Answer:
Hire temporary employees to work on specific projects.
Explanation:
Human resource management is the process by which a business effectively manages its manpower needs to meet its organisational goals at a reduced cost to the business.
It involves the various strategies used to hire employees to meet business needs in a cost-effective way.
The construction division has a highly seasonal workload, with fewer projects in the winter than in the summer. Also, different expertise is needed for different kinds of buildings. So hiring a permanent workforce is counterproductive as they will be paid when there is no work to be done. The best strategy is to hire temporary workers. Also there is need for specialised staff to work on specific projects.
Answer:
B) False: since it is still a closely held C corporation, it cannot reduce its ordinary income through passive losses. If it hadn't been a closely held C corporation then it could have made the deductions.
Explanation:
Passive losses are losses resulting from financial activities, i.e. investments in other corporations where the investor doesn't participate in.
Passive losses cannot offset ordinary income, they must be matched against passive gains only. If passive losses exceed passive gains, they can be carried forward without limitation.
The only exception applies to C corporations that are not;
- closely held corporations or
- personal service corporations.
Qualifying C corporations can actually deduct passive losses from certain ordinary income.
Closely held C Corporations are corporations where during the last 6 months, 50% or more of its stock is owned by 5 or fewer investors.

Explanation:
Cross Price Elasticity of Demand is a very useful tool in Economics to ascertain if goods are compliments or Substitutes.
Cross Price Elasticity of Demand (CPSD) measures the change in demand in one good due to a change in price is the other good.
If the CPSD is negative then the goods are Compliments meaning that they are used together which is why when the price of one good goes down, the demand of the compliment goes up because more of the original good will be bought due to the lower price.
If the CPSD is Positive, it means that they are Substitutes and a Decrease in price in one good leads to a decrease in demand for the other good because people will demand less of it and switch to the former (now cheaper) good.
The formula is,
= % change in Quantity Demanded of Product A /% change in Price of Product B
a. Splishy splashies and Flopsicles
CPSD = -18%/-1%
= 18%
The CPSD for both these products is 18% which is a positive figure. This means that they are Substitutes and <u>should not be marketed together. </u>
b. Splishy Splashies and Flopsicles
CPSD = 3%/-1%
= -3%
With the CPSD being a negative figure here, these goods are Compliments.
Splishy Splashies and Flopsicles <u>should be Marketed together</u> as they compliment each other.
Answer: Stock B
Explanation:
Use CAPM to calculate the required returns of both stocks.
Stock A
Required return = Risk free rate + beta * ( Market return - risk free rate)
= 5% + 1.20 * (9% - 5%)
= 9.8%
Stock B
Required return = 5% + 1.8 * (9% - 5%)
= 12.2%
Both of them have Expected returns that are higher than their Required returns so both of them are good buys.
The better buy would be the one that has more expected value excess over required return.
Stock A excess = 10% - 9.8% = 0.2%
Stock B excess = 14% - 12.2% = 1.8%
<em>Stock B offers a higher excess and is the better buy. </em>
