technology in the Classroom', Kelli Cambourne, Sydney Morning Herald, 19 January 2010) This is hardly creating social isolation. An impressive educational development in the last few years is the way in which technology has been integrated into Australian classrooms. Through technology and a wide range of teaching methods, the learning programs of students have been greatly enhanced. A view of typical classrooms (pictured) shows a learning situation that is using technology within a collaborative classroom discussion, a social situation for meaningful learning, both social and academic, in which students are enthusiastic and active participants. If you want to ban technology in the classroom, you are not living in the 21st century. Many human beings have an innate fear of change, especially the advent of new technology. In the past, we have feared the printing press, newspapers, credit cards, novels, movies, computers and even television as potential destroyers of our culture, our way of life, our kids' futures. The ancient philosopher Socrates warned against writing because it would 'create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories.' In the early 20th century, radio arrived and was accused of destroying reading among children and distracting them from their homework. With television, more recently, the fears went much further, accusing TV of damaging radio, reading, conversation, family life and national culture. There is no objective, medical evidence to support any of these fears. Plenty of anecdotes, but no hard evidence. So, the next time you want to attack teenagers for using technology, try clicking refresh instead and realise they are actually the ones thoughtfully and socially taking us into the future.
