Answer:

The answer is D, the reporter is liable for a claim of libel

Explanation:

First of, we need to understand that libel in it self refers to a false statement or report published against an individual and of which the report has a very high tendency of tarnishing the individuals image. In order words, it can also be refereed to as the defamation of character where the victim in this case is refereed to as the character.

So,  referring back to the question. As a reporter, it is assumed that proper diligence has been done in respect to investigation or investigative journalism as some like to call it before going before the public to declare such a defaming statement and in such a case where such sequentially, the statement comes to be a false statement, the reporter and in some cases the firm at large is liable for a claim of libel.

So as related to the question asked, the answer is D.

Which of the following are microeconomic problems? (You may select more than one answer.)(a) Work/leisure choice.(b) Marketing s
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

(a) Work/leisure choice

(b) Marketing strategy

Explanation:

Microeconomic issues relate to those that are within the scope and power of individuals, households and firms which means that problems here will relate to decisions that these participants make in relation to resource allocation.

Choices relating to leisure or work have to do with the individual and the resources they would need or derive from either work or leisure and so are a microeconomic problem.

The marketing strategy that a firm should pursue is related to an individual firm and so is a microeconomic problem as well.

During its first year of operations, the McCormick Company incurred the following manufacturing costs: Direct materials, $5 per
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

$150,000

Explanation:

The computation of value of ending inventory under absorption costing is shown below:-

Total Cost per unit = Direct Material per unit + Direct Labor per unit + Variable Overhead per unit + Fixed Overhead per unit

= $5 + $4 + $3 + ( $200,000 ÷ 25,000 units)

= $5 + $4 + $3 + $8

= $20

Ending Inventory in units = Units produced - Units sold

= 25,000 - 17,500

= 7,500

Cost of Ending Inventory = Total Cost per unit × Ending Inventory units

= $20 × 7,500

= $150,000

So, for computing the cost of ending inventory we simply multiply the total cost per unit with ending inventory units.
