Answer:

The correct answer is: the planning fallacy.

Explanation:

The planning fallacy is the paradox referring to projecting the length it will take to accomplish an objective longer than what it could take. The mistaken assumption happens because individuals tend to compare the time it will take them to reach their objectives with the time it took others to achieve the same goals.

Shelly just completed her Master’s in Business Administration. She was at the top of her class. Shelly was offered a job in lots
aalyn [17]

Answer:

Yes. We can agree on the statement that suggests Shelly is a victim of discrimination. Especially, gender discrimination.

Explanation:

Gender discrimination means treating differently and biased based on the gender of a person. in this case, we can see that it has happened because Shelly is a girl.

The job role of secretary has traditionally been stereotyped as a role for "Women" and most of the managerial positions are traditionally perceived to be "male dominant" and not for females.

In this scenario, although Shelly is more than qualified to become the sales manager of this organization, she is not given that position and is given a lesser position that doesn't require much skills.

Looking at it from a logical perspective, we can say that this is mainly due to Shelly being a woman and the administration of this organization thinks that a woman should be a secretary of a manager rather than becoming the  manager.

vichka [17]

Roy's Welding has annual sales of $96,700, a profit margin of 7.45 percent, and a payout ratio of 40 percent. The firm has $11,5
grin007 [14]

Answer: 11.26%

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that Roy's Welding has annual sales of $96,700, a profit margin of 7.45 percent, and a payout ratio of 40 percent ans that the firm has $11,500 of debt and owners' equity of $31,200.

The internal growth rate for this firm assuming the payout ratio remains constant goes thus:

We have to calculate the net income first and this will be:

= $96700 × 7.45%

= $7204.15

The total assets will be debt plus the equity. This will be:

= $11500 + $31200

= $42700

ROA will now be net income divided by

the total assets which will be:

=7204.15/42700

= 0.1687

Retention ratio will be:

= 1-payout ratio

= 1 - 40%

= 1 - 0.4

= 0.6

Therefore, internal growth rate will be:

=(ROA × Retention ratio)/[1-(ROA × Retention ratio)]

=(0.1687 × 0.6)/[1-(0.1687 × 0.6)]

= 0.10122/(1 - 0.10122)

= 0.10122/0.89878

= 0.1126

=11.26%
