The Act that protects the employee After reading the case study, I believe both Jean and Betty had a fault. First, Betty did not fill the Leave-of-absence, which she was required to fill before going on maternity leave. When Betty gave birth to the premature child, it was clear that she needed a maternity leave and she was in a position to fill the form though she did not do it. On the other hand, Jean did not act ethically. Before considering replacing Betty in her work duties, she should have notified her either through an official letter or a phone call that she did cause problems to Joanne after she was insulted by Betty. If she was informed Betty on the reasons for the decision, Betty could not have insulted Joanne. The best solution to solve the issue is to have a comprehensive discussion with all parties involved. The conflicting people in this situation are Betty and Jean. Jean should be able to explain to Betty why she decided to take the action of replacing her until she understands.…

Best investment opportunity All the companies are expected to pay, on average, 6% WACC to all its security holders to finance their assets. However, consideration of WACC is not an appropriate method for determining a valid investment opportunity when considering various investment options. WhiThis is because; WACC mixes up the value of the project with the taxation fee hence turning unattractive projects into acceptable ones. Therefore, WACC hinders the valuation of projects based on their own merits. Thus, calculations indicating that the three companies have to pay, on average, 6% WACC signifies that the three companies are subjected to similar financial markets. The other criterion for evaluating the best investment opportunity is by examining the price to earnings ratio (P/E). This ratio transforms the company’s earnings into a measure that can be easily compared with other firms in the same sector of the economy. The ratio informs how much the investors will be willing to pay for a dollar earning in that particular company. Therefore, the higher the ratio, the more investors will be willing to spend. In this case,…
A brand portal A brand portal is a storage center for digital assets. The portals allow users to share crucial digital content externally and internally. However, they offer secure sharing of valuable company assets and guidelines, for instance, brochures and images. When connected to a digital asset management system, brand portals frequently updates as new asset versions upload. With this in mind, it is no longer sufficient to share assets via traditional distribution strategies such as the Dropbox or We Transfer. There is a need for a way out that feels and looks like a distinctive brand. Besides, brand portals are very accommodating at any moment of a company’s progression, from its foundation to its expansion. Even though a brand portal is a cherished asset to many businesses, it is not essential for all companies. Companies with brand portals share faster with externals. As a company grows, it adds value digital content to a company image library. This content is worthwhile to externals wishing to use it for a story, reference, or research. The brand portal refurbishes the conveying of these…
Political economy paradigm Chapter 8 puts the political economy paradigm of a realist in deducing expectations relating to financial, trade and monetary matters while focusing on Japan, the United States and China. The chapter considers the expectations of particular realist theories other than realism itself. Typically, realist theories in relation to the political economy where some may infer competing predictions, all derive their arguments from a common paradigm. The chapter reflects on the idea that trade relations fail as the most appropriate location of gauging behavioural expectations of realists. In the first part of the chapter, the author establishes that framework is primarily an approach as opposed to a theory hence cannot be fake. Realism can be distinguished from the remaining schools of thought, particularly liberalism, in terms of its basic assumptions, the state and war. The latter also significantly shape the distinct interpretation of realists with regard to the implications of the assumptions concerning economic growth. In addition, realists can also be differentiated by their opinion on the state being a distinct actor possessing its individual interests. The chapter…
Fed’s balance sheet The composition of the Fed’s balance sheet is a crucial aspect of monetary policy at the time of crisis because it indicates how much liquidity and flexibility the Fed has to aid to spring the economy. When the Fed has a significant amount of debt and little in liquidity, it will be in a tough position during a crisis and may not be able to boost the economy (Plosser, 2018). They will also have limited tax revenue during a crisis, so it could increase the debt that is taken on by the Fed. By purchasing specific kind of securities, the Fed can affect interest rates and liquidity in specific sectors of credit and financial markets, thus offering a more surgical provision of liquidity where it may be needed the most (as opposed to typical open market purchases, which add reserves to the global banking system). For instance, in relation to the global financial crisis, the Fed bought a significant amount of mortgage-backed securities from the government-sponsored enterprises, which assisted in lowering mortgage rates and support the housing…
