Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E": confusing correlation with causation.

Explanation:

Correlation refers to how two variables can be linked because of certain factors that could have influenced both of them to happen together. Causation is the correlation by which two variables are linked because one of them provoked the other. Not every correlation is causation.

In the example,<em> there is a correlation between women entering the workforce and the increase if skin cancer found between 1980 and 2010. After that, the speaker concludes that women entering the labor force causes cancer. That conclusion given as causation is setting aside a vast number of reasons why cancer has been proven to be caused that vary from genetics to certain substances abuse such as tobacco. Therefore, the speaker is confusing correlation with causat</em>

Answer:

conflict channel.

Explanation:

A manager can be defined as an individual who is saddled with the responsibility of providing guidance, support, supervision, administrative control, as well as acting as a role model or example to the employees working in an organization by being morally upright.

A sales representative (salesperson) refers to an individual or employee who is saddled with the responsibility of taking orders from customers, as well as selling finished goods and services to consumers or end users.

A conflict can be defined as any form of disagreement that arises between two or more parties due to opposing views, opinions, or incompatibility.

A conflict channel can be defined as a discord, difference, or dispute that arises between two or more channel partners, especially by competing against one another. Thus, it's a situation in which the actions or operations of one channel partner adversely affects the business, sales, revenue, profitability, goals or market share of the other channel partner.

Generally, there are four (4) main types of conflict channel and these include;

I. Horizontal level conflict.

II. Vertical level conflict.

III. Multichannel level conflict.

IV. Inter-type level conflict.

In this scenario, Barb overheard an unpleasant encounter between the manager and a sales representative over how their paint products should be displayed, the conversation degenerated into a loud argument.

Thus, what Barb observed in this scenario was an example of a conflict channel.

Answer:

a) Total book value = $85,000,000

b)Market value of debt = $27,650,000

c)After tax cost of debt = 2.74%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Debt = $50,000,000

Zero coupon bond = $35,000,000

Total book value = $50,000,000+$35,000,000

= $85,000,000

b) Market value of debt = $50,000,000×104%

=$52,000,000

Market value of zero coupon bond = $35,000,000×79%

=$27,650,000

Total market value = $52,000,000+$27,650,000

= $79,650,000

c) Market value weights for debt = 0.65

Market value weights for Zero coupon bond = 0.35

After tax cost for Debt ( By using financial calculator )

( 0.01857 ×2 × (1-24%)) = 2.82%

After tax cost for Zero coupon bond ( By using financial calculator )

( 0.01698 ×2 × (1-24%)) = 2.58%

Weighted cost for debt ( Weight × Cost )= 1.84%

Weighted cost for zero coupon bond ( Weight × Cost ) = 0.90%

After tax cost of debt = 1.84%+0.90%

=2.74%

Great Adventures Problem
andrew11 [14]

Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entry is shown below:-

Amount should be capitalized for new vehicle = Cost + Painting and new logo cost + Deluxe Roof rack and trailer hitch

= $15,600 + $6,600 + $2,900

= $25,100

We took the cost of painting and deluxe roof and trailer hitch costs into account as they are supposed to increase the vehicle's future benefits.

Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Number of Years

= ($25,100 - $6,300) ÷ 5

= $3,760 per year

In the year 2022 vehicle is used only for 6 months (July to Dec), depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 is

= $3,760 × 6 ÷ 12

= $1,880

So, the Journal entry is

Depreciation expense Dr, $1,880

         To Accumulated Depreciation $1,880

(Being depreciation provided for the year 2022 is recorded)

Therefore for recording the depreciation provided for the year 2022 we simply debited the depreciation expenses while we credited the accumulated depreciation.
