Explanation:
In this case, it would be risky for a company to allow the use of personal computers for remote access to organizational systems that contain data and information that must be protected by information security, which includes the confidentiality, integrity and availability of information.
In this case, the vulnerability management would be reduced, since each different remote computer may present weaknesses in the pillars of information security that significantly compromise security and induce attacks, failures and exposure of essential information to a company's business, the which can negatively interfere in business and cause a lot of damage to a company.
Xavi is a painter of landscapes and seashore portraits. He works outside and has no overhead or fixed costs such as a studio. In a typical year, it costs him $201 in canvas, paints and brushes per painting. This year he sold 322 pictures at a price of $244 each. What is Xavi's percentage markup
Answer:
Markup= 17.62%
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
In a typical year, it costs him $201 in canvas, paints, and brushes per painting. This year he sold 322 pictures for $244 each.
To calculate the markup percentage, we need to use the following formula:
Markup= [(selling price - unitary cost) / selling price]*100
Markup= [(244 - 201)/244]*100
Markup= 17.62%

The standard deviations of individual stocks are generally higher than the standard deviation of the market portfolio because the market portfolio: Multiple Choice has specific risk. offers lower returns. has less systematic risk. diversifies risk.
Answer:
has specific risk
Explanation:
Standard deviation is a measure of central tendency. It measures the variation of data from a central value. As such variables with high standard deviation have values far from the central value while standard deviation close to the central value is low.
So when individual stocks have higher standard deviation it means prices are less stable than that of market portfolio.
This can be attributed to them having specific risk. The market is not subject to diversification risk so prices tend to fluctuate less
If payments were made at the rate of $1183 per second, how many years would it take to pay off the debt, assuming that no interest were charged
Answer: 402 years
Explanation:
Debt is $15,000,000,000,000
Payment per second $1,183
Time taken to pay off = 15,000,000,000,000/1,183
= 12,679,628,064 seconds
Seconds in a year = 60 secs * 60 mins * 24 hours * 365 days
= 31,536,000 secs
Time taken in years = 12,679,628,064/ 31,536,000
= 402 years

Which of the following occupations would be best suited for someone with an intuitive-feeling style?A. Public relations B. Advertising C. Human Resources D. Politics E. Customer service
Answer:
Politics
Public relations
Explanation:
There are 4 styles of learning namely:
- Sensing uses their senses to understand the world. They verify first for themselves them they believe
- Intuitive perceives inner meaning in how people relate with each other. Usually they don't just take what they see but look for deeper significance.
- Thinking the individual looks at facts and verifiable information. Thinks in terms of cause and effect.
- Feeling is based on like and dislike. They don't use logic but rather implied meaning of actions.
So for a intuitive-feeling style are those who continuously seek for self expression. They are not comfortable with routine tasks. Do not like following set procedures but act intuitively.
These set of people will do better on politics of public relations

This video describes the brewing industry. Large brewers and craft brewers are both a part of the industry because: a.all beers taste the same. b.they are operated with the same business organization and have the same ownership structure. c.they both offer products that serve the same customer need. d.They are implementing the same strategic plan to gain a competitive advantage.
Answer:
c.they both offer products that serve the same customer need.
Explanation:
Industries are organized according to the type of good or service that they offer to the final customers.
Examples of industries are the car industry, the fruit industry, the meat industry, and also the beer industry.
Craft beer makers and large brewers, while differing in many ways like organizational structure, capital structure, economies of scale, and amount of production, have in common that they offer essentially the same product to the final customer: beer. This is why they are considered to be part of the same industry.

Rachel Bailey was quickly hired out of Santa Clara University during the dot-com boom to a company of 100 employees that ran an innovative social networking website in Silicon Valley. She was immediately put in charge of email communication to customers-both existing and potential.
The Internet was quite new to everyone and online communication (via email) had little corporate regulation or set social protocol. Privacy policies were yet to be established. With thousands of individuals discovering the Internet everyday, business was booming for the small Silicon Valley firm.
Rachel handled all online contact with existing users and was asked to market to these existing online community members via email. But she struggled with finding a balance of the right amount of marketing. With Internet competition growing everyday within the social networking websites, these users had plenty of alternatives. And flooding their email inboxes, she thought, wasn't the best way to attract them.
Unfortunately, Rachel's boss had a different approach. The Vice President of Marketing wanted results-he wanted existing customers to upgrade their networking packages and follow through on advertisements. He told Rachel to be as aggressive as possible with her email campaigns. But at the same time, Rachel spoke with coworkers who didn't want to work for a company known for its email spam. They prided themselves on working at an organization that respected its users and didn't abuse the ease of email communication-even within the competitive market.
Rachel found subtle alternatives to the mass emails. She developed links on the company website to advertisements, but she wasn' t getting the results her boss demanded.
One day when Rachel arrived at the office, her boss said he had a brilliant idea. He said that everybody knew someone named Cindy Anderson, so they could send emails to their users from that name to trick them into opening the email, which would display a link to their website.
Rachel was incensed with her boss's idea. "A lot of people are very casual with the truth," she said.
Rachel felt very uncomfortable with the thought of implementing what she considered to be her boss's deceptive idea.
"People trust you with their email addresses," said Rachel. "You have to be responsible and not take advantage of that access."
She worried that existing customers would begin to resent the company and unsubscribe. But she also had a commitment to drawing in as many new customers as she could-and her more subtle tactics weren't working.
Rachel made the decision to stand up to her boss. The following week she told him that his idea was deceitful and would cause customers to lose trust and faith in the company. In the end, it wouldn't be a financially viable solution to their problem.
Rachel proved to be convincing. Her boss took her advice and began to realize that it was a bad idea.
"In the end, we had happy customers and our company gained more value in the highly competitive market," said Rachel.
Discussion Questions:________.
Describe the ethical dilemma or dilemmas Rachel faced.
Do you think Rachel's boss' "Cindy Anderson" strategy is ethically acceptable? Why or why not?

Jessica Silliman was a 2006-07 Hackworth Fellow at The Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
Answer and Explanation:
Describe the ethical dilemma or dilemmas Rachel faced:
Rachael was faced with the ethical dilemma of accepting her boss's deceptive strategy to increase customer conversion or reject it because it is wrong even though she doesn't have an ethical or right way of increasing customer base
Do you think Rachel's boss' "Cindy Anderson" strategy is ethically acceptable? Why or why not?
What Rachel's boss asked for is wrong and unethical because betraying the trust of existing customers and trying to deceive them by using another identity is dishonest
What is Rachel's obligation to her customers and what are Rachel 's obligations to the company?
Rachel's obligation to the company was to increase customer conversion by using all possible email communications to market company products. Her obligation to customers was to not be deceitful
What do you think is the most important factor in how Rachel responded to the situation: That she thought the proposed "Cindy Anderson" strategy was deceitful or that she thought the strategy would cost the company customers?
The most important factor in her response was that she thought the Cindy Anderson strategy was deceitful and ethically unacceptable.
What is the major problem with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator as a measure of personality?
A. It does not include enough dimensions to differentiate all the variety of human personality.
B. It is very difficult to administer.
C. It forces a person to be categorized as elther one type or anothen
D. It does not clearly classify a person into any single type.
It tends to overemphasize intuitive personality traits over analytical personality traits.
Answer:
C. It forces a person to be categorized as either one type or another
Explanation:
Whenever you look at the world as black or white, good or evil, etc., you are bot considering the millions of different varieties of shades that lie in between. For e.g. you can be very extroverted with your peers at work, but very introverted when interacting with your superiors (supervisor, manager).
Another big issue with this test is that one single person can get multiple results (which might vary a lot) when taking the tests on different days.

what features of the timer design appear to offer doorley the strongest advantages over its competitors products
Complete Question:
The ALPHA Timer Development Project (A)
Roger Terry hurried down the hallway toward the planning meeting for the ALPHA timer product development project. Terry had served as project manager for the initial stage of the ALPHA single-block product development, and he was now preparing to start the follow-on development activities.
The ALPHA timer development project was a major effort for Doorley Controls, Inc., to develop a new platform design for its washing machine timer control mechanism. The project was started with a conscious strategy to gain market position with Doorley’s key customers: Whirlpool, Maytag, and Frigidaire. The idea was to create a new core product design to increase sales to Whirlpool. Doorley planned to replace multiple existing timers with a lower cost, single product platform with enhancements. While existing timers were made with numerous plastic and metal parts requiring a lot of hand assembly, the ALPHA would be made mostly of molded plastic parts, assembled by automation. The product concept also included a unique feature called quiet cycle-select, which allowed the user to index the control shaft quietly. The idea for it came out of Doorley’s internal quality function deployment (QFD) analysis. The results of the ALPHA QFD analysis are shown in the attached document.
What features of the timer design appear to offer Doorley the strongest advantages over its competitors products?
Answer:
Doorley Controls, Inc.
ALPHA Timer Development Project
Features of the Timer Design that appear to offer Doorley the strongest advantages over its competitors' products
By examining the QFD Diagram attached, one can spot the features that offer Doorley the strongest advantages over its competitors' products. They include the following:
There is no switching during manual advance.The timer has application-specific contacts.The quality is improved.There is improved reliability.The device does not allow for contamination.There are timing and bus testing features.Explanation:
Doorley's competitive advantages in the timer device are derived from the features of the new improved timer which will allow its major customers and the users to enjoy the better quality, higher reliability, and cheaper price being offered than its rivals'. These factors allow Doorley to generate more sales or superior margins compared to its competitive market rivals. Doorley also derives competitive advantage by installing "a unique feature in the timer called 'quiet cycle-select,' which allows the user to index the control shaft quietly."
Suppose Mattel, the producer of Barbie dolls and accessories (sold separately), has two types of consumers who purchase its dolls: low-value consumers and high-value consumers. Each of the low-value consumers tends to purchase one doll and one accessory, with a total willingness to pay of $72. Each of the high-value consumers buys one doll and two accessories and is willing to pay $138 in total.

Tim purchased a bounce house one year ago for $6,500. During the year it generated $4,000 in cash flow. If Time sells the bounce house today, he could receive $6,100 for it. What would be his rate of return under these conditions?
Answer: 55.39%
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Tim purchased a bounce house one year ago for $6,500 and that during the year it generated $4,000 in cash flow and if he sells the bounce house today, he could receive $6,100 for it.
His rate of return will be:
= [($6100 + $4000) - $6500]/$6500 × 100
= ($10100 - $6500)/$6500 × 100
= $3600/$6500 × 100
= 0.5539 × 100
= 55.39%

This morning you purchased a stock that just paid an annual dividend of $3.10 per share. You require a return of 9.2 percent and the dividend will increase at an annual growth rate of 4 percent. If you sell this stock in three years, what will your capital gain be?
Answer:
$2.48
Explanation:
This morining a stock was purchased.
The stock just paid an annual dividend of $3.10 per share
A return of 9.2% is required
= 9.2/100
= 0.092
The growth rate is 4%
= 4/100
= 0.04
The first step is to calculate today's price
= D1/(r-g)
=3.10× 1+0.04/0.092-0.04
= 3.10×1.04/0.092-0.04
= 3.224/0.052
= $62
The price at the end of year 3 can be calculated as follows
= today's price × (1+g)
= 62×(1+0.04)
= 62×1.04
= $64.48
Therefore, the capital gain can be calculated as follows
Price at the end of year 3-today's price
= $64.48-$62
= $2.48
Hence the capital gain is $2.48
