Create a query that shows the last name, employee ID, hours worked, and overtime amount owed for hourly employees who earned overtime during week 2. Overtime is paid at 1.5 times the normal hourly rate for all hours worked over 40. Note that the amount shown in the query should be just the overtime portion of the wages paid. Also, this is not a totals query- amounts should be shown for individual workers. QBE grid template. This is the exact question from the book and the only information it gives me.

For each of the variables in Exercise 1 that you classified as interval-ratio, identify whether it is discrete or continuous. A. The number of people in your family B.

The rating of the overall quality of a textbook on a scale from "Excellent" to "Poor" E. The type of transportation a person takes to work (e.g. bus, walk, car) F. Your annual income G.

The publisher Reed Elsevier uses a mixed-bundling pricing strategy. The publisher sells a university access to a bundle of 930 of its journals for $1.7 million for one year. It also offers the journals separately at individual prices. Because Elsevier offers the journals online (with password access), universities can track how often their students and faculty access journals and then cancel those journals that are seldom read. Suppose that a publisher offers a university only three journals—A, B, and C—at the unbundled, individual annual subscription prices of pA = $1,600, pB = $800, and pC= $1,500. Suppose a university’s willingness to pay for each of the journals is νA = $2,000, vB = $1,100, and vC = $1,400.

a. If the publisher offers the journals only at the individual subscription prices, to which journals does the university subscribe?

b. Given these individual prices, what is the highest price that the university is willing to pay for the three journals bundled together?

c. Now suppose that the publisher offers the same deal to a second university with willingness- to-pay vA = $1,800, vB = $100, and vC = $2,100. With the two universities, calculate the revenue-maximizing individual and bundle prices.

QUESTION C IS VERY CONFUSING FOR ME. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION SIR/MADAM.

A study compared the individual pre-tax yearly income earned by residents from two states. The following table lists the statistics resulting from this study:

Calculate the upper and lower bound of the 95% confidence interval of the mean difference (State A - State B) between the income earned by individuals from the two states. Give your answers to 2 decimal places.

a)Lower bound =

b)Upper bound =

Keep in mind that each transaction triggers two offsetting entries in the BoP

Example: Starbucks buys coffee from an Indonesian farmer for USD 50 K who in return acquires fertilizer from a US manufacturer

US Current Account (CA):

Trade: -50 K (import of coffee)

Trade: +50 K (export of fertilizer)

For each of the following transactions, indicate how the transaction would appear in the US balance of payments. Indicate the USD amount (with the correct sign) as well as the appropriate accounts and sub-accounts:

1. A U.S. oil company imports oil from a firm in Canada. The firm pays USD 135M for the oil which is kept in a US bank by the Canadian firm

2. Apple pays USD 790 M dividends to its non-US shareholders who reinvest the dividends in Apple shares.

3. A U.S. company acquires a 40% stake in a joint venture (JV) in China for USD 74 M. The payment is converted from USD to RMB by the People’s Bank of China (PBC), i.e. the Chinese central bank, at the official exchange rate. PBC then provides the USD to a state-owned Chinese enterprise that acquires a US firm.

Throughout this course, you will review scenarios involving Company A, which has been acquired by Company B. Company A was founded in 1956 in Mobile, Alabama. The average age of its workforce is 57 and it is comprised of 40% Caucasian and 85% male. Company B was founded in 1997 in San Francisco, California. The average age of its workforce is 35 and it is comprised of 45% Caucasian and 50% male.

These two companies have been staunch competitors in the marketplace for several years and the employees of Company A are resentful of integrating with their former rival. There are many strategic and ethical challenges involved in this acquisition. A few of the goals of the acquisition project are listed below:

Managing the Communication and Information Sharing:

The company wants to keep employees informed of how the acquisition will impact them.

The company wants to be sure that they provide enough information to satisfy the employees, but not provide so much that the employees feel overwhelmed.

The company wants to be sure that the timing of the communication matches their execution of the changes within the two organizations.

Managing the Consolidation and Changes:

There is no doubt that there will be layoffs as a result of the acquisition. The company wants to do what is best for the acquisition in a way that inflicts the least amount of harm to the existing employees.

The company wants to make the decisions about who to layoff in the fairest way possible.

The company wants to try and limit exposure to potential discrimination (age and gender) stemming from the layoffs.

Managing the Relocations of Some the Employees:

Another impact of acquisitions is that employees may be asked to relocate in order to maintain employment in the newly formed organization.

The company wants to manage the expenses and potential disruption with the relocations.

The company wants to assess relocations verses hiring new employees locally.

Let us look at the role and responsibilities of HR managers regarding managing the company’s goals related to the recent acquisition.

Instructions:

You have a wide variety of employees encompassing different ages, genders, and ethnic backgrounds represented in these two companies. As a Strategic HR Director, your goal is to create a workforce that will effectively move the newly formed company forward.

Now, address the following issues:

Identify all of the information you would need to effectively manage the three goals above.

Identify the challenges and potential issues related to implementing the three goals above.

Develop recommendations for strategies to address these challenges and help the newly formed company meet its goals.
