Grading the performance of minority group members by using lower standards and a patronizing attitude is called

1 answer:

8 0

In my opinion, it is called subtle discrimination. Unlike blatant discrimination, which consists in openly humiliating a member of a minority based on their personal traits, subtle discrimination is much more perfidious, as it is not always easy to point finger at it or to legally assess it. Sometimes, it even happens as a consequence of seemingly good intentions. For example, if I use lower standards to grade Afro-Americans in a class of mixed students, it still means I assume they are less capable or educated, even if I do it because I know that they had been oppressed and had historically had less chance to educate themselves.

BAK Corp. is considering purchasing one of two new diagnostic machines. Either machine would make it possible for the company to

suter [353]

Answer:

a) For MACHINE A

Net Present Value (NPV) 7208

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 11,48%

For MACHINE B

Net Present Value (NPV) -13468

Internal Rate of Return (IRR) 6,99%

b)BAK Corp should buy MACHINE A

Explanation:

We use excel or a spreadsheet to calculate net present value and the profitability index of each machine. See document attached.

We use a cash flow to solve this problem.

At moment 0 we have the investment cost , in this case Original cost $76,700 $183,000 for Machine A and Machine B . From period 1 to period 8, we have inflows and outflow. (Estimated annual cash inflows $20,200 $40,500

Estimated annual cash outflows $5,040 $9,870).

Then, we calculate the Net cash flow that is the difference between benefits and cost.

We use all the result (positive and negative) in Net cash flow to get the profitability index, IRR.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

a. monopolistic elements in the economy will prevent an immediate sharp fall in prices as a result of decreasing demand

Explanation:

When there is recession the price of the factor goes down and with that, the insufficient demand for a certain good or services is eliminated. The reasoning is that the decrease in prices stimulates demand and adjust the market.

Keynes among other economist consider that unemployment increase during recessions because the nominal wages rate do not fall. As the union and worker do not want to see their wage decrease. Same is applied to prices which makes then inflexible in a downward direction.

While "supply creates its own demand" is "Says's Law" which is rejected in keynes main book "The general theory"

Parsons Company is planning to produce 2,900 units of product in 2020. Each unit requires 2.00 pounds of materials at $7.00 per

olga55 [171]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the total cost of producing 2,900 units:

Total cost= direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

Total cost= (2*7)*2,900 + (0.5*16)*2,900 + [(0.5*16)*0.6]*2,900

Total cost= 40,600 + 23,200 + 13,920

Total cost= $77,720

Now, the unitary standard cost:

Unitary cost= total cost/number of units

Unitary cost= 77,720 / 2,900

Unitary cost= $26.8

The following data were taken from the financial statements of Gates Inc. for the current fiscal year. Property, plant, and equi

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Ratio of fixed assets to long-term liabilities = fixed assets / long term liabilities = $971,600 / $694,000 = 1.4

Ratio of liabilities to stockholders' equity = total liabilities / stockholders' equity = $834,000 / $2,780,000 = 0.3

Asset turnover = net sales / average total assets = $21,141,000 / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 6

Return on total assets = (net income + interest expense) / average total assets = ($386,000 + $41,640) / [($3,614,000 + $3,433,000)/2] = 12.14%

Return on stockholders’ equity = net income / average stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($2,780,000 + $2,558,000) = 14.46%

Return on common stockholders' equity = net income / average common stockholders' equity = $386,000 / [($1,946,000 + $1,724,000) = 21.04%

Parido Corporation has two manufacturing departments--Casting and Assembly. The company used the following data at the beginning

Ivan

Answer:

Allocated MOH= $26,372

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Total fixed overhead= 48,200

Total variable overhead= (1.9*8,000) + (3*2,000)= $21,200

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= (48,200 + 21,200) / 10,000

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $6.94 per machine hour

Now, we can allocate overhead to Job H:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 6.94*(2,600 + 1,200)

Allocated MOH= $26,372
