<span>Interest groups are associations of individuals or organisations that on the basis of one or more shared concerns, attempts to influence public policy in its favour usually by lobbying members of the government. Interest groups influence on policy making is not a corrupt or illegitimate activity per se, but a key element of the decision-making process. However, disproportionate and opaque interest group influence may lead to administrative corruption, undue influence, and state capture, favouring particular interest groups at the expense of public interest</span>

A company began the year with assets of $117,000, liabilities of $28,500, and stockholders' equity of $88,500. During the year a

algol [13]

Answer:

Change in liabilities = $33,300

Explanation

<em>According to the accounting equation, assets is equal to liabilities + equity. And this equation can be re-written as:</em>

Liabilities = assets - equity

Liabilities at the end of the period = assets at the end - equity at the end

Assets at the end= 117,000 + 56,700= 173,700

Equity at the end = 88,500 + 23,400 = 111,900

Liabilities at the end = 173,700 - 111,900=61800

Change in liabilities = Liabilities at the end - Liabilities at the beginning

Change in liabilities = 61,800 - 28,500= $33,300

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Short Interest and the Advance/Decline line

Explanation:

The Short Interest and the advance/descent line, also known as the AD line, is an indicator of market amplitude that gives the same weight to all the values of an index or market. The advance/descent line, also known as the AD line, is an indicator of market breadth that gives the same weight to all the values of an index or market.

The advance / descent line is an indicator of market breadth because it informs us of the general market movement. Similarly, when we say that it gives the same weight to all stock index values, we are saying that for the forward / down line all values are equally important.

What really interests this indicator, being of market breadth, is to see if the price movement is accompanied by the movement of the indicator.

Outline a compensation package that you would consider ideal in motivating an employee, recognizing performance, and assisting t

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

Job promotion and official recognition in form of an award are the motivational package I will give to the employee

Explanation:I

If an employee's performance after appraisal and due diligence is commendable because of its contribution to our organization goals, intrinsically, such person deserves to be promoted to a higher rank because his contributions are not premised on lip service and service seeking recognition.

On the contrary, when an employee's performance is premised on extrinsic factors after conducting necessary appraisal, such an employee simply does that because of the reward he or she seek, and not necessarily the passion attaches to the job. Hence, such employee can be given material compensation which can be monetized but not necessarily a job promotion.

If a firm is making an economic profit of zero:__________.

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": the firm should change to a different line of business.

Explanation:

Economic profit is the difference between the revenue a firm earns from sales and the firm's total opportunity costs. It is important to distinguish between accounting profit and economic profit. Accounting profit is total revenue minus the explicit costs of producing goods or services. Economic profit includes the opportunity costs a company losses or gains by choosing a route to pursue revenue. If a firm has an economic profit of zero, it implies the company should start looking for alternative ways to generate income.

An individual has $2000 in physical assets, and $600 in cash initially. This person faces the following loss distribution to the

RUDIKE [14]

Answer with Explanation:

Probability Expected Loss Loss Forecast

0.5 0 0

0.1 200 20

0.2 400 80

0.1 1000 100

0.1 2000 200

1.00 Total 400

Now,

A. Final Wealth with no Insurance = Physical Assets of the person + Cash Assets - Total Loss Forecast

By putting values, we have:

Final Wealth with no Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $400 = $2,200

B. For Full insurance, we will not consider expected loss because we will receive Insurance Premium instead:

Final Wealth with Full Insurance = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium

By putting values, we have:

Final Wealth with Full Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $600 = $2,000

C. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium For Partial Coverage - Deductible

By putting values, we have:

Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles = $2,000 + $600 - $450 - $200 = $1,950

D. Final Wealth with 75% Co-insurance = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium - Co-payment

By putting values, we have:

Final Wealth with 75% Co-Insurance = $2,000 + $600 - $450 - (75% * $400)

= $1,850

E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit = Physical Assets + Cash Assets - Insurance Premium - Maximum Loss Expected

By putting values, we have:

= $2,000 + $600 - $450 - (Probability 0.1 * $2,000) = $1950

From the above, we can say that the best option here in descending order is as under:

1. A. Final Wealth with no Insurance

2. B. With Full insurance

3. C. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $200 deductibles & E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit

4. E. Final Wealth with Partial Insurance and $1,000 Upper Limit
