Answer: c. it tends to reduce cultural myopia and enhance local responsiveness.
Explanation:
A Geocentric staffing approach means that a company picks those that it views as the most suitable for a job regardless of the country they are from. This means that although the company is in Canada, they can hire a person from Sudan if they feel the person is suitable for the job in question.
The main advantage of this is that it reduces cultural myopia which is the tendency to belief that a person's culture i.e western culture, works across the globe. For instance, going back to the earlier example, a person from Sudan would most likely know more about norms in Sudan than a person from Canada.
This would ensure that the people hired, can respond effectively due to this reduction in cultural myopia.

Tax cuts shift aggregate demand Group of answer choices right as do increases in government spending. g left as do increases in government spending. left while increases in government spending shift aggregate demand right. right while increases in government spending shift aggregate demand left.
Answer: right as do increases in government spending
Explanation:
A tax cut will lead to an increase in the aggregate demand. Also, an increase in government expenditure will also lead to a rise in aggregate demand.
A tax cut and rise in government spending shifts the aggregate demand curve to the right. This is because when there's a tax cut, the disposable income available to the people increases and hence they can spend more and this will lead to rise in the aggregate demand.

Hutter Corporation declared a $0.50 per share cash dividend on its common shares. The company has 33,000 shares authorized, 16,800 shares issued, and 13,200 shares of common stock outstanding. The journal entry to record the dividend declaration is:a. Deblt Retained Earnings $6.600: credit Common Dividends Payable $6.600. b. Debrt Common Diwidends Payable $6.600. credit Cesh $6.600 c. Debit Retained Earnings $8.400 credit Common Dividends Payable $8.400 d. Debit Common Dividends Payable $8.400: credit Cash $8,400 e. Debit Retained Earnings $16.500: credit Common Dividends Payable $16,500
Answer: a. Debit Retained Earnings $6.600: credit Common Dividends Payable $6.600
Explanation:
The Dividends to be paid are;
= dividend * common stock outstanding
= 0.5 * 13,200
= $6,600
When dividends are simply declared, the Retained earnings will be debited by the dividend amount because dividends come from Retained earnings.
The dividends will be credited to a liability account to show that the company owes its shareholders some dividends. The liability account is called the Common Dividends Payable account.
Suppose Carla has $7000 to invest. Which investment yields the greater return over 4 years: 7% compounded quarterly or 6.85% compounded monthly
Answer:
The option with the quarterly compounding provides a higher future value.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Initial investment= $7,000
Number of years= 4 years
To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula:
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
Quarterly compounding:
Interest rate (i)= 0.07/4= 0.0175
n= 4*4= 16
FV= 7,000*(1.0175^16)
FV= $9,239.51
Monthly compounding:
i= 0.0685/12= 0.00571
n= 4*12= 48
FV= 7,000*(1.00571^48)
FV= $9,200.07
The option with the quarterly compounding provides a higher future value.

Write a short message/email/memo based on the following case scenario - As head of the occupational health and safety committee at your workplace, you are concerned about the practice of stocking employee kitchenettes with free coffee and cookies. Lately, you have begun to notice that stressed out employees routinely skip lunch and instead grab handfuls of cookies to eat at their desks. While you understand the necessity for the quick snacks, you feel that there is room in the budget to provide healthier alternatives to these high-fat, carbohydrate-laden snacks. In fact, your committee voted in favour of this but you feel some employees will resist this and be upset to lose the cookies and coffee. -- Now, write a short message/memo/email to all staff announcing that, effective next month, kitchenettes will be stocked with a selection of fresh fruit, whole-grain snacks, and spring water instead of the usual cookies and coffee. Consider which approach you should use -- direct or indirect -- before you write it.

Sheridan Company reports the following information (in millions) during a recent year: net sales, $17,371.2; net earnings, $481.6; total assets, ending, $6,899.2; and total assets, beginning, $6,806.4. Calculate the (1) return on assets, (2) asset turnover, and (3) profit margin ratios. (Round answers to 1 decimal place, e.g. 15.2% or 15.1.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
As we know that
1. Return on assets is
= Net income ÷ avg total assets
where,
Avg total assets is
= (opening total assets + closing total assets) ÷ 2
= ($6,806.4 + $6,899.2) ÷ 2
= $6,852.8
Now return on asset is
= $481.6 ÷ $6,852.8
= 7.0%
2. Assets turnover ratio = net sales ÷ avg total assets
= $17,371.2 ÷ $6,852.8
= 2.5 times
3. Profit margin = net income ÷net sales
= $481.6 ÷ $17,371.2
= 2.8%

Answer:
b) $2,350
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of goods sold under the LIFO method is shown below:
Since there is 60 unit sold
So,
= Number of units purchase × price per unit + opening inventory remaining units × price per unit
= 50 units × $40 + 10 units × $35
= $2,000 + $350
= $2,350
hence, the cost of goods sold under the LIFO method is $2,350
Therefore the correct option is b) $2,350
Household A earns $50,000 a year and pays $10,000 in taxes. Household B earns $200,000 a year and pays $50,000 in taxes. The tax system described here is:______
Answer: d. progressive
Explanation:
In a Progressive tax regime, taxes are paid based on the taxable amount of the taxpayer. The higher the taxable amount, the higher the tax rate paid.
In this scenario, the tax rates are;
Household A = 10,000/50,000 = 20%
Household B = 50,000/200,000 = 25%
Household B is paying a higher tax rate because they earn more making this a progressive regime.

If (in one month) I make a total of 10 hours of calls at standard hours, how much more or less will I pay for a Basic contract than for Premium
Answer:
I make a total of 10 hours of calls at standard hours, how much more or less will I pay for a Basic contract than for Premium is discussed below in detail.
Explanation:
The quantity of hours of free calls in a year is 10.
explanation:
From the provided report it is obvious that for basic understanding the number of hours of available calls in a month is 3.
We understand that 1 year is equivalent to 12 months.
1 year = 12 months.
For the basic contract:
The number of hours of available calls in a month = 3
Using the above transformation, we get
The number of hours of available calls in a year = 3 × 12 = 36
Therefore the number of hours of available calls in a year is 36.
A basic contract can be defined as one in which a user can make use of some features but does not have access to some features which would need additional payment to get access to.
As a result of this, a premium contract can be considered as the plan where all the available options are at the disposal of the user and has a slight edge over a basic contract user.
With this in mind, we can note that the pricing plan of the basic contract would be lower than that of the premium contract.

If a country experienced a natural disaster which wiped out a quarter of its capital stock, what would happen in the long run to its potential GDP?
Answer:
the options are missing:
a) It would at first fall dramatically and remain below its pre-disaster level indefinitely.
b) The capital stock would remain unaffected and continue on as usual.
c) It would fall in the short-term and then rise back to pre-disaster levels in the long-term.
the correct answer is: c) It would fall in the short-term and then rise back to pre-disaster levels in the long-term.
Explanation:
When a severe natural disaster hits a country or a region, large portions of its capital stock might be negatively affected, e.g. an earthquake and tsunami hit Japan in 2011 and halted most of the factories in the affected regions. This negative effect lasted for more than 6 months and many car factories couldn't produce normally for almost a year. That included factories in the US and other countries that used Japanese components. But after a year or so, production levels were almost back to normal.

Zoogle, Inc decides NOT to develop a self-driving car because of the possible lawsuits. What type of risk management decision is this
Answer: 3) Avoidance
Explanation:
The decision made by Zoogle Inc. not to develop the self-driving car as a result of potential lawsuits is a risk avoidance decision. As the term implies, Zoogle is avoiding the risk of being hit by lawsuits by removing the principal reason that they may be sued which is the car.
In so doing they do not have to worry about any future lawsuits in that regard because the reason for the lawsuits would never have been initiated in the first place.
The town of Smallsville is considering building a museum. The interest on the money Smallsville will have to borrow to build the museum will be $1,000 per year. Each citizen's marginal benefit from the museum is shown in the following table, and this marginal benefit schedule is public information.
Citizen Marginal benefit from museum ($/year)
Anita…………………………. 340
Brandon…………………………. 290
Carlena…………………………. 240
Dallas…………………………. 190
Eloise…………………………. 140
a. Assuming each citizen voted his or her private interests, would a referendum to build the museum and raise each citizen's annual taxes by $200 pass?
b. A citizen proposes that the city let a private company build the museum and charge the citizens a lump-sum fee each year to view it as much as they like. Only citizens who paid the fee would be allowed to view the museum. If the private company were allowed to set a single fee, would any company offer to build the museum?
c. A second citizen proposes allowing the private company to charge different prices to different citizens and auctioning the right to build the museum to the highest bidding company. Again, only the citizens who pay the fee may view the museum. What is the highest bid a private company would make to supply the museum to Smallsville?
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
a. This has been solved and attached.
Note that the net benefits was calculated as:
= Marginal benefit - $200
b. Looking at the table and information provided in the attachment, we would see that no company offer to build the museum because since their cost of $1000 can't be covered by the revenue generated. The highest revenue gotten for the single price monopolist is $760 and this can't even cover their cost.
c. Based on the scenario given in (c), the highest revenue the price discriminating monopolist would make is $1200 and coupled with the fact that the cost is $1000, the maximum bid that a private company would make to supply the museum to Smallsville is $200 ($1200 - $1000)
a. Assuming that each citizen voted their private interests, a referendum to build the museum and raise each citizen's annual taxes by $200 would pass because 3/5 (60%) of the citizens would vote in favor. They derive more marginal benefit than the head tax increase from the museum project.
b. No company would likely offer to build the museum based on a single lump-sum fee because the marginal benefits derived by the five citizens are not equal nor more than $200 each. If the private company charges above $140, not all the citizens would be willing to pay.
c. The highest bid a private company would make to supply the museum to Smallsville is $100,000. This cost is based on a 10% annual interest ($1,000/10% x 10 years) for ten years.
Thus, given the facts of the case, it would be more beneficial for the town of Smallsville to borrow $100,000 to build the museum and raise the annual tax by $200 to enable the citizens to enjoy the services of the museum while the town recovers the investment costs plus interests on the borrowed funds over time.

A proposed project has fixed costs of $ 43,000 per year. The operating cash flow at 8,000 units is $ 79,000. Ignoring the effect of taxes, what is the degree of operating leverage? If units sold rise from 8,000 to 8,500, what will be the increase in operating cash flow? What is the new degree of operating leverage?
Answer:
The increase in operating cash flow is $4937.50
The new degree of operating leverage is 1.5122
Explanation:
OCF at 8,000 units = $79,000
OCF after increase at 8,500 units is ?
So, we compute to know the increase in operating cash flow.
==>> 8500/8000 * 79000 = 83937.5
==>> The increase in operating cash flow is 83937.5 – 79000 = $4937.50
Now, we look at What is the new degree of operating leverage
Fixed Cost = 43,000
OCF at 8,500 units = 83937.5
DOL = 1 + FC / OCF
DOL = 1 + 43,000 / 83937.5
DOL = 1.5122
Thus, the new degree of operating leverage is 1.5122

Answer:
Pleas see answers below
Explanation:
1. Using FIFO
This methods assumes that goods bought first are the first to be sold in chronological order. This means that ending inventory is based on the largest purchases, while the cost of goods sold is based on the earlier purchases.
Cost of goods sold
= (3,880 × $8 + $5,430 × $10)
= $85,340
2. Using LIFO
LIFO as an inventory method assumes ,
Cost of goods sold are those that were brought in first.
= (8,660 × $10 + 650 × $8)
= $91,800
3. Using Average cost
Average cost method uses an average cost to value.
Cost of goods sold
= 9,310 × $9.38

The market risk premium is 10.0 percent, and the risk-free rate is 4.2 percent. If the expected return on a bond is 10.5 percent, what is its beta? (Round answer to 2 decimal places, es. 15.25.) Beta of the bond
Answer:Beta of the bond = 0.63
Explanation:
According to the CAPM, Capital Asset pricing mode formulae, The expected return is given as
Expected return= Risk free rate + Beta ( Market premium)
where
Expected return = 10.5 percent
Market risk premium =10.0 percent
risk-free rate is 4.2 percent.
Expected return= Risk free rate + Beta ( Market premium)
Putting their values and solving, we have
10.5% = 4.2%+ Beta (10.0%)
10.5 %- 4.2%=Beta (10.0%)
Beta=10.5 %- 4.2%/10.0%
Beta=0.63.
Beta of the bond = 0.63
