Answer:
The options for this question are the following:
A. expectancy theory
B. Theory Y
C. equity theory
D. Theory X
The correct answer is D. Theory X.
Explanation:
In theory X, managers and company administrators believe that workers only perform well under pressure or threats. Only in this way, according to Theory X, is it possible to improve labor growth and production. In the second proposal, which corresponds to Theory Y, company managers think that officials want and also need to work. These proposals corresponding to the theories "X" and "Y" were presented in the book The Human Side of Organizations (1960), by McGregor. This book was, in a way, a manifesto of the author to change and improve the treatment towards employees and modify the way in which personnel are administered. With the publication of this work began a trend of recognition and assessment of the employee in a humane and comprehensive way.
A gas company in Massachusetts charges $1.30 for 15 ft3 of natural gas (CH4) measured at 20°C and 1.0 atm. Calculate the cost of heating 200 mL of water (enough to make a cup of coffee or tea) from 20°C to 100°C. Assume that only 50 percent of the heat generated by the combustion is used to heat the water; the rest of the heat is lost to the surroundings.
Answer:
$0.0224
Explanation:
First, determine the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 450 mL water from 20°C to 100°C.
density of water = 1 g/mL
Use = AH = m(AT)Cp
AH (delta H) = amount of heat required
m = mass of water = 450 mL: (1g/mL) = 450 g
AT(delta T) = temperature difference = 100 - 20 = 80 °C
Cp = specific heat of water (from a table) = 4.18 J/g °C
So,
AH = 450 (80) (4.18) = 150 480 J = 150.48 kJ
Second, determine the heat ACTUALLY required
Since 50 % of heat produced (from combustion of methane) are used for water,
heat ACTUALLY required = 2 x 150.48 kJ = 300.96 kJ
Third, determine the amount of methane in the supply (in mole)
Assume ideal gas,
PV = nRT
P = 1.0 atm
V = 17 ft3 = 481.38 L
T = 20 + 273 = 293 K
R = 0.082 1 L atm K−1 mol−1
n = PV/RT
so,
n = (1 x 481.38)/(293 x 0.0821) = 20.011 mol
Interpretation: 17 ft3 of methane supplied is equivalent to 20.011 mol methane (17 ft3/20.011 mol)
Fourth, determine the heat produced from combustion of methane
The combustion of methane gas is represented by the reaction:
CH4 (g) + 2 O2 (g) CO2 (g) + 2 H2O (g)
heat of combustion =
[heat of formation of CO2 (g) + 2 x heat of formation of H2O (g)] -
[heat of formation of CH4 (g) + 2 x heat of formation of O2 (g)]
From the standard table:
= [ -393.5 kJ + 2x(-241.8 kJ)] - [-74.8 kJ + 2x(0 kJ)]
= - 802.3 kJ
Interpretation: The combustion of 1 mole of methane produces 802.3 kJ, otherwise known as molar enthalpy (-802.3 kJ/mol)
Fifth, determine the amount of methane required from energy requirement for heating water
heat required = 300.96 kJ
So,
methane required = 300.96 kJ (1mol/ 802.3 kJ) = 0.3751 mol
Sixth, determine the volume of methane required
Volume methane required = 0.3751 mol (17 ft3/20.011 mol)
= 0.3186 ft3
Finally, the cost required at price rate $1.20/17 ft3
Cost of methane = 0.3186 ft3 ($1.20/17 ft3) =
$0.0224
If the expected path of 1-year interest rates over the next five years is 2 percent, 4 percent, 1 percent, 4 percent, and 3 percent, the expectations theory predicts that the bond with the lowest interest rate today is the one with a maturity of:_______.a. one year.
b. two years.
c. three years.
d. four years.
Answer:
.a. one year.
Explanation:
Expectation theory believes that the longer the maturity rate of a bond is the more interest it will generate, yet investing in two 1 year bonds may earn the same interest as one 2 year bond. Therefore in this scenario the bond with the lowest interest rate today is the one with a maturity of one year, due to it being the shortest bond to reach maturity.

A 37-year old individual purchases a life insurance policy of $95,000 for an annual payment of $250. based on a insurance report, the probability that an individual is in a life threatening accident this year and survives is 0.999063. find the expected value of the policy for the insurance compan
Answer:Expected value = - 94661.45
Explanation:
The Policy pay out is $95000 ,if a client is in life threatening accident insurance company will loose $95000, if the client is not in a life threatening accident the insurance company will gain $250
Probability (Client is in a threatening accident) = 0.999063
Probability (not in a life threatening accident)= 1 - 0.999063 = 0000937
Insurance Premium = $250
Insurance Payout = $95000
expected value = 0.999063 x (- (95000 - 250)) + 0.000937 x (250)
expected value = 0.999063 x (-94750) + 0.000937 x (250)
expected value = - 94661.21925 + 0.23425 = - 94661.44675
expected value = - 94661.45
Answer:
$160.75
Explanation:
the expected value of the policy will = (premium x probability of surviving) - (policy benefits x probability of dying)
the probability of surviving = 0.999063
the probability of dying = 0.000937
policy's expected value = ($250 x 0.999063) - ($95,000 x 0.000937) = $249.77 - $89.02 = $160.75
A website that sells wedding dresses targets ads to (1) women (2) ages 22 to 35 (3) actively searching for a wedding dress (4) with an interest in fashion (5) in the top 10% of income (6) within the greater Denver area. What is the major downside of this targeting?
Answer:
The answer is within the greater Denver area
Explanation:
The greater Denver area is just a medium to low populated region, this region is just developing, the audience to receive this ads will be so small and not likely to generate a large volume.
Answer:
You have placed so many filters that the possible audience is really going to be very small (in internet terms), so the ad will probably generate a low volume of leads.
If you want to generate a larger number of leads you should broaden your target audience, e.g. living in Colorado, no age requirement, no interest in fashion and not in the top 10% of income.
Assume that a one-year CD purchased for $1000 pays an APR of 10% that is compounded semi-annually. How much is in the account at the end of each compounding period? (Calculate the interest and compound it each period rather than using the compound interest formula. Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
Answer:
At the end of the first compounding period: $1,050.00At the end of the second compounding period: $1,102.50
Explanation:
1. First period:
Investment: $1,000 APR = 10% = 0.1 compounded semi-annually. Semi-annually compound interest: 0.1 / 2 = 0.05Interest earned at the end of the first period: $1,000 × 0.05 = $50.00Amount in the accoun at the end of the first period:$1,000.00 + $50.00 = $1,050.00
2. Second period
Amount in the account beginning the second period: $1,050.00Semi-annually compound interest: 0.1 / 2 = 0.05Interest earned in the second period:$1,050.00 × 0.05 = $50.00 = $52.50
Amount in the account at the end of the second period:$1,050.00 + $52.50 = $1,102.50
For a one-year CD with an APR of 10%, compounded semi-annually, the balance in the account at the end of each compounding period is calculated by dividing the APR by 2 (to get the interest rate per compounding period), then applying this rate to the principal (and any previously accrued interest) at each period. The total balance at the end of the year is $1102.50
Explanation:
The question is asking about the interest accrued from a one-year CD with an APR of 10%, compounded semi-annually. The first step is to divide the APR by the number of compounding periods, which in this case is 2, giving a rate per period of 5%. Then we calculate the interest for each period.
For the first period, the calculation is $1000 x 0.05 = $50, thus the total balance after the first period (6 months) is $1050. The second period calculates the interest on this new balance. So for the second period, the calculation is $1050 x 0.05 = $52.50. Therefore, at the end of the year, the balance in the account is $1050 + $52.50 = $1102.50.

Final answer:
The amount of joint costs allocated to product X using the net realizable value method is $71,874.
Explanation:
The amount of joint costs allocated to product X using the net realizable value method can be calculated as follows:
Calculate the net realizable value (NRV) for each product by subtracting the additional costs from the sales value if processed further.Calculate the total NRV for all three products (X, Y, and Z).Allocate the joint costs to each product based on their proportion of the total NRV.
For product X, the NRV is $80,000 - $1,200 = $78,800. The total NRV for all three products is $78,800 + $39,000 + $14,500 = $132,300.
Therefore, the amount of joint costs allocated to product X is ($78,800 / $132,300) * $120,000 = $71,874.44 (rounded to the nearest whole dollar).
A conservative investor has a portfolio that consists of diversified investments in equity securities, debt securities, and money market instruments. The investor is mildly concerned about a downturn in the stock market. If this investor were seeking to further diversify, which of the following would be the BEST recommendation?
[A] A Balanced Fund
[B] Real Estate-Related Investments
[C] A Hedge Fund
[D] Speculation in Equity Options
Answer:
Real Estate-Related Investments.
Explanation:
Real estate related investments involves the purchase, management, renting and sale of real estate properties with the aim of making profit.
Real estate investment is capital intensive and has low liquidity compared to other forms of investment.
This will be a good option for the conservative investor because real estate investment is stable and not prone to huge losses that can be incurred in the money markets. Also real estate is not affected by equities market. So will be a safety net in case of failure in the equity market.

When an economy is experiencing an economic boom and operating beyond its long-run capacity, Group of answer choices strong demand for investment funds will push interest rates upward. weak demand for resources will push the prices of resources downward. weak demand for investment funds will cause the real interest rate to decline. the unemployment rate will be greater than its natural rate.
Answer:
strong demand for investment funds will push interest rates upward.
Explanation:
Since the economy is booming, the demand for investment funds will be very large, even if the economy is not operating beyond its long run capacity. Just the mere fact that the economy is growing will result in an increase in the demand for money, and the price of money is interest. If the quantity demanded increases, then the price of money (interest rates) will also increase. This affects both the demand for investment funds and credit for consumption.
On the other hand, if the economy is declining, the demand for money decreases, resulting in lower interest rates.

This good becomes a medium of exchange and a unit of account
Explanation:
Money is also characterised by the three features or services it offers. Money serves as an exchange tool, a value store, and a deposit unit.
As a mode of trade for promoting trades, Money's most important function. Both trades, without capital, will need to be carried out with a barter that involves trading one good or another directly. The dilemma with a barter scheme is to provide a product or service of equivalent value, as the seller always desires, in order to receive the same good or service from a manufacturer.
Money also serves as a transaction unit to calculate the worth of the exchangeable products and services. In order to be able to determine the worth or quality of the product, both the manufacturer and the customer should agree the quantity to be supplied and the quantity of the good to be ordered.
If a monopolist produces 100 units of output at a market price of $5 per unit with marginal revenue per unit equaling $4, we would expect that if the monopolist's good was provided under pure competition, quantity would be: (Points : 1)
a.Higher than 100 units, price lower than $5, and MR = price
b.Lower than 100 units, price greater than $5, and MR = price
c.Higher than 100 units, price greater than $5, and MR = price
d.Lower than 100 units, price lower than $5, and MR = price
Answer: a. Higher than 100 units , price lower than $5 and Mr = price
Explanation:
Firms competing in perfect market conditions are Price Takers, the produce quantity at the level where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal cost. Since firms are price takers their Marginal Revenue is the Market Price P. They can only increase quantity if they want to earn more profit, Therefore Price = Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost.
The Quantity will increase and the price will be lower than $5. Price = Marginal Revenue = Marginal cost. The Price will be $4
Final answer:
Under pure competition, the output would be higher than the monopolistic 100 units, the price would be lower than $5, and marginal revenue would equal the market price.
Explanation:
If a monopolist produces 100 units of output at a market price of $5 per unit with marginal revenue per unit equaling $4, we would expect that if the monopolist's good was provided under pure competition, quantity would be higher than 100 units, price lower than $5, and MR equal to price. This scenario corresponds to option (a): Higher than 100 units, price lower than $5, and MR = price. The reason for this is that under pure competition, firms cannot influence the market price by altering their output level; hence, the market price equals the marginal revenue (MR = P), and the quantity produced would be at the point where this price intersects the marginal cost (MC), which typically allows for a greater quantity than a monopolist would produce.
What is the minimum annual cash flow required to accept the project?
Explanation:
The minimum cash flow:
"To accept the project , Present value of future cash flows , must be equal to Initial Investment , so that "net present value" of project is equal to zero".
The company will likely to get increase and will be profitable if the NPV that is "Net present value" is "greater than zero".
NPV rule states that, a company manager or an "investor can invest" the money in a project where the "net present value" is greater than zero. It is not recommended to invest in a project where the "net present value" stands negative.
________ refers to how people make decisions in a lottery or with uncertainty. People do not generally make expected value decisions. They tend to overweight unlikely outcomes and underweight more likely events.a. Heuristicsb. Rational decision makingc. Prospect theory
Answer:
The correct answer is c. Prospect theory.
Explanation:
Prospective theory belongs to behavioral economics and stands out as an alternative model to the expected utility theory, since the validity of the rational agent's neoclassical assumption is questioned. This theory was developed by Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman and his collaborator Amos Tversky in his »Prospect Theory: An Analysis of Decision under Risk” (1979). They used the results obtained from both his own empirical observations, as of several experiments.
Individuals set preferences based on a specific situation and circumstances, rather than in absolute terms. This means that depending on their initial situation, agents will act in one way or another. One of the results of this reasoning leads to behavioral asymmetries between situations of possible losses or gains. Individuals, for example, are generally more risk averse than profit lovers. An endowment effect is also derived from this analysis, since the compensation required by someone to dispose of a good is greater than what they would be willing to pay to acquire it.

Pepsi True is a new cola from Pepsi-Cola that is sweetened with a combination of sugar and stevia leaf extract, resulting in a soft drink with the same flavor of Pepsi but only 60 calories. A potential showstopper for this product is likely to be
Answer:
mid-calorie soft drinks such as Pepsi Next (2012) have not been successful in the past.
Explanation:
The new Pespsi true is a great product that offers the advantage of having the same flavor as Pepsi but lower calorie content of only 60 calories. This should sell well with consumers that are looking for lower calorie options.
However if there was a similar product like Pepsi True called Pepsi Next in 2012 that was mid-calories and was not successful, this could be a show stopper. People's perceptions of Pepsi Next will affect Pepsi True as they will feel it is just a repackaged Pepsi Next.
This will most likely lead to failure of the product similar to what happened with Pepsi Next.
A potential showstopper for Pepsi True is the bitter or licorice-like aftertaste of stevia when used in high concentrations. Some consumers might prefer the taste of regular Pepsi sweetened with sugar, and there may be skepticism about the safety of artificial sweeteners.
Explanation:A potential showstopper for Pepsi True is likely to be the bitter or licorice-like aftertaste of stevia when used in high concentrations. Stevia, a sweetener derived from the leaves of the stevia plant, has a slower onset and longer duration of taste compared to sugar. Some people may find this aftertaste unpleasant, which could be a potential drawback for the product. Additionally, although Pepsi True has only 60 calories, some consumers might prefer the taste of regular Pepsi sweetened with sugar. While the combination of sugar and stevia leaf extract provides the flavor of Pepsi, it may not be identical to the original taste due to the differences in sweetness profiles of these two sweeteners.
Lastly, some consumers may be skeptical about the safety of artificial sweeteners like stevia. While steviol glycosides in stevia are generally recognized as safe and have been approved for use by regulatory bodies, individual perceptions and concerns about artificial sweeteners can impact the acceptance and success of products like Pepsi True.

Assume Karen is 12 years old and her only income is $2,500 of interest income from a bank account with money her parents have given her to save for college. What are the options Karen has for filing her tax return?
Answer:
Since Karen is a minor, she can receive up to $950 in unearned income per year without paying taxes or having to file a tax return.
Since she receives a larger amount $2,500 - $950 = $1,550, she must pay taxes for the extra amount depending on which type of account her parents opened for her.
Karen's parents probably opened a 529 Education Savings Plan, and if that is the case, she doesn't need to pay any federal taxes. If Karen's parents opened her a custodial account, then she will have to pay taxes for the $1,550 above the $950 threshold. Minors are responsible for filing their own taxes or their parents can file taxes for them. If either Karen or her parents pay taxes, they should pay = $1,550 x 10% = $155heather's clarification of the task andrea is presenting to the group reflects which of the steps from the rational decision-making model in exhibit 6-3 loading...?

b. identify the decision criteria
c. select the best alternative
d. develop the alternatives
e. define the problem
Final answer:
Heather's clarification closely corresponds with 'b. identify the decision criteria' in the rational decision-making model. Her actions involve an evaluation process to assess various options before refining the decision, indicating meticulous assessment and improvement of solutions.
Explanation:
Heather's clarification in Andrea's presentation to the group seems to be part of the rational decision-making model where various alternatives are evaluated based on specific criteria to determine which option best solves the problem at hand. The step that most closely reflects Heather's actions from the options provided would be 'b. identify the decision criteria.' This aligns with the model's sequence of defining the problem, identifying decision criteria, developing alternatives, evaluating the alternatives, and finally, selecting the best alternative for implementation.
Heather's thorough evaluation process of the possible ideas to determine the most suitable solution embodies the step within the rational decision-making model where emphasis is placed upon the meticulous assessment of each alternative. Then, refinement of the selection, as mentioned in the given material, would likely come after the evaluation of alternatives, showing how potential solutions are adjusted and improved upon to better meet the requirements and constraints before reaching a final decision.
In the United States, ownership of intellectual property rights is established by "prior use versus registration" which implies that to claim the ownership of a trademark, an individual mustA. be recognized by the United Nations trademark protection agency. B. pay for the right to own a trademark. C. establish first use of a trademark. D. prove the ownership of a trademark in a court of law. E. register a trademark only in his home country.
Answer:
D. prove the ownership of a trademark in a court of law
Explanation:
The intellectual property laws in the united states is under the Federal laws and are directly followed by the constitution for the copywriter and the patents and only the federal govt has the power to make laws and the ability to regulate commerce.The correct option is C: establish first use of a trademark. In the United States, to claim ownership of a trademark, an individual must establish first use of the trademark in commerce.
In the United States, ownership of intellectual property rights related to trademarks is established primarily by proving first use, which means that an individual must establish first use of a trademark to claim ownership, according to the principle of 'prior use versus registration.' This is different from paying for the right or registering solely in one's home country. Establishing first use means that the trademark must be used in commerce and be recognizable by consumers as indicating the source of the goods or services.
Here's why this is the correct answer:
Prior Use: Trademark rights in the United States are primarily based on prior commercial use of the mark. This means the first entity to use a trademark in commerce generally has superior rights over others who may attempt to use or register a similar mark later.Registration: While registration of a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) provides important benefits and protections, it is not the sole determinant of ownership. Registration enhances legal protections and provides a legal presumption of ownership and exclusive rights, but it's not the only way to establish rights.Options Not Related to Prior Use:
Option A (be recognized by the United Nations trademark protection agency) is incorrect because there is no such specific agency; trademark rights are typically enforced nationally or regionally.Option B (pay for the right to own a trademark) is incorrect because payment alone does not confer ownership; it's about use and/or registration.Option D (prove the ownership of a trademark in a court of law) is incorrect because while litigation may be necessary to enforce rights, ownership is established by use.Option E (register a trademark only in his home country) is incorrect because trademark rights must be protected where the mark is used in commerce, which may include multiple countries depending on business activities.The complete question is:
In the United States, ownership of intellectual property rights is established by "prior use versus registration" which implies that to claim the ownership of a trademark, an individual must
A. be recognized by the United Nations trademark protection agency.
B. pay for the right to own a trademark.

A married couple living together own a small farm. They grow several crops, producing most of the food they consume and selling the excess for cash. With the increase in corn prices due to the rising demand for ethanol, they decide to stop producing vegetables and potatoes, and, instead, devote that land to growing more corn for sale. They use part of the additional cash they earn from greater corn production to buy vegetables and potatoes at the grocery. What effect does this have on GDP?
Answer:
The GDP will increase.
Explanation:
In this scenario, the GDP will increase based on two different effects. The first one is that the GDP will increase as a result of the married couple buying their vegetables at market prices instead of consuming what they normally produce in the household which is not accounted for in the GDP analysis.
The second reason for the increase in GDP is the sale of growing MORE corn and selling at Market price as against what they normally use the small farm for which was growing various crops for their own consumption and only selling the excess which only contributed little to GDP relatively.
