A division of Frank Clothiers had 36 openings for assistant store manager last year. As part of their voluntary affirmative acti

on plan, they filled the vacancies with 16 African-Americans, 10 Hispanics, and 10 Whites. The selection process was a multiple-hurdle approach which began with an application form and a test of basic verbal and math skills called the Wonderlic Personnel Test. Applicants who scored 25 (out of 50) or higher on the test were then given an interview with the store managers. Based on the interview performances, the vacancies were filled. The numbers of African-Americans, Hispanics, and Whites who passed the test were as follows:_______.

Mr. Goebel claimed race discrimination based upon Title 7. Frank Clothiers argued that more African-Americans were actually hired than any other protected class. Thus, the company asserts, there is obviously no racial discrimination in the selection process.Can disparate impact theory be used in cases involving subjective selection processes like interviews? What Supreme Court case supports your decision?

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, Disparate Impact Theory can be used in this case relating to the processes of subjective selection such as interrogations. If a discriminatory workplace practice has an unfair and aggressive impact on minorities, it may be in violation of Title VII. Professional individual employees who support on the basis of discretionary judgments without intending to do so are engaging in biased conduct.

The case of Watson V. Fort Worth Bank & Trust will be used to support my claim. Clara Watson turned down a promotion that was contingent on an interview under this scenario.

The U.s. Supreme Court Declared that a Title VII claim to a strategy of subjection enforcement can only be investigated under the unequal care principle. In the majority decision, the Court allowed the principle of (disparate effects) to apply to arbitrarily defined work practices.

Consider a mutual fund with $203 million in assets at the start of the year and with 10 million shares outstanding. The fund inv
balu736 [363]

Answer:

8.66%

Explanation:

The computation of the rate of return for the investor in the fund is as follows:

= (Net assets at the end  + dividend per share  - nav at the beginning of the year) ÷ (nav at the beginning of the year)

where,

Net assets at the end is

= $203 million + $203 million × 7% - ($217.21 million × 0.75%)

= $203 million + $14.21 million - $1.6291 million

= $217.21 million - $1.6291 million

= $215.58093 million

Dividend per share is

= $5 million ÷ 10 million shares

= 0.5

Nav at the beginning of the year is

= $203 million ÷ 10 million shares

= $20.3

Now the rate of return is

= ($215,.58093 + 0.5 - $20.3) ÷ ($20.3)

= 8.66%

Waterway Industries purchased a depreciable asset for $837300 on January 1, 2018. The estimated salvage value is $84000, and the
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

$222,100

Explanation:

Cost = $837,300

Residual value = $84,000  

Useful life = 9 years  

Now,  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{Cost-Residual Value}{Useful life}  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{837,300 - 84,000}{9}  

Annual straight line depreciation = \frac{753,300}{9}  

Annual straight line depreciation = $83,700

Accumulated depreciation for three years i.e., 2018, 2019 and 2020 would be:

Accumulated depreciation = 3 × $83,700

Accumulated depreciation = $251,100

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = Cost - Accumulated depreciation  

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = $837,300 - $251,100

Book value (at the end of year 2020) = $586,200

Revised useful life = 5 years

No. years asset has been used = 3 years

Remaining useful life = 2 years

Revised salvage value = $142,000

Therefore, depreciation expense for the remaining three year would be:

Revised depreciation expense = \frac{Book value at the end of 2020 - Revised residual Value}{Remaining useful life}  

Revised depreciation expense = \frac{586,200 - 142,000}{2}  

Revised depreciation expense = \frac{444,200}{2}

Revised depreciation expense = $222,100
