Answer: 9.04%

Explanation:

1 year rate today = 5% = 0.05

2 years rate today = 7% = 0.07

Maturity of longer bond = 2

The ending return if the 2 years bond are bought will be thesame as the needed return on series of a year bond which will be 1.1449

The market's forecast for 1-year rates 1 year from now will be calculated as:

= 1.05(1+X) = 1.1449

1.05 + 1.05X = 1.1449

1.05X = 1.1449 - 1.05

1.05X = 0.0949

X = 0.0949/1.05

X = 0.090381

X = 9.04%

Which of the following is an organizational factor that increases illegitimate political behavior?
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

B) high trust zero-sum reward practice

Explanation:

Zero sum reward practices are generally not that successful since usually only a few are benefited while several people are left out of the benefits, or lose. If someone gains a benefit at the expense of others, it will always cause friction within the organization. That friction can lead to illegitimate political behavior, which is behavior that breaks implied rules. The regular "losers" in zero sum reward practices may be tempted to break the rules or cheat in order to obtain the benefits.

For example, if the same person is always selected as the employee of the month, his/her "losing" coworkers may start to sabotage his/her work.

Marianna [84]

Answer: c. $1,650 unfavorable

The direct labor rate variance shows the difference between the cost of direct labor that the company thought it would incur vs what it actually incurs for the period.

Formula is:

Direct labor rate variance = Actual cost of direct labor - Standard cost of actual hours of direct labor

= Actual hours * (Actual cost - Standard cost)

= 5,500 * (24 - 23.70)

= $1,650 unfavorable

Unfavorable because the actual cost incurred was more than the cost anticipated.
