Answer:

Neither A nor B.

Explanation:

If a vehicle is considered to be a rigid body, it does not matter which wheels have the motive force applied. The rigidity of the body transmits the force throughout and moves the vehicle the same, regardless.

___

Many factors go into the design of a vehicle and its power train. The amount of force that can bee applied by the tires without spinning is a function of the friction, which is related to the weight on the wheels. Front-engine vehicles tend to have more weight on the front wheels, so driving those wheels makes sense. Other vehicles may have more weight on the rear wheels (due to the weight of a trailer, for example), so rear-wheel drive may make more sense. These choices are sensible because they offer better traction, not because pulling or pushing is "easier"—whatever that means.

If the body is not rigid, it may be easier to pull it than push it. In English, a difficult task is sometimes compared to "pushing a rope uphill." It is difficult because the rope is not a rigid body, so the applied force tends to change its shape, rather than move it in the desired direction.

Answer:

B. Both A and B

Explanation:

We have to remember that is is easier to pull than to push, since FWD is pulling the car, that normally carries out most of the weight behind the front wheels it would be easier its work, now the other technitian says that is much harder to push than to pull, which is basically true so they are both right and sayinf two different angles of the same hypothesis.

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Operating Income 20,600

Explanation:

First Step will be to calculate the contribution of the begining inventory and the contribution of the untis produced in this period:

BEGINNING INVENTORY

70 units at $150 = $10,500

cost of BI                 $3,600

Contribution Begining Inventory         $6,900

get the production of this year contribution

Sales Units              150

Direct Materials 25

Direct Labour     10

Variable MO       15

Variable S&A       6

Total Variable           56

Contribution            94

Unit produced 450

Contribution Produced units 42300

Second, the operating income:

     Contribution Begining Inventory         $6,900

     + Contribution Produced units             42,300

                                    Total contribution = 49,200

 Fixed Cost

fixed MO 15,600

fixed S&A 13,000

                                       Total Fixed Cost    28,600

                                     Operating Income 20,600

Questions: 1. Describe the symptoms of fraud that might be evident to a fellow employee. 2. Recently, his employer has been putt
FrozenT [24]

Answer:and Explanation:

1.The following could be symptoms of fraud:

a.Posh Lifestyle: Daniel Jones drove expensive vehicles. It is clear from his site that Jones enjoyed telling people about his toys. It is likely he showed or talked about his various cars to his fellow employees. A clue to Jones’s fraud is that he began to purchase most of these expensive cars in the last ten months of the fraud, not over the period of time he worked for his company.

b.Analytics: Jones received large amounts of software free of charge to be used on developmental projects. Someone should have discovered that Jones was receiving larger quantities of materials than his colleagues. His company could also require seeing the projects Jones was working on and the reasons why he needed such large amounts of materials.

c.Internal Control deficiency: His company had no internal control checks for amounts under $1,000.

d.Unusual Behaviors: It is not one particular behavior that signals fraud but rather a change in entire behavior. Jones had worked for the company long enough that employees and coworkers would be able to tell if he was experiencing behavioral changes.

2.

a.Positive Consequences: Because managers are encouraged to have tighter control over costs, their scrutiny may prevent potential fraud perpetrators. Also, managers will take more ownership of their department because they will be in charge of a greater portion of the assets and will likely be more careful with expenses, especially if a bonus is given for keeping costs low.

b.Negative Consequences: Managers may be more tempted to commit financial statement fraud, especially if a bonus is attributed to keeping costs low/revenues high. Controls will need to be in place as a preventive measures. other non quantitative measures should be looked upn rather than monetary benefits

3.

a.Pressure: Fraud pressures can be divided into four types: financial pressures, vices, work-related pressures, and other pressures. His desire for luxuries was enough to motivate him to commit fraud.

b.Opportunity: His company had a weakness in its controls. It required approval only for software or hardware of more than $1,000. Jones had ordered software in the past for legitimate purposes. He saw that no one really checked up on him, since he was director of a very secret project.

c.Rationalization: He rationalized his unethical acts in one way or another.

4.It appears that his company tries very hard to create a culture of honesty, openness, and assistance by focusing on hiring honest people. However, his company could benefit from developing a code of ethics. In this situation, there was no overriding of existing controls; rather there were no internal controls in place on purchases of less than $1,000. His company could benefit from having some type of internal control to prevent this type of fraud from occurring in the future.

A whitsleblower mechanism should be in place where when the upper management is at fault external agencies can be contacted for prevention of fraud

Which of the following is NOT a relevant cash flow and thus should NOT be reflected in the analysis of a capital budgeting proje
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "E":  Sunk costs that have been expensed for tax purposes.

Explanation:

Capital budgeting is a planning process used by companies to evaluate which large projects they will invest in and how to finance them. It is sometimes called "<em>Investment Appraisal</em>".  The type of projects experts analyze in capital budgeting include such major investments as building a new plant, buying new machinery, developing a new product, or buying another company, that is why option "<em>E</em>" is meaningless for this type of purpose.
