Answer:

Choice 1 is more profitable.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Choice 1:

You receive $100 starting today once a year every year for the rest of eternity.

Choice 2:

You receive $200 today and then $50 once a year starting next year for all of eternity.

<u>I will assume an interest rate of 8%</u>

The first option and second option are a perpetual annuity. To calculate the present value, we need to use the following formula:

Choice 1:

PV= Cf/i

Cf= 100

i=0.08

PV= 100/0.08= $1,250

Choice 2:

PV= 50 + 50/0.08= $825

Choice 1 is more profitable.

maria [59]

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.

The goal “to sell a combination of six refrigerators, stoves or dishwashers to earn a bonus” is specific, measurable, attainable and realistic because Michelle has done this before. Yet the goal is not time-bound. The length of time it is required to meet is not specified in the goal.

Merle Corporation applies manufacturing overhead to products on the basis of standard machine-hours. For the most recent month,
bixtya [17]

Answer: $721 Unfavorable

Explanation:

The following can be deduced from the question:

Actual hours = 3690 hours

Standard hours = 3620 hours

Standard rate per hour = ($14000 + $27200) / 4000

= $41200 / 4000

= $10.30 per hour

Therefore, the overall variable overhead efficiency variance for the month is calculated as:

= (Actual Hours - Standard Hours) × Standard rate per hour

= (3690 - 3620) × $10.30

= 70 × $10.30

= $721 Unfavorable
