Answer: C) suboptimization

Explanation:

The Accounts Payable department's system has been optimized yet the Accounts receivable's system has not been optimized. This means that the company as a whole is suboptimized because only one department was optimized and the other was not.

It can lead to problems such as a credit crunch because the company is paying cash faster than it is receiving it. If both departments were optimized, this wouldn't be the case as the payments and receipts would tally.

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

B. FALSE

Explanation:

This economy is currently at its natural rate of unemployment because there is <u>no cyclical unemployment</u>

In macroeconomics, <u>full employment is the level of employment rates where there is no cyclical or deficient-demand unemployment. </u>

<u>The economy is considered to be at full employment when the actual unemployment rate is equal to the natural rate</u>.

Hence, it is false to allege that the economy in the given scenario is not currently at its natural rate of unemployment

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

C. Statute of limitations.

Explanation:

Statute of limitations are laws which states the time limit of when legal proceedings must be initiated between concerned parties from the date in which alleged offence was perpetrated.

In statue of limitations, the time limit for somebody is wronged to initiate legal action is not fixed in all jurisdiction. It means that depending on the nature of the alleged offense under statute of limitation, time allowed to institute legal actions varies.

Example of statue of limitation is that for certain states, the time limit to initiate legal case say on fraud is two years. It means that one must bring up the case in a court of law within the stipulated two years period. Once the two year grace elapse, one can no longer sue for fraud in the court of law.

Although there is no time limit for certain offence like murder case, sex offence with minor etc.

As in the case above, the judge threw away the case because according to the law of statute of limitation, a party that is wronged can only sue the wrong doer within the stipulated time as spelt out within the jurisdiction where the alleged offence was committed.

A corporation makes an investment of $20,000 that will provide the following cash flows after the corresponding amounts of time:
s344n2d4d5 [400]

A) The company should not invest in the provided project due to the negative NPV of the project.

B) The NPV of the project comes out to be (286).

<h3>What is NPV?</h3>

NPV is an abbreviated form of Net present value and computed by deducting the cash outflows from cash inflows at the present value.

Given values:

Cash flow of year 1: $10,000

Cash flow of year 2: $10,000

Cash flow of year 3: $2,000

Cash outflow (cost of investment) =$20,000

Step-1 Computation of PV of cash inflows of every year:

PV of year 1 = Cash inflow of year 1 / (1+ interest rate)^ 1

                    = $10,000 / (1+0.07) ^ 1

                    = $10,000 X 0.934579

                    = $9,346

PV of year 2 = Cash inflow of year 1 / (1+ interest rate)^ 2

                    = $10,000 / (1+0.07) ^ 2

                    = $10,000 X 0.873438

                    = $8,735

PV of year 3= Cash inflow of year 1 / (1+ interest rate)^ 3

                   = $2,000 / (1+0.07) ^ 2

                    = $2,000 X 0.816297

                    =$1,633

Step-2 Computation of total amount of PV of cash inflows:

\rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ cash \rm\ inflows = \rm\ PV \rm\  of \rm\  year \rm\  1 + \rm\  PV \rm\ of \rm\ year \rm\ 2 + \rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ year \rm\ 3\\\rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ cash \rm\ inflows =\$9,346 + \$8,735 + \$1,633\\\rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ cash \rm\ inflows =\$19,714

Step-3 Computation of NPV:

\rm\ NPV=\rm\ PV \rm\ of \rm\ cash \rm\ inflows- \rm\ Cost \rm\ of \rm\ investment\\\rm\ NPV=\$19,714-\$20,000\\\rm\ NPV=\$ (286)

Therefore, the NPV comes out to be a negative amount of 286, and hence, the company should not accept the project.

If the monthly income of the IBM employees follows a SYMMETRICAL NORMAL distribution, with a median of $5000 and a standard devi
AURORKA [14]

Answer:  mean monthly income = $5000

====================================================

Explanation

In any normal distribution, the median and mean are the same value.

-------------

The proof is as follows:

If mean > median was the case, then the distribution would be skewed to the right (ie positively skewed). The right tail is pulled longer than the left tail. But this would contradict the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean > median must not be the case.

If mean < median, then the distribution would be skewed to the left (negatively skewed). Visually this pulls the left tail longer than the right tail. Like in the previous paragraph, this contradicts the symmetrical nature of the normal distribution. So mean < median must not be the case.

Since mean > median cannot be true, and neither can mean < median, this must indicate mean = median.

-------------

So in short, any symmetrical distribution always has mean = median and they are at the very center of the distribution.

The sales budget for Modesto Corp. shows that 21,900 units of Product A and 23,900 units of Product B are going to be sold for p
rewona [7]

Answer:

22,290 units

Explanation:

Product A sales (S) = 21,900 units

Product A selling price = $11.90

Product A beggining inventory (I)= 3,900

Product A ending inventory (E) = 3,900 x 1.10 = 4,290

Budgeted purchases of product A must account for all of the projected sales and the desired ending inventory, assuming that the company already has a beginning inventory at hand. Budgeted Purchases of product A are given by:

B = S+E-I\\B= 21,900+4,290-3,900\\B= 22,290\ units
