Answer:
Misappropriation refers to the use of another person's intellectual property including their name or likeness without prior permission from the person which can then cause harm to that person.
This is indeed an example of misappropriation because the company tried to use Bette's likeness in the commercial. After being rebuffed by Bette saying that she does not do commercials for whatever business or personal reasons known to her, they still sought to use her popularity and image to make their products more popular.
To do so they hired a backup singer and told her to sing as much like Bette as she could so much so that even Bette's close acquaintances thought that it was Bette. If her close acquaintances could think it was her, imagine the general public.
They therefore made it seem as though Bette did their commercial which then would mean that Bette does in fact do commercials which would do damage her assertion that she does not do same. This would bring harm to her business relationships if for instance she had rebuffed other companies in the past when they sought her to do their commercials.
This is a case of Misappropriation and Bette should sue.
You have just been offered your dream job after graduating from Jacksonville University. In response to your negotiations concerning your compensation package, the company has offered you a couple of different stock options in addition to the agreed upon salary.
Under the first option, you would receive stocks with a value of $2,000,000 at the end of each year. This option also includes an additional $4,000,000 bonus that you would receive for staying at the company for 3 years.
Under the second option, you would receive stocks with a value of $1,000,000 at the end of each year. This option also includes an additional $8,000,000 bonus that you would receive for staying at the company for 3 years.

Mark is creating Nu2U, a Web site through which he will enter into contracts over the Internet. In his standard online contract, he includes a provision which states "Any disputes under this contract will be resolved under the laws of the State of Texas." This is an example of a
Answer: Choice of Law Clause
Explanation:
The Choice of Law Clause allows parties in a contract to pick a territory's laws as the laws that the contract between them will be applicable to.
This way uncertainty can be avoided when any of the parties seeks legal redress for any perceived breach of contract.
It is worthy of note that parties do not even need to be from the Territory whose laws have been chosen and this is why some parties look for Territories who have laws that will be favourable to them. This is why most big Corporations pick Delaware law because their laws are perceived to be pro big business.
A Deloitte employment survey asked a sample of human resource executives how their company planned to change its workforce over the next months. A categorical response variable showed three options: The company plans to hire and add to the number of employees, the company plans no change in the number of employees, or the company plans to lay off and reduce the number of employees. Another categorical variable indicated if the company was private or public. Sample data for companies are summarized as follows.

Chen Company's account balances at December 31, 2017 for Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts are $800,000 debit and $1,500 credit. Sales during 2017 were $2,750,000. It is estimated that 1% of sales will be uncollectible. The adjusting entry would include a credit to the allowance account for:___________.
A) $29,000.
B) $27,500.
C) $26,000.
D) $8,000.
Answer:
B) $27,500.
Explanation:
The computation of the amount credited to the allowance account is shown below:
= Sales during the 2017 year × estimated uncollectible percentage
= $2,750,000 × 1%
= $27,500
By multiplying the sales with the estimated uncollectible percentage we can get the amount credited to the allowance account and the same is to be considered
Hence, the correct option is B
g edna had an accident while competing in a rodeo. She sustained facial injuries that required cosmetic surgery. While having the surgery done to restore her appearance, she had additional surgery done to reshape her chin, which was not injured in the accident. The surgery to restore her appearance cost $ 9,000 and the surgery to reshape her chin cost $ 6,000. How much of Edna's surgical fees will qualify as a deductible medical expense (before application of the 10% -of-AGI floor)?
Answer:
$9000 is a deductible medical expense.
Explanation:
Cosmetics surgery is necessary and deductible if the reason it was done was to enhance her appearance arising from a form or kind of abnormality, personal injury or a disease that disfigures.The $9000 cost that was paid because of the surgery due to the accident is deductible because the surgery was necessary while the $6000 paid for the unnecessary cosmetic surgery to reshapen the chin is not a deductible medical expense.
What advice would you offer an Advisor, Laggard, or Mechanic in their quest to become an Orchestrator? Are there any other dimensions you would choose to classify CIOs by other than "Leadership Capability" and "Decision-Making Authority"? Why?
Answer: The answer is given below
Explanation:
Here is the complete question:
Preston, Leidner, and Chen in 2008 discuss four CIO leadership profiles: Orchestrator, Advisor, Laggard, and Mechanic. What advice would you offer an Advisor, Laggard, or Mechanic in their quest to become an orchestrator?
Are there any other dimensions you would choose to classify CIOs by other than "Leadership Capability" and "Decision-Making Authority"? Why?
IT Advisor:
This is a high leadership making authority. In every team, there is division of labor and as an Advisor, one may be called upon to lead the time or give opinions on certain issues. Therefore, IT Advisor should learn how to convince people to accept his or her opinion. Gaining more trust will help in increasing the decision making of the person and more people will believe in his judgement.
IT Laggard:
This is a low leadership capability and a high decision making authority. Also, they need to get the much needed trust from their team members and also within the organization. It should be noted that they are capable and professional people. In order to enhance the more practical aspects of the integration, they should discuss more on the specific implementation methods to their teams and also convince the members and gain their trust.
IT Mechanic:
This is a low leadership capability and low decision making authority. I believe the most vital step for IT mechanic is for the person to strengthen their professional ability. When the person has the required professional capacity, then the person can lead the team to achieve its goal and also make better decision. This will make the IT Mechanics respected, increase his expertise and also gain team members trust.
I believe that apart from "leadership capability" and the "decision-making authority," a company can also use professional capabilities to classify CIOs. The possession of professional ability by the CIOs, can help them in making better decisions which will be of immense benefit to the company.
Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 17% and a standard deviation of 27%. The T-bill rate is 7%.
You estimate that a passive portfolio invested to mimic the S&P 500 stock index yields an expected rate of return of 13% with a standard deviation of 25%.
What is the slope of the CML? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
The slope of the CML = (13% - 7%)/25% = 0.24
Explanation:
Given that:
expected rate of return of 17%
standard deviation of 27%.
The T-bill rate is 7%.
You estimate that a passive portfolio invested to mimic the S&P 500 stock index yields an expected rate of return of 13% with a standard deviation of 25%.
The slope of the CML is
Slope of the CML = (Expected return of Market - Risk free return)/Standard deviation of market
The slope of the CML = (13% - 7%)/25% = 0.24
= (0.13 - 0.07) /0.25
= 0.24
compare and contrast the Reference Theory of meaning and the Idea Theory of meaning and explain how best each of them can be used to explain the term deadly virus .
Answer:
Check Explanation.
Explanation:
The concept of " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning " are very important in the aspect that concerns the use of language for expression and language semantics.
The SIMILARITIES BETWEEN " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning ";
=> They are both used in the Explanation of meaning that is to say in semantics.
=> They are both defined through "action''
The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN " Reference Theory of meaning " and the "Idea Theory of meaning " :
(1). The term "Reference Theory of meaning" simply means that every word has a particular reference or label.
For instance now;
=> Ebola Virus is deadly.
=> Stomach ache is deadly.
The Ebola Virus is the label for the micro-organism, deadly denotes how the virus kills and the " Ebola Virus is deadly" denotes the sentence.
The first sentence "Ebola Virus is deadly" is right as this sentence makes reference to Ebola virus that is being used in the determination of how true a sentence is.
SUMMARY: ALL WORDS SYMBOLIZES SOMETHING IN REAL LIFE AND THEY ARE USED IN THE DETERMINATION OF WHAT IS TRUE AND WHAT IS WRONG OR WHAT HAS VALUE.
The disadvantage is that it can not be used in the expression for that are abstract.
(2). Idea Theory of meaning simply refers to meaning BASED ON IDEAS and not what it actually means in REAL LIFE SCENARIO.
Its disadvantage is that mental images or ideas differ from one individual to the other.
You consider buying a share of stock at a price of $21. The stock is expected to pay a dividend of $2.04 next year, and your advisory service tells you that you can expect to sell the stock in 1 year for $24. The stock's beta is 1.2, rf is 8%, and E[rm] = 16%. What is the stock's abnormal return?A. 1%
B. 2%
C. -1%
D. -2%
E. None of the above
Answer:
E. None of the above
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the holding period return
Holding period return is the rate of return which an assets earns during the period in which it holds the assets.
Holding Period Return = (Selling Price - Initial Price + Dividend ) / Initial Price
Holding Period Return = ($24 - $21 + $2.04 ) / $21 = 0.24 = 24%
Now we need to calculate the expected return on the stock using CAPM formula as follow
Expected return = Risk free rate + Beta ( Market Risk Premium )
Expected return = rf + beta ( E(rm) )
Placing values in the formula
Expected return = 8% + 1.2 ( 16% )
Expected return = 27.2%
Abnormal return is the difference of Holding period return and expected return
Abnormal return = 27.2% - 24% = 3.2%
New Keynesian theorists argue that a. price and wage adjustments in response to policy changes often overcompensate and cause further price disruptions. b. unions and big business have considerable power and often choose not to change wages and prices so as to deliberately offset policy changes enacted by the government. c. the Fed and the Congress rarely do what they say they will do, so one should never listen to what they say. d. new classical rational expectations theories about how expectations are formed are completely wrong. e. prices and wages may not be free to adjust in response to policy changes.\
Answer:
The correct answer is (D)
Explanation:
New classical "rational expectations" theories about how expectations are formed, are completely wrong. That is, prices and wages may not be free to adjust in response to policy changes.
This is the basis of New Keynesian economics, which emerged from the Classical Keynesian economics.
New Keynesian theorists argue that wages and prices are sticky (hardly adjust) in the face of short term fluctuations in the economy. This means or explains that short term federal monetary policies do not have such a great influence on wage level and price level in the macroeconomy.
The payback period provides information to managers that can be used to help a.control the risks associated with the uncertainty of future cash flows. b.minimize the impact of an investment on a firm's liquidity problems. c.control the effect of the investment on performance measures. d.control the risk of obsolescence. e.All of these choices are correct.
Answer:
e. All of these choices are correct.
Explanation:
The payback period is the time that takes an investment to reach the break-even point. In other words, it is the amount of time that it takes an investor to pay back for the investment, hence the name.
The payback period results from dividing the amount of investment by the estimated cash flow from the investment.
During this period, the manager of an investment can carry out all of the activities listed in the question.
Assuming no employees are subject to ceilings for their earnings, Harris Company has the following information for the pay period of January 15 - 31.
Gross payroll $19,676
Federal income tax withheld $3,438
Social security rate 6%
Federal unemployment tax rate 0.8%
Medicare rate 1.5%
State unemployment tax rate 5.4%
Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of
a) $15,018.09
b) $13,542.39
c) $14,762.30
d) $19,676.00
Answer:
The correct answer is B. Salaries Payable would be recorded in the amount of 13,542.39.
Explanation:
Given that the company's gross payroll is $19,676, and that a discount of $3,438 must be applied by the Federal Income Tax, a 6% social security rate, a 0.8% federal unemployment rate, a 1.5% rate Medicare and 5.4% state unemployment rate, the following gross discounts must be made to gross payroll to determine wages to be paid after taxes:
3,438 (Federal Income Tax)
19,676 x 0.06 = 1,180.56 (social security rate)
19,676 x 0.008 = 157.408 (federal unemployment rate)
19,676 x 0.015 = 295.14 (Medicare rate)
19,676 x 0.054 = 1,062.5 (state unemployment rate)
Therefore, those discounts should be subtracted from the gross payroll in order to get the Salaries Payable:
19,676 - 3,438 - 1,180.56 - 157.4 - 295.14 - 1,062.5 = 13,542.39.
Mark Welsch deposits $7,200 in an account that earns interest at an annual rate of 4%, compounded quarterly. The $7,200 plus earned interest must remain in the account 3 years before it can be withdrawn. How much money will be in the account at the end of 3 years
Answer:
$8,113.14
Explanation:
The computation of the amount will be in the account at the end of 3 years i.e future value is shown below:
As we know that
Future value = Present value × (1 + interest rate)^number of years
= $7,200 × (1 + 0.04 ÷ 4)^ 3 × 4 quarters
= $7,200 × (1.01)^12
= $7,200 × 1.12682503
= $8,113.14
Since it is compounded quarterly so we divided the rate by 4 quarters and multiplied the number of years with the 4 quarters as there are 4 quarters in a year

Cash 2300 Cr
Notes Payable 22700 Cr
e.
Equipment account 9500 Dr
Cash 2300 Cr
Accounts Payable 7200 Cr
Explanation:
a.
The issuance of common stock against cash will increase the cash and the capital. So cash will be debited and capital (common stock) will be credited.
b.
The issuance of notes payable against cash increases liability and asset. The asset increase in cash will be debited and liability increase in notes payable will be credited.
c.
The purchase of equipment on account will increase liability and asset. The asset increase in form of equipment will be debited and the liability increase in form of accounts payable will be credited.
d.
The purchase of land will increase land and result in a debit to the land account. It is purchased for cash and a liability of notes payable. So both cash and the notes payable account will be credited as cash decreases (asset decrease in credited) and liability increases (liability increase is credited).
e.
The purchase of equipment will increase equipment account and result in a debit to the equipment account. It is purchased for cash and a liability of accounts payable. So both cash and the accounts payable account will be credited as cash decreases (asset decrease in credited) and liability increases (liability increase is credited).
Like a good economist, you calculated the opportunity cost of getting your college degree. Suppose that at your university, you will pay $10,000 each year for tuition, $2,500 each year for textbooks, and $10,000 per year for room and board. Before you left for college, your boss at your high-school job offered you a job paying $20,000 per year. Assume that if you decided not to go to college, your parents would not let you live at home. What is your opportunity cost for four years of college?
Answer:
The opportunity cost is $130,000 for the four year duration.
Explanation:
Here, it is clear that I will not go to the job, so going to university is the only option left. Now, the loss of the job income is also an opportunity cost with an amount $20,000 which will aggregated with the University specific costs.
University Specific cost for 4 Years = 4 * (Tuition Cost + Textbooks + Job Opportunity loss)
The room and board cost is common between college and the university so it must not be considered for the decision making.
By putting values, we have:
University Specific cost for 4 Years = 4 * ($10,000 + $2,500 + $20,000)
University Specific cost for 4 Years = $130,000 for the four years
The opportunity cost is $130,000 for the four year duration.

Which of the following are a type of overhead allocation method?
a. division overhead rate method.
b. activity-based costing method
c. departmental overhead rate method
d. plantwide overhead rate method
Answer:
b. activity-based costing method
c. departmental overhead rate method
d. plantwide overhead rate method
Explanation:
B. Activity based costing method allocates different cost pools or drivers to each overhead based on its level of activity or usage etc. For example if we want to find the cost of telephone calls we would find the number of total calls not number of days. Similarly if we want to calculate the wages we will find the number of hours not days etc.
C. Department overhead rate method allocates different rates to each department. For example the rates of the lubricating department may be different from the finishing department or polishing department etc.
D. Platwide Overhead rate method allocates a single rate to all the products. It is based on direct labor hours . And number of hours are used to allocate it to different products. For example the rate may be $1.5 per hour and it can be calculated for different products as product A requires 6 hours and product B requires 9 hours so the rate for Product A would be $ 9.0 and $ 12 for product B.
A.division overhead rate method. Theres no such overhead rate as division overhead rate method.
The plantwide overhead rate method. Thus the option D is correct.
What is the overhead allocations ?The overhead allocation refers to the rate of the cost allocations . The core components of the cost allocations is track the organization products and services.

A bond with a 7-year duration is worth $1,079, and its yield to maturity is 7.9%. If the yield to maturity falls to 7.75%, you would predict that the new value of the bond will be approximately:_____________.
Answer:
$1,087.27
Explanation:
The new value of the bond is the new price of the bond calculated using yield to maturity of 7.75% instead of the original yield of 7.9% using excel pv formula provided thus:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
Before that we need to determine the pmt which is the annual coupon on the bond.
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
rate is the original yield ot 7.9%
nper is the duration of 7 years
pv is the initial market price of $1,079
fv is the face value of $1000
=pmt(7.9%,7,-1079,1000)=$ 94.12
The new price is computed thus:
=-pv(7.75%,7,94.12,1000)=$1,087.27

Suppose that the world price of oil is $70 per barrel and that the United States can buy all the oil it wants at this price. Suppose also that the demand and supply schedules for oil in the United States are as follows:Price ($ Per Barrel) U.S. Quantity Demanded) U.S. Quantity Supplied68 16 470 15 672 14 874 13 1076 12 12a) Draw the supply and demand curve for the United Statesb) With free trade in oil, what price will Americans pay for their oil? What quantity will Americans buy? How much of this will be supplied by American producers? How much will be imported?
Answer:
The supply and demand curves for the United States are shown in the graphs attached.
Explanation:
Free trade in oil implies that a country in the international oil market can import as much oil as it wants and export as much oil as it wants.
The costs of demand and the revenues obtained in each case are given below:
QD1 cost = 68 × 70 = $4,760
QS1 revenue = 16 × 70 = $1,120
QD2 cost = 470 × 70 = $32,900
QS2 revenue = 15 × 70 = $1,050
QD3 cost = 672 × 70 = $47,040
QS3 revenue = 14 × 70 = $980
QD4 cost = 874 × 70 = $61,180

Suppose you are an analyst in the oil refinery industry and are responsible for estimating the equilibrium price and quantity of home heating oil. To do so, you must consider factors that can affect the supply of and demand for heating oil.
Determinants of the demand for heating oil include household income, the price of an oil furnace (a complement to heating oil) and the price of natural gas (a substitute for heating oil). Determinants of the supply of heating oil include the cost of crude oil and the cost of refining crude oil into home heating oil.
1. Suppose that all of the determinants of the supply and demand for heating oil are equal to their initital values. The equilibrium quantity in this market is ___ barrels of heating oil per day,
A. 60,000
B. 50,000
C. 70,000
D. 80,000
E. 40,000
2. and the equilibrium price is ____ per barrel.
A. $40
B. $70
C. $60
D. $50
E. $80
Answer:
1. 80,000
2. $40 per barrel
Explanation:
1. As we can see from the table provided The equilibrium quantity in this market is 80,000 barrels of heating oil per day, as quantity demanded match quantity supplied
2. As we can see from the table provided The equilibrium price is $40 per barrel as in this cost there is an intersection of quantity demanded and quantity supplied. In other words the equilibrium price and quantity could be find out when the quantity demanded equal to quantity supplied
Under a partnership agreement, Sherry is to receive 25% of the partnership income, but not less than $10,000. The partnership has net income of $30,000 for Year 1 before any allocation. Calculate Sherry’s guaranteed payment from the partnership for Year 1.
Answer:
$2,500
Explanation:
since Sherry will receive at least $10,000 or 25% of the partnership's net income, then the guaranteed payment = $10,000 - ($30,000 x 25%) = $10,000 - $7,500 = $2,500
When partnerships include guaranteed minimum payments, he/she will receive that amount even if the partnership's net income is not high enough. If the partnership's net income would have been $40,000 or more, then there would be no guaranteed payment (= $40,000 x 25% = $10,000).

Swiss Group reports net income of $26,000 for 2017. At the beginning of 2017, Swiss Group had $184,000 in assets. By the end of 2017, assets had grown to $234,000. What is Swiss Group's 2017 return on assets?
Answer:
12.44%
Explanation:
The computation of the return on assets is shown below:
As we know that
Return on asset = Net income ÷ Average of total asset
= ($26,000) ÷ ($184,000 + $234,000) ÷ 2
= ($26,000) ÷ ($209,000)
= 12.44%
We simply applied the above formula so that the return on assets could be determined
Therefore we considered all the information given in the question

Elasticity and Demand for Food
A. Consider the information on real-world price elasticities for ten countries. Why do you think the price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S.? What does this imply about food purchases in the U.S. and Tanzania?
B. The government wants to maximize its tax revenue. Revenue is equal to the amount of the tax times the quantity of goods sold (i.e., revenue Tax . Q). Which will provide more tax gasoline or a tax on restaurant meals? Why?
Answer:
Why do you think the price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S.?
The price elasticity of demand for food is higher in Tanzania than in the U.S. because Tanzania is a much poorer country than the U.S., and a rise in food prices leads immediately to a large drop in demand, since most people will simply not have enough income to meet demand.
What does this imply about food purchases in the U.S. and Tanzania?
This implies that people in Tanzania spend less money on food, but also spend a larger share of their income on it.
Which will provide more tax gasoline or a tax on restaurant meals? Why?
The tax on gasoline will provide more funds because gasoline is a good that is way more inelastic than restaurant meals.
If restaurant meals become more expensive because of the tax, people will simply stop eating-out, and prepare home meals instead.
Gasoline, on the other hand, is very inelastic, and even if the price goes up a lot because of a very high tax, car owners will still have to purchase it, raising government revenue.
