Answer: $297,353.33
Explanation:
In calculating the Opportunity Cost of using that space with the available data, the following formula can be used (notice that APR is a yearly figure and the rent is monthly),
Opportunity cost = Rent per month *12* (1-tax rate) / APR
= $3,431.00 * 12 * ( 1 - 0.35) / 0.09
= 297353.333333
= $297,353.33
$297,353.33 is the opportunity cost of using this space.
Note the method used above is the faster method but if you want to use the other method, first you change the rent to a monthly figure. Then you divide it by the cost of capital to get the present value. Then you multiply by the After tax rate of (1 - tax rate). It's basically the same as the above though.
Answer: $450
Explanation:
Total tickets purchased = 2
The cost of one ticket three months ago = $100
Current price of one ticket = $225
Total cost of two tickets = $225 × 2
= $450

Answer:
Human element; collusion.
Explanation:
In this scenario, Eric Hansen is a receiving clerk who has just been denied a raise. He has approached his subordinate, who is the new storeroom clerk, about diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This is an example of the human element, which may lead to collusion.
Human element can be defined as a strategic technique for improving and dealing with the way or manner employees work together in a business environment in order to achieve greater organizational performance and accomplishments. Human element can be used to improve openness, sincerity and honesty among the the very many people (employees) working individually or together as a team in an organization.
In this case, when the storeroom clerk agrees to Eric's suggestion, this would lead to both of them diverting inventory to sell for personal gain. This is simply an act of collusion.
Collusion is an illegal cooperation or agreement between two or more people with an ulterior motive, for personal benefits.
