Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Centralization of authority.

Explanation:

Centralization of authority takes place in companies where high-rank executives take most or all the decisions regarding the operations. Employees voice is not heard under this approach. Managers tend to implement this strategy when they pretend to minimize the percentage of mistakes incurred in the firm. The organization of the company tends to be bureaucratic.

When would a writer choose to use a passive voice?
cluponka [151]

Answer:

In some sentences, passive voice can be perfectly acceptable. You might use it in the following cases:

The actor is unknown:

The cave paintings of Lascaux were made in the Upper Old Stone Age. [We don’t know who made them.]

The actor is irrelevant:

An experimental solar power plant will be built in the Australian desert. [We are not interested in who is building it.]

You want to be vague about who is responsible:

Mistakes were made. [Common in bureaucratic writing!]

You are talking about a general truth:

Rules are made to be broken. [By whomever, whenever.]

You want to emphasize the person or thing acted on. For example, it may be your main topic:

Insulin was first discovered in 1921 by researchers at the University of Toronto. It is still the only treatment available for diabetes.

You are writing in a scientific genre that traditionally relies on passive voice. Passive voice is often preferred in lab reports and scientific research papers, most notably in the Materials and Methods section:

The sodium hydroxide was dissolved in water. This solution was then titrated with hydrochloric acid.

In these sentences you can count on your reader to know that you are the one who did the dissolving and the titrating. The passive voice places the emphasis on your experiment rather than on you.

Note: Over the past several years, there has been a movement within many science disciplines away from passive voice. Scientists often now prefer active voice in most parts of their published reports, even occasionally using the subject “we” in the Materials and Methods section. Check with your instructor or TA whether you can use the first person “I” or “we” in your lab reports to help avoid the passive.

Suppose that the tuna industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $5 per can of tuna and a quantity of 350 million cans pe
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

More; increasing supply and earning profit; entering the market; reducing the profit to zero; horizontal.

Explanation:

The claim by WebMD that the protein in tuna would lead to 2 Years increase in life expectancy would cause the demand to increase at every price.  The demand curve will consequently shift to right.

As a result the firms in short run will supply more and enjoy profits.

Since the firms were facing long run equilibrium and were enjoying zero profit, an increase in price will cause profit to firms.

Since in the short run firms can not enter or exit they will continue producing.  

In the long run attracted by the profit earned by existing firms, the new firms will enter the market till all the firms are having zero profits.

In the tuna industry the new firms will start production, so the industry supply will increase causing a rightward shift in the supply curve.

In the long run the shape of the supply curve of the industry will be horizontal.

A firm currently has a debt-equity ratio of 1/2. The debt, which is virtually riskless, pays an interest rate of 6%. The expecte
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Expected return on equity is 11.33%

Explanation:

Using Weighted Average Cost Capital without tax formula, overall rate of return is given by the formula:

WACC=(Ke*E/V)+(Kd*D/V)

Kd is the cost of debt at 6%

Ke is the cost of equity at 12%

D/E=1/2 which means debt is 1 and equity is 2

D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+2=1/3

E/V=equity/debt+equity=2/1+2=2/3

WACC=(12%*2/3)+(6%*1/3)

WACC=10%

If the firm reduces debt-equity ratio to 1/3,1 is for debt 3 is for equity

D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+3=1/4

E/V=equity/debt+equity=3/1+3=3/4

WACC=10%

10%=(Ke*3/4)+(6%*1/4)

10%=(Ke*3/4)+1.5%

10%-1.5%=Ke*3/4

8.5%=Ke*3/4

8.5%=3Ke/4

8.5%*4=3 Ke

34%=3 Ke

Ke=34%/3

Ke=11.33%

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}&Q1&Q2&Q3&Q4&Total\\$Sales&5,100&7,100&8,100&10,100&30,400\\$Ending Inventory&2,840&3,240&4,040&2,550&-\\$Producction Needs&7,940&10,340&12,140&12,650&43,070\\$Beginning&(2,040)&(2,840)&(3,240)&(4,040)&-\\$Punits to be produced&5,900&7,500&8,900&8,610&30,910\\\end{array}\right]

ending inventory

Q1 = q2 sales x 40% = 7,100 x 40% = 2,840

Q2 = q3 sales x 40% = 8,100 x 40% = 3,240

Q3 = q4 sales x 40% = 10,100 x 40% = 4,040

Q4 = q1 next year x 40%

next year will be 25% than q1 of current year

Q4 = Q1 sales x 1.25 x 40% = 2,550

beginning of Q1 is a given 2,040. Then:

ending of Q1 = beginning of Q2 (when a quarter ends, another begins)

ending of Q2 = beginning of Q3

ending of Q3 = beginning of Q4

The sales plus the desired ending inventory will be all the units needed for the period.

Our beginning inventory subtract out productions needs, as those units are already in stock, we don't need to produce them.
