The complete question reads;
As you read the following case, think about how Alicia Brooks, HR manager at Edu-Films, needs to take a balanced approach to hiring the right amount of staff for the company's next big project. In this exercise, please read the mini-case and answer the questions that follow. Edu-Films is a small design company that writes and produces videos for the elementary and high school education market. The company is in the final stages of negotiating a new contract with a U.S. publisher to create 40 videos for a new K-12 math series, and the videos need to be available by the spring of 2017. Business for Edu-Films has been slow over the past three years, and the company has kept staff levels to a minimum. Mindful of the company's flat fiscal results over the last couple of years but understanding that new hires must be ready to go once the agreement is signed, HR manager Alicia Brooks must put together a cohesive hiring plan.
1). What should be Alicia's first step?
A). Check with her colleagues in the industry for possible new hires.
B). Get together with company execs for a planning session.
C). Set goals for hiring new staff.
D). Forecast labor supply and demand within the company once video work starts.
E). Take out a recruitment ad in the local newspaper.
Answer:
C). Set goals for hiring new staff.
Explanation:
A goal refers to expected results or achievement which requires effort. Remember we are told, "the videos need to be available by the spring of 2017". Meeting this deadline should be the ultimate goal, and so Alicia's first step should be to set goals for hiring new staff.
By so doing she can get the expected results.
At the beginning of 2021, Angel Corporation began offering a two-year warranty on its products. The warranty program was expected to cost Angel 5% of net sales. Net sales made under warranty in 2021 were $194 million. Fifteen percent of the units sold were returned in 2021 and repaired or replaced at a cost of $4.40 million.

= $9.7 million
Thus, the amount of warranty expense on Angel's 2021 income statement will be $9.7 million
The agency problem exists primarily in companies of which:__________.
a. ownership is widely dispersed
b. common stock is closely held
c. management has stock ownership
d. both a & c
Answer: a. ownership is widely dispersed
Explanation:
When ownership of a company is widely dispersed, it means that there are few major holders of stock and no majority shareholder.
This can lead to more instances of the Agency problem ( managers acting for their own welfare instead of that of the shareholders) as there will be fewer people able to call the managers to book unilaterally. The managers will therefore feel more empowered to do as they please.

Sustainability and ERP (Enterprise resource planning) systems are helping companies track their energy consumption. SAP and Walmart are not only teaming up for the implementation of the retail giant’s financial software, but they are also promoting a unified front on sustainability—focusing on reducing pollution while increasing profits—through the use of ERP software. Many SAP customers have cut energy usage; for example, 7-Eleven reduced its cooling energy usage by 12 percent, Dannon cut its fuel costs by 22 percent with better management of its transportation system, all through the use of enhanced information from their ERP system. Companies can use the software to track and report on their energy consumption; however, in order to make changes, a company must determine the baseline of its energy consumption. For instance, Walmart was surprised to find that only 8 percent of its carbon footprint was under the direct control of the company, the remaining 92 percent was in the company’s supply chain. Since 85 percent of Walmart’s suppliers run SAP, Walmart saw an opportunity to encourage energy savings on the part of the companies that supply the Walmart stores. SAP sustainability software application allows Walmart and its suppliers to track their energy usage, emissions, and consumption of other natural resources.

What is the most effective learning theory in your opinion? Explain how does it modify one’s behavior? Support your answer with relevant examples.
Answer:
Experiential Learning Theory
Explanation:
I think that the experiential learning theory is the most effective learning theory. This learning theory projects experience as a crucial factor that promotes learning. It also explains that people learn better when they initiate their learning and not when they are forced to learn.
I think this theory is very effective as it makes the lessons learned to stick better and also cause the needed changes. For example, a teenager who is constantly reminded by his parents to avoid late night partying, but rejects the counsel, might learn better if he gets into trouble as a result of the experience. Also, a student who finds it difficult to understand a topic taught by a teacher, might get better at it when he initiates the learning himself by actively researching and studying on his own.

Annuities are a series of constant cash flows that have been received over a certain period of time. However, not all annuities are created equal. Some annuities adjust the payments based on certain macroeconomic factors. Growing annuities are a series of payments that grow at aconstant rate. You invested in an aggressive growth fund and expect to earn 14.84% annually over the next five years. However, due to strong growth, inflation is expected to be 7.35%. What should be your expected real rate of return
Answer:
Real interest rate= 0.0749= 7.49%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
You invested in an aggressive growth fund and expect to earn 14.84% annually over the next five years. However, due to strong growth, inflation is expected to be 7.35%.
The inflation rate provokes the opposite effect than the interest rate. It decreases the value of money through time, reducing the purchasing price of the nominal value of money.
Real interest rate= nominal interest rate - inflation rate
Real interest rate= 0.1484 - 0.0735
Real interest rate= 0.0749= 7.49%

Kayleigh is looking over a number of material requisition slips from her employees. She has to sign off on each request after reviewing it, which she thinks is a waste of time and effort. Kayleigh believes that having the name of the employee who requested the materials should be enough. Is she correct?
Answer: B : No, approval by an individual other than the requestor establishes greater accountability over inventory.
Explanation:
The purpose of reviewing the material requisition slips is to ensure that there is greater accountability in inventory acquisition and this is why it is important that someone else apart from the person requesting approves the inventory request as it will reduce chances of fraud.
If the person requesting could also approve, there is a chance that inventory that is not needed will be ordered and then used for purposes other than to benefit the business but to benefit the person who requested it.
The City of Willford levies a flat 7% tax on individual income in excess of $55,000. Individuals who earn $55,000 or less pay no income tax. Ms. Vello earned $127,200 income this year. Compute her city income tax and determine her average tax rate. Mr. Sui earned $68,900 income this year. Compute his city income tax and determine his average tax rate. Does Willford have a proportionate, progressive, or regressive tax rate structure?
Answer:
Explanation:
• Ms. Vello earned $127,200 income this year. Compute her city income tax and determine her average tax rate.
Ms. Vello's tax is calculated as:
= $72,200 × 7%
= $72000 × 0.07
= $5054
Her average tax rate will be:
= $5,054/$127,200
= 3.97%
• Mr. Sui earned $68,900 income this year. Compute his city income tax and determine his average tax rate.
Mr. Sui's tax will be:
= $13,900 × 7%
= $13900 × 0.07
= $973
His average tax rate will be:
= $973/$68,900
= 1.41%
• Does Willford have a proportionate, progressive, or regressive tax rate structure
Willford has a progressive tax rate. This is because as the base rises, the tax rate also increases. The higher the income, then the higher the tax rate will also be.

In addition, tax depreciation exceeded book depreciation by $40,900. Finally, Costello received $3,450 of tax-exempt life insurance proceeds from the death of one of its officers. Costello's deferred income tax expense or benefit would be:
Answer:
Deferred income tax expense = $7,161
Explanation:
Given:
Bed debts increase = $6,800
Depericiation increase = $40,900
Tax-exempt life insurance = $3,450
Computation:
Assume tax rate = 21%
Taxable difference = 40,900 - 6,800
Taxable difference = 34,100
Deferred income tax expense = 34,100 × 21%
Deferred income tax expense = $7,161

Torino Company has 2,700 shares of $10 par value, 6.0% cumulative and nonparticipating preferred stock and 27,000 shares of $10 par value common stock outstanding. The company paid total cash dividends of $1,000 in its first year of operation. The cash dividend that must be paid to preferred stockholders in the second year before any dividend is paid to common stockholders is:
Answer: $2240
Explanation:
Preferred shareholders have priority over the income of a company as they're paid dividends before the common shareholders. The common stockholders are the ones that are paid last after the preferred shareholders and creditors have all been paid.
The dividend on the preferred shares will be calculated as:
= 2700 × 10 × 6%
= 2700 × 10 × 0.06
= 1620
Tge dividend in arrears fir the first year will be calculated as:
= 1620 - 1000
= 620
Dividend for the second year will be:
= 1620
Dividend that'll be paid to preferred shareholders will be:
= $620 + $1620
= $2240
