Answer: $1147.50
Explanation:
Monthly apartment fee = $850
Broker's charge = 20% of first month fee
Security deposit = 1.5 months rent
Therefore,
Broker's fee = 20% × $850
= 0.2 × $850 = $170
Security deposit = 1.5 × $850 =$1275
Total fee = $850 + $1275 + $170 = $2295
Since Chrissy and Janet are sharing the fee equally:
Janet's share :
50% of $2295 = $1147.50
Prior to being banned in 2002 by the McCain-Feingold Act, unlimited monetary contributions that were earmarked for party-building expenses at the grassroots level or for generic party advertising were known as....
A) matching funds
B) soft money
C) hard money
D) support funds
Answer:
B.
Explanation:

Pearl Windows manufactures and sells custom storm windows for three-season porches. Pearl also provides installation service for the windows. The installation process does not involve changes in the windows, so this service can be performed by other vendors. Pearl enters into the following contract on July 1, 2017, with a local homeowner. The customer purchases windows for a price of $2,440 and chooses Pearl to do the installation. Pearl charges the same price for the windows irrespective of whether it does the installation or not. The installation service is estimated to have a standalone selling price of $630. The customer pays Pearl $2,040 (which equals the standalone selling price of the windows, which have a cost of $1,130) upon delivery and the remaining balance upon installation of the windows. The windows are delivered on September 1, 2017, Pearl completes installation on October 15, 2017, and the customer pays the balance due.
Given uncertainty of finding skilled labor, Pearl is unable to develop a reliable estimate for the standalone selling price of the installation.

Even when economic indicators show that the economy is down, small businesses often thrive. Think of a small business in your community that would do well, even if people did not have a lot of extra money to spend, and explain the advantages it has over larger businesses.
Answer:
A drug store is a type of business that is likely to do well even in an economic recession.
This is because drug stores sell an essential good, that often has a high price, and that is needed by many people, specially those who suffer from chronic diseases.
In other words, people will likely reduce their consumption of many other goods before reducing their consumption of prescription drugs.
Suppose that the wage is $20 per hour in a two-sector (manufacturing and agriculture) specific-factors model. Currently, the prices of manufactured and agricultural outputs are $5 and $1, respectively; the marginal product of labor in the manufactured sector is 6 units per hour; and the marginal product of labor in the agricultural sector is 10 units per hour. What will happen to the distribution of labor between the two sectors?
Options :
A) Nothing will happen. The current allocation of labor between the two sectors is ideal.
B) The manufacturing sector will demand more labor, and the agricultural sector will demand less labor at the current wage.
C) The agricultural sector will demand more labor, and the manufacturing sector will demand less labor at the current wage.
D) Both the agricultural and the manufacturing sector will demand more labor at the current wage.
Answer: B) The manufacturing sector will demand more labor, and the agricultural sector will demand less labor at the current wage.
Explanation: Analysing the marginal product of labor for the TWO sectors ; the manufacturing and agricultural which measures the change in production output as labor is increased. The output produced by increasing labor is 6units for manufacturing and 10 units for agricultural, agricultural seems greater, however, comparing output with the price per unit of product, manufacturing and agricultural sells for $5 and $1 respectively. Meaning manufacturing generates ($5 * 6) = $30 while agricultural generates ($1 * 10)) $10 per increase in number of Labor.
Therefore, at the current wage of $20, revenue made by hiring one more unit of labor into the agricultural sector cannot even cater for it's wage. Therefore, agricultural sector will demand less while manufacturing will demand more.

In the orientation session, what new employees are most likely to be briefed or talked to about is the organizational structure, company policies and rules and compensation and reward system. In human resources management, it is important to get new employees acquainted with the essential informations, rules, regulations, and guidelines that exist in an organization.
Hence, daily and weekly task is least likely to be addressed during Shelley's orientation program because she's not likely to commence her duties on the first day and her responsibilities or roles would be introduced to her by her functional or line manager.
Soft and Silky, Inc. manufactures bedding sets. The budgeted production is for 53,000 comforters in 2017. Each comforter requires 6 yards of material. The estimated January 1, 2017, beginning inventory is 31,000 yards. The desired ending balance is 30,000 yards of material. If the material costs $1.50 per yard, determine the materials budget for 2017. a.$475,500 b.$385,500 c.$478,500 d.$477,000
Answer
Material purchase budget ($)= $475,500
Explanation:
The material purchases budget is determined by adding the the closing stock of materials to the material usage budget and subtracting the opening inventory of materials.
Material purchase budget= Material usage budget + closing inventory - opening inventory
Material usage budget = Production budget × standard quantity per unit
= 53,00 × 6 yards = 318,000
Material purchase budget(quantity) = 318000 + 30,000 - 31,000 = 317,000
Material purchase budget ($) = Material purchase budget (in quantity) × standard price
= 317,000× $1.50 = $475,500
Material purchase budget ($)= $475,500

In market A, a 4% increase in price reduces quantity demanded by 2%. In market B, a 3% increase in price reduces quantity demanded by 4%. The price elasticity of demand in market A and market B are considered______ and ______, respectively. Group of answer choices
Answer:
Price elasticity of market A = Inelastic
Price elasticity of market B = Elastic
Explanation:
Elasticity in the case of market A.
Given the percentage change in demand = 2%
Percentage change in price = 4%
Elasticty of demand = %Change in demand / %change in price
= 2 / 4
= 0.5 (Inelastic)
Elasticity in the case of market B.
Given the percentage change in demand = 4%
Percentage change in price = 3%
Elasticty of demand = %Change in demand / %change in price
= 4 / 3
= 1.33 (elastic)
In its third year, a project is expected to generate earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of $283,104 and its depreciation expense is expected to be $53,228. If the company’s tax rate is 38%, what is the project’s expected operating cash flow?
Answer:
$195,751
Explanation:
Calculation for the project's expected operating cash flow
The first step will be to find the EBIT
using this formula
EBIT =(Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization -Depreciation expense)
Let plug in the formula
EBIT= 283,104 - 53,228
EBIT= 229,876
Second step is to find the NOPAT using this formula
NOPAT = EBIT(1- tax rate)
NOPAT= 229,876(1 - 0.38)
NOPAT= 142,523
Last step is to calculate for Expected Operating Cash flow
Using this formula
Operating cash flow = NOPAT + Depreciation expenses
Let plug in the formula
Operating cash flow = 142,523 + 53,228
Operating cash flow = $195,751
Therefore the project's expected operating cash flow will be $195,751

Under a just-in-time inventory system, a company can reduce the amount of working capital it needs to finance inventory, freeing capital for other uses and/or lowering the total capital requirements of the enterprise.
a) true
b) false
Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Under a just-in-time inventory system, a company can reduce the amount of working capital it needs to finance inventory, freeing capital for other uses and/or lowering the total capital requirements of the enterprise.
In Business management, Just-in-time (JIT) is an inventory management method used by a company wherein goods, products, components, and labor are made available exactly when needed or just few hours before they are needed in the production process.
Basically, It is an inventory management system that companies use to reduce wastage to the barest minimum, thereby, freeing capital for other uses and/or lowering the total capital requirements of the enterprise.
Hence, just-in-time when used judiciously can help a company reduce the amount of working capital it needs to finance inventory management.
The cost method that will yield an ending inventory that is closer to current prices is the a.FIFO inventory cost method. b.LIFO inventory cost method. c.specific identification inventory cost method. d.weighted average inventory cost method.
Answer: a.FIFO inventory cost method
Explanation: The First-In-First-Out inventory costing method involves applying the price associated with the oldest inventory purchase to goods sold. When the FIFO inventory method is used, when the number of goods purchased for the oldest inventory is exhausted, the cost of goods sold is then associated with the next oldest inventory. With these cost inventory method, the ending inventory always moves closer to the current prices of goods since the older inventory cost is applied first.
Q 7.37: Eric Hansen is a receiving clerk who has just been denied a raise. He has approached his subordinate, who is the new storeroom clerk, about diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This example of the ________, which may lead to _________.
Answer:
Human element; collusion.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Eric Hansen is a receiving clerk who has just been denied a raise. He has approached his subordinate, who is the new storeroom clerk, about diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This is an example of the human element, which may lead to collusion.
Human element can be defined as a strategic technique for improving and dealing with the way or manner employees work together in a business environment in order to achieve greater organizational performance and accomplishments. Human element can be used to improve openness, sincerity and honesty among the the very many people (employees) working individually or together as a team in an organization.
In this case, when the storeroom clerk agrees to Eric's suggestion, this would lead to both of them diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This is simply an act of collusion.
Collusion is an illegal cooperation or agreement between two or more people with an ulterior motive, for personal benefits.

B. Seller Company will receive cash $56,154 from Ace
C. Ace will receive $57,300 cash from Seller Company
D. Seller Company will receive $57,300 cash from Ace
E. Ace will pay Seller Company a $1,146 credit card fee
Answer:
The question is incomplete, below is a possible match of the complete question:
Ace Credit Card Company agrees to transfer cash to Seller Company immediately upon deposit of that company's credit card sales receipts. Ace charges a 2% fee for all credit card sales. If Seller Company deposits $57,300 credit card sales receipts, which of the following statements are true?
A. Ace will receive $56,154 cash from Seller Company
B. Seller Company will receive cash $56,154 from Ace
C. Ace will receive $57,300 cash from Seller Company
D. Seller Company will receive $57,300 cash from Ace
E. Ace will pay Seller Company a $1,146 credit card fee
The correct answer is:
Seller Company will receive cash $56,154 from Ace (B)
Explanation:
Since Ace charges a 2% fee for all credit card sales, for a deposit of $57,300 by Seller company, the 2% service charge will be deducted, and to find how much cash seller company will receive, we will calculate the balance on the deposited amount after the 2% fee has been deducted. This is done as follows.
2% of $57,300 = 2/100 × 57,300
= 0.02 × 57,300 = $1,146
Therefore, balance after deduction:
= 57,300 - 1,146 = $56,154
Hence, seller company will receive a cash of $56,154 from Ace for the credit card sales.

Services can be______because the real people who provide them may vary in their abilities and motivations, or even their moods, resulting in differences in perceived quality.
Answer:
Inconsistent.
Explanation:
Services can be inconsistent because the real people who provide them may vary in their abilities and motivations, or even their moods, resulting in differences in perceived quality.
In Business and customer relationship management, the consistency of a service is solely dependent on the individual saddled with the responsibility of providing the service.
For instance, if Staff X isn't happy about something or is depressed, the staff is most likely to act lukewarm or annoying towards the service takers, therefore making the service inconsistent in comparison with other staffs and days.

uncertainty avoidance (e.g., Greece, Portugal, and Uruguay) is associated with a need for structure, avoiding differences, and very formal business conduct governed by many rules, whereas a _______ uncertainty avoidance (e.g., Singapore, Jamaica, and Hong Kong) is characterized by an informal business culture, acceptance of risk, and more concern with long term strategy and performance than with daily events. A. Lower, higher B. Higher, lower C. Positive, negative D. Negative, positive
Answer:
B. Higher, lower
Explanation:
Uncertainty avoidance refers to how tolerant is the society in respect to ambiguity and unpredictable things. High uncertainty avoidance cultures don't like uncertainty and try to control this through laws and rules. Low uncertainty avoidance cultures feel comfortable with uncertainty and people tend to be tolerant to changes and have few rules.
According to that, the answer is that higher uncertainty avoidance (e.g., Greece, Portugal, and Uruguay) is associated with a need for structure, avoiding differences, and very formal business conduct governed by many rules, whereas a lower uncertainty avoidance (e.g., Singapore, Jamaica, and Hong Kong) is characterized by an informal business culture, acceptance of risk, and more concern with long term strategy and performance than with daily events.
Jerome says that he will spend exactly $25 (think sales/revenue) each month on new apps for his mobile device, regardless of the price of apps. Jerome’s demand for apps is a. Perfectly elastic. b. Unit elastic. c. Perfectly inelastic. d. Somewhat inelastic, but not perfectly inelastic.
Answer:
Option B, unit elastic.
Explanation:
The option “b” is correct because as per the expenditure method to calculate the elasticity of demand when the total expenditure (TE) remains the same regardless of the increase or decrease in the price or quantity then the elasticity is equal to one. Thus when elasticity is equal to one this is called the unit elastic demand. thus, option b is right.
Ed Stall is an investor who owns 1 share of YY industries and a put option on 1 share of YY. The exercise price of the put option is $100 and YY currently trades at $99. The option premium was $3. If the price of YY at expiration is $50, the value of Stall's position is:
Answer:
$100
Explanation:
The reason is that the minimum value that the buyer of the put option will have is its exercise price because if I have right to sell an asset with exercise price of $100 and the market value of the underlying asset goes below $100 say $90, then I will prefer exercising the option and will receive $100. But suppose if the market price of the underlying asset goes above exercise price and is say $110 then I will benefit by selling the product in the market by receiving $110 not by exercising the put option and receiving $100.
So we can see from the above scenario, the minimum price that the put option holder can get by exercising the put option is its exercise price, hence $100 is the right answer.
The costs of lead contamination have been estimated to be $1 billion for medical care of those sickened by lead, plumbing repairs, and reduced earnings of those affected by lead. This $1 billion can best be classified as:
Answer:
Social cost of market failure
Explanation:
Market failure is an economic situation in which an imperfection in the market mechanism prevents an optimal outcome.
The $1 billion cost of lead contamination intended for the medical care of those sickened by lead, plumbing repairs and reduced earnings of those affected is called social cost of market failure.
Whenever external benefits and costs exist, the market will not produce at the optimal outcome leading to social cost of market failure by an organization.
External costs are costs that are imposed without compensation on a third party.
"Closed-loop" production seeks to integrate what is presently waste back into production. In an ideal situation, the waste of one firm becomes the resource of another, and such synergies can create eco-industrial parks. This principle is often referred to as:

If a 10% decrease in the price of one product that you buy causes an 8% increase in quantity demanded of that product, will another 10% decrease in the price cause another 8% increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded?
Answer:
No
Explanation:
to determine if another 10% decrease in the price cause another 8% increase (no more and no less) in quantity demanded, we have to determine the price elasticity of demand.
Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.
Price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded / percentage change in price
8% / 10% = 0.8
