Answer:

His return on investment is negative 8.7%

Explanation:

Thomas purchased 2,500 shares of EKK at $54 per share (=$135,000 / 2,500).

He received $750 (= $0.30 x 2,500) in annual dividends.

He sold his 2,500 shares at $49 per share = $122,500

The total amount of money he received from his investment is $122,500 + $7

50 = $123,250, then we divide that by $135,000 = 0.913 - 1 = -8.7%

Andrews [41]

Answer:

1) C) HR specialist

2) D) sales methods

Explanation:

1) HR specialists are mostly the HR employee that first comes in contact with a  possible employee. An HR specialist conducts the initial orientation and is always specialized in that HR segment - initial screening, employee's introduction with the organization...

Managers come into the picture during the later phases of the process, explaining the responsibilities and expectations from the employee.

2) The concrete methods of doing work are rarely discussed at orientation sessions. The role of the orientation session is to briefly introduce the employee with the routine, the compensation package (both financial and non-financial) and the safety measures (if the job proposes so - mostly they are existent in all jobs).
