Which of the following would LEAST likely foster diversity in the workplace?

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": changing the culture through diversity training education programs.

Explanation:

Boosting diversity at the workplace is an activity that mainly relies on the representatives of the Human Resources (HR) Department. They are in charge of recruiting and selecting the applicants that will be part of the institution based on their capabilities and expertise. Thus, HR representatives could promote the selection of different individuals from different ages, races, gender, ethnicity, and nationality, without preferring one or another, so the working environment will be diversified and the company can take advantage of the different backgrounds of those new hires.

Therefore, <em>training other employees could improve the understanding of other employees on dealing with workers different than them but this does not foster diversity in the workplace.</em>

swat32

Answer:

2) an area where the firm can contribute to the green effort, as well as cut costs.

Explanation:

Banks and most private companies are continually looking for ways to reduce costs so that they can make larger profits. In this case, the bank will probably cut some costs by not using paper anymore.

The fact that it can be seen as a green effort is a plus to the cost saving. Green efforts are usually heavily publicized, even more if it's a bank. Banks usually have bad reputations so whatever makes them look good, and better if it's free (or in this case they even save money), just suits them perfectly.

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

A is correct option 15.6$

Explanation:

According to question,

Electricity purchased =12372 kwh

Cost of electricity = 7.1 cent/kwh =0.071dollar/kwh

Natural gas purchased = 3568 CCF

Cost of natural gas = 1.5 dollar/CCF

BTUs purchased per dollar

=((12372*3412)+(3568*100000))/((12372*0.071)+(3568*1.5))

=64042.8376 BTUs/ dollar

Now, cost of 1MMBTUs =1000000/64042.8376

= 15.6 dollar

The price tag on a tennis ball in 1975 read $0.10, and the price tag on a tennis ball in 2005 read $1.00. The CPI in 1975 was 52

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

a) $0.27, so tennis balls were cheaper in 1975.

Explanation:

This is a question that has to do with the time value of money & includes accounting for inflation.

Let's list out the given parameters us:

Nominal price (1975) = $0.10, CPI (1975) = 52.3, Nominal price (2005) = $1.00, CPI (2005) = 191.3

We want to know how much the tennis ball cost in 1975 dollars, hence, we make 1975 our base year. The calculation follows below:

Real price (2005) = Nominal price (2005) * CPI (1975) ÷ CPI (2005)

Real price (2005) = 1.00 * 52.3 ÷ 191.3

Real price (2005) = $0.2734

Real price (2005) = $0.27

The calculation reveals to us that a 2005 tennis ball cost $0.27 (in 1975 dollars). Which means that a tennis ball in 2005 is more costly than it did in 1975.

Hence, option A is the correct answer
