Amanda, one of Abigail's fellow workers at BOSS, was surprised to learn that her department's schedule was changed from a standa

rd 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. day, with an hour for lunch, to a work day that began at 8 a.m. and ended at 6 p.m., and that included a two-hour lunch. BOSS was located in the far suburbs, and there was little Amanda could do during the two-hour lunch period. What especially upset Amanda was the realization that when she got off work at 6 p.m. and drove 30 minutes to pick up her child at day care, she would be at least an hour late for daycare and would have to pay a very costly penalty. There were no day care facilities closer to the job, so Amanda had little recourse. She raised this concern to her supervisor, and when she was told that the new schedules were going to remain 8-6 with a two-hour lunch, Amanda began a campaign to pressure BOSS to change that schedule back. She wrote letters to the local newspaper, and called a local TV station. When Amanda's employer learned of Amanda's actions, it discharged her under Employment at Will (EAW). Amanda filed suit for wrongful discharge, claiming that this was a public policy exception to EAW because it constrained her Constitutional First Amendment right to Freedom of Speech. Which of the following is most correct?
a. Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.
b. Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge unless the court decides that Amanda had legal standing to bring the case.
c. Amanda will win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge unless the court decides that BOSS had legitimate business necessity for changing the schedule.
d. Amanda will win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.

Answer: A. Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.

Explanation:

Based on the information that was provided, Amanda will not win her lawsuit for wrongful discharge.

The employer-at-will simply means that an employer can dismiss his or her worker as long as it's not illegal. In this case, Amanda will not win because she's hired "at will," and in such cases, the courts will deny her any loss claim that results from her dismissal.

Certain adjusting entries made at the end of an accounting period are reversed at the beginning of the following period Required
frutty [35]

Answer:

No reversing entry is needed as they are all posted correctly

Explanation:

1. Rent Expense 1,000 Prepaid Rent 1,000

This entry is correct because it rent had been prepaid, then the entry would have been to debit 'Prepaid Rent'and credit Cash/Bank. However at the end of the period when rent is accrued, you debit 'rent expense' and credit 'prepaid rent'

2.Taxes Expense 1,750 Taxes Payable 1,750

This entry is correct because at the end of the period when Tax is accrued, you debit 'Tax expense' and credit 'Tax payable' because tax is always paid much later in a future period not the current period

3. Deferred Rent Revenue 1,550 Rent Revenue 1,550

This entry is correct because at the end of the period when rent income is earned, but has been paid for before: you debit 'Deferred Rent Revenue' and credit 'Rent Revenue' because (at least a portion of) the deferred rent revenue is now earned.

4. Salaries Expense 150 Salaries Payable 150

This entry is correct because at the end of the period when Salary is accrued, you debit 'Salary expense' and credit 'Salaries payable'

PC​ Bell, a computer manufacturer that sells computer systems directly to​ customers, buys a computer chip for ​$150​, software
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The price is $1,540      

Explanation:

The reason is that the profit share is $1,100 and the cost includes computer chip, software and printer which are worth $150, $250 and $40.

The price can be calculated using the following formula:

Price - Cost = Profit

Here profit is $1100 and cost is $440 (150+250+40)

By putting the values we have:

Price - $440 = $1100

Price = $1100 + $440 = $1540

Consider the portfolio choice theory of money demand. how do you think the demand for money will be affected during a hyperinfla
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The demand for money decreases sharply.

Explanation:

The portfolio choice and Keynes's theory of demand for money both proposes that as the returns expected on money falls, its demand also falls. When there is an increase in interest rate, it leads to a decrease in the expectation placed on returns on money thus leading to a decrease in demand for money.

On December 31, 2020, the Bennett Company had 100,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. On July 1, 2021, the compan
matrenka [14]

Answer:

$5.31

Explanation:

Earnings per share = Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock ÷ Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding

<em>where,</em>

<u>Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock is :</u>

Net Income                                                                       $650,000

Less Preference Stock dividend                                       ($71,000)

Earnings Attributable to Holders of Common Stock      $579,000

<em>and</em>

<u>Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding :</u>

Common Stocks at Beginning outstanding                                  100,000

Stocks Sold at Weighted Average (18,000 / 2)                                9,000

Weighted Average Number of Common Stocks Outstanding    109,000

therefore,

Earnings per share = $579,000 ÷  109,000

                                = $5.31

The 2021 basic earnings per share is $5.31.

Your parents will retire in 19 years. They currently have $300,000, and they think they will need $1 million at retirement. What
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

rate = 6.54%

Explanation:

we need to find the rate at which a capital of 300,000 becomes 1,000,000 in a period of time of 19 years.

<u>So we build the following equation:</u>

300,000 (1+r)^{19} =1,000,000

(1+r)^{19} =1,000,000 \div 300,000

r=\sqrt[19]{1,000,000 \div 300,000}-1

rate = 0.065417765 = 6.54% after rounding

This will be the rate my parent will require to generate 1,000,000 in 19 years with their current savings of 300,000.
