Answer:
A) Polonova has a strong sense of personal ambition and independence.
Explanation:
From the question we are informed Rainbow Corp. who hires a new secretary, Polonova, who differs from the vast majority of the company's employees in terms of her ethnicity. The company has a collectivist culture with a culturally diverse workforce and several policies to support the minorities. Yet, after a few weeks, she quits the company. In this case, she quit because Polonova has a strong sense of personal ambition and independence.
Personal Ambition can be regarded as strong desire as well as aspiration to work towards acheiving something or goals which requires alot of dedication and extra work. Personal independent also require the ability of someone to independently carry out some task productivity with freedom of choice in an organization.
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at
a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they
would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is
450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass
the cost benefit analysis.
If the fireworks' cost is to be split
equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let
us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely benefitted by this measure. Only he would
We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.
2) Town of River Heights:
We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community
is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than
their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be
bought.
However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.
Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.
3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.
Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.
The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.

This is shown because when a item in demand is needed it becomes price and thus becomes lower of supply and gains value
Answer:
Acton Corporation
The overhead for the year was:
$1,208 overapplied
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated manufacturing overhead $361,260
Estimated machine-hours 2,700
Predetermined overhead rate = $361,260/2,700 = $13.38
Actual manufacturing overhead $354,700
Actual machine-hours 2,660
Overhead applied = Actual machine hours * Predetermined overhead rate
= 2,660 * $13.38
= $355,908
Overapplied overhead = Overhead applied minus Actual overhead
= $355,908 - $354,700
= $1,208
