Drussden Inc., a multinational corporation, has decided to hire military veterans. This, the company feels, would not only set a good example of a diverse workplace among its peers and customers, but also let it derive great benefits from this unique talent pool. In implementing this recruiting strategy, Drussden Inc. should expect:
a. an increase in expenses as the company will need to pay a much higher compensation to these employees.
b. to have a more rigid and harsh workplace environment than before.
c. to require sufficient time for training their HR personnel on how to appropriately interview these potential employees.
d. a significant decrease in its hiring-related costs
Answer:
c. to require sufficient time for training their HR personnel on how to appropriately interview these potential employees.
Explanation:
Most organizations lack a veteran recruiting program. There are several misconceptions about veterans working in private companies especially regarding their mental state. It is true that a percentage, about 10-20%, experience some type of PTSD, but it generally is not something permanent. Also, former military personnel are normal people that served their country. They have some skill sand some preparation that even though might be unrelated to a specific, might be very useful. For example, many companies hire veterans because they are adaptable, flexible, react well under pressure and tend to find solutions to problems. They didn't learn this in any school, instead they learned this on the battle field. Many veterans also have a lot of experience with solving problems and presenting clear information.
This doesn't mean that they will earn a higher salary, or that they will turn the office into a military headquarter. Many companies higher them for their flexibility and how well they adapt and react to change. The problem is that not enough companies actually have veteran recruiting programs that will help both the companies and the veterans.

These units were finished and an additional 6,100 units were started and completed during the period. 1,240 units were still in process at the end of the period, 25% completed. Using the weighted average method, the equivalent units produced by the department were:
Answer:
7,640 units
Explanation:
Calculation for what the equivalent units produced by the department were Using the weighted average method
First step is to calculate the units Completed & transferred out
Completed & transferred out =6,100+1,230
Completed & transferred out=7,330
Second step is to calculate the EGIP
EGIP= (1,240*25%)
EGIP=310
Now let calculate the equivalent units produced by the department
Equivalent units produced=7,330+310
Equivalent units produced=7,640 units
Therefore Using the weighted average method, the equivalent units produced by the department were:7,640 units

B.Job 765 $78.33 unit price
Job 766 $82.75 unit price
Explanation:
A. Calculation to Determine the balance on the job cost sheets for each job
Job 765= $8,400 +$2,520+ (30*$106 per hour)
Job 765=$8,400+ $2,520+$3,180
Job 765=$14,100
Job 766=$11,970 +$3,780+ (70*$106 per hour)
Job 766=$11,970 +$3,780+ $7,420
Job 766=$23,170
Therefore the balance on the job cost sheets for each job will be:
Job 765 $14,100
Job 766 $23,170
B. Calculation to Determine the cost per unit at the end of April
Job 765=$14,100 /180 units
Job 765=$78.33 unit price
Job 766= $23,170/280 units.
Job 766= $82.75 unit price
Therefore the cost per unit at the end of April will be:
Job 765 $78.33 unit price
Job 766 $82.75 unit price

Read the descriptions and identify which region each one describes.
1. Historically, this region has suffered from extreme poverty, which continues to this day. Growth has been effectively zero since the 1960s. Problems such as political instability, poor public health and a lack of effective institutions have all contributed to its stagnation.
2. Until the middle of the last century, these countries were relatively poor. Beginning in the mid 1970s, real GDP per capita growth has averaged 6% per year. The growth was achieved in part because of high levels of investment spending in the development of human and physical capital and rapid technological progress.
3. In the early 1990s, this region was in the middle of substantial social and economic reform. Countries in this region have experienced variable growth rates, depending on their ability to adapt to the modern market economy.
4. In the early 20th century, this region was reasonably prosperous. Since that time, however, growth has stagnated, owing to government instability, banking failures, and runaway inflation. Recently, some countries in the region have begun to grow more consistently, with one country becoming a powerhouse of world economic development.
A. European Transition Economies
B. North Africa
C. South Africa
D. Asian Tigers
E. North America
F. Western Europe
G. South America
H. Sub-Saharan Africa
Answer:
Identifying regions with appropriate descriptions:
Description Region
1. H. Sub-Saharan Africa
2. D. Asian Tigers
3. A. European Transition Economies
4. G. South America
Explanation:
One factor which promotes negative economic growth is political instability. There is also the lack of human and physical development and social and economic reforms, including inconsistencies in governmental policies. For the economy of a region to grow out of poverty, governments must collaborate to pursue reforms on a large scale.

The time horizon of the demand curve is one determinant of the price elasticity of demand.If the price of gasoline is relatively high for a long time, consumers are more likely to buy fuel-efficient cars or switch to alternatives like public transportation. Therefore, the demand for gasoline is ―――― elastic in the long run than in the short run.
Answer:
more
Explanation:
we know that here Price Elasticity of demand is express as
Price Elasticity of demand = PercentageChange is quantity demanded ÷ PercentageChange in price ...........................1
so that, Demand for gasoline is more elastic in the long run than in the short run because in the long run people can change their preferences and choices.
A portfolio is composed of two securities, Stock X and Stock Z. Stock X has a standard deviation of returns of 35%, while Stock Z has a standard deviation of returns of 15%. The correlation coefficient between the returns on X and Z is .25. If Stock X comprises 40% of the portfolio, while Stock Z comprises 60% of the portfolio, what is the standard deviation of this two-risky-asset portfolio
Answer:
Portfolio SD = 0.18439 or 18.439%
Explanation:
The standard deviation of a stock or a portfolio is the measure of the total risk contained in the stock or portfolio. Risk can be defined as the volatility of the stock returns. To calculate the standard deviation of a two stock portfolio, we use the attached formula.
If the weight of stock x is 40%, the weight of stock y will be 1 - 40% = 60%
SD = √(0.4)^2 * (0.35)^2 + (0.6)^2 * (0.15)^2 + 2 * 0.4 * 0.6 * 0.25 * 0.35 * 0.15
SD = 0.18439 or 18.439%
The equilibrium level of real GDP in a country is $480 billion. Suppose that planned investment decreases by $5 billion. This decrease causes real GDP to shift to a new equilibrium level of $470 billion.
A. What will be the size of the spending multiplier for this country?
B. What is the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this country?
Answer:
A. Spending multiplier for this country = 2
B. Marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this country = 0.5
Explanation:
A. What will be the size of the spending multiplier for this country?
This can be calculated as follows:
Change in real GDP = New real GDP – Old real GDP = $470 billion - $480 billion = -$10 billion
Change in planned investment = -$5 billion
Marginal propensity to spend = Change in planned investment / Change in real GDP = -$5 billion / -$10 billion = 0.5
Spending multiplier for this country = 1 / (1 - Marginal propensity to spend) = 1 / (1 – 0.5) = 1 / 0.5 = 2
B. What is the marginal propensity to save (MPS) for this country?
This can be calculated as follows:
Marginal propensity to save (MPS) = 1 - Marginal propensity to spend
Marginal propensity to save (MPS) = 1 – 0.5
Marginal propensity to save (MPS) = 0.5
The spending multiplier for the country would be 2.
The marginal propensity to save (MPS) for the country would be 0.5
What is the calculation of the spending multiplier?The spending multiplier would be derived after the computation of marginal propensity to spend.
Here, Change in planned investment would be divided by Change in real GDP, that is,
[tex]\frac{-5}{470-480} \\=0.5[/tex]
Therefore, the spending multiplier would be;
[tex]\frac{1}{1-MPS}\\ \frac{1}{1-0.5} \\=2[/tex]
What is the calculation of marginal propensity to save?
[tex]1-MPS\\=1-0.5\\=0.5[/tex]

What advice or tips would you give Mr. Youngher as he prepares for other interviews? He should learn to appreciate the power of appearance and improve his decoding skills to be a better reader of others’ reactions. He should cancel his appointments and clear his schedule when preparing for interviews, so he’s not late. He should associate with people from diverse cultures to learn about the various customs he’ll encounter in the workplace.

Mr. Youngher arrives at his interview for a community relations internship with Bethlehem Electric in Chicago five minutes late and in a rumpled suit. When he is introduced to the chief marketing officer, Mr.Youngher moves in close as they shake hands and winks. The executive takes a step back
Answer:
He should learn to appreciate the power of appearance and improve his decoding skills to be a better reader of others’ reactions.
Explanation:
In the given scenario it is obvious that Mr Youngher did not read the situation and act appropriately.
He came late for the meeting. The correct thing for him to do would have been to apologize.
Instead he moves in close as they shake hands and winks. This kind of familiarity is inappropriate under the circumstances.
Also he went to the interview with a rumpled suit.
This would give a bad impression about himself.
He should learn that a neat appearance creates a good impression about people, this helps them rate you higher
Suppose that you sell short 1,000 shares of Xtel, currently selling for $20 per share, and give your broker $15,000 to establish your margin account.a. If you earn no interest on the funds in your margin account, what will be your rate of return after one year if Xtel stock is selling at: (i) $22; (ii) $20; (iii) $18
Answer:
i) -13.33%
ii)0.00%
iii)13.33%
Explanation:
Calculation for the rate of return after one year
i). Rate of return=(1000*($20-$22))/$15000
Rate of return=(1000*-$2))/$15000
Rate of return=-$2,000/$15000
Rate of return= -13.33%
(ii)Rate of return= (1000*($20-$20))/$15000
Rate of return=(1000*$0)/$15000
Rate of return=$0/$15000
Rate of return= 0.00%
(iii)Rate of return= (1000*($20-$18))/$15000
Rate of return=(1000*$2))/$15000
Rate of return=$2,000/$15000
Rate of return= 13.33%
Therefore what will be your rate of return after one year if Xtel stock is selling at:
(i) $22 will be -13.33%
ii) $20 will be 0.00%
iii) $18 will be 13.33%
