Answer:the precognitive fallacy

Explanation:Precognition is also referred to as future vision in which an individual may claim to have seen the event of the future , mostly these are people who say they have psychic ability.

This kind of prediction isn't based on any scientific evidence.

Historically , people have always believed in precognition but scientists believe it actual goes against the principle of causality which state that for an effect to happen there must be a cause first.

Last year, Kaylor Equipment had $15,900 of sales, $500 of net new equity, dividend payments of $75, an addition to retained earn
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

$1,135.05

Explanation:

Given:

Sales = $15,900

Net new equity = $500

Dividend payments = $75

Retained earnings = $418

Depreciation = $680

Interest expense = $511

Tax rate = 21% = 0.21

Now,

Net income = Retained earnings + Dividend payments

= $418 + $75

= $493

Profit before tax = Net income ÷ ( 1 - tax rate )

= $493 ÷ ( 1 - 0.21 )

= $624.05

Therefore,

Earnings before interest and taxes

= Profit before tax + Interest expense

= $624.05 + $511

= $1,135.05

Listen to the NPR news piece about Rachel Carson, the author of A Fable for Tomorrow. You will note that the radio article menti
gavmur [86]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Rachel Carson received numerous attacks by agricultural and chemical industries due to the book she wrote called -Silent Spring', where she explained the repercussions to the atmosphere and that of human health in the using pesticides.

She has been tagged as a radical and unqualified scientist whose knowledge about science is limited. She was also accused of wanting to protect the lives of all the insects that spread diseases in humans and plants.

However, if we read concerning whom Rachel Carson was and what she stood for, we’ll notice that the arguments in various quarters are completely misguided.

She was an exceptional scientist and a writer on science topics, she investigated and cautioned on how the chemicals that government spread in the farms to kill pathogens insects, are also dangerous to all living things including humans.

Some of the chemical industry representatives even in this present time still do not concur with her; they are only concerned how to produce and sell more chemicals and they don’t even worry about their environmental consequences and damage. This is reason they prefer to berate her work and researches.

What are the managerial implications of a borderless organization?
Andrews [41]
<span>In my opinion, the managerial implications of a borderless organization could be a language barrier: complete from a different spoken language to even just day to day colloquial words or phrases. Another could be different labor laws in different countries. Another big one is the fact that different time zones could come into play and if improperly accounted for or organized with, this could really turn business upside down.</span>

Faux Trees Company produces artificial Christmas trees. A local shopping mall recently made a special order offer; the shopping
Arlecino [84]

Answer: $‭16,925.9‬0 increase

Explanation:

Company already has the excess capacity to handle this order so the fixed costs will not be included as they would have already been incurred.

Cost of manufacturing the trees would be:

= Variable cost + Fixed cost

= ((51.61 + 3.80 + 1.00 + 8.26 for white tree) * 230 trees) + 5,000 for molds

= (64.67 * 230) + 5,000

= $‭19,874.1‬0

Incremental revenue = 230 trees * 160

= $36,800

Incremental operating income = 36,800 - ‭19,874.1‬

= $‭16,925.9‬0 increase
