Answer: His district manager may be influenced by <u><em>availability bias. </em></u>
Explanation:
Availability bias may influence his manager because the district manager has this information in his recent memory. He may consider this to be an accurate description of Otis's behavior all of the time, and not just in recent times. Since everything has occurred since the last evaluation he may be judged solely on these actions and not of his overall actions and work ethic in the past.
There are several ways to avoid availability bias such as:
- Set high standards
- Build a diverse team
- Utilize your network
- Seek input from your team
Answer:
B. The economy would have enjoyed a much higher level of output in the mid-2000s.
Explanation:
This choice is based on the theory of production capacity, which tries to explain that industrial capacity of companies increases with increased supply of production resources. Capital is one of the production resources which is increased with increased supply of US dollars. Increased money supply increases the capital which banks can lend out to companies to increase their production capacity.
On the other hand, where this to be based on the theory of inflation, a different answer would have been produced. The theory of inflation recognizes that the average inflation rate increases proportionately to a percentage increase in money supply, among other factors that influence inflation rates.
That the price level in 2005 would have been about 28 percent higher than what it actually reached in that year is highly speculative. And D is certainly not the correct option, because the economy's output is increased with increased production capacity caused by increased money supply.
Answer:
The asset’s anticipated percentage rate of return is 5%
Explanation:
Rate of return is the annual return that an investor earns on an Initial investment in an asset.
RatReturn on Asset = Expected selling price - Initial Purchase price
Return on Asset = $1,050 - $1,000
Return on Asset = $50
Rate of return = Return on Asset / Initial Purchase price = $50 / $1,000 = 0.05 = 5%
Answer:
$150,150
Explanation:
Total fair value of all assets:
= Land + Building + Paddleboats
= $67,200 + $158,400 + $254,400
= $480,000
Building accounted for:
= Fair value of building ÷ Total fair value
= $158,400 ÷ $480,000
= 33%
Therefore, the building is 33% of the total fair value of assets.
Cost of acquisition of assets:
= Amount paid + Closing cost to buy out a competitor
= 450,000 + 5,000
= $455,000
Cost to be allocated to the building:
= Cost of acquisition of assets × Percent share in total fair value
= $455,000 × 33%
= $150,150
