Answer:

Ad-hoc report

Explanation:

From the question we are informed about how Daniel was surprised his store ran out of marshmallows so quickly. This typically does not happen during the spring, so in this case, he runs an Ad-hoc report to gather unplanned information to support if he should stock up on marshmallows.

Ad hoc report can be regarded as

a report that is created just for a one-time-use I e for a specific purpose.

With the use of BI tool there is possibility of anyone in an organization answering a specific business question and give presentation of that data in a visual format, even without given IT staff problems, Ad hoc report is different from structured report.

B

Bid rotation is when contractors collude and  take turns in winning a bid. Colluding contractors submit bids but take turns being the low bidder.

Bid-tailoring is when an employee in collusion with a contractor tailors bid specifications to give an unfair advantage to a certain contractor.

pogonyaev

Answer:

E) Congressional incumbents

Explanation:

PAC money is directed primarily toward congressional incumbents, and this can easily be verified on the web. For example, both Nancy Pelosi, a democrat, and Brian Fritzpatrick, a republican, are among the top incumbents by number of money received from PACs, thus, party affiliation is not as important as it is incumbent status.

This is probably because incumbents are more likely to win elections, whether in the senate, the house, or even, the presidency.
