<span>Option A. Greater consumption leads to unhappiness. Affluenza as a term was used as far back as the 50s by critics of consumerism to describe a painful, contagious, socially transmitted condition of overload, debt, anxiety, and waste resulting from the dogged pursuit of more. This pursuit leads to more and more unhappiness. In their book "When Too Much is Never Enough" Clive Hamilton and Richard Denniss pose the question: "If the economy has been doing so well, why are we not becoming happier?

Answer:
Foreign exchange loss
Explanation:
A foreign exchange gain/loss is normal for companies that operate in foreign countries. E.g. you prepared your financial statements by converting the foreign currency into your local currency, in this case you converted Canadian dollars to US dollars. But then the exchange rate between the currencies changes. If the value of the Canadian dollar's value increased after conversion, then you gained, and an adjustment must be made to show that gain. But if the Canadian dollar's value decreased after the conversion, then you lost (what happened here) and an adjusting entry must be made to report the loss.
In order to correct his, you must:

Answer:
B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%
Explanation:
Here are the options :
A; it offers an expected excess return of .2%A; it offers an expected excess return of 2.2%B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%B; it offers an expected return of 2.4%
to determine which stock is the better buy, we have to calculate the expected return of the stocks using CAPM
According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)
Stock A = 5% + 1.2(9% - 5%) = 9.8%
Stock B = 5% + 1.8(9% - 5%) = 12.20%
The next step is to determine the excess return
stated expected return - calculated expected return = excess return
Stock A's excess return = 10% - 9.8% - 0.2%
Stock B's excess return = 14 - 12.20 = 1.8%
Security B would be considered because it has a higher excess return
Answer:
A group bonus system
Explanation:
In relationship-oriented cultures, group bonuses are very common, and they are not like the regular yearly bonuses given out at Christmas, specially in Japan. In Japan, there are two bonuses per year, one paid during mid-year and the other one at the end of the year. These bonuses can amount to 3-6 months worth of salary, but they are also paid to the whole group of workers. That means that either everyone in the team gets a bonus or no one does.
Relationship-oriented cultures are based upon the well being, motivation and satisfaction of the whole team.
