Answer:

The most sensible position is to understand that theory, while not practical in itself, can be immensely helpful when dealing with pratical matters.

This is because theory gives you a sound conceptual foundation that can be used to analyze the practical context, and approach it with the best possible practical solutions.

Without theory, managers have to rely too much on intuition, which can often fail.

Displacement is the defense mechanism. Devised by the Freud's daughter Anna Frued which is one delicate follower of the Psychoanalysis theory and therapy pionnered by Sigmund himself. Defense mechanisms are told to be formed when there is a presence of anxiety, these anxieties are shaped when the id, ego and superego contradicts and coerces with one another. Thus defense mechanisms are formed to help the indivdual cope with his/her situation and anxiety. One is displacement as displayed in the statement above.

Hazel owns an event planning company that specializes in very high-end events. Several years ago, Hazel purchased a magnificent

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D. If Hazel sells the chocolate fountain for $3,300, she will have a $1,500 capital gain.

Explanation:

I´m assuming that Hazel is a person that owns this event planning company.

The current book value of the chocolate fountain = purchase cost - accumulated depreciation = $3,000 - $1,200 = $1,800

If the chocolate fountain (or any asset) is sold at a higher price than book value, then a capital gain must be recognized. If the chocolate fountain is sold at a lower price than book value, then a capital loss should be recognized.

$3,300 (selling price) - $1,800 (book value) = $1,500 capital gain

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

(a) The deposit should be $168.06 quarterly.

(a) The deposit should be $145.32 quarterly.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

An investor needs $11,000 in 19 years.

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

The explanations to the answers are now given as follows:

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

Since the amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter, the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:

FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 7% / 4 = 0.07 / 4 = 0.0175

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0175)^44 - 1] / 0.0175}

11,000 = M * 65.4531536741798

M = 11,000 / 65.4531536741798

M = $168.06

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

We make use of equation (1) in part (a) as follows:

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 9.4% / 4 = 0.094 / 4 = 0.0235

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0235)^44 - 1] / 0.0235}

11,000 = M * 75.6957891651599

M = 11,000 / 75.6957891651599

M = $145.32

This jacket is so thin. It can't possibly keep out the rain."(Use the boomerang method.)

Ivan

Answer:

The jacket is thin because it uses a fiber called thinsulate that enables it to have the lightest weight but is also the warmest.

Explanation:

In general marketing, the boomerang method refers to the 'reconstruction' of the customer's objection into the main reason for buying. In other words, using the same excuse that a customer has about a product to entice him/her to buy that product by reframing it as a selling point is known as the boomerang method.

In the given scenario, the customer's objection is about the thinness of the jacket can be used as a selling point by the salesman by stating that the lightness of the jacket is what makes it a good product. So, if the seller tells the customer "the jacket is thin because it uses a fiber called Thinsulate that makes it thin but also warm", then that will make it an interesting and important factor for the customer to like the product more.

Marshall owns and operates a construction firm. He uses inexpensive and low-grade building products and accepts inferior carpent

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The correct option is (d)

Explanation:

Ethics is considered above law as law requires just compliance of laws, rules and regulations. Ethics on the other hand establishes a standard of moral conduct. Being mere legal does not mean that something is ethical. Ethical responsibilities are not codified as it is expected from businesses to follow the same.

Here, Marshall, though complied with legal frameworks, he failed to fulfill his ethical obligations by using low-grade products that could harm the general public in future.
