Answer:

Disability discrimination.

Explanation:

Disability discrimination is when an employer discriminates against an individual that has a disability and acts unfavourably towards a candidate because of the disability.

There should not be any pre-employment test that will screen out candidates because of a disability.

Tests should be designed in such a way that only job related skills are tested. In this instance firefighter recruitment requires candidates to carry a 100 pound sack down a ladder, and this is used for screening.

If it cannot be proven that the test is relevant to the job, then this will be a discrimination of disabled persons.

nlexa [21]

Answer:

c) relatively high variable costs

Explanation:

Operating leverage is a ratio that is used to analyze and understand the cost structure of a business. It gives the relation between the variable and fixed cost to the the total cost of running the business.

A business with a large amount of fixed cost relative to variable is said to have  a high operating leverage . For such business, operating income would  be more volatile because the operating income would not increase in commensurate proportion as sales revenue.

And a company with low operating leverage has low amount of fixed cost relative to variable cost and therefore a relatively high variable costs

Operating leverage is calculated as

KiRa [710]

Answer:

C) There was no price control on gasoline at the time.

Explanation:

During the 1970s the US government established a price ceiling on gasoline, but as all price ceilings set below the equilibrium price, it results in both a deadweight loss and a supply shortage.

Since the price is "too cheap", then the quantity demanded will be more than the quantity supplied. Rising costs in gasoline production made things worst, since suppliers were constantly reducing their supply of gasoline, while consumer demand was constantly increasing.

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: $8,391.90

Explanation:

So the company borrowed $40,000 from a bank.

They are to pay 7% interest on the note per year for 6 years.

We are to find the annual payments.

7% represents a constant payment schedule per year so we can use an Annuity formula.

Seeing as the Annuity factor has been calculated for us already we don't need to formula though.

The present value of an annuity factor for 6 years at 7% is 4.7665.

Calculating the present value of the annual payment can be done as follows,

= Amount / PVIFA (Present Value Interest Factor for an Annuity)

= 40,000/4.7665

= 8391.90181475

= $8,391.90

The annual payments equal $8,391.90.
