b. Americans with Disabilities Act
c. Pregnancy Discrimination Act
d. Age Discrimination in Employment Act
e. All of these answers are correct
Answer:
The law/regulation which applies to the benefits the company may utilize is:
a. Family Medical Leave Act
Explanation:
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, gives employees the opportunity to take leave from their work for specific family and medical reasons without affecting their normal annual leave. Unlike the other laws mentioned, which attempt to prohibit discrimination against persons with disabilities, (Americans with Disabilities Act 1990), against Pregnancy (Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1978), and against age (Age Discrimination in Employment Act 1967), the Family and Medical Leave Act provides benefits to employees.
Answer:
Dollar Tree = $5,643
Target = $11,297
Explanation:
For dollar tree, using the given equation:
13,501 = 7,858 + stockholder's equity
Stockholder's equity = 13,501 - 7,858
= $5,643
For target, using the given equation:
41,290 = 29,993 + stockholder's equity
Stockholder's equity = 41,290 - 29,993
= $11,297
Answer:
It is convenient to make the changes.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Selling price= $57.60 per unit.
Direct materials= $22
Direct labor= $24
Variable overhead= $11.00
Fixed overhead= $11.00.
New costs:
Direct material cost= 22*1.2= $26.4
Direct labor cost= 24*1.2= $28.8
<u>I suppose that the selling price will increase by $40.</u>
To determine whether the changes increase profit or not, we need to calculate the unitary contribution margin per unit for both options:
Contribution margin= selling price - unitary variable cost
Actual Contribution margin:
Contribution margin= 57.6 - (22 - 24 - 11)= 0.6
New contribution margin:
Contribution margin= 97.60 - (26.4 - 28.8 - 11)= $31.4
Answer:
Economist A
Explanation:
Elasticity is a measure of investment sensitivity. If the investment is elastic, a slight increase in price (interest rate) will decrease the amount of investment. Conversely, if the investment is inelastic, a change in interest rates will not considerably affect the investment rate. The calculation of elasticity consists of the change in the investment rate divided by the change in the interest rate. If the calculation of elasticity is less than 1, it is considered ineastic, while investments with elasticity above 1 are considered elastic. Thus, economist A believes that the investment rate is elastic to the interest rate, while economist B believes the opposite. So for economist A the rise in interest rates will affect the investment rate of the economy (and hence the macroeconomic environment) because in his view investment is elastic. Economist B does not believe that interest rate fluctuations will affect demand for investments.
