Answer:

Disability Discrimination

Explanation:

Disability Discrimination is a form of inequity or unfairness that individuals aer forced to witness, endure or suffer as a result of their association with a disabled person, a perceived disability or an actual disability. This discrimination arise in different situations and they are both physical and mental.

Disability discrimination is often witnessed in employment in issues including; recruitments, promotions, trainings, lay-ffs, leaves, benefits and payments.

In this particular question, disability discrimination is a kind of inequity obvious in the fact that Paralympic athletes are only paid 10 percent of what the Olympic athletes receive, despite the fact that they are engaged in similar physical activities. The fact that is the same U.S Olympic Committe (USOC) that pays both set of athletes makes it a form of employment inequity in form of disability discrimination.

Answer:

Ruby should go to college.

Explanation:

Ruby is currently 50 years old and earning $50,000 per year.  

She would like to retire at 67.  

She is thinking of going back to college, to complete a graduate degree.

After completing a graduate degree from the college she would earn $55,000.

Ruby still has 17 years to work and earn.  

Her income will increase by $5,000 after college

The increase in income earned after college until retirement

= $5,000 \times 17

inysia [295]

Answer:

c. $385,958.90

Explanation:

<em>Step 1 Determine the Total Cost Incurred for Both materials and Conversion </em>

<em>Raw Materials</em>

Opening Work In Process                  $200,000

Add Cost Added during the year    $2,000,000

Total                                                   $2,200,000

<em>Conversion</em>

Opening Work In Process                  $200,000

Add Cost Added during the year    $2,500,000

Total                                                   $2,700,000

<em>Step 2 Determine the total equivalent units for materials and conversion</em>

<em>Materials </em>

Closing work in process 100 × 100%                         = 100

Completed and Transferred (600+200-100)×100% =700

Total                                                                            =800

<em>Conversion </em>

Closing work in process 100 × 30%                          =  30

Completed and Transferred (600+200-100)×100% =700

Total                                                                            =730

<em>Step 3 Determine equivalent cost per unit of materials and conversion costs</em>

Materials = $2,200,000/800 = $2,750

Conversion = $2,700,000/730 = $3,699

<em>Step 4 Determine the cost assigned to Ending WIP</em>

Materials  ($2,750×100)           = $275,000

Conversion Cost ($3,699×30) = $110,970

Total                                           =$385970
