Answer:
1. c. a consolidation
2. a. all of Shale's and Tierra's assets
3. c. all of Shale's and Tierra's debts
Explanation:
1. When multiple companies join up together to form a new company, this is called a Consolidation which is what Shale Shale Oil Corporation and Tierra Frakking Company did when they formed Unified Resources, Inc.
2. In a Consolidation, the previously separate companies move in with all their debt and assets to form the new company. As such, Unified Resources acquires all of Shale's and Tierra's assets.
3. As previously stated, in a Consolidation, the previously separate companies move in with all their debt and assets to form the new company. As such, Unified Resources assumes all of Shale's and Tierra's debts as well.
Answer:
-1.33
Explanation:
Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good X to changes in price of good Y.
Cross price elasticity of demand = percentage change in quantity demanded of good X / percentage change in price of good Y
Percentage change in quantity demanded = (1700 / 1350) - 1 = 0.2593 = 25.93%
Percentage change in price = (1.65 / 2.05) - 1 = -0.1951 = -19.51%
25.93% / -19.51% = -1.33

Answer:
- I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting and do some research.
Explanation:
<em>I think Ben is right</em>. Even though the statement is technically correct, it may mislead customers.
Customers may interpret the phrase "<em>no sugar added</em>" as if the product did not contain any sugar.
Thus, customers interested in drinking beverages without sugar at all might think they are "safe" consuming the smoothie beverage, when in reallity each <em>smoothie's bottle contains sugar 35 g of naturally occurring sugars from the fruit.</em>
Customers deserve to be certain on what they are buying, thus the labels must be a sincere help for them, and not ambiguos at all.
This is a "gray zone" and an example of what in ethics is called a dilema.
I think the decision should be shared by a wider team and based on some research.
I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting, where the subject is widely discussed. Also, I would suggest Ben to do some research, look for precedents about labeling in the industry, and try to learn the opinion of the FDA about this sensitive matter.
Answer: 0.2
Explanation:
The Gini coefficient also referred to as the Gini index is a statistical measure of distribution that depicts economic inequality through the measure of income distribution or wealth distribution among the population. Gini coefficient ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 meaning perfect equality and 1 meaning perfect inequality. Gini coefficient values over 1 are also possible as a result of negative income or wealth.
Since the formula for the GINI coefficient in the Lorenz curve has been given as: (Yellow Area) / (Yellow Area + Green Area) and yellow area is 0.1 and green area is 0.4.
Gini coefficient= 0.1 /(0.1+0.4)
= 0.1/0.5
= 0.2
