28. Which feature is most reliable when comparing an individual to their ID photo?

Alejandro is a computer programmer employed by XYZ Tech Corp. He is Hispanic. He gets an offer from another company that is tryi

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer from the options given is D)

It is not clear why XYZ did not match the other firm's offer.

Explanation:

Alejandro is already an employee at XYZ Tech Corp. If his boss is willing to let him go, it may be because they are unable to match the higher salary being offered by the competition.

Another theory is that Alejandro is no longer very productive in the current company. There is a myriad of possible reasons. However, none of these are hinted in the question.

What we know is that he is Hispanic, He is a computer programmer and he got a better offer which his current company is unable to match.

We cannot posit that this is an issue of statistical discrimination. Why? We don't know that his current boss is not Hispanic as well.

A) Statistical Discrimination arises when agents make use of an individual's measurable trait to draw conclusions regarding another characteristic important to the interaction but more difficult to detect. This clearly is not the case.

B) When the factors surrounding a job suddenly become more adverse, the employee can reject such a change. Sometimes a company may offer such employee(s) additional money to their salary for them to accept such changes. This additional money or benefit is called Compensating Differential.

This also is clearly not the case.

C) Taste-based discrimination simply examines an employer's disposition to hiring a minority applicant. This theory posits that the prejudice of an employer towards people from a minority group will ultimately affect hiring decisions.

Again, this is not the picture painted in the above scenario.

So we are left with option D as the correct answer.

Cheers!

9 . Implied interest rate and period Consider the case of the following annuities, and the need to compute either their expected

vodomira [7]

Answer:

IRR 6% for Jabob

His friend will need 12 years saving cash to obtain their collegue funds.

Explanation:

We will solve for the rate being the annuity of 3 payment of 800

and the present value 2,138.41

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 800

time 3

PV 2,138.41

rate ?

$800 \times \frac{1-(1+x)^{-3} }{x} = 2,138.41\\$

To solve we can use excel, a financial calculator or trial and error

For excel we will do the following:

write the list of cash through the loan life:

-2,138.41

+800

then we write in the empy cell

=IRR(

select the values and press enter

This will give the IRR which is 6%

For the second assignment:

we need to solve for time:

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

C 3,800

time n

rate 0.06

PV $31,897

$3800 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-n} }{0.06} = 31,897\\$

We work out the formula:

$(1+0.06)^{-n} = \frac{31,897\times 0.06}{3,800}$

Now we solve the right side and apply logarithmic properties

$-n = \frac{log0.503636842
}{log1.06}$

-n = -11.77128325

n = 11.77

It will take 12 years to obtain their target amount

Life insurance companies like Prudential hope to get you to worry about how your loved ones will provide for themselves once you

Stels [109]

Answer:

Fear appeal.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Life insurance companies like Prudential hope to get you to worry about how your loved ones will provide for themselves once you have passed away. In order to buttress their point, they paint a very gloomy picture of the possible consequences of not having life insurance, and they make a point of recommending that you act immediately because you never know when it is going to be too late. This is an example of a fear appeal.

A fear appeal can be defined as the act of persuading potential customers to change a risky behavior by highlighting adverse or negative consequences that may arise if they do not subscribe to a service or use a particular product. The main purpose of a fear appeal is to cajole people into buying a product or using a service by using their fears as a motivation.
