Answer:

at the very least, understand the basics of the sport in question

Explanation:

A publicist is an individual who generates and manages publicity for a company, a brand, or a public figure. If the publicist works for a sports company/magazine they need to, at the very least, understand the basics of the sport in question such as the rules, basic terminology used, player names/states, etc. This is because they need to write articles that make sense, and since the audience reading them will be very well versed in the sport, then the information provided needs to be accurate.

Panamint Systems Corporation is estimating activity costs associated with producing disk drives, tapes drives, and wire drives.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

d.$181.78

Explanation:

The formula used for activity rate is activity cost divided by the activity base cost.

Panamint Systems Corporation

Activity Cost Activity Base

Procurement $308,500 Number of purchase orders

Scheduling $244,500 Number of production orders

Materials handling $419,700 Number of moves

Product development $720,200 Number of engineering changes

Production $1,538,300 Machine hours

Disk drives Tape drives Wire drives

Number of Purchase Orders 4,080 2,300 11,300

Number of Production Orders 450 155 740

Number of Moves 1,320 520 4300

Number of Engineering Changes 11 4 23

Machine Hours 2,400 8,200 10,600

Number of Units 1600 4,400 2,500

As there are three kinds of drives the total activity base cost is obtained by adding the base cost of each drive.

Scheduling per production= Scheduling Cost/ Number of production orders

=$244,500 / 450+ 155 +740

= $244,500 / 1345= 181.78

If a cable news channel decides to report on a senator's financial indiscretions rather than report on a piece of congressional

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

e. Agenda Setting

Explanation:

Agenda setting refers to a practice adopted by news channels to place higher emphasis on a news, and making it appear important by consistently and repetitively covering such news.

Such a practice influences an individual's thoughts not with what he/she thinks, but what he/she should think about and consider important.

Through such a practice, the news channels underline the extent to which an issue is important i.e assign significance and importance to an issue by affecting the perceptive mindset of the viewer.

So if a political issue gets covered and getting telecast too frequently, it affects the viewers interpretation regarding the sensitivity or significance of the issue.

Many a times, through agenda setting, the media indirectly feeds it's own biased views in the thought process of the viewers. So rather than making the viewer think on his own and assign weight-age, the media itself assigns importance to an issue.

In the given case, the cable news channel preferred the topic of senator's financial indiscretion over a congressional legislation which wasn't passed. So the channel emphasized upon one issue which as per it was more important than the other and thus follows agenda setting.

stealth61 [152]

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

a.)

Assets Amount($) Liabilities Amount($)

Change in reserves ($500 ×12%) 60 Change in deposits 500

Change in loans ($500 - $60) 440

B) Customers can withdraw the amount of the money at any time from the bank whenever they have a need for money and at that time this is the liability of the bank to pay that amount to the customer which he wants from their savings. This is the reason that deposits are considered as liabilities for the bank. So option (b) is correct.

Whenever a company is faced with a limiting factor i.e a resource in short supply, the company should allocate the resource to the product with he highest contribution per unit of the scare resource

Product Cont/unit machine hr /unit cont/hr Ranking

classic $13 per unit 0.2 hour 65 per hour Ist

Fancy $21 per unit 0.5 hour $42 per hour 2nd

The company should use all of its limited 18,000 machine hours to produce the two products as follows:

Product units machine hr /unit Machine hours Total contribution

Classic 60,000 0.2 12,000 780,000

Fancy 12,000** 0.5 6,000 *  252,000

18,000 $ 1,032,000

Total contribution margin of the optimal mix =$ 1,032,000

* this represent balance of machine hours after 12,000 had been devoted to the production of classic

** This is quantity of Fancy that can be produced using 6000 hours

= 6000/0.5 = 12,000 units
