According to the FBI Bank Crime​ Statistics, there were nearly​ 4,000 bank robberies in the United States in 2014. The FBI claim

s that banks have made themselves easy targets by refusing to install clear acrylic​ partitions, called bandit
barriers​,
that separate bank tellers from the public. According to a special agent with the​ FBI,

​"Bandit barriers are a great deterrent.​ We've talked to guys who rob​ banks, and as soon as they see a bandit​ barrier, they go find another​ bank."


​Sources: U.S. Department of​ Justice, Federal Bureau of​ Investigation, "Bank Crime Statistics​ (BCS) Federally Insured Financial​ Institutions, January​ 1, 2014-December​ 31, 2014,"​ www.fbi.gov; and Richard​ Cowen, "FBI: Banks Are to Blame for Rise in​ Robberies,"
NorthJersey.com​,
March​ 10, 2009.

Despite this​ finding, many banks have been reluctant to install these barriers.​ Wouldn't banks have a strong incentive to install bandit barriers to deter​ robberies? Why,​ then, do so many banks not do​ so?

Answer:

Before a large corporation makes any investment decision, they carry out a cost benefit analysis. In other words, before the banks install clear acrylic partitions, they will decide if the cost of installing those partitions offset the costs of the robberies. The problem with this reasoning is that all banks have insurance against robberies, so if they are robbed the insurance company pays them. So installing the partitions do not represent a lot of benefits for the bank, but they are expensive and represent a large investment. The only way that banks install them is that insurance companies force them to do so.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

A. They have large cities.

Explanation:

Major reasons for high levels of air pollution in developing countries such as China and India are:

  1. The pollution from vehicles is poorly regulated. This means most of the vehicles on road do not conform to acceptable or permissible level of pollution.
  2. The Pollution by industry is poorly regulated. This means the industries are non compliant to permissible air pollution guidelines and many do not adhere to it. This also points towards poor implementation of pollution laws by the government.
  3. Poor people use wood and dung to cook and heat homes. This is due to lack of education and awareness among the poor and also owing to lack of resources available to them.

Identify and explain three reasons that an artist would elect to present content through abstract or non-representational form,
alexira [117]
There are at least 3 reasons why an artist would represent their ideas in abstract form. First, they may try to show the essential form or shape of the subject matter as in some paintings of the Group of Seven or Emily Carr in Canada in portraying snowy mountains or forests for example. Then, they may show disfigured people and horses screaming their outrage and dismay at being bombed like the painting of Guernica by Picasso to show outright rejection of the terrible bombing of Guernica in Spain by the Nazis in WWII. Also, color in an abstract painting can show the emotions of the painter such as in dark forests by Emily Carr to capture the feeling of being inside a dense forest of being closed in yet surrounded by wonderful vegetation.

Successful product differentiation:
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": can be based on either real or perceived differences in products.

Explanation:

Product differentiation is a marketing tool companies used to distinguish their products or services from the competitions. Generally the more a product is differentiated and, thus, made unique, the more a company can charge for it. Product differentiation is usually <em>subjective </em>since its goal is to change customer's perception of the benefits of a product over another. Though sometimes the information provided can be objectively true.

Vextra Corporation is considering the purchase of new equipment costing $35,000. The projected annual cash inflow is $11,000, to
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The net present value of the machine  = $ 1590

Explanation:

Solution

The first step is to compute the present value of annual cash inflows as shown below:

The present value of the inflow of cash = (Annual inflow of cash * PVIFA rate, period)

which is

= $11,000 * PVIFA 12%, 4

=  $11,000 * 3.0373

= $ 33,410

Note: the present value of  inflow of cash has been computed by multiplying Annual cash inflows and Cumulative factor of 12% and 4 years. Annual cash inflow is $11,000 and from the table of PVIFA rate for a 4 periods at 12% discount rate is 3.0373.

Next step is to compute the Net value as shown in the equation below:

Net present value = (present value of inflow of cash - Investment)

which is

=$ 33, 410 - $ 35,000

= $1590

The net present value is = $ 1590

Note: Net present value has been computed  be subtracting  investment from the present value of inflow of cash.

The opening investment is $35,000 and the present value of inflow of cash is $33,410. since the initial investment is more than the present value of cash inflows, the net present value is seen as negative.
