Answer:
Option (B). See explanation below.
Explanation:
I rewrite the question for clarity:
A major problem with lectures, simulations, and outdoor training exercises is?
(A) Employees generally find them boring
(B) Organizations generally find them too expensive
(C) There is often little transfer of training to actual organizational situations
(D) They can only be used with upper management level employees
Now the question asks for the major problem. This means that some other options would be a 'minor problem' and/or some options won't be a problem at all.
An example of the latter is option D. It is not a problem at all! Outdoor training exercises, lectures and simulations can also be used for or with mid level employees and other sets of skilled workers in the firm.
Minor problems include options A and C. For option A, it is not every time or in every case that employees get bored with extra-duty activities.
For option C, it is not often or common that the knowledge and skills from the training aren't transferred to actual organizational situations. Instead, it is rare that little knowledge & skill from the training is applied to actual organizational situations.
THE ANSWER IS (B)
Organizations generally find these extra activities too expensive!
This is because:
1. It takes some or much effort to get skilled trainers for the employees (managers inclusive). That is a cost.
2. The total cost of materials (not personnel) to be used to train the employees is usually high. Such costs include cost of projectors, board rooms, open air centers or fields, sound system, writing materials, food and drinks, hotel accommodation in the case of camping, technical materials like tablets and other gadgets, etc.
3. The cost of time set out for these training exercises! Whichever group of employees (maybe all employees in a specific department) will be undergoing training, they will have to be excused from work either for some hours in the daily routine or for some whole days. This will mean their partial or total absence from work and this might cost the company some profit. Implicit cost matters too.

A supplier has offered your company a reduced price per unit for a component part you purchase if you will increase your purchase quantity from to units. Currently, you pay $ per unit. The supplier has offered to reduce this cost to $ per unit if you purchase the higher quantity. You purchase approximately of the units annually. The cost to place an order is estimated to be $ per order regardless of the order size. Transportation costs are estimated to be $ per unit. Your cost to hold a component part in inventory is estimated at % annually based on the cost of the purchased item. Should you continue with your current policy, or should you take the incentive offered by the supplier?
Answer:
the numbers are missing:
A supplier has offered your company a reduced price per unit for a component part you purchase if you will increase your purchase quantity from 18,000 to 72,000 units. Currently, you pay $28.50 per unit. The supplier has offered to reduce this cost to $28.20 per unit if you purchase the higher quantity. You purchase approximately 279,000 of the units annually. The cost to place an order is estimated to be $360 per order regardless of the order size. Transportation costs are estimated to be $0.85 per unit. Your cost to hold a component part in inventory is estimated at 18% annually based on the cost of the purchased item. Should you continue with your current policy, or should you take the incentive offered by the supplier?
currently the total cost = [279,000/18,000 x $360] + (18% x $28.50 x 18,000/2) + (279,000 x $0.85) + ($28.50 x 279,000) = $5,580 + $46,170 + $237,150 + $7,951,500 = $8,240,400
total cost after proposed change in order size = [279,000/72,000 x $360] + (18% x $28.20 x 72,000/2) + (279,000 x $0.85) + ($28.20 x 279,000) = $1,395 + $182,736 + $237,150 + $7,867,800 = $8,289,081
the proposed change in order size should not be accepted and the company should continue with its current policies

How big does the return have to be to put a domestic stock fund in the top for the three-year period (to 2 decimals)
Answer:
20.944%
Explanation:
Complete question is: "The average return for large-cap domestic stock funds over the three years (2009-2011) was 14.8%. Assume the three-year returns were normally distributed across funds with a standard deviation of 4.8%. How big does the return have to be to put a domestic stock fund in the top 10% for the three-year period (to 2 decimals)?"
Top 10% would be 90th percentile.
Z at 0.9 from standard normal table = 1.28

==>> 20.944%
According to the equation, the return would be 20.944% that have to be to put a domestic stock fund in the top for the three-year period.
How big does the return have?
Given Information:
standard deviation=4.8%average return=14.8%Top 10% would be 90th percentile.
Z at 0.9 from standard normal table = 1.28
Return= 1.28*4.8% + 14.8%
Return=6.144% + 14.8%
Return=20.944%

Dave gets a job at a grocery store, which pays him an hourly wage in
exchange for his labor. Dave is participating in *
O A. entrepreneurship
O B. human capital.
O C. the product market.
O D. the factor market.
Answer:
D. the factor market
Explanation:
Labor (along with land, capital, and entrepreneurship) is one of the "four factors of production."
Also, Dave isn't starting a business (so he's not an entrepreneur), nor is he in the product market (since he's not making products; just shelving, bagging, and/or scanning them at checkout). I suppose he might be participating in human capital in that he's building up "human capital" (i.e., building up his skills and experience), but I feel like "factor market" is better.

price setting firms product differentiation profit maximisation high barriers to entry or exit of firms downward sloping demand curve_____, which is the ease with which consumers can sample or use a new product innovation, _____ the diffusion rate.
Answer:
Trialbility; increases
Explanation:
A marketing mix can be defined as the choices based on pricing strategy, product attributes, communication and distribution strategy that a business firm offer to its potential customers and target markets.
Generally, a marketing mix is made up of the four (4) Ps;
1. Products: this is typically the goods and services that gives satisfaction to the customer's needs and wants. They are either tangible or intangible items.
2. Price: this represents the amount of money a customer buying goods and services are willing to pay for it.
3. Place: this represents the areas of distribution of these goods and services for easier access by the potential customers.
4. Promotions: for a good sales record or in order to increase the number of people buying a product and taking services, it is very important to have a good marketing communication such as advertising, sales promotion, direct marketing etc
Hence, trialbility which is the ease with which consumers can sample or use a new product innovation, increases the diffusion rate.
This ultimately implies that, when a business firm avails its customers the opportunity to try out their newly introduced or invented products, it increases the rate at which the product will become accepted in the market.

If opening capital is ks 70000 and closing capital is ks 90000, what is the amount of profit or loss
Answer:
20,000
Explanation:
The computation of the amount of profit or loss is given below:
As we know that
Closing capital = opening capital + profit or loss - drawings
90,000 = 70,000 + profit or loss - 0
Profit = 90,000 - 70,000

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not attach any text, article, or particular reference to answer this question. So we assume you are talking in general terms.
So being that the case, we can comment on the following.
It is true that emerging technologies are impacting organizations. Some businesses and organizations have been overwhelmed by technological advances. We are talking about new technologies that are transforming the workplace such as biometrics, analytics, robotics, big data, or artificial intelligence.
What organizations can do to reduce the burden of digitalization is having a gradual transformation. Not a sudden or abrupt change. A step by stape process is highly recommended. But procrastination at all. The digital transformation should start now.
It has to start with a process of training to make employees aware of the necessity of change.
g True or False and then Explain: Firm profits are always higher if the firm can engage in third degree price discrimination than if it has to charge different groups the same price.
Answer:
true
Explanation:
Price discrimination is when the same product is sold at different prices to customers in different markets
types of price discrimination
1. first degree price discrimination : here sellers charge each consumer at their willingness to pay in order to eliminate consumer surplus.
2. second degree price discrimination : here firms offer different prices depending on the quantity purchased. e.g. giving discounts for bulk purchases.
3, third degree price discrimination : firms charge different prices to different groups of customers. e.g. having a certain price for senior citizens, students
If a company charges different prices to different groups, they would be charging at prices customers would be willing to pay
a debt of $1,000 is incurred at t 5 0. What is the amount of four equal payments at t 5 1, 2, 3, and 4 that will repay the debt if money is worth 10 percent compounded per period
Answer: $315.47
Explanation:
As this requires equal annual payments, it makes it an annuity. The $1,000 debt will be the present value of the annuity so a present value of annuity formula can be used:
1,000 = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -n) / rate
1,000 = Annuity * ( 1 - ( 1 + 10%)⁻⁴ ) / 10%
1,000 = Annuity * 3.169865
Annuity = 1,000/3.169865
Annuity = $315.47
At December 31, DePaul Corporation had the following cumulative temporary differences associated with its operations:
1. Estimated warranty expense, $16 million temporary difference: expense recorded in the year of the sale; tax-deductible when paid (one-year warranty).
2. Depreciation expense, $120 million temporary difference: straight-line in the income statement; MACRS on the tax return.
3. Income from installment sales of properties, $20 million temporary difference: income recorded in the year of the sale; taxable when received equally over the next five years.
4. Rent revenue collected in advance, $24 million temporary difference; taxable in the year collected; recorded as income when the performance obligation is satisfied in the following year.
Required:
Assuming DePaul will show a single noncurrent net amount in its December 31 balance sheet, indicate that amount and whether it is a net deferred tax asset or liability. The tax rate is 25%.
Answer:
$25 million net differed tax liability
Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
Net deferred tax liability is computed as;
= (Taxable temporary difference - Deductible temporary difference) × Tax rate
= ($120 million + $20 million - $16million - $24million ) × 25%
= $100 million × 25%
= $25 million
The above shows the net deferred tax liability of $25million hence same is to be considered.

Preferred stock, 5%, $50 par value, 1,200 shares issued and outstanding with dividends in arrears for the three prior years. Common stock, $100 par value, 2,200 shares issued and outstanding. Total dividends declared and paid in current year were $52,000. How much of the current dividend will be paid to the preferred stockholders assuming the preferred stock is cumulative
Answer:
$12,000
Explanation:
total preferred dividends per year = 1,200 x $50 x 5% = $3,000
since they were not paid during the past three years, and they are cumulative, the total preferred dividends = $3,000 x 4 = $12,000
common stock dividends = total dividends - accumulated preferred dividends = $25,000 - $12,000 = $13,000
cumulative preferred stocks that are not paid in the past, must be paid before any common dividends are paid
