Answer:

The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989

Explanation:

The Supreme Court established that the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 covered not only employees from government entities, but also employees from private organizations (Lawson v. FMR LLC, March 4, 2014).

Answer:

Sarbanes-Oxley Act

Explanation:

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is a federal law that helps to audit and regulate financials for public companies.

It cracks down on corporate fraud.  It banned company loans to executives and gave job protection to whistleblowers. The Act gives power to the independence and financial literacy of corporate boards.

Lawmakers created the legislation specifically to help shield shareholders, employees and the public from accounting errors and fraudulent financial practices.

Former U.S. President George W. Bush, who signed the act into law on July 30, 2002, called the act "the most far-reaching reforms of American business practices since the time of Franklin Delano Roosevelt."

                                                        A                           B                            C

Sales price                                  $65.50                $57.50                  $75.25

Less Direct material cost            ($11.25)                ($8.90)                 ($22.75)

Contribution                                $25.40                 $22.10                   $13.25

Calculate the contribution per limiting factor of each product and rank the products

<em>contribution per limiting factor = contribution per unit ÷ quantity per limiting factor per unit</em>

                                                        A                           B                            C

Quantity of limiting factor             4.65                      6.3                          5.9

Contribution per limiting factor   5.46                      3.51                        2.25

Ranking                                            1                           2                             3

Allocate the limiting factor according to the limiting factor
