Answer:

identify those applicants that are most likely to succeed.

Explanation:

There are several reasons why companies carry out background checks, the most important ones are:

safety and security purposes: e.g. convicted felons cannot work for certain industries that have direct relation with state and federal government levels, a bank will not hire an individual convicted of fraud, power plants will not hire someone convicted of terrorism, etc.
evaluate the candidate's potential: by evaluating the candidate's character, fitness and even past mistakes, the company may be able to determine the professional potential of the candidate, e.g. someone who had excellent grades in grades can be considered to be very fit for a job, but if previous employment situation show that they cannot handle pressure or extra work, then their potential is limited.

Northern Air has dozens of flights daily into and out of Belleville Airport, which is highly congested. Northern Air depends for

gladu [14]

Answer:

The answer is E.

Explanation:

Given the information about the airline company Northern Air and their problem with Belleville airport, when we evaluate the options for any disadvantages for Northern Air we can say that;

Option A, being able to schedule flights without stopping for refueling is completely an advantage for Nothern Air.

Option B, the decline of the cost of aviation fuel over the next several years can only cause a problem if the amount they will save from their fuel costs and other costs are going to exceed the amount that will be spent on the Skybuses.

Option C, several mechanics losing their jobs is certainly not the most serious disadvantage Northern Air is going to have from this action.

Option D, the fact that none of Northern Air's competitors in the Belleville Airport are buying Skybuses is not a disadvantage for Northern Air.

Option E, the aerodynamic of the Skybus causing turbulence and therefore leading the delay for the take-off could be a serious disadvantage because of its affects to the company's strict flight schedules.

I hope this answer helps.

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Current Assets = $85,000

Explanation:

Anson Corporation

Balance Sheet (Partial)

As at December 31, 2018

Assets

Current Assets:

Accounts receivable $12,000

Inventories 40,000

Treasury Bill 30,000

<u>Prepaid insurance 3,000</u>

Total current assets $85,000

Prepaid insurance $6,000/2 = $3,000 is for current years. Therefore, $3,000 is a current assets. Since treasury bill is an investment and for 3 months, it is a current assets.

Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Segment Company Motor

a) The asset turnover ratios for all three companies. Round to two decimal places are:

YRC Worldwide ___4.76_____

Union Pacific ___0.46____

C.H. Robinson Worldwide __12.34____

b) Based on the Asset Turnover Ratio computed above, Transportation Arrangement is the most efficient. It outperformed YRC Worldwide and Union Pacific Corporation in deploying assets to generate revenue. The performance of Union Pacific Corporation in comparison is very abysmal.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

YRC Worldwide Railroads Union Transportation

Inc. (YRCW) Pacific Corporation Arrangement C.H.

(UNP)

Sales $4,832 $21,813 $13,470

Average long-term

operating assets 1,016 47,569 1,092

Asset turnover = Sales/Average operating assets

= 4.76 0.46 12.34

Suppose that the duopolists Carl and Simon face an inverse demand function for pumpkins of P = 400 - Q, where Q = Qs + Qc is the

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

the Cournot-Nash equilibrium, Simon's production is 82 units

Explanation:

The Cournot-Nash Equilibrium for Simon's production is calculated as follows:

$P = 400 - Q \\ \\ Q = Q_s + Q_c$

Reaction function of Carl is as follows:

Carl maximize profit at $HR_c = HC_c$

$TR_c = P*Q_c$

$TR_c = (400 -Q_s -Q_c)Q_c$

$TR_c = 400Q_c -Q_sQ_c -Q_c^2$

⇒ $HR_c = \delta TR_c/ \delta Q_c$

$HR_c =400 -Q_s -2 Q_c$

$C_c = 30 Q_c + Q_c^2$

⇒ $HC_c = \delta C_c/ \delta Q_c$

$HC_c =30+2Q_c$

Set $HR_c = HC_c$

$400 - Q_s - 2 Q_c = 30 - 2Q_c \\ \\ 400 - Q_s -30 = 2Q_c + 2Q_c \\\\(370 Q_s) = 4 Q_c \\ \\ Q_c = (370-Q_s)/4 \\ \\ Q_c = 92.5 - 0.25 Q_s \to Reaction \ function \ of \ Carl --- equation (1)$

Reaction function of Simon

Since Simon maximize profit at $HR_s = HC_s$

$TR_s = PQ_s \\ \\ TR_s = (400-Q_c -Q_s)Q_s \\ \\ TR_s = 400 Q_s - Q_cQ_s - Q_s^2$

$HR_s = \delta TR_s/ \delta Q_s$

$HR_s =400 - Q_c -2Q_s$

$C_s = Q_s^2$

$HC_s= \delta C_s/ \delta Q_s$

$HC_s=2Q_s$

Set $HR_s = HC_s$

$400- Q_c - 2Q_s = 2Q_s \\ \\ 400 - Q_c = 2Q_s+2Q_s \\ \\ 4Q_s = 400 - Q_c \\ \\ Q_s = (4000- Q_c)/4 \\ \\ Q_s = 100 -0.25 Q_c --- Reaction \ function \ of \ Simon \ -- equation (2)$

Substituting equation (1) into equation (2)

$Q_s =100 -0.25Q_c \\ \\ Q_s = 100 - 0.25(92.5-0.25 Q_s) \\ \\ Q_s = 100 -23.125 +0.0625Q_s \\ \\ (Q_s-0.0625Q_s) = 76.375 \\ \\ 0.9375 Q_s = 76.875 \\ \\ Q_s = 76.375/0.9375 \\ \\ Q_s = 82$

Thus; the Cournot-Nash equilibrium, Simon's production is 82 units
