Competition within strategic group is a rivalry that takes place between business entities that produce similar product or who are within an industry,this type is more intense than between strategic groups( Organisations of different industry).

Using the Z-score formula, we find that only about 0.9% of families of four spend more than $900 per month on food when the expenditures are normally distributed with a mean of $700 and a standard deviation of $85.

To calculate the proportion of families of four that spend more than $900 per month on food, given that the mean amount spent is $700 with a standard deviation of $85 and assuming a normal distribution, we use the Z-score formula: Z = (X - \mean\)/standard deviation, where X is the expenditure we're comparing to the mean.

In this case, Z = ($900 - $700)/$85 \ 2.35. The Z-score tells us how many standard deviations a point is from the mean. Using a standard normal distribution table or calculator, we find that a Z-score of 2.35 corresponds to a percentile roughly around 99.1%. Therefore, the proportion of families spending more than $900 is approximately 1 - 0.991 = 0.009, or 0.9%.

Answer:

Y= $18,194.05

Explanation:

This is a form of annuity that involves payment of equal amounts monthly for 5 years. These amount are made up of part of the interest and part of the principal.

Using the annuity formula

P= Y{1-(1/[1+r]^n)/r}

Where P = Initial loan amount

Y = yearly payment

r= interest rate

n= number of years

75,000= Y{1-(1/[1+0.068]^5)/0.068}

75,000= Y{1-(0.719689)/0.068}= Y{0.280311/0.068}

Y= 75,000/4.122227

Y= $18,194.05

The annual loan payment will be approximately $20,165.07 when rounded to two decimal places.

To calculate the annual loan payment, we can use the formula for the present value of an annuity:

[tex]\[ PMT = \frac{P \times r}{1 - (1 + r)^{-n}} \][/tex]

Where:

- PMT is the annual loan payment,

- P is the principal amount of the loan (in this case, $75,000),

- r is the periodic interest rate (annual interest rate divided by the number of periods per year),

- n is the total number of payments (in this case, 5 years multiplied by the number of periods per year).

Given:

- P = $75,000

- Annual interest rate (r ) = 6.8% = 0.068

- Number of years (n) = 5

First, we need to convert the annual interest rate to a periodic interest rate. Since the loan is for 5 years and paid annually, there's only one payment per year, so the periodic interest rate (r) is the same as the annual interest rate.

Now, we can plug in the values:

[tex]\[ PMT = \frac{75,000 \times 0.068}{1 - (1 + 0.068)^{-5}} \]\[ PMT = \frac{75,000 \times 0.068}{1 - (1.068)^{-5}} \]\[ PMT = \frac{75,000 \times 0.068}{1 - 0.747258} \]\[ PMT = \frac{75,000 \times 0.068}{0.252742} \]\[ PMT = \frac{5100}{0.252742} \]\[ PMT ≈ 20165.07 \][/tex]

Therefore, the annual loan payment will be approximately $20,165.07 when rounded to two decimal places.

Answer:

Unitary cost= $56

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Variable manufacturing overhead $15

Direct materials $13

Direct labor $17

Fixed manufacturing overhead $12

Fixed marketing and administrative $11

Under absorption costing, the fixed overhead is allocated to the product cost:

Unitary cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead + fixed overhead

Unitary cost= 13 + 17 + 15 + 11= $56

The cost per unit for product costs under full absorption costing is $57.

The cost per unit for product costs under full absorption costing is the sum of the variable manufacturing overhead, direct materials, direct labor, and fixed manufacturing overhead costs per unit.

Add all the costs per unit: $15 + $13 + $17 + $12 = $57

Therefore, the cost per unit for product costs under full absorption costing is $57.

Answer:

Priority programming is a process programming method based on priority. In this technique, the developer chooses the tasks to work according to priority, which is different from other types of programming, for example, a simple round-robin.

On UNIX and many other systems, higher priority values represent lower priority processes. Some of the systems, such as Windows, use the opposite convention: a higher number means a higher priority

Explanation:

Priorities can be dynamic or static. Static priorities are assigned during creation, while dynamic priorities are assigned according to the behavior of the processes while they are in the system. To illustrate, the planner could favor intensive input / output (I / O) tasks, allowing expensive requests to be issued as soon as possible.

Priorities can be defined internally or externally. Internally defined priorities make use of a measurable amount to calculate the priority of a given process. On the contrary, external priorities are defined using criteria beyond the operating system (OS), which may include the importance of the process, the type and sum of the resources used for the use of the computer, user preferences , trade and other factors such as politics etc.

Hierarchical organizational structure

Explanation:

Hierarchical organizational structure is the type of organization structure where the level of management are divided according to function and services they are performing.

though, the level of management is divided into top level management (the planning executives: boards of member, executives, shareholders), middle (determined how the plan and organization goal will be implemented: managers) and lower level (implement the plan: the supervisor, foreman or shift manager), then will have the workers.

this management system involves decision and authority being transfer from level to level.

in the case: Asa is in the worker level, while her shift manager is in the lower level and general manager is in the middle level.

Answer:

A. The first scenario where all three workers spend all their time mowing lawns,

In 10 hours  = Larry mows 10 lawns, Moe mows 10 lawns, and Curly mows 20 lawns = (Total is 40 lawns mowed, and 0 cars washed)

B. The second scenario where all three workers spend all their time washing cars

In 10 hours = Larry washes 10 cars, Moe washes 20 cars, and Curly washes 10 cars = (Total is 40 cars washed, and 0 lawn mowed)

C. The third scenario where all three workers spend half their time on each activity then;

In 5 hours for mowing lawns and 5 hours for washing cars we get:

Larry mows 5 lawns and washes 5 cars

Moe mows 5 lawns and washes 10 cars

Curly mows 10 lawns and washes 5 cars

In total they mowed 20 lawns and washed 20 cars

D. The fourth scenario, Larry spends half his time on each activity, while Moe only washes  cars and Curly only mows lawns.

Larry mows 5 lawns and washes 5 cars

Mow washes 20 cars

Curly mow 20 lawns

In total, 25 lawns will be mowed and 25 cars will be washed

When this is plotted, the production frontier would produce a bow out shape, which is as a result of opportunity cost.

From the diagram, it can be clearly seen that Scenario C is inefficient because it is possible to mow more lawns and also wash more cars without actually reducing the production of others to 25 each.

Yes C is inefficient because more lawns can be mowed and more cars can be washed by simply just reallocating time of the 3 workers.

Explanation:

The query concerns economic concepts of specialization and division of labor. Here Larry, Moe, and Curly specialize in tasks where they are most productive. Their productivity dictates their involvement in the labor market, influencing their earnings and the wider economic activity.

The question about Larry, Moe, and Curly's productivity in an economy revolves around the concept of specialization and division of labor. This is a core economic concept where workers focus on performing specific tasks more efficiently than others based on their abilities. In the provided scenario, each worker is able to produce two services but at different rates - this is an example of their specialization.

The division of labor allows Larry, Moe, and Curly to choose the tasks they're most efficient at, thus maximizing their productivity within the economy. Their individual productivity levels would then determine their earning potential and standard of living. By understanding their specialist areas, they can make informed decisions about their work, becoming more involved in the labor market and potentially increasing their wages.

The circular flow diagram provides a great overview of economic activity, showing how households (like our workers) and firms interact in two key markets - labor and goods/services. In this model, our workers would be selling their labor to firms in return for wages, which they can then spend on goods and services in the marketplace.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": normative principles tell us how people should behave, and positive principles tell us how people will behave.

Explanation:

The discrepancy between the normative and positive statements in economics is substantially big. Economists use both types of statements when addressing economic issues with varying degrees of objectivity. Normative economics involves premises related to subjectivity and purpose. Positive economics, on the other hand, states facts and gives no sign of acceptance or disapproval.

"The correct answer is C. normative principles tell us how people should behave, and positive principles tell us how people will behave.

To understand the distinction between normative and positive economic principles, it is important to define each term:

 - Normative economic principles are prescriptive statements that reflect personal or societal judgments about economic outcomes or policies. They are value-laden and often begin with ""should"" or ""ought to."" These principles are concerned with what the economy should be like and involve value judgments.

 - Positive economic principles, on the other hand, are descriptive statements that can be tested and verified through empirical observation and research. They are objective in nature and describe how the economy actually works. Positive statements are factual and can be proven true or false.

 Given these definitions:

 A. normative principles are pessimistic and positive principles are optimistic. - This statement is incorrect because normative and positive principles are not characterized by optimism or pessimism. Instead, they differ in their focus on values versus facts.

 B. normative principles reflect social norms, and positive principles reflect universal truths. - This statement is partially correct in that normative principles can reflect social norms, but positive principles do not necessarily reflect universal truths. Positive principles are based on empirical evidence and can change with new evidence.

 C. normative principles tell us how people should behave, and positive principles tell us how people will behave. - This statement is correct. Normative principles are about what ought to be, prescribing how people should behave or how economies should function. Positive principles describe the actual behavior of individuals and the functioning of economies as observed and analyzed through data and evidence.

 D. normative principles tell us how people will behave, and positive principles tell us how people should behave. - This statement is incorrect because it confuses the nature of normative and positive principles. It reverses their definitions, suggesting that normative principles are predictive when they are actually prescriptive, and that positive principles are prescriptive when they are actually predictive or descriptive.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": deducted to arrive at an​ employee's net pay.

Explanation:

Federal income taxes represent the main monetary resource from where the government can fund its diverse projects. These sources are also allocated to deal with common social issues such as building highways, improving education or funding social programs such as Medicare.

When it comes to wages, the federal income taxes are deducted from the gross income of workers resulting in their net payment which is the actual amount of money employees see in their checks.

Federal income taxes are deducted from an employee's wages to arrive at their net pay, directly influencing the take-home pay but required for tax compliance.

Federal income taxes are deducted to arrive at an employee's net pay. These taxes, often referred to as withholding tax, pay-as-you-earn tax (PAYE), or pay-as-you-go tax (PAYG), are crucial deductions from an employee's wages. These deductions are meant for advance payment of income tax, social security contributions, and various insurances such as unemployment and disability. It is important to understand that these deductions significantly impact an employee's 'take-home pay' but are essential for compliance with government tax policies. Employers withhold these taxes directly from employees' wages and remit them to the government, thereby reducing the gross pay to derive the net pay that the employee receives.

Answer:

$43,600

Explanation:

The computation of the  amount of Hickory’s May expenses when applying the matching principle is shown below:

Accrual expenses = Cost of Goods Sold + Advertising expenses+ Delivery Costs + Warranty Costs

= $32,000 + $8,000 + $2,000 + $1,600

= $43,600

The purchase of inventory would not be recognized as it comes under the balance sheet. Hence, ignored it

According to the matching principle, Hickory's expenses in May will be $0. The warranty expenses accrued from the sale will start being recognized from June, not May. Hence, no warranty expense is recognized in May.

Hickory's expenses in May, according to the matching principle, will be $0. This is because the warranty expenses for the inventory sold are expected to begin in June, and are not counted in May's expenses. This principle in accounting stipulates that revenues and their associated costs should be recognized in the same financial period. The period in which Hickory will start recognizing the costs is when the expenses will start happening, which is starting June, not in May.

To illustrate, if it was expected that warranty expenses would occur over five months starting May, then for May, $1600/5 = $320 would have been recognized as warranty expenditure. However, since the warranty expenditure will only start from June, the May expense is $0.

Answer:

The correct answer for option (a) is $10,124, option (b) is $10,135 and option (c) is $10,141.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Initial amount (p) = $9,000

Annual interest rate (r1)= 4%

Semi annual interest rate (r2) = 4% / 2 = 2%

Quarterly interest rate (r3) = 4% / 4 = 1%

Time period ( annual) (n1)= 3 years = 3

Time period ( semi-annual) (n2) = 3 × 2 = 6

Time period ( quarterly) (n3) = 3 × 4 = 12

So, we can calculate future value by using following formula:

A= P ( 1 +r)^n

(a). Putting the value in the formula

A= P ( 1 +r1 )^n1

= $9,000 ( 1 + 4%)^3

= $9,000 x (1.04)^3

= $10,124

(b). Putting the value in the formula

A= P ( 1 +r2 )^n2

= $9,000 ( 1 + 2%)^6

= $9,000 x (1.02)^6

= $10,135

(c.) Putting the value in the formula

A= P ( 1 +r3 )^n3

= $9,000 ( 1 + 1%)^12

= $9,000 x (1.01)^12

= $10,141

Explanation:

English professor Graham Wallas (1858-1932) proposed a model to explain the steps the human brain follows in the creative process. Those steps are preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. In the preparation stage, individuals define a problem and its dimensions. In the next step, incubation, the problem is analyzed only internally for reflection.

Final answer:

George's 30-minute morning period for his team is geared toward enhancing the preparation and incubation stages of the creative process, by allowing them to review projects and let underlying thoughts mature. F is correct.

Explanation:

The time period set aside each morning in this context primarily helps promote the preparation and incubation stages of the creative process. The preparation stage is where individuals develop more knowledge about a task, which is exactly what George is implementing by having the team review their project list and tasks each morning. Incubation implies a period of unconscious problem solving that occurs away from active task engagement, and this method is improved through short breaks, such as the 30-minute period George has established for his team.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": There is a negative correlation.

Explanation:

In the world of Finance, Correlation is a statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each other. Correlation is represented by the correlation coefficient with ranges between (-1) and (+1). When two variables move in a similar direction, they are considered positively correlated. If the variable move in different directions they are negatively correlated.

Natalia's observation of feeling more tired with less sleep indicates a negative correlation between hours of sleep and degree of exhaustion. This relationship means that as the amount of sleep decreases, the feeling of tiredness increases.

Natalia notices that if she does not sleep a lot at night, she feels tired the next day. This observation suggests a certain type of relationship exists between hours of sleep and degree of exhaustion. To understand this, it's important to grasp the concept of correlation in the context of this scenario. In general, a negative correlation exists when one variable increases as the other decreases. In the case of sleep and exhaustion, as the number of hours of sleep decreases, the feelings of tiredness increase, indicating a negative correlation.

Referring to established research and real-world examples, such as the study by student researchers at the University of Minnesota which found a weak negative correlation between sleep duration and GPA, we can apply similar logic here. Thus, the correct answer to Natalia's observation would be b. There is a negative correlation between hours of sleep and degree of exhaustion. This means that the less Natalia sleeps, the more tired she feels the following day.
