Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": it has the potential to generate larger applicant pools.

Explanation:

Internal recruiting is the process by which companies try to fill a vacancy using their current workforce. External recruiting, on the other hand, looks for offering the job position available to individuals from outside the companies who could bring new ideas and a set of skills to improve the firm's efficiency.

<em>The main advantage of external recruiting relies on the number of applicants</em>. <em>While internal recruiting counts on a limited number of employees, external recruiting receives an infinite number of applications to fill a few vacancies.</em>

Answer:

d. it has the potential to generate larger applicants pools.

Explanation:

A business can choose to fill a vacancy by internal recruitment if it wants to hire or fill the vacancy immediately or if the company work is of complex nature that only internal employees can understand quickly and hiring external will consume time for learning and development. The cons of internal recruitment includes that a company can limit the new talent and fresh blood. The advantage of external recruitment is that it has potential to generate larger pool of applicants and bring new talent, more skilled or qualified candidates can be hired to the company.

5. Refer to the original data. By automating, the company could reduce variable expenses by $3 per unit. However, fixed expenses
gogolik [260]

Question Completion:

Due to erratic sales of its sole product - a high capacity battery for laptop computers - PEM, Inc., has been experiencing difficulties for some time.  The contribution format income statement for the most recent month is given as follows:

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit) $585,000

Variable expenses                              409,500

Contribution margin                             175,500

Fixed expenses                                    180,000

Net operating margin                           ($4,500)

Answer:

PEM, Inc.

a1) New CM ratio = 40%

a2) Break-even point in unit sales and dollars sales

i) Break-even point in unit sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution per unit

= $237,000/$12

= 19,750 units

ii) Break-even point in dollars sales = Fixed Expenses/Contribution margin ratio

= $237,000/0.4

= $592,500

b. Contribution format income statements, based on sales of 20,800 units:

                                                             Without                With

                                                         Automation         Automation

Sales (20,800 units at $30 per unit) $624,000    $624,000 (20,800 * $30)

Variable expenses (20,800 at $21)     436,800       374,400 (20,800 * $18)

Contribution margin (20,800 * $9)      187,200       249,600 (20,800 * $12)

Fixed expenses                                    180,000       237,000

Net operating margin                            $7,200       $12,600

c) I would recommend that the company should automate its operations.  It will generate more net operating margin, equal to $5,400 ($12,600 - $7,200), when it automates than when it does not, assuming that it expects to sell 20,800 units.  

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable expenses reduction = $3 per unit

Old variable expenses per unit = $21 ($409,500/19,500)

New variable expenses per unit = $18 ($21 - $3)

New variable expenses = $351,000 ($18 * 19,500)

New Contribution Margin per unit = $12 ($30 - $18)

New Contribution margin ratio = $12/$30 * 100 = 0.4 or 40%

Old Fixed Expenses = $180,000

New Fixed Expenses = $237,000 ($180,000 + $57,000)

You are evaluating a fund that had an annual average return of 7.2%. During that time, the average risk-free rate was 1.5% and t
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Risk free rate(Rf) = 1.5%

Market return(Rm) = 8%

Beta(β) = 0.8

ER(P) = Rf  + β(Rm – Rf)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(8-1.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 0.8(6.5)

ER(P) = 1.5 + 5.2

ER(P) = 6.7%

Alpha = Annual average return - ER(P)

         = 7.2% - 6.7%

         = 0.5%

Explanation:

In this case, we will calculate the expected return on the stock based on CAPM. Thereafter, we will calculate alpha by deducting the expected return from annual average return.

Suppose that during the past year, the price of a laptop computer rose from $2,750 to $2,880. During the same time period, consu
icang [17]

Answer: Elasticity of demand is 7.06

Explanation:

P1= $2,750

P2=$2,880

Q1=446,000

Q2=321,000

Elasticity = \frac{Q2 - Q1}{\frac{Q1 + Q2}{2} } * \frac{\frac{P1 + P2}{2} }{P2 - P1}

Elasticity = \frac{321,000 - 446,000}{\frac{446,000 + 321,000}{2} } * \frac{\frac{2750 + 2880}{2} }{2880 - 2750}

Elasticity = \frac{-125,000}{383,500} * \frac{2815}{130}

Elasticity = - 0.3259*21.6598

Elasticity = -0.76

Thus, elasticity of demand for laptops is 7.06. This means that laptops are highly price elastic as it is greater than 1.
