Answer:

A. The number of houses that an individual owns

Explanation:

The use of normal distribution in option A would produce an error. That is the number of houses individuals own.

We know that people can own 1 house or more than 1 house or no house at all. But a person can never be said to have less than 0 houses.

Option a is going to be skewed positively. Using Normal distribution would give us an error.

One of the most useful ways to break the glass ceiling in organizations is to _____. Select one: a. eliminate status-blind emplo

kobusy [5.1K]

(A) Eliminate status-blind employment practice.

What is a glass ceiling?

A glass ceiling is a metaphor used to represent an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy.
The metaphor was first coined by feminists in reference to barriers in the careers of high-achieving women.

In the United States, the term is sometimes extended to include barriers to minority women's and minority men's advancement.
Minority women in white-majority countries frequently face the greatest challenges in "breaking the glass ceiling," because they are at the convergence of two historically marginalized groups: women and people of color.
The phrase "bamboo ceiling" was coined by East Asian and East Asian American news outlets to describe the barriers that all East Asian Americans encounter in furthering their careers.

After reading all the questions option (A) is the most useful way to break the glass ceiling.

Therefore, the correct option is (A) Eliminate status-blind employment practice.

The town of Sanford, Maine, decided to auction off a plot of land owned by the town. The town advertised that it would accept bi

rodikova [14]

Answer:

The answer is: Both parties could win, depending if there were other conditions established for the auction.

Explanation:

Usually when an auction is carried out there are conditions established beforehand by the auctioneer that must be fulfilled in order for the sale to be completed.

In this case, since we don´t know what other conditions the town of Sanford included in the auction, if any other condition at all, we can´t conclude which party could win the lawsuit. For instance if a reserve was required but Arthur and Arlene didn´t do the reserve deposit, then they will obviously lose. The same happens with other established conditions like a minimum price set, etc. But if no other condition established, then Arthur and Arlene could win.

Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $26.10 million cost

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Original Cost = $26.10

Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years

Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million

Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $14.5 million

Remaining Life = 6 - 4

Remaining Life = 2 Years

New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life

New Amortization = $14.5/2

New Amortization = $7.25 million

Journal Entry

Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million

Patent Credit - $7.25 million

RE 46,020

Total Equity 106,020

Total Assets: 212,720‬ Total Liab + E 212,720

Explanation:

for RE we need to calculate the net income

income:

Service revenue 14,700

Insurance expense ( 780 )

Depreciation expense ( 5,300 )

Interest expense ( 2,600 )

Net income: 6,020

RE 40,000 + 6,020 = 46,020

for note payable we split the current and long term portion

93,600 - 13,600 = 80,000 long term debt

te rest is self-explanatory
