Answer: b. Positive reinforcement and punishment

Explanation:

Positive reinforcement is a way of encouraging certain behavior by adding something pleasant when the subject does something that it desirable or a stimulus. James giving the employees some incentives (something pleasant) when they meet required targets (something desirable) is therefore positive reinforcement.

Punishment on the other hand, refers to taking away something pleasant in response to the subject doing something that isn't very desirable. In this scenario, James would take away the incentives (pleasant) in response to the employees behaving unprofessionally (isn't very desirable).

krok68 [10]

Answer:

0.36

Explanation:

Cost of equity of 16.8%,

Pretax cost of debt of 8.1%

Return on assets of 14.5%

As per NN proposition: Cost of equity = Return on asset + D/E ratio (Return on asset-Cost of debt)

0.168 = 0.145 + D/E (0.145 - 0.082)

0.168 - 0.145 = D/E (0.064)

0.023 =  D/E (0.064)

D/E = 0.023/0.064

D/E = 0.359375

D/E = 0.36

Thus, the debt-equity ratio is 0.36

Answer:

The correct answer is The fundamental attribution error.

Explanation:

The Fundamental Attribution Error (EFA) is a phenomenon that occurs when we try to explain our own behavior with respect to that of others. Many times we find it hard to understand why a person acts as he acts. And we do not stop to look for the reasons that are the basis of their behavior.

A very clear example is to suspend an exam. If you have to explain to someone why you have suspended the exam, you probably mean that it was very difficult, that you had not rested, did not have time to study or even that the teacher suspended you.

Now imagine that it is another person who suspends and you have approved. Surely if you have to explain why you have suspended you will explain that it is a bit vague, that you have not studied enough and even that you were not interested in approving.
