In his 1935 book, Harold Laswell described politics as "Who Gets What When How." The American concept of pluralism, or group politics, includes all of the following except _________________.
A) placing others into decision-making positions.
B) removing inefficient or ineffective representatives.
C) casting one's ballot on Election Day.
D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.
Answer:
D) influencing decisions affecting one's life.
Explanation:
Pluralism is an American theory of governance that states that political power is controlled by several groups of people and not the citizens as a whole. These several groups of people constitute organizations, activists, environmentalists, and other impactful groups who seek recognition and acceptance from the populace and who make decisions that affect the citizens. One attribute of Pluralism is the fact that no single elite or groups of elites control decision making in governance.
The groups of people have powers that are limited in scope and regulated by competition with other groups. Moreso, these groups seek approval from the populace and that is why opinion polls, surveys, elections, etc., are carried out in order to ascertain which entities are more popular with the people.

Coastal Shores Inc. (CSI) was completely destroyed by Hurricane Fred on August 5, 2021. At January 1, CSI reported an inventory of $153,000. Sales from January 1, 2021, to August 5, 2021, totaled $432,000 and purchases totaled $175,500 during that time. CSI consistently marks up its products 60% over cost to arrive at a selling price. The estimated inventory loss due to Hurricane Fred would be:
Answer:
58,500
Explanation:
Given the information above, the formula for Inventory loss is
Inventory loss = Opening inventory + Purchases - Cost of sales
Where,
Cost of sales = $432,000 × 100 ÷ 160
=$270,000
Since opening inventory = $153,000
Purchases = $175,500
Therefore,
Inventory loss = $153,000 + $175,500 - $270,000
= $58,500

Meanwhile, the sponsor has asked to attend team meetings in order to better understand how the project is going and the issues involved in completing the project, and the customer has started discussions about adding scope to the project. In this situation, it would be BEST for the project manager to:
Answer: C. Involve the team in creating ground rules for the meetings.
Explanation:
The meetings have seemingly descended into anarchy and as such needs to be controlled in an orderly manner to make any sort of progress. One way this can be done is through the setting of ground rules. These rules need to be accepted and inclusive of people's qualms or else the arguments will continue.
When the rules are made therefore, the inputs of the entire team should be taken into consideration and this is what the Project manager needs to do. Setting all inclusive rules also helps the team understand each other better during the discussions are point of views will be seen and understood better.

What is the yield to maturity on a bond that pays annual coupon rate of 14%, has a par value of $1,000, matures in 10 years, and is selling for $911?
Answer:
Yield to Maturity =15.6%
Explanation:
The Yield to maturity is the discount rate that equates then price of the bonds to the present of cash inflows expected from the bond
The yield on the bond can be determined as follows using the formula below:
YM = C + F-P/n) ÷ 1/2 (F+P)
YM-Yield to maturity-
C- annual coupon
F- Face Value
P- Current Price
n- number of years
DATA
Coupon = coupon rate × Nominal value = 1,000 × 14%=140
Face Value = 1000
YM-?, C- 140, Face Value - 1,000, P-911 , n- 10
YM = (140 + (1000-911)/10) ÷ ( 1/2× (1000 + 911) )
YM = 0.156 × 100 = 15.6%
Yield to Maturity =15.6%
A factory costs $400,000. It will produce an inflow after operating costs of $100 000 in year 1. $ 200,000 in year 2, and $ 300,000 in year 3. The opportunity cost of capital is 12%. Calculate NPV.
Answer:
NPV = $62,258.56
Explanation:
initial outlay year 0 = $400,000
cash inflow year 1 = $100,000
cash inflow year 2 = $200,000
cash inflow year 3 = $300,000
discount rate = 12%
using a financial calculator, NPV = $62,258.56
if you do it by hand:
NPV = -$400,000 + $100,000/1.12 + $200,000/1.12² + $300,000/1.12³ = -$400,000 + $89,285.71 + $159,438.78 + $213,534.07 = $62,258.56
An investor holds a 10 year bond pays a coupon rate of 9%. The yeid to maturity of the bond is 10% . The bond is trading:
Answer:
the bond is trading at a discount
Explanation:
There is an inverse relationship between the yield and the price of the bond.
As the yield goes up, the price of the bond goes down and as the yield goes down, the price of the bond goes up.
The yield - 10%, is greater than the coupon rate - 9%, the price will be less than the par value, and we say that the bond is trading at a discount.

A NASDAQ security is bid at $30.25 and offered at $30.75. An over-the-counter trader effects a trade at $30.75 and charges a commission of $.50 to the customer. The price that will show on the tape is:
Answer:
$30.75
Explanation:
Given that
Security bidding = $30.25
Offered price = $30.75
over the counter trading = $30.75
Commission charged = $0.50
based on the above information, the price that shows on the tape is equivalent to the over the counter trading price i.e $30.75 also it does not include the commission charged i.e $0.50
Hence, the price is $30.75
Based on your case knowledge, to what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement - "Kay Whitmore - Kodak CEO, had an understanding of Kodak's potential in the PC market. This was illustrated by her strong engagement with Bill Gates and Microsoft."

2. Mildly Agree
3. Neither Agree nor Disagree
4. MIldly Disagree
5. Strongly Disagree
6. Not Applicable
Answer:
3. Neither Agree nor Disagree
Explanation:
The reason was that the Kay Whitmore's engagement with Bill Gates and Microsoft has not much impacts on the potential of Kodak's products to exploit additional opportunities in Microsoft hence statement in consideration is not a one side argument as it is doubtful position.
So I am neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the statement hence the option 3 is correct here.
Samuel, a longtime employee of the ABCD Corporation, was injured when he fell off a ladder while stocking widgets at ABDC at their East Lansing, Michigan location. Samuel believes ABCD Corporation was negligent for selling widgets. If Samuel sues his employer in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery:
a. he will lose
b. he will win
c. he will forfeit his rights to workers compensation benefits, completely
d. he will forfeit his rights to workers compensation benefits, but only if the court awards him non-economic damages
Answer:
Option B. He will win
Explanation:
If Samuel is desiring to sue his employer in a circuit court because he thinks that the employer was negligent then he will have to sue under negligence Act, which says that the employer is obliged to take all necessary precautions and if found negligent then the court may apply contributory negligent theory as well as comparative negligent theory. These two negligent theories means that the employer was partly responsible for injury, which means that this would result in compensation to Samuel.
Hence it is more likely that Samuel will win the case.
It is likely that if Samuel sues ABCD Corporation in a circuit court under a negligence theory of recovery, a. he will lose.
The question to ask is, is ABCD Corporation negligent in selling widgets? No. Is it the case that the corporation's sale of widgets caused Samuel to fall off a ladder while he was stocking them at the Michigan location? No.
For Samuel to be successful in the circuit court, he must prove that ABCD Corporation acted negligently with its sales of widgets, especially:
ABCD Corporation owed a duty to Samuel not to sell widgets ABCD Corporation breached this duty to Samuel ABCD's breach was the actual cause of Samuel's injury ABCD's breach was also the proximate cause of Samuel's fall and injury Samuel suffered actual damages as a result of the negligent act by ABCD Corporation.
Thus, based on the above, Samuel will lose the case because the corporation was not negligent for selling widgets nor for the fall of Samuel from the ladder.

Oriole Company purchased equipment for $41600. Sales tax on the purchase was $2496. Other costs incurred were freight charges of $624, repairs of $364 for damage during installation, and installation costs of $696. What is the cost of the equipment
Answer:
The cost of the equipment is $45,416.
Explanation:
The cost of a newly purchased equipment is the addition of all relevant costs uncured in order to make the equipment ready for use.
The cost of the equipment includes costs such as purchase price, tax paid on the purchase, installation costs, etc.
However, any cost incurred to repair any damage to an equipment during installation is not part of equipment cost. Such repair costs are just ordinary expenses that are charged to the income statement during the period.
Based on the explanation above, the cost of the equipment by Oriole Company can be calculated as follows:
Equipment cost = Purchase price + Sales tax + Freight charges + Installation costs ..................... (1)
Since,
Purchase price = $41,600
Sales tax on the purchase = $2.496.
Freight charges = $624
Installation costs = $696.
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Equipment cost = $41,600 + $2,496 + $624 + $696 = $45,416
Therefore, the cost of the equipment is $45,416.
The internal rate of return method is used to analyze a $831,500 capital investment proposal with annual net cash flows of $250,000 for each of the six years of its useful life. a. Determine a present value factor for an annuity of $1, which can be used in determining the internal rate of return. Carry your answer out to three decimal places.
Answer:
annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326
Explanation:
the IRR represents the discount rate at which a project's NPV = 0
NPV = initial outlay + PV of future cash flows
NPV = 0
initial outlay = -$831,500
PV of future cash flows = $831,500 = cash flow x annuity factor
annuity factor = $831,500 / $250,000 = 3.326
using an annuity table and looking for the annuity factors for 6 periods, we find that the annuity factor for 20% and 6 periods = 3.326.
So our IRR = 20%

The Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) was developed as a means of scheduling and controlling projects with constant activity times. Group of answer choices False True
Answer: False
Explanation:
The Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is used to know the schedule tasks and also know the critical path variation. It is useful to know the length of time that'll be needed for the completion of every task and how it relates to others in order to know the entire time needed to complete the particular project.
The Project Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is not a means of scheduling and controlling projects with constant activity times. The activity time normally varies.

Answer: different wage-and-risk level offers made by different firms.
Explanation:
The offer curve show the different wage-and-risk level offers made by different firms.
When firms make different wages and risk level offers, the offer curve can be used to show the comparison and relationship between the offers by the firms that are involved.
Assume short-run production. Indicate whether the statement below is true (T) or false (F). nothing: The difference between the total cost and the total variable cost is a constant. nothing: When total cost or total variable cost is increasing, there are increasing marginal returns to the variable input. nothing: Changes in fixed costs do not affect the shape or placement of the total cost curve. nothing: The marginal cost is the slope of the total cost curve or the total variable cost curve. nothing: The average cost curve is everywhere above the average variable cost curve. nothing: The marginal cost at a particular output level is the slope of a line from the origin to the corresponding point on the cost curve.
Answer:
1. The difference between the total cost and the total variable cost is a constant. - TRUE
The difference between the 2 is indeed constant and is the Total Fixed cost which does not change throughout the production process.
2. When total cost or total variable cost is increasing, there are increasing marginal returns to the variable input. - FALSE
With only the total cost or total variable cost given, it is not possible to tell how the Marginal returns to the input is faring.
3. Changes in fixed costs do not affect the shape or placement of the total cost curve. - FALSE
Fixed costs are part of the total cost curve so if they change they will impart the total cost curve. An increase may not change the shape but it will definitely change the placement of the Total cost curve.
4. The marginal cost is the slope of the total cost curve or the total variable cost curve. - TRUE
The slope of either the Total cost or variable cost curves are the graphical representations of a change in either which is the definition of the Marginal cost.
5. The average cost curve is everywhere above the average variable cost curve. - TRUE
As the average cost is the sum of both the average fixed and average variable costs, it will always be higher than either so it is higher than the Average variable cost.
6. The marginal cost at a particular output level is the slope of a line from the origin to the corresponding point on the cost curve. - FALSE
Marginal cost measures the difference in cost from one unit to the next. A line from the origin to the corresponding point would have measured for all units produced making it the Average cost not Marginal Cost.

The Baldwin Company currently has the following balances on their balance sheet: Total Assets $260,881 Total Liabilities $150,673 Retained Earnings $52,700 Suppose next year the Baldwin Company generates $44,200 in net profit, pays $12,000 in dividends, total assets increase by $55,000, and total liabilities remain unchanged. What will ending Baldwins balance in Common Stock be next year
Answer:
common stock = $80,308
Explanation:
assets = liabilities + equity
current balance:
$260,881 = $150,673 + $110,208
$110,208 = common stock + retained earnings = $57,508 + $52,700
next year:
net income = $44,200
dividends = $12,000
assets = $260,881 + $55,000 = $315,881
liabilities = $150,673
equity = $315,881 - $150,673 = $165,208
retained earnings = $52,700 + $44,200 - $12,000 = $84,900
common stock = $165,208 - $84,900 = $80,308
A three-year annuity-immediate will be issued a year from now with annual payments of 5,000. Using the forward rates, calculate the present value of this annuity a year from now.
Answer:
13,152.5
Explanation:
Given the the above parameters as mentioned in the question
To calculate the PV (Present Value)
We have PV = 5000 * 1.05 * [ 1/(1.0575)² + 1/(0.625)³ + 1/(1.065)⁴]
PV = 5000 * 1.05 * (0.8942094350 + 0.8337064929 + 0.7773230908) =
=> PV = 5000 * 1.05 * 2.5052390187
= 13,152.50
Therefore, in this case, using the forward rates, the present value of this annuity a year from now is 13,152.50
A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%. If the average monthly sales for the store is $200,000.00, what is the cost of goods sold?
Answer:
COGS= $130,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A retail operation has an average gross margin of 35%.
Sales= $200,000.00
To calculate the cost of goods sold, we need to use the following formula:
Gross margin= sales - COGS
COGS= sales - gross margin
COGS= 200,000 - (200,000*0.35)
COGS= $130,000
of a portfolio. The beta of four stocksG, H, I, and Jare , , , and , respectively. What is the beta of a portfolio with the following weights in each asset: LOADING...? What is the beta of portfolio 1?
Answer: 1.02
Explanation:
The Portfolio Beta will be the weighted average of the betas of the individual stocks in Portfolio 1.
Portfolio Beta = (weight in G * beta of G) + (weight in H * beta of H) + (weight in I * beta of I) + (weight in J * beta of J)
= (0.25 * 0.45) + ( 0.25 * 0.82) + ( 0.25 * 1.14) + ( 0.25 * 1.66)
= 0.1125 + 0.205 + 0.285 + 0.415
= 1.0175
= 1.02
Seven Manufacturing Corporation uses both standards and budgets. The company estimates that production for the year will be 100,000 units of Product Fast. To produce these units of Product Fast, the company expects to spend $600,000 for materials and $800,000 for labor.
Required:
Compute the estimates for a standard cost.
Answer:
Unitary cost= $14
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Production= 100,000
To produce these units of Product Fast, the company expects to spend $600,000 for materials and $800,000 for labor.
First, we need to calculate the total cost and then the unitary cost:
Total cost= 600,000 + 800,000= $1,400,000
Unitary cost= 1,400,000/100,000= $14

Firm M has a margin of 7%, turnover of 2.0, sales of $910,000, and average stockholders' equity of $490,000. Required: Calculate Firm M’s average total assets, net income, return on investment (ROI), and return on equity (ROE
Answer:
1. Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment = 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE) = 13%
Explanation:
These can be calculated as follows:
1. Average total asset
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the Asset turnover ratio as follows:
Asset turnover ratio = Sales / Average total asset ……………………………… (1)
Where;
Turnover = asset turnover ratio = 2
Sales = $910,000
Average total asset = ?
Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for average total asset, we have:
2 = $910,000 / Average total asset
Average total asset = $910,000 / 2
Average total asset = $455,000
2. Net income
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating net income margin as follows:
Net income margin = Net income / Sales ……………………………………. (2)
Where,
Margin = Net income margin = 7%, or 0.07
Net income = ?
Sales = $910,000
Substituting the values into equation (2) and solve for net income, we have:
7% = Net income / $910,000
Net income = $910,000 * 7%
Net income = $63,700
3. Return on investment
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on investment as follows:
Return on investment = Net income / Average total assets ……………… (3)
Where;
Net income = $63,700
Average total asset = $455,000
Substituting the values into equation (3), we have:
Return on investment = $63,700 / $455,000
Return on investment = 0.14, or 14%
4. Return on equity (ROE)
To calculate this, we use the formula for calculating the return on equity (ROE) as follows:
Return on equity (ROE) = Net income / Average stockholders' equity…….. (4)
Net income = $63,700
Average stockholders' equity = $490,000
Substituting the values into equation (4), we have:
Return on equity (ROE) = $63,700 / $490,000
Return on equity (ROE) = 0.13, or 13%
