Answer:

b. At the midpoint of the project, members realize that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

At this point, it known to the members that the only way to complete a given task is for them to alter the pattern of the behavior.

Therefore, the correct option is b. At the midpoint of the project, members realize that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

Answer:

The answer is B: At the midpoint of the project, members realize that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium is a concept in both biology and business where long periods of relative stability are often followed by growth spurts.

The punctuated-equilibrium model argues that groups usually move forward during bursts of change after going for long periods without change.

In the answer B, this concept is captured as group members of a project realise somewhere at the midpoint, that their behavior pattern must change in order to complete the project on time.

This shows that a period of relative stability was observed and then a short period of growth will be observed during the project lifecycle. This agrees with the development pattern known as punctuated equilibrium.

On January 1, 2020, Cougar Sales, Inc. issued $15,000 in bonds for $14,700. They were 6-year bonds with a stated rate of 9%, and

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

$700

Explanation:

If a bond is issued at a lower price than the face value of the bond, then the bond is issued on the discount. This discount is amortized over the bond's life. This amortization will be expensed as Interest Expense.

Discount = Face value - Issuance price = $15,000 - $14,700 = $300

Bond's Life = 6 years

Amortization of discount = $300 / 6 = $50 annually = $25 semiannually

Coupon Payment = Face Value x coupon Rate = $15,000 x 9% = $1.350 annually = $675 semiannually

Interest Expense Includes both the coupon payment and discount amortization for the period.

Interest Expense = $675 + $25 = $700
