Answer:
E) Market Exchange
Explanation:
Market exchange refers to at least two people or firms trading one good or service for another. In this case, the theater group is trading a free show and other promotional activities (standup comedy nights, and volunteer work) in exchange for higher membership to their group or higher attendance to their shows.
A trade does not necessarily imply a money exchange, it can also include goods or services that provide utility for the other party. For example, an increase in group membership will help the theater group perform better.

Answer:
It's c.
Explanation:
Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) is a method used in program management. It analyzes the time required to complete each task in a project and so tries to determine the minimum time to complete a project. It was developed by the US Navy in 1957.
In PERT analysis:
- there are 3 time estimates for every activity: optimistic, pessimistic, and most likely
-
you have to find the Critical Path. The Critical Path is the longest path of scheduled activities that must be met in order to execute a project. It is important to know because any problems on the critical path can prevent a project from moving forward and be delayed. Therefore only critical activities can contribute to the project variance.
Answer: Not necessarily: The debt ratios are not directly comparable, since each company is in a different industry.
Explanation:
We cannot authoritatively state that even though Boeing has such a high debt rate, that it is a riskier company than either Microsoft or PG&E. This is due to the drawback in ratio analysis of bias if compared across different industries.
Ratio analysis best works when comparing companies in the same industry because their situations will be similar. Comparing across industries can be misleading because different industries operate in different ways. In the Airplane manufacturing business for instance, having a high amount of debt due to having the tangible assets to back it up might be a normal thing.
The debt ratios are therefore not directly comparable because each company is in a different industry.
