Answer:

Assets must decrease by 223,750

Explanation:

the total assets turnover is calcualte as follows:

\frac{sales}{assets}

As the new CFO jsut want to reduce assets and not to put the effort to increase sales as it see it less likely It will reduce assets (lower the credit term, lower inventory stocks among other measurements)

our goal is a value of 2.4 with sales of 315,000

\frac{315,000}{Assets}  = 2.4\\Assets = 315,000 \div 2.4\\

Assets = 131.250‬

currently the assets are 355,000

we need to redue it to 131,250 so we need a decrease in the order of:

355,000 - 131,250 = 223,750

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.

Explanation:

Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.

Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.

Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.

Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.

Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).

However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.

Suppose that the market for haircuts in a community is perfectly competitive and that the market is initially in long-run equili
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

C) earning an economic profit.

Explanation:

Since the market is in long run equilibrium, the demand = the supply of haircuts, and an increase in the quantity demanded will increase the equilibrium price in the short run, generating economic profits at least until more suppliers enter the market and long run equilibrium is established again. Economic profit doesn't exist when the market is at long run equilibrium.

*Economic profit = accounting profit - implicit costs. So economic profit being $0 in the long run doesn't mean the businesses are not making an accounting profit.
