Answer:

a) \frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3

b) S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million

c) For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

d) S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million

e) This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

Explanation:

For this case we have the following function for the sales

S(t) = 0.5 t^2 +3t -5

Part a          

For this case we want to find the derivate of S respect to t and we got:

\frac{dS}{dt}=S'(t)= 2(0.5) t +3 = t+3

Part b

For this case we want to find the value of S when t = 4 so if we replace we got:

S(4) = 0.5*(4^2) +3(4) -5=15 million

Part c

For this case we have the total sales $ 15 millions after t =4 months

Part d

For this case we just need to replace t=4 in the derivate and we got:

S'(4) = 4+3 = 7 million

Part e

This value represent the increase in the amount of sales in millions after t=4 months

Now,

The MARCS rate for 5 years property, the depreciation rate is 20%

Therefore,

The depreciation for the year 2019 will  be

= 20% of the Cost of the machine acquired

= 0.20 × $30,000

Ahat [919]

Answer:

This evaluation best exemplifies a "behavior-level" measure.

Explanation:

Donald Kirkpatrick proposed a Four-level training evaluation model for evaluating the impact of training on employees.

The four levels are; Reaction, Learning, Behavior and Results.

The behavior level of Kirkpatrick's model is the third stage and it comes after employees have undergone learning/training. At this stage, the behavior is measured through monitoring and observation to determine if they are implementing what they have learnt.

This gives some insight into how effective the training was.

Therefore GetHelp Inc. by monitoring the phone calls of their customer service representatives are carrying out a "behavior-level" measure.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

On January 1, 2015, East Lansing, Inc, issues $2,000,000 of 10 percent, 5-year bonds that pay interest of $100,000 semiannually.
Trava [24]

Answer:

The answer is option D

Explanation:

The bond can be issued at par, at a discount or at a premium depending on the coupon rate and the market interest. The price of the bond which pays semi annual coupon can be calculated using the formula of bond price. The formula to calculate the price of the bond is attached.

First we need to determine the semi annual coupon payment, periods and YTM.

Semi annual coupon payments = 2000000 * 0.1 * 6/12 = 100000

Semi annual periods = 5 * 2 = 10

Semi annual YTM = 0.08 * 6/12 = 0.04

Bond Price = 100000 * [(1 - (1+0.04)^-10) / 0.04]  +  2000000 / (1+0.04)^10

Bond Price = $2162217.916

The price of the bond is thus $2162290 approx. The difference in answers is due to rounding off.
