horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Frictional unemployment occurs when people decided to leave their jobs and look for another or people join the labor force for the first time.

Structural unemployment arises from a situation where there is a mismatch between the skills needed in an economy and the skills possessed by people. Happens a lot when employees need to adapt to new technology.

Cyclical unemployment happens as a result of the economy either growing or shrinking.

a. Andrew recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job using a general ledger (paper and pencil), and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

b. Sam recently lost his job as an accountant for a large firm because he only knows how to perform the job a using a general ledger and has been unwilling to learn how to use newly invented accounting software provided by the company. ⇒ STRUCTURAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

c. Teresa just graduated from college and is looking for a full time position with an investment banking firm. ⇒ FRICTIONAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

d. A recent recession has reduced the number visitors to a local theme park. The park has had to lay off many of its employee, including Beth. ⇒ CYCLICAL UNEMPLOYMENT.

A pre-concert rehearsal is an example of

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Quality control

Explanation:

Six Sigma is a quality business management strategy which helps business organizations to improve the quality of processes, products and services by discovering and eliminating defects, variations or errors. It is a strategic business concept that was developed in 1986 by Motorola.

Under the six sigma approach, any process that doesn't provide customer satisfaction or causes challenges in an organisation's process should be eliminated from the system in order to produce quality products and services. It allows only 3.4 defective features for every million opportunities and as such expects processes to be defect free 99.99966 percent of the time.

Generally, there are two (2) main methods of achieving the six sigma approach;

1. DMAIC: define, measure, analyze, improve and control.

2. DMADV: define, measure, analyze, design and verify.

Hence, a pre-concert rehearsal is an example of quality control because the participants or team members are made to practice their routines so as to master them and prevent mistakes on the day of the concert. Thus, a pre-concert is aimed at getting the best out of a team in order to deliver a quality performance to the audience.

1. A statement of affairs shows $50,000 of assets pledged to fully secured creditors, $100,000 of assets pledged to partially se

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

B. $165,000

This amount is made up of as follows:

Partially unsecured Liability = $25,000 ($125,000 - 100,000)

plus Unsecured with priority = $20,000

plus Totally Unsecured = $120,000

Total = $165,000

Explanation:

a) The fully secured liability of $40,000 had secured assets worth $50,000, giving excess assets of $10,000.

b) The partially secured liability of $125,000 could only be secured with assets worth $100,000, leaving the balance of $25,000 as unsecured.

c) The Unsecured with priority equals $20,000

d) The completely unsecured without priority equals $120,000.

When (b) to (d) are summed, the total is $165,000.

e) The unsecured liabilities with priority will be paid before other all unsecured liabilities. That is the only advantage they enjoy. But, they can only be settled after all reorganization expenses had been settled.

Matthew Liotine's Dream Store sells water beds and assorted supplies. His best-selling bed has an annual demand of 395 units.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

77.48 units

Explanation:

Data provided in the questions

Annual demand = 395 units

Ordering cost = $38

Holding cost per unit per year = $5

The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

$= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}$

$= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{395}\times \text{\$38}}{\text{\$5}}}$

= 77.48 units

hence, the economic order quantity is 77.48 units

We simply applied the above formula so that approximate units could come. And it always expressed in units
