Answer: The options are given below:

A. a diversity-oriented employer

B. a wide span of control

C. the glass ceiling effect

D. the black swan effect

E. an affirmative action

The correct option is C. The Glass Ceiling Effect

Explanation: The glass ceiling is a term used in organizations, it is a metaphor that is used to refer to an invisible and artificial barrier that prevents women and minority groups from being promoted to top managerial and executive level positions within an organization.

The scenario presented above is a perfect example of the glass ceiling effect, this is because, though Brenda is qualified for the promotion, she is denied it regardless, because "that's just the way things are". As you can see, the reason for the denial of her promotion is not a professional issue, just a tradition to always suppress the advancement of certain categories of people.

Answer:

C) The glass ceiling effect

Explanation:

First of all, the glass ceiling effect is illegal and is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. The glass ceiling effect refers to the resistance that exists in some private companies to let women or minorities advance in the company's hierarchy. Generally promotions favor white men and the careers of Brenda and others unfairly suffer due to this practice.

It was very common during the 1970s and 1980s in American corporations, but the Civil Rights Act of 1991 enabled employees to sue their employers and not just get hired back or receive lost wages. Since employees can sue now for much larger sums of money, things have gotten fairer.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

Amount of Stock F to buy $17,420

Explanation:

The risk-free asset is one minus the weight of the other two assets. Therefore Mathematically, the expected return of the portfolio will be:

E[Rp] = 0.106 = 0.50(0.141) + wF(0.100) + (1 – 0.50 – wF) (0.0555)

0.106 = 0.50(0.141) + wF(0.100) + 0.0555 – 0.02775 – 0.0555wF= 0.1742

Hence, the weight of the risk-free asset is:

wRf= 1 – 0.50 – 0.1742= 0.3258

And the amount of Stock F to buy is:

Amount of stock F to buy = 0.1742($100,000) = $17,420
