May Gilbert began working for Amalgamated Baking Company (ABC) in May 2003 as a sales supervisor at its Vernon, California, facility. In May 2005, ABC promoted her to food sales account manager and in June 2006 promoted her again to conduct training for southern California distributors. Ken Weinzimmer, ABC's senior vice president for sales and marketing and/or Dwight Carnahan, ABC's president, approved each promotion.

ABC then offered Gilbert a job in Texas. She accepted the offer and in January 2007, with Carnahan's approval, began working as the first sales supervisor at ABC's Fort Worth, Texas, facility. ABC did not then have distributors, routes, or trucks in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. No employees reported to Gilbert. In February 2007, Gilbert hired her husband to work under her supervision as a distributor.

ABC promoted Gilbert in January 2008 to the position of district sales manager for the Dallas/Fort Worth area; she received a pay raise as well. Carnahan and Gilbert's supervisor, John Davis, approved the promotion and raise. Gilbert then supervised up to eighteen distributors, of whom up to ten operated out of ABC's Dallas facility. Although ABC eventually gave her a 4 percent raise in September 2008, she received lower compensation than did male district sales managers in other areas, and ABC did not give her access to a cellular telephone. Gilbert complained about this treatment, implying she was being treated differently because she was a woman. ABC informed her that the other districts had performed better than hers during the same period.

In January 2009, several distributors whom Gilbert supervised complained she was treating them unfairly by favoring her husband in assigning the best routes, providing him other activities, and giving him other considerations. The distributors also complained of her poor advance knowledge of sales contests and supervision.

They asserted that Gilbert was one reason for the high distributor turnover in her market area. A few days later, the distributors advised Carnahan of additional complaints of favoritism they asserted Gilbert had shown to her husband. Carnahan referred these complaints to

Weinzimmer. Carnahan and Weinzimmer then met with the distributors, taking their grievances seriously because they viewed them as ABC customers. After a more detailed internal investigation, Carnahan concluded that the distributors complaints were valid, and followed up by meeting with Gilbert. Carnahan discussed with Gilbert The possibility of transferring her to Houston and also offered her a distributorship, both of which she refused. Carnahan then terminated Gilbert's employment. Gilbert alleges ABC fired her as an act of retaliation for her previous complaints about sex discrimination in pay and not being given a cellular phone.

discriminated against because of her sex?

b. If so, which form of sex discrimination

applies?

Emerald Motors is an automobile dealer. The controller consults with you about the type of accounting used for a special offer to its new car customers. Emerald has offered to provide at no charge to the customer the first four recommended service visits (i.e., at 3,000, 6,000, 9,000, and 12,000 miles). It is a virtual certainty that all customers will exercise their rights to the service, and the cost of the services can be accurately estimated. The controller reasons that the estimated cost should be accrued when the sale of an automobile is made so that all of the costs of the sale can be matched with the revenue. How would you respond to the controller?

Describe THREE (3) categories of e-commerce revenue models with ONE (1) real-life example for each model. Below are the guidelines of answer. DO NOT use guidelines below as the answer of question. If you not understand question, DO NOT answer, please comment below. Use your own answer and give your own experience example.

Answer:
First let me list the three :
1. Affiliate marketing <<explain this and give one real life example.
2. Online advertising<<explain this and give one real life example.
3. Transaction fees<<explain this and give one real life example.

Explanation:
1. Affiliate marketing enables you to earn revenue by marketing or offering another product for sale on your site. For example, you may reference a book you read and recommend your customers get a copy for themselves. You could also set up an affiliate account and place a direct link to the book on the Amazon site, which will pay you a percentage of the sale. If you decide to participate in affiliate marketing, you\'ll need to research which companies might provide you with a financial incentive for promoting their sites on your page.
When you\'re just starting out, the money you earn from affiliate marketing may be just a small, supplemental amount. However, as traffic to your site increases, you may enjoy more substantial income.
2. Online advertising is a very popular revenue model for e-commerce businesses. In this method, companies or organizations buy advertising space on your site, provide a designed ad or written message, and then pay you for promoting their messages. Media sites, such as magazines, newspapers, and television channels typically use online advertising.
Two common types of online advertising include pay-per-click and pay-per-view, which determine how much advertisers will pay for their advertisements. While some sites charge a set fee for placing an ad, most pay a set fee for each person who clicks on a link or views a page related to the advertiser. As traffic to your site grows and more people click on an advertiser\'s link or view a related page, you\'ll earn more advertising revenue.
3. Transaction fees are the charges a company pays for using their service. If you\'ve ever sold anything on eBay, you know there\'s a set price for posting a product for sale. Each time a transaction happens, you pay a small fee to eBay for marketing your product. Whether you charge a small fee for a company to list a transaction or for someone to view a video, transaction fees can be a sizable if the traffic to the website is substantial.
Examples of the firms that use these revenue models are:
1. TDC and Orange are using Affiliate marketing .
2. Coco Cola , AMEX , Mint are using Online advertising .
3. Google (e.g. AdWords and AdSense),Facebook,New York Times (Marketing) are using Transaction fees.

From a political-economy perspective, explain the emergence of publicly-funded, centrally-financed, universal healthcare systems in Europe and Canada.

Required information

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Santana Rey created Business Solutions on October 1, 2019. The company has been successful, and its list of customers has grown. To accommodate the growth, the accounting system is modified to set up separate accounts for each customer. The following chart of accounts includes the account number used for each account and any balance as of December 31, 2019. Santana Rey decided to add a fourth digit with a decimal point to the 106 account number that had been used for the single Accounts Receivable account. This change allows the company to continue using the existing chart of accounts.

In response to requests from customers, S. Rey will begin selling computer software. The company will extend credit terms of 1/10, n/30, FOB shipping point, to all customers who purchase this merchandise. However, no cash discount is available on consulting fees.
