Answer: The answers are noncompete; declare it void as geographical area is not specified.
Explanation: A noncompete agreement is an agreement between an employer and an employee restricting an employee from working in same industry after resignation.
However, for a noncompete agreement to be enforceable by law it has to specify a geographical area.
Answer:
The question is not complete.
Here is the complete question:
Eve, an experienced automotive engineer, signs a ____________ agreement with her employer, Environmental Auto Co., that she will never work in the auto industry after she leaves employment with Environmental. A court considering this agreement will ____________.
a)non-compete; only enforce the agreement if it resulted from a bargained-for exchange
b)non-compete; enforce the agreement only if such agreements are customary in the auto industry
c) non-compete; declare it void as geographical area is not specified
d) restrictive employment:; enforce the agreement in any event
Here is the answer:
c) non-compete; declare it void as geographical area is not specified
Explanation:
Employers normally demand employees to sign non-compete agreement when taking up employment with the employer. The major reason for this demand is for employer to protect his business idea and interest and prevent employee stealing and using his business idea while in employment with him and after leaving the employment.
However, non-compete is hard to enforce in the court of law. And there are many conditions to be met before it can be enforced. One of such conditions is definition of scope of location in which the employee will not compete with the employer. Any non-compete agreement without this specified geographical area will be void, not enforceable.
So in this case, Eve signs a non-compete agreement with Environmental Auto and a court considering this agreement will declare void,as geographical area is not specified .
James and three college friends want to buy a houseboat with each of them owning an equal share. If the lender issues a joint 1098 showing interest, PMI and points paid in the amount of $3000, how much can James deduct as expenses on his federal tax return?
Answer:
James can deduct as expenses on his federal tax return $750.
Explanation:
When buying a houseboat, you’ll likely have to pay a monthly fee for the slip. Sometimes, the slip or the dock is included in the purchase, but often, you’ll have to pay rent. If buying a floating home, you’ll probably have a fee similar to a homeowners association fee. These monthly fees can range from a couple of hundred dollars to more than $700, Marden says.
You can have only one second home for purposes of the mortgage interest deductions. For example, if you have two houses, one of which is your primary residence and one that you use as a vacation home, you have to substitute your boat for your existing second home if you want to take a boat tax deduction. In addition, for tax years prior to 2018, joint filers are limited to deducting the interest on the first $1 million of mortgage debt. However, for tax years 2018 and forward, you may only deduct interest on the first $750,000 of mortgage debt originated after December 16, 2017. So, if you're already over the limit your boat loan won't help you even if it otherwise qualifies.

client sells $49,000 of various stocks and wishes to use the proceeds to buy a mutual fund that has breakpoints at $10,000 intervals. Which statement is TRUE?
A. The customer must sign a letter of intent to reach the $50,000 breakpoint
B. The customer should be informed that investing an additional $1,000 will provide the benefit of a breakpoint
C. The customer should be informed that the sales charge earned by the representative will be lower if the breakpoint is reached
D. No additional disclosures are required to be made to the customer
Answer:
B. The customer should be informed that investing an additional $1,000 will provide the benefit of a breakpoint
Explanation:
In the transaction above some information should be disclosed and terms stated clearly so that both parties are satisfied.
For example violations must be avoided because if a customer is "close" to a breakpoint the customer must be prompted/aware that putting in the additional funds to reach that level had consequences which may/will result in a lower sales charge.
If a disclosure of this kind is not made, this registered representative however is said to have committed a violation known as a "breakpoint sale."
A city hired a research company to survey spring break vacationers to learn about this market. One of the questions asked was, "If you were able to hang out on the beach with any celebrity, who would she or he be?" This type of question is a means for gathering _________.
Answer:
Qualitative data
Explanation:
Qualitative data is defined as the data that approximates and characterizes. Qualitative data can be observed and recorded. This data type is non-numerical in nature. This type of data is collected through methods of observations, one-to-one interview, conducting focus groups and similar methods.
Answer:
qualitative data
Explanation:
Researchers seek two types of data, quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data measures numeric variables and is expressed in numbers, while qualitative data measures types of data, e.g. tastes, likes, expectations, etc. Qualitative data is generally gathered through surveys and in-depth interviews, and there are no correct or incorrect answers.
Once the data has been gathered, qualitative data is sorted in groups and quantified. E.g. a beauty cream survey gathers 1,000 different answers about consumer expectations regarding a new product and the research team will sort them into groups (e.g. softness, moisture, textures, etc.) and then quantify the groups.
Paula's Perfumes has a target profit of $4,000 per month. Perfume sells for $15.00 per bottle and variable costs are $13.50 per bottle. Fixed costs are $3,200 per month. The number of bottles that must be sold each month to earn the target profit is:______.
Answer:
4,800 bottles
Explanation:
The formula to compute the number of bottles sold is shown below:
= (Fixed cost + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
= $15 - $13.50
= $1.50
So, the number of bottles sold equal to
= ($3,200 + $4,000) ÷ ($1.50)
= 4,800 bottles
Answer:
Fixed costs are $3,200 per month. The number of bottles that must be sold each month to earn the target profit is 4,800

You and your friend, Jim, have just moved out of your dorm and into a new apartment. Both of you decide that you need to get a couch. Jim thinks you should get a new one from a furniture store nearby. You feel that, given your budget, it is best to buy a used one. Your other options are to buy one online or get a couch custom-made at the same furniture store.
How would you arrive at an optimal solution here? Assume that your opportunity cost of time is $5 per hour.
You and Jim would need to consider ___________.
A. only the marginal benefit of each couch.
B. only the price of each couch.
C. the direct costs of the price of each couch and the cost of having each couch moved to your apartment.
D. the direct costs and the indirect opportunity cost of your time required to shop.
E. the indirect costs of traveling to the furniture store and the opportunity cost of your time required to shop.
Answer:
D. the direct costs and the indirect opportunity cost of your time required to shop.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost by definition or formula, is the return on an alternative foregone less than the return on your chosen option. Considering opportunity costs in decision making or investment can lead to more profitable decision-making.
Hence in arriving at an option or optimal solution in relation t the decision on where to buy the couch, the direct costs of the price of the couch and transportation to our appartment will be considered in conjuction with the oppotunity costs

It is important to note also that today's Hearing aids are used to correct hearing loss in patients. A device that could assist Mr Wilkes is a customized In the ear aids (ITE) device fitted to his outer ear bowl.
Suppose you were assigned the task of choosing a price that maximized economic surplus. What price would you choose? Why? A. Choose a price of zero because that is where consumer surplus (the area under the demand curve and above the price) is maximized. B. Choose a price ceiling below the equilibrium so that consumers won't have to pay too much. C. Choose the price where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied because that is the equilibrium condition. D. Choose the price where the quantity supplied is maximized because that is where output is the greatest. E. Choose the highest price possible because that is where producer surplus (the area above the supply curve and below the price) is maximized.
Answer:
C. Choose the price where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied because that is the equilibrium condition.
Explanation:
The equilibrium price is the most ideal because at this price the consume is willing to buy, if price goes above this the consumer may look for an alternative and this will further increase surplus.
Also when there is surplus the suppliers will find a way to sell competitively at the equilibrium price.

b) a student tests 100 students to determine whether other students on her campus prefer soda brand a or soda brand b and finds no evidence that preference for brand a is not 0.5. later, a marketing company tests all students on campus and finds no difference. choose the correct answer below.
Answer:
B) The student did not make an error. The actual value is 0.50, which was not rejected.
Explanation:
First the student carried out a study which provided no evidence that the preference for brand A was not 0.5 or 50%, then the marketing company carried out a similar study and showed the same results. Since we are trying to determine if the student's research was well done, we must assume first that the marketing company did their research correctly.
If the student had rejected the claim of the marketing company, then she would have made a type I error (which didn't happen). If the student had wrongly accepted the claim from the marketing company (without any evidence of her own), then she would have made a type II error.
Since both studies provided the same conclusions, then we can assume that the student carried out her study in a proper and correct manner.
Final answer:
The question pertains to using statistical methods in mathematics to analyze the preference for soda brands among students, likely at the college level. A binomial distribution or its normal approximation could be used to conduct a hypothesis test to evaluate the proportion of students preferring a certain brand.
Explanation:
The subject of this question involves determining the preference for soda brands which falls under the category of statistics, a branch of mathematics focused on the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data. The grade level is likely college, as the concepts of hypothesis testing and proportions tend to be covered at this level of education.
To answer the question, when testing the preference of soda brands among students, one would use a binomial distribution if each choice is independent and there are only two possible outcomes (preference for either brand A or brand B). However, to approximate this, especially with a large sample size (such as 100 or more), a normal distribution can be used thanks to the central limit theorem. This would involve conducting a hypothesis test for proportions, where the null hypothesis (H0) would be that the proportion preferring brand A is 0.5 (no preference shown) and the alternative hypothesis (Ha) would differ based on whether it is a one-tailed or two-tailed test.
As of December 31, the Stanford company has the following information. Use this information to answer questions 1 to 3. Cash $5,000 Accounts Receivable 15,000 Inventory 40,000 Prepaid Insurance 3000 Long-term Assets 100,000 Accounts Payable 15,000 Notes Payable in 5 Months 12,500 Salary Payable 25,000 Notes Payable in 5 Years 35,000 Owner’s Equity 98,000 1. What is the company's Quick Ratio? Question 1 options: 1.70 0.70 0.38 1.25
Answer:
C. Quick Ratio = 0.38
Explanation:
We know,
Quick Ratio = [tex]\frac{Current Assets - Inventory - Prepaid Expenses}{Current Liabilities}[/tex]
Quick ratio means how quickly a company can pay its current debt with its quick assets.
Given,
Current Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Inventory + Prepaid Insurance
Current Assets = $(5,000 + 15,000 + 40,000 + 3,000) = $63,000
Current Liabilities = Accounts Payable + Notes Payable in 5 Months + Salary Payable
Current Liabilities = $(15,000 + 12,500 + 25,000) = $52,500
Putting the value in the formula,
Quick Ratio = [tex]\frac{63,000 - 40,000 - 3,000}{52,500}[/tex]
Quick Ratio = $(20,000 ÷ 52,500)
Quick Ratio = 0.38 : 1
Therefore, the quick ratio is 0.38, and the option is "C"
Answer:
0.38

Eka manufacturing company produces part #2206 for the aerospace industry. each unit of part #2206 is sold for $15. the unit production cost of part #2206 is $3. the fixed monthly cost of operating the production facility is $3000. how many units of part #2206 have to be sold in a month to break even?
Final answer:
Eka manufacturing company must sell 250 units of part #2206 in a month to break even, using the formula for the break-even point in units which is Fixed Costs divided by the difference between Unit Selling Price and Unit Variable Cost.
Explanation:
To calculate how many units of part #2206 need to be sold to break even, we must first understand that the break-even point occurs when the total revenue equals the total costs. Here, we have a fixed monthly cost of $3000 and a unit production cost of $3. Each unit is sold for $15.
The formula to calculate the break-even point in units is:
Break-Even Units = Fixed Costs / (Unit Selling Price - Unit Variable Cost)
Plugging in the values:
Break-Even Units = $3000 / ($15 - $3)
Break-Even Units = $3000 / $12
Break Even Units = 250
Therefore, Eka manufacturing company must sell 250 units of part #2206 to break even for the month.

The price elasticity of demand for gasoline in the short run has been estimated to be 0.4. If a war in the Middle East causes the price of oil (from which gasoline is made) to increase, how will that affect the quantity of gasoline demanded and total revenue from gasoline in the short run, all other things unchanged?
Answer:
The demand for gasoline and the total revenue from the gasoline will remain the same.
Explanation:
Price elasticity of demand can be defined as a measure of the sensitivity of the demand of a particular good or service in relation to a change in the price. In the context of the price elasticity of demand, a good can either be elastic or inelastic. A good that is inelastic is one whose price elasticity of demand is less than 1. This basically implies that the good's demand doesn't change with a corresponding change in price. On the other hand, a good that is elastic, is one whose price elasticity of demand is more than 1, which implies that the demand of the good changes with changes in price. Goods that are predominantly inelastic are needs that people cannot do without which include things like food, while elastic goods are those that are considered luxuries that people can do without especially when the price rises.
Since the price elasticity of demand for gasoline is estimated to be 0.4, which is less than 1, we can conclude that gasoline is inelastic. Meaning it's demand doesn't change with increasing prices. The demand for gasoline will remain the same even with increase in the price of oil. The total revenue from gasoline will also remain the same since even though the availability of gasoline is reduced, the sellers will adjust for this reduction in the price.

Don was driving his truck when a board fell out of the truck bed and onto the road. Alice, who was driving closely behind Don's truck, tried to avoid the board, swerved, and struck a telephone pole, causing her severe injuries. Which of the following is correct?
A. In a comparative negligence state, the actions of Don and Alice will be weighed to determine liability.
B. Don was not negligent in allowing the board to fall out of his truck.
C. Don is strictly liable to Alice for her injuries.
D. Don is engaging in ultrahazardous activity.
Answer:
A. In a comparative negligence state, the actions of Don and Alice will be weighed to determine liability.
Explanation:
Comparative negligence is a way to weigh the negligence of the parties involved in a dispute.
In this case Don could be said to be negligent by not securing the boards properly in his truck, resulting in them falling off.
On the other hand Alice should have not been driving very closely to Don's truck.
So the actions of Don and Alice will be weighed to determine liability.
Final answer:
The correct answer is A, wherein a comparative negligence state, both Don's and Alice's actions will be considered to determine liability for the accident, weighing the negligence on both sides.
Explanation:
The correct answer to the question is A. In a comparative negligence state, the actions of Don and Alice will be weighed to determine liability. Comparative negligence is a legal principle where the actions of each party are weighed to determine the percentage of fault and, consequently, liability. Don's action of losing the board from his truck could be considered negligence if he did not secure the load properly. On the other hand, Alice's reaction to swerve could also contribute to the accident if it is deemed an overreaction or unsafe maneuver in the given circumstances.
Option B, stating that Don was not negligent, cannot be determined without more facts. Option C, which suggests Don is strictly liable, is incorrect since strict liability usually applies to inherently dangerous activities, which is not the case here. Option D, suggesting Don is engaging in ultrahazardous activity, is also incorrect as transporting items in a truck is not considered to be an inherently dangerous or ultrahazardous activity that would automatically make him liable irrespective of negligence.
When considering the given scenarios, it is clear that the primary concern is to understand the concept of comparative negligence and how it applies to the given situation, rather than to determine strict liability or ultrahazardous activity.
