Answer: escalation of commitment
Explanation:
Escalation of commitment is when an individual or firm chooses an option which tends to be unsuccessful but the individual or firm still continues with the project because there has been investment which has already been made on it.
From the question, we are told that Rachel pushed very hard to go with Project A rather than Project B. From the information given, despite the fact that project A has been unsuccessful, Rachel continued with it and invested more in it rather than changing or leaving it for project B. This shows that Rachel is engaging in escalation of commitment.

You want a seat on the board of directors of Red Cow, Inc. The company has 260,000 shares of stock outstanding and the stock sells for $51 per share. There are currently 5 seats up for election. The company uses straight voting. How much will it cost you to guarantee that you will be elected to the board
Answer:
$2,210,051
Explanation:
The computation of the cost that would be guaranteed is shown below:
first find the number of shares controlled which is
= (S x N) ÷ (D + 1) ] + 1
Where,
S = the total number of shares
N = the number of directors required
D = total number of directors i.e. elected
So,
= (260,000 × 1) ÷ (5 + 1) + 1
= 43,334
Now the cost is
= 43,334 × $51
= $2,210,051

CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day. ...............
Inelastic unit-elastic Elastic perfectly elastic
Answer:
Contain Yourself!, a plastic container company, raises the price of its signature "lunchbox" container from $3.00 to $4.00. As a result, the quantity sold drops from 20,000 to 15,000.
UNIT ELASTIC ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is unit elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally equal change in the quantity demanded.
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(15 - 20) / [(15 + 20)/2]} / {($4 - $3) / [($4 + $3)/2]} = -0.2857 / 0.2857 = -1 or |1| in absolute terms
Economists working for the United States have determined that the elasticity of demand for gasoline is 0.5.
INELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the price elasticity of demand is inelastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally lower change in the quantity demanded.
CapCityMetro decides to increase bus fare rates from $2.00 to $2.21. Consequently, the number of passengers who decide to take the bus in Austin drops from an average of 70,000 riders a day to an average of 61,000 riders a day.
ELASTIC DEMAND ⇒ when the demand for a good is elastic, a change in price will result in a proportionally higher change in quantity demanded.
PED = % change in quantity / % change in price = {(61,000 - 70,000) / [(61,000 + 70,000)/2]} / {($2.21 - $2) / [($2.21 + $2)/2]} = -0.1374 / 0.1 = -1.374 or |1.374| in absolute terms
The stock of Static Corporation has a beta of 0.7. If the expected return on the market increases by 6%, the expected return on Static Corporation should increase by
Answer: 4.2%
Explanation:
Beta is a measure of sensitivity of a stock in that it measures how the stock reacts to a movement in market return. The Beta of the Market is 1.
If a Stock's Beta is 2, this means that if expected market return increases by 1%, the stock's expected return will increase by 2%. If a Stock's beta is 0.5 then if the expected return on the market increases by 1%, the stock's expected return will increase by 0.5%.
In this case the expected return on the market increases by 6% so the expected return on Static Corporation should increase by;
= 0.7 * 6%
= 4.2%
connecting u dropped its price from $20 to $16 per gigabyte of data. Joe according to the midpoint formula, Connecting U reduced its price by what percentage?
Answer:
-$22.2
Explanation:
The computation of price by percentage is shown below:-
Price by percentage = (End price - Beginning price) ÷ (End price - Beginning price) ÷ 2 × 100
= ($16 - $20) ÷ ($16 - $20) ÷ 2 × 100
= -$4 ÷ $18 × 100
= -$400 ÷ $18
= -$22.2
So, we have applied the above formula.
And, the same is to be considered
Connecting u dropped price in percentage is 22.2%
Midpoint formula:Given that;
Old price = $20
New price = $16
Find:
Connecting u dropped price in percentage
Computation:
[tex]Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{\frac{16+20}{2} }]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{16-20}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=[\frac{-4}{18}]100\\\\Dropped\ price\ in\ percentage=22.2[/tex]
Connecting u dropped price in percentage = 22.2%

Explanation:
On August 20th, one of your employees comes to you with a vacation request. The employee’s available vacation time expires on September 1st, however she wants to take her vacation between September 20th through the 25th.
She asks you to submit her vacation request to the corporate office for the week prior to September 1st, and wants you to not schedule her for the days between the 20th and 25th, and she wants her "vacation" pay for those days.
Would you do it? Why? or Why Not?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
Her vacation is expired and therefore invalid. Also she is requesting for a pay during this period which counters Amy form of sympathy for this employee. However, depending on the relationship the employee has with her employer, there might be a compromise especially if the employee really does need the vacation as she may be burned out or may have postponed vacation till expiration for the interest of the company

If overhead is applied using traditional costing based on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Explanation:
If overhead is applied using traditional costing based on direct labor hours, the overhead application rate is:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
For example:
Total estimated overhead= $150,000
Allocation base= direct labor hours
Estimated Total number of direct labor hours= 10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 150,000/10,000
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $15 per direct labor hour
Daily demand for a certain product is normally distributed with a mean of 138 and a standard deviation of 13. The supplier is reliable and maintains a constant lead time of 7 days. The cost of placing an order is $17 and the cost of holding inventory is $0.40 per unit per year. There are no stock-out costs, and unfilled orders are filled as soon as the order arrives. Assume sales occur over 358 days of the year.
Your goal here is to find the order quantity and reorder point to satisfy a 73 percent probability of not stocking out during the lead time.
a. To manage inventory, the company is using
Continuous review system
Periodic review system
b. Find the order quantity. (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Order quantity books
c. Find the reorder point. (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the correct critical value for the given α-level. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "z" value to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole number.)
Reorder point
Answer:
A. Continuous review system
B. Order quantity = 2,049 Books
C. Reorder point=987
Explanation:
a. In order To manage inventory, the company is using what is called Continuous review system
b. Calculation to find the order quality
Using this formula
Order quantity = √((2DS)/H)
Let plug in the morning
Order quantity=√ ((2 x 49,404 x 17)/0.40)
Order quantity = 2,049 Books
(138*358=49,404)
C. Calculation for reorder point
First step is to find the σL
73 % S.L. - z = 0.613
Using this formula to find the σL
σL = (Lσ^2)
Let plug in the formula
σL=√(7(13)^2)
σL= 34.39
Second step is to find the Reorder point using this formula
R = d bar(L) + zσL
Let plug in the formula
Reorder point = (138)(7) + 0.613(34.39)
Reorder point = 966+21
Reorder point=987

Sara purchased a life insurance policy as an investment from her neighbor, Angela. Angela, the original policy holder had paid premiums of $12,000 before the sale. Sara paid Angela $16,500 to acquire the life insurance policy. Sara made additional payments of $5,000. When Angela died, Sara collected $50,000. How much of the policy proceeds is taxable to Sara
Answer:
$16,500
Explanation:
She invested = $12,000
Total money spent to acquire the policy = ($16,500 + $5000) = $21,500
Total money invested on policy = $21500 + $12000
Total money invested on policy = $33500
Money that sara got after angela died = $50,000
Therefore, the taxable proceed will be = $50,000 - $33,500 = $16,500
A company looking to expand internationally with little risk would choose?
Answer:
LicensingFranchisingExplanation:
There are no options but Licensing as well as Franchising are some of the least riskiest ways to expand internationally.
With Licensing, the company looking to expand simply sells licenses to various companies in different countries giving them the right to use their image. Basically, the company the license is sold to gets access to the seller's intellectual property but then can run their business with a significant degree of autonomy.
Franchising represents another way to expand with little risk. It involves a company giving a license to another company to sell and sometimes produce their products as well as image rights. The company will give the franchisee (company that gets the license) the knowledge and training required to maintain the franchise and in exchange, franchisee pays a fee.
Both of these methods ensure that the name and brand of a company spread internationally whilst making money from it. Risk is minimized because the investment in other countries is low to nothing.

3. The last dividend paid by New Technologies was an annual dividend of $1.40 a share. Dividends for the next 3 years will be increased at an annual rate of 8 percent. After that, dividends are expected to increase by 3 percent each year. The discount rate is 16 percent. What is the current value of this stock
Answer:
$12.60
Explanation:
The computation of the current value of the stock is shown below:-
= $1.40 × (1.08) ÷ 1.16 + 1.40 × (1.08)^2 ÷ (1.16)^2 + 1.40 × (1.08)^3 ÷ (1.16)^3 + 1.40 × (1.08)^3 × (1.03) ÷ (0.16 - 0.03) × (1.16)^3
= $1.3034 + $1.2136 + $1.1299 + $8.9520
= $12.60
Therefore for computing the current value of stock we simply solved the above equation.
ogan Products computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 40,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period's estimated level of production. The company also estimated $466,000 of fixed manufacturing overhead expenses for the coming period and variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour. Logan's actual manufacturing overhead for the year was $713,400 and its actual total direct labor was 41,000 hours.
Required:
Compute the company's pre-determined overhead rate for the year.
Answer:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated direct labor hour= 40,000
Estimated fixed overhead= $466,000
Variable manufacturing overhead of $3.00 per direct labor-hour.
To calculate the predetermined manufacturing overhead rate we need to use the following formula:
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (466,000/40,000) + 3
Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $14.65 per direct labor hour
Brief Exercise 14-08 Ziegler Corporation reports net income of $380,000 and a weighted-average of 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding for the year. Compute the earnings per share of common stock.
Answer:
$1.9
Explanation:
The computation of the earning per share is shown below:
Earning per share is
= Net income ÷ Weighted number of oustanding shares
= $380,000 ÷ 200,000 shares
= $1.9
By simply divide the net income from the Weighted number of oustanding shares, the earning per share could be determined
Hence, the earning per share is $1.9

Mickey, Mickayla, and Taylor are starting a new business (MMT). To get the business started, Mickey is contributing $200,000 for a 40% ownership interest. Mickayla is contributing a building with a value of $200,000 and a tax basis of $150,000 for a 40% ownership interest, and Taylor is contributing legal services for a 20% ownership interest. Using the research skills you learned in Week 1, access RIA Checkpoint and research what amount of gain/income each owner is required to recognize under each of the following alternative situations?
a. MMT is formed as a C corporation.
b. MMT is formed as an S corporation.
c. MMT is formed as LLC.
Answer:
a. MMT is formed as a C corporation.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §351, but Taylor's doesn't.
b. MMT is formed as an S corporation.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §351, but Taylor's doesn't.
c. MMT is formed as LLC.
Mickey and Mickayla will not recognize any gain, while Taylor must recognize $100,000 as ordinary income. Mickey and Mickayla's exchange classifies under §721, but Taylor's doesn't.
Explanation:
Basically §351 and §721 are very similar except that one applies to corporations and the other applies to partnerships and LLCs. No gain will be recognize when assets are transferred in exchange for equity, and the people involved in the exchange can control the company.
Explain how allocating the profits evenly between the partners would work. Consider the fairness to each of the partners in your response.
Answer and Explanation:
Allocation of profit to partners is all dependent on partnership agreement also called partnership deed where sharing ratio as well as role and participation of partners are stated clearly. The sharing ratio states how profits or losses in the partnership is shared amongst partners. If there is ratio to share profit equally or higher and lower for certain partners, it is made and stated clear in partnership deed before business commences, this ensures there is fairness in partners' dealings and everyone gets his share according to agreement
If national income is $5,000 billion, compensation of employees is $1,105 billion, proprietors’ income is $1,520 billion, corporate profits are $490 billion, and net interest is $128 billion, then rental income is equal to
Answer:
Rental income = $1,757 billion
Explanation:
National income is defined as the value of goods and services that a nation produces within a financial year.
Therefore it is made up of all economic actives that the nation is involved in.
The gross domestic product is a measure of the national income.
The formula for national income is given below
National income = employees compensation + proprietors' income + corporate profits + rental income +net interest
5,000 billion = 1,105 billion + 1,520 billion + 490 billion + rental income + 128 billion
Rental income = 5,000 billion - 3,243 billion
Rental income = $1,757 billion
Svetlana won $1,000,000 in a contest, to be paid in twenty $50,000 payments at yearly intervals, the first payment paid at the time of the contest. (Of course, the present value of her winnings is less than $1,000,000.) Svetlana decided to keep X each year to spend and deposit the remaining $50;000 X into an account earning an annual effective interest rate of 5%. She chose the value X to be as large as possible so that, at the moment of the 20th deposit, the account would have grown to such a size that it would provide Svetlana and her heirs at least X per year in interest forever. Find X.
Answer: 31155.5
Explanation:
The following can be deduced from the question:
Money won = $1,000,000
Installments made yearly = $50,000
Interest rate = 5%
The yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be: = 500000-x
The future Value of the yearly deposits made by Svetalana will be:
= (50000-x) × (1/(1.05) + (1/(1.05)^2 .....(1/(1+0.05)^20))
= (500000-x) × 33.066
We should recall that the interest from the question is equated to x. This will be:
33.066 × (50000-x) × 0.05 =x
1.6533(50000 - x) = x
82665 - 1.6533x = x
2.6533x = 82665
x = 82665/2.6533
x = 31155.5

At the local banking institution the branch manager doubles as the IT "go-to" by handling printer setups, resettingLAN passwords, and periodically monitoring the branch’s server health. Last week she noted that a handful of herbranch’s customers complained about suspicious activity in their checking accounts. She knew that the main branchwould handle it and repair any fraudulent charges. She also knew better than to bother the main branch with these customer complaints because the main branch is always ahead of things like this and quickly reminds her that they seewhat she does. Her only response, therefore, was to assure her customers that their accounts would be repaired withinten business days.The most likely law or regulation that becomes an issue upon her discovery i:__________.
a. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act’s Safeguards Rule
b. The Good Samaritan Law
c. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Answer: d. The FTC’s Red Flags Rule
Explanation:
The Federal Trade Commission has a Red Flags Rules that requires that financial institutions like Banks should implement a program that is capable of flagging instances of suspicious activity that could point to identity theft in the covered accounts that it holds.
This bank's customers are seeing some suspicious activity in their checking accounts which could point to a case of identity theft. The Red Flags rule could therefore be the most relevant rule to the manager's discovery.
