Answer:

Selection stands for the initial assessment of a candidate in an organization before he is offered a job. In includes several steps like the organization details the KSAOs (Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and other criteria) required for the job; evaluation of a candidate over those criteria; and making an offer to the selected candidate.

Initial assessment methods stand for the starting ways through a candidate or an applicant is screened and shortlisted by the organization which includes ways like- application blanks, biographical information, and reference and background check. These three initial assessment methods are similar to each other in a way that when an organization starts its selection procedure, it reviews the applications of the candidates who all have applied for the particular position in the organization; after the screening and verification of the application form, the organization checks the biographical information of the candidate which becomes a part of application form; and finally the organization conducts a reference and background check to ensure that the candidate has given complete and true information and has not been involve din criminal or unethical actions in his past.

On the other hand, the differences in the three initial assessment methods- application blanks, biographical information, and reference and background check could be that in application blank, the candidate has to furnish his background and work experience details; while in biographical information, the organization checks and verifies it with the details furnished by the candidate in the application form; and when it comes to reference and background check, the organization performs thorough background check of the candidate before offering job to him. This way the three initial assessment methods are similar and different from each other.

If a Starbucks tall latte cost $3.20 in the United States and 3 euros in the Euro area, then purchasing-power parity implies the

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

a. .938 If the exchange rate is less than this, it costs more dollars to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in the Euro area.

Explanation:

We can see in the example that the Euro is cheaper than the dollar in purchasing-power parity. More specifically, the exchange rate is .938 euros per dollar.

This is why it is more expensive to buy a tall latte in the U.S. than in Europe. The Euro is cheaper.

High Flying takes tourists on helicopter tours of Hawaii. Each tourist buys a $190 ticket; the variable costs average $57 per pe

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a. 450 tours per month

b. $850 per month

c. CM Ratio = 0.7

d.

1. Increase

2. Decrease

3. No Effect

Explanation:

The questions are:

a. Compute the average number of tours the company must conduct per month to break even

b. Compute the average sales revenue needed per month to produce a target average profit of $53,200

c. Calculate the contribution margin ratio. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

d. Determine whether the actions that follow will increase, decrease, or not affect the company's break-even point.

1. A decrease in tour prices.

2. The termination of a salaried clerk (no replacement is planned).

3. A decrease in the number of tours sold.

Solution:

a.

Selling Price = 190

VC = 57

Unit Contribution Margin = $133

Fixed Cost = 718,200 yearly, so monthly is:

718,200/12 = 59,850

Break even occurs when by selling tours they will cover monthly fixed cost of 59,850 [each tour will get 133], thus:

59,850/133 = 450 tours per month

b.

718,200 FC yearly, means, monthly:

718,200/12 = $59,850

Profit needed 53,200, so we would need to cover:

53200+59850 = $113,050

Each tour gives Unit CM to be $133, so we would need revenue of:

Rev = 113,050/133 = $850

c.

Contribution margin ratio is the quotient of difference in sales and var expenses to sales.

So,

CM Ratio = (Sales - Var Exp) / Sales

CM Ratio = (190 - 57) / 190 = 0.7

d.

1.

If the tour prices, decrease, there will be less revenue coming in so the break even point would go higher.

So, break even point will increase

2.

If a salaried clerk is terminated, it will decrease the salary costs of the company. This is decrease the fixed costs of the company (annual wages and salaries), thus it will be easier to cover the new, lower, fixed costs. Thus, the break even point will decrease

3.

A decrease in number of tours sold would proportionally change the variables and other costs and revenues associated. If you look at the calculation above, you will see that "number of tours" won't affect the Break Even Point. Thus, this action will create "no effect".

term fixed price contract to build an office tower for $10,000,000. In the first year of the contract Tullis incurs $3,000,000

almond37 [142]

Answer: $750,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Fixed price contract = $10,000,000

Cost incurred in the first year = $3,000,000

Remaining costs to complete = $5,000,000

Tullis billed = $4,000,000 in year 1

Collected by the end of the year = $3,500,000

Percentage of work completed = $\frac{Expenditures\ Incurred\ from\ Inception\ to\ Date}{Total\ Estimated\ Costs\ for\ the\ Contract}$

= $\frac{3}{8} \times 100percent$

= 37.5%

Revenue recognized = 37.5% of $10,000,000

= $3,750,000

Income recognized = Revenue recognized - Cost incurred in the first year

= $3,750,000 - $3,000,000

= $750,000
