Answer:
These two statements are correct:
A. Potential employers may have believed that those with black-sounding names had completed less education.
African Americans on average have less rates of graduation from tertirary education than White Americans.
This situation might lead some employers to develop streotypes about African Americans being less educated, when it is clearly an error, and unfair, to reject a potential employee because of stereotyping instead of making an individualized analysis of his or her abilities.
D. Hiring firms may have believed that those with black-sounding names were more likely to have a criminal conviction.
African Americans on average are incarcerated more often than other ethnic groups in the US. The reasons for this are complex but poverty and racial discrimination are two big factors. This situation causes some employees to develop streotypes, leading to unfair situations as described in the first answer.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": an increase in the bargaining power of suppliers of a critical input.
Explanation:
Porter's Five (5) Forces is an analysis scheme created by Harvard School Professor Michael E. Porter (<em>born in 1947</em>). The ultimate goal of this analysis is to help managers set their expectations because profitability decreases as competition increases. Three of the five forces relate to industry (horizontal) participants - <em>the threat of substitutes established rivals, and new entrants</em>. The other two relate to the vertical participants - <em>the bargaining of suppliers and consumers</em>.
In the case, as airline fuel suppliers are consolidating, this would represent the bargaining of suppliers factor in Porter's theory. They could joint to decide quantities supplied or even prices.
The answer is Persuasive judgement. In this perspective, persuasive messages are thus able to activate an attitude change that can modify behaviors of consumers, voters and individuals in general. The persuasive strategies used by advertisers who want you to buy their product can be divided into three categories: pathos, logos, and ethos. Pathos: an appeal to emotion.
Answer: $107,900
Explanation:
Cumulative Preferred Shares refer to shares that a company has to pay dividends eventually. This means that if they are unable to pay for some years, they are to accrue that payment until they are able to.
There are 119000 shares of no-par 6% preferred stock with a stated value of $5.
That means preferred shares are liable to the following amount of dividends,
= 119,000 * 5 * 6%
= $35,700
Preferred Shares have not being paid for the past 2 years and need to be paid in the current year as well. That means 3 payments,
= 35,700 * 3
= $107,100
Preferred Shares are to be paid $107,100 out of the $215,000 with the rest going to common shares.
Amount going to Common Shares is,
= 215,000 - 107,100
= $107,900
Common Stockholders are to receive $107,900
Answer:
A) anchoring bias
Explanation:
Anchoring bias refers to a common mistake of relying heavily on the first information that we get, or in this case, the first information that we look for.
We all tend to suffer from anchoring bias, that is why it is one of the oldest sales techniques. Everyone has seen an ad that states a before price and a discount price. If the difference between the before price and the after price are significant, then we will consider that it is a bargain. Or a salesperson first shows us an expensive product, and then shows us a similar but lower priced product, we tend to believe the second product is cheap.
When most of us look for a job, of course we focus on the salary, since we want to work to earn money. But only focusing on the salary is seeing only half the picture, although the most important half. Other associated benefits or costs are usually not considered, e.g. a high paying job might also require dressing formally or spending a lot of time travelling.
