At which step of the performance planning and appraisal process would an employee be placed on a performance improvement plan?

The operators of adult bookstores got together and each agreed to contribute $1,000 to a fund for use in lobbying the city counc

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The operators have not violated the antitrust laws because they are only collaborating to lobby the government

Explanation:

The antitrust law in the U.S. can be described as a group of federal and state government laws enacted to regulate the activities of business firms in order to enhance competition to the advantage of consumers.

The antitrust law aims to collusive activities that suppress trade, any merger and acquisition that would reduce competition, and prevent the the abuse of monopoly power.

Since the activity of the operators of adult bookstores does not fall under what the antitrust law aims to prevent but it is just a collaboration to lobby the government, they have a good defense that they have not violated the antitrust laws.

Weighted Average Cost Flow Method Under Perpetual Inventory System

Fudgin [204]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the cost od merchandised sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale is presented in the attachment below;

The perpetual inventory is the system which updated the inventory as on a regular basis

While on the other hand, the weighted average cost method is the method in which the average cost is calculated after each every purchase is made

In the calculation below:

1. The weighted average cost of $30.90 come from

= (Total inventory cost) ÷ (Total quantity)

= ($180,000 + $1,674,000) ÷ (60,000 units)

= $30.90

1. The weighted average cost of $31.60 come from

= (Total inventory cost) ÷ (Total quantity)

= ($463,500 + $674,100) ÷ (36,000 units)

= $31.60

Maria is a hard-working college sophomore. One Sunday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 100 practice problems

sdas [7]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

i. The marginal, or additional, gain from Maria’s first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is 40 problems.

ii. The marginal gain from Maria’s third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is 20 problems

iii. 2 hours working on problems, 2 hours reading (c)

Explanation:

i. The marginal gain from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM is calculated thus:

work done at 8:00 AM = 0 problems

Work done at 9:00 AM = 40 problems

Marginal gain = (Work done at 9:00 AM) - (work done at 8:00) = 40 - 0 = 40 problems

ii. work done at 10:00 AM = 70 problems

work done at 11:00 AM = 90 problems

Marginal gain = 90 - 70 = 20 problems

iii. To get the best exam score, the most number of problems possible in total must be answered within the 4-hour period, and this is determined as follows:

we are told that Maria gets tired as time progresses and the number of questions answered reduces we notice the following numbers of questions answered in each hour:

8:00 AM to 9:00 AM = 40 - 0 = 40 problems (hour 1)

9:00 AM to 10:00 AM = 70 - 40 = 30 problems (hour 2)

10:00 AM to 11:00 AM = 90 - 70 = 20 problems (hour 3)

11:00 AM to Noon = 100 - 90 = 10 problems (hour 4)

Also, we are told that;

1 hour of reading = 25 problems

Comparing the reading and solving problems, we see that the number of problems solved in hour-1 and hour-2 (40 and 30 respectively) are more than the equivalent number of problems solved in reading for 1 hour, while hour-3 and hour-4 (20 and 10 respectively), have lesser equivalent number of problems each, than reading for one hour. Therefore to make the most out of the 4 hours, Maria will spend the first 2 hours solving problems and the next two hours reading, giving a total of: 40 + 30 + 25 + 25 = 120 problems solved.
