Answer and Explanation:

In the U.S., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the authority protecting individuals from discrimination at work in any kind because of <em>race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, language, sexual orientation, impairment</em> differences or any other type of unfair treatment not related to work itself.

Age discrimination could take place when certain groups of individuals are valued more than others because of their youth or because their white hair represents experience. In any situation, unequal opportunities are given which must be sanctioned. Thus:

A) A young lawyer who just finished work on a multimillion-dollar development deal downtown is hired by an economic development firm in lieu of an older lawyer who works on litigation.  

<em>This example does not represent discrimination because the election is based on performance rather than age. </em>

B) A large retail outlet hires a 30-year-old woman to greet customers instead of an 80-year-old woman who has been greeting customers in other stores for a decade.  

<em>This example reflects discrimination because a younger woman is hired mainly based on her age rather than her expertise. </em>

C) The owner of a local, hip smoothie bar in a university town just fired a graduate student who had worked at the bar for three years and instead hired a college sophomore.

<em>This example represents discrimination since a younger student is hired to replace another student who was in the last year of university.</em>

The Three Amigos Restaurant just paid an annual dividend of $4.20 per share and is expected to pay annual dividends of $4.40 and
shusha [124]

Answer:

$33.93

Explanation:

First, find the present value of each year's dividend at 15% required rate of return;

(PV of D1 ) = 4.40 / (1.15) = 3.8261

(PV of D2 ) = 4.50 / (1.15²) = 3.4026

Next, find terminal Cashflow;

D3 = D2 (1+g)

D3 = 4.50 (1.02) = 4.59

(PV of D4 onwards ) = \frac{\frac{4.59}{0.15-0.02} }{(1.15)^{2} } \\ \\ = \frac{35.3077}{1.3225} \\ \\ = 26.6977

Next sum up the PVs to find price;

=3.8261 + 3.4026 + 26.6977

= 33.926

Therefore, this stock is worth $33.93 today

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

Factory overhead cost charged to each unit:

                                                     Fabrication     Assembly

Factory overhead rates                  $10.24             $0.81

Machine hours per unit                   5

Direct labor cost per unit                                       $118.40

Factory overhead cost per unit   $51.20             $95.90

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                         Fabrication            Assembly

Annual overhead costs  $256,000              $480,000

Expected machine hours   25,000                             0

Expected direct labor costs         0               $592,000

Overhead rates                $10.24                  $0.81

                         ($256,000/25,000)             ($480,000/$592,000)

Assuming number of units produced = 5,000

Each unit will consume   5 (25,000/5,000)   $118.40 ($592,000/5,000)

                                    machine hours           direct labor cost

Overhead cost per unit = $51.20                  $95.90

                                     ($10.24 * 5)               ($118.40 * $0.81)

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer: a. 10%

b. -30%

Explanation:

a. What is the percentage change in the price of milk?

Old price = $5.00

New price = $5.50

Percentage change = ($5.50 - $5.00)/$5.00 × 100

= 0.50/5.00 × 100

= 1/10 × 100

= 10%

Percentage change on price = 10%

b. What is the percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal?

Old quantity = 1000

New quantity = 700

Percentage change = (700 - 1000)/1000 × 100

= -300/1000 × 100

= -30%

The percentage change in the quantity demanded for Boo Berry Cereal is -30%.
