Suppose you inherit an apartment building from your uncle. you anticipate making some income from the rent on
the 20 apartments in the building. then you discover that the building is rent controlled-the government has put
a ceiling on how much rent you can charge the tenants. when you examine the numbers, you realize that you are
barely making any profit at all. the cost of property taxes, heating fuel, and repairs means you have almost
nothing left over from the rent paid. would you cut back on making repairs and keeping the building in a safe and
livable condition? how might you keep the building in good shape and still turn a profit? is it possible to manage
the building or change it to make it both livable and profitable? defend your answer.

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity. why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity

On the first day of the fiscal year, a company issues an $7,500,000, 8%, five-year bond that pays semiannual interest of $300,000 ($7,500,000 × 8% × ½), receiving cash of $7,740,000. journalize the first interest payment and the amortization of the related bond premium. round to the nearest dollar. if an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
