Answer:

b. lack of adherence to anonymity policies

Explanation:

An act of whistle-blowing refers to revealing a suspected fraud, misconducts or any non appropriate action or non compliance with established norms.

Whistle- blower refers to the person who chooses to make such a disclosure. Under the act, whistle-blower identity needs to be preserved by the company in question and the person cannot be oppressed by any other employee or senior management officials.

Under Whistle - Blower Protection Act, whistle blowers are protected from any sort of retaliation by their employer upon disclosure of any suspected fraud or misconduct.

In the given case, the identity of Sara as a whistle blower was not protected.

Anonymity refers to an anonymous person in the sense that the name of the whistle blower is not disclosed. The given case points out lack of compliance or adherence to the anonymity policies as Sara's name was revealed by the management.

Inessa [10]

Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

1.5  = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, MPC is 0.3333

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 0.3333 × $70 billion

= $105 million

So the change in real GDP is

= $105 million - $70 million

= $35 million

b. The computation is shown below:

As we know that

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

Multiplier  = 1 ÷ 1 - 0.6

So, multiplier is 2.5

Now the real GDP is

= Multiplier × Government spending

= 2.5 × $16 billion

= -$40 million

c. As we know that

Real GDP = Multiplier × Government spending

$280 billion = Multiplier × $70 billion

So, the multiplier is 4

Now the MPC is

Multiplier = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

4 = 1 ÷ 1 - MPC

So, the multiplier is 0.75

A coffee distributor needs to mix a(n) Costa Rican coffee blend that normally sells for $9.50 per pound with a Kenya coffee blen
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenya coffee

Explanation:

First, we need to know the proportion of every coffee in the mix trying with different percentages until getting the result of $13,49  

 

($9,50*25%)+($13,80*75%)=$12,73  

 

($9,50*10%)+($13,80*90%)=$13,37  

 

($9,50*7,5%)+($13,80*92,5%)=$13,48  

 

($9,50*7,3%)+($13,80*92,7%)=$13,49  

 

So, the percentage of Costa Rican coffee is 7,3% and Kenya coffee is 92,7%  

And we can get the pounds required to get 70 pounds  

 

70*7,3%=5,11

 

70*92,7%=64,89

   

We need 5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenyan coffee to create 70 pounds of mixed coffee that can sell for $13,49 per pound

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: C- Alzania's neighbor exported half its production of cotton that year

Explanation: Alzania produces and consumes​ 500,000 tons of cotton during a year. While, the neighbor which also employs the same number of people in the cotton​ industry, consumed​ 400,000 tons of cotton. There is no information on production of the neighbor. Just by looking at the consumption units we can argue that Alzania has an absolute advantage over the neighbor as it consumes more. However, if there is any information on the amount of exports of cotton from the neighbor then it will weaken the absolute advantage conclusion.

Thus, if <em>Alzania's neighbor exported half its production of cotton that year </em>the total production of cotton is greater of the neighbor than Alzania.
