Answer:
d. is negative so they are complements
Explanation:
The gasoline and driving are complement to each other that means if the price of the gasoline is increased so there should be the less pricing as it will become costlier now and if the price of the gasoline is decreased so there is more driving. It has an inverse relationship between two goods
So, the cross price elasticity of goods would be negative
Hence, the option d is correct

Stocks are a risky investment. Treasury Bills are a highly liquid and risk free investment whose interest income is not subject to state income taxes. Stocks have significantly outperformed Treasury Bills over the long term. In light of these higher returns, which best explains why an individual would invest in Treasury Bills vs. stocks
Answer: c. Preference for a very low risk investment would result in an individual choosing Treasury Bills over stocks despite lower expected returns.
Explanation:
Treasury bills offer little to no risk and would be perfect for people who do not want risky investments and are willing to receive a lower return in exchange for that lack of risk.
There are many reasons people would do this such as age where for instance, older people who are retired would prefer a steady source of income that they know is risk free as opposed to risky assets like stocks that could fail at any time.

Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent. Some firms use no debt. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Complete Question:
Which one of the following is not empirically correct?
A. Debt levels across industries vary widely
B. Debt ratios in most countries are considerably less than 100 percent.
C. Some firms use no debt.
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
E. Most corporations have relatively low debt-asset ratios.
Answer:
The not empirically correct statement is:
D. Capital structures are fairly constant across industries.
Explanation:
Instead, the capital structures across industries vary significantly. Firms with large asset investments tend to have more leverage than others with less asset investments. And this situation of having or not having large investments in assets cuts across firms in the same industry. This suggests that their capital structures will always vary not because of the industry but the choices made by the firm's management. Capital structures are also influenced by taxes and operating income uncertainties, which also vary within the same industry.
Verer Custom Carpentry manufactures chairs in its Processing Department. Direct materials are included at the inception of the production cycle and must be bundled in single kits for each unit. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the production cycle. Inspection takes place as units are placed into production. After inspection, some units are spoiled due to nondetectible material defects. Spoiled units generally constitute 4% of the good units. Data provided for March 20X5 are as follows:

Assume a pro rata reinsurance agreement with a 35% retention. Further assume a primary insurance contract with limits of $2,500,000, premiums of $20,000 and deductible $10,000. a)How much premium will the primary insurance company retain
Answer: $7000
Explanation:
Since there is a pro rata reinsurance agreement with a 35% retention, primary insurance contract with limits of $2,500,000, premiums of $20,000 and deductible $10,000, then the amount of premium that the primary insurance company will retain will be:
= Retention rate × Premium
= 35% × $20000
= 0.35 × $20000
= $7000

Explain (with theories support) the elements that can affect an individual behavior
Answer:
wow who has theory support THAT MENAS YOU HAVE wow but none of them has it
Explanation:
Social Cognitive Theory3,4
Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory proposes that
people are driven not by inner forces, but by external factors. This model suggests that human functioning can be explained by a triadic interaction of
behavior, personal and environmental factors (see
figure 1). This is often known as reciprocal determinism. Environmental factors represent situational
influences and environment in which behavior is preformed while personal factors include instincts,
drives, traits, and other individual motivational forces. Several constructs underlie the process of human
learning and behavior change.3 These variables may also intervene in the process of behavior change4.
• Self-efficacy — A judgment of one’s ability to perform the behavior.
• Outcome Expectations — A judgment of the likely consequences a behavior will produce. The
importance of these expectations (i.e., expectancies) may also drive behavior.
• Self-Control — The ability of an individual to control their behaviors.
• Reinforcements — Something that increases or decreases the likelihood a behavior will continue
Job 148 requires $12,000 of direct materials, $6,700 of direct labor, 550 direct labor hours, and 270 machine hours. It also requires 9 hours of inspection at $40 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is computed at $28 per direct labor hour used and $42 per machine hour used. The total amount of overhead allocated is: a. $34,100. b. $26,740. c. $45,440. d. $15,400.
Answer:
b. $26,740
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount of overhead allocated is shown below:
overhead allocated is
= (actual direct labor hour × overhead rate per direct labor hour) + (Actual machine hour × overhead rate per machine hour)
= (550 × 28) + (270 × 42]
= $15,400 + $11,340
= $26,740
hence, the total amount of overhead allocated is $26,740

Project A requires a $280,000 initial investment for new machinery with a five-year life and a salvage value of $30,000. The company uses straight-line depreciation. Project A is expected to yield annual net income of $20,000 per year for the next five years. QS 26-6 Accounting rate of return LO P2 Compute Project A’s accounting rate of return.
Answer:
12.90%
Explanation:
Annual average investment = (Initial investment + Salvage value) / 2
Annual average investment = ($280000 + $30000) / 2
Annual average investment = $155,000
Accounting rate of return = Annual after-tax net income / Annual average investment
Accounting rate of return = $20,000 / $155,000
Accounting rate of return = 0.1290322581
Accounting rate of return = 12.90%

Mary wants to get a more complete picture of her productivity, so she has collected the following information. In addition, she would like to get her answer in $/$, so she has included the piece price. All values are given per hour except for the piece price which is ________$/unit.
Output: 15
Piece price: $83/unit
Labor cost: $45
Capital cost: $100
Overhead: $46
Answer:
6.5183 or 6.52
Explanation:
The calculation is given below:
We know that
Productivity = Total output ÷ Total input
Given that
Total wage paid = 45
Total cost of material = 100
Overhead cost = 46
Now
Total output produced = 1245 (15 units × $83 per unit)
So,
Productivity = 1245 ÷ (45 + 100 + 46 )
= 6.5183 or 6.52

A company needs 510,000 items per year. It costs the company $850 to prepare a production run of these items and $9 to produce each item. If it also costs the company $0.75 per year for each item stored, find the number of items that should be produced in each run so that total costs of production and storage are minimized. 33995 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. items/run
Answer:
20,824 units
Explanation:
850x + [ 0.75 - 510,000 ] / x
solving the equation we get,
[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = [ 0.75 - 510,000 ] / 850
x = 24.49
The number of items produced in each run should be;
510,000 / 24.49 = 20,824

what role does planning play in public sector
Hello there! The answer is below.
Explanation:
Planning plays a very big role in the public sector. Planning lets you measure how big your response has to be to something, especially in business. It lets use utilize your resources and make as much as you need. When you plan in the public sector of marketing, you can also plan what to sell and align your priorities.
Answer:
Since the public sector is usually in charge of creating and directing defense, it also usually retains power over how troops are paid, training mechanisms, and rules of combat. Foreign policy is another area in which it is important to present a unified front through the public sector, in order to prevent conflicting treaties and agreements.
Explanation:
Tech Solutions is a consulting firm that uses a job-order costing system. Its direct materials consist of hardware and software that it purchases and installs on behalf of its clients. The firm’s direct labor includes salaries of consultants that work at the client’s job site, and its overhead consists of costs such as depreciation, utilities, and insurance related to the office headquarters as well as the office supplies that are consumed serving clients. Tech Solutions computes its predetermined overhead rate annually on the basis of direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it estimated that 55,000 direct labor-hours would be required for the period’s estimated level of client service. The company also estimated $302,500 of fixed overhead cost for the coming period and variable overhead of $0.50 per direct labor-hour. The firm’s actual overhead cost for the year was $321,300 and its actual total direct labor was 58,850 hours. Required: 1. Compute the predetermined overhead rate. 2. During the year, Tech Solutions started and completed the Xavier Company engagement. The following information was available with respect to this job: Direct materials $ 50,850 Direct labor cost $ 27,300 Direct labor hours worked 220 Compute the total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement.
Answer:
Tech Solutions
1. The predetermined overhead rate is:
= $6
2. The total job cost for the Xavier Company engagement is:
= $79,470
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Estimated direct labor-hours for the year = 55,000
Estimated fixed overhead cost = $302,500
Estimated variable overhead cost ($0.50 per DLH) = $27,500
Total overhead costs = $330,000 ($27,500 + $302,500)
Actual overhead cost for the year = $321,300
Actual total direct labor-hours = 58,850
Predetermined overhead rate = $6 ($330,000/55,000)
Xavier Company's Job:
Direct materials $ 50,850
Direct labor cost $ 27,300
Direct labor hours worked 220
Applied overhead = $1,320 ($6 * 220)
Total job cost = $79,470
= Variable overhead rate + fixed overhead rate
= $0.50 + ($302,500 ÷ 55,000 direct labor hours)
= $0.50 + $5.50
= $6.00
2. The total cost should be
= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + overhead cost
= $50,850 + $27,300 + ($6 × 220)
= $50,850 + $27,300 + $1,320
= $79,470
Therefore we can conclude that
The predetermined overhead rate is $6.00.The total job cost is $79,470.Learn more about the total cost here: brainly.com/question/13910351
What are the four types of organization structures
Answer:
1. Functional
2. Divisional
3. Matrix
4. Flat
Explanation:
Have a nice day :)
Answer:
Four main organizational structure types are:
I. Functional
II. Divisional
III. Matrix
IV. Flat
Explanation:
I. Functional Structure:
Employees performing similar or similar tasks are grouped together in this structure. For example, the financial department consists of accountants, and the same is true in the departments of marketing, operations, and human resources. This structure makes quick decision-making possible because the members of the group have the same skills and interests to communicate easily and can improve their capacities by learning from each other.
II. Divisional Structure
This structure groups employee's by-products or projects that satisfy the requirements of a certain customer type. For example, a catering service restaurant could structure the staff in different departments, such as a wedding service or a department of wholesale retail services. Workers are divided in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
III Matrix Structure:
A matrix structure has a complex story structure since it combines both functional and divisional elements. It first divides employees by specialization, then divides them into departments by project and product. A lot of planning and effort is needed to make this structure but one e has increased the team's productivity, encourages innovation and creativity, and good decision-making.
IV Flat Structure:
The traditional top-down management system is prevented by a flat organizational structure. No concept of boss is in place, every employee is their own boss, eliminating bureaucracy and enhancing direct communication. An employee with an innovative idea or proposal, for example, does not contact every level of senior management in order for the manager to get the idea. The staff can communicate with each other directly at a peer level.

Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total assets:
Accumulated depreciation (4,067) (B)
Property, plant & equipment, net 6,030 (B)
Accounts receivable 1,816 (B)
Total assets = $3,779
Total Expenses:
Depreciation expense 408 (I)

Total expenses = $5,292
Net profit (loss) margin = $(211)/ $24,381 * 100 = -0.865%
Total liabilities-to-equity ratio = total liabilities/stockholders' equity * 100

You have the following information regarding a bond that pays semi-annual coupon payments: Time to maturity is 12 years Coupon Rate is 6% The current price (PV) of the bond is $1,189.14 today. Compute the I/T Periodic rate on the bond that is required by the market. State as a percent without using the percent sign and round to the second decimal place. Hence, 23.628% would be written as 23.63 for the response to be correct.
Answer: 2%
Explanation:
As the coupon payments are semi-annual, you need to convert the other measures to semi-annual measures as well.
Coupon rate = 6%/2 = 3% per semi annum
Coupon payment = 3% * 1,000 which is par value = $30
Time to maturity = 12 * 2 = 24 semi annual periods
Price is still the same = $1,189.14
You can use an Excel worksheet to solve for the Yield:
Number of periods = 24
Payment = $30
PV = 1,189.14
FV is par value of $1,000
Periodic rate is 0.019999
= 2%
Each year Capital Two retains 75 percent of its customers, and the annual discount rate is 5 percent. What annual retention rate doubles the value of a customer?
Answer: 87.5%
Explanation:
Value of a Customer = Margin * Retention rate / (1 + Annual discount rate - Retention rate)
We shall assume a margin of 1 so no need to include it:
= 75% / ( 1 + 5% - 75%)
= 2.5
This value needs to double so assume the retention rate to double this is x and use the formula above to find it:
5 = x / (1 + 5% - x)
5 * (1 + 5% - x) = x
5 + 0.25 - 5x = x
5.25 = 5x+ x
6x = 5.25
x = 5.25 / 6
x = 87.5%
