Bill Braddock is considering opening a Fast 'n Clean Car Service Center. He estimates that the following costs will be incurred during his first year of operations: Rent $9200 Depreciation on equipment $7000 Wages $16400 Motor oil $2.00 per quart. He estimates that each oil change will require 5 quarts of oil. Oil filters will cost $3.00 each. He must also pay The Fast 'n Clean Corporation a franchise fee of $1.10 per oil change since he will operate the business as a franchise. In addition utility costs are expected to behave in relation to the number of oil changes as follows:  Number of Oil Changes  Utility Costs 4,000$6,0006,000$7,3009,000$9,60012,000$12,60014,000$15,000\begin{array} { c c } \text { Number of Oil Changes } & \text { Utility Costs } \\\hline 4,000 & \$ 6,000 \\6,000 & \$ 7,300 \\9,000 & \$ 9,600 \\12,000 & \$ 12,600 \\14,000 & \$ 15,000\end{array} Number of Oil Changes 4,0006,0009,00012,00014,000 Utility Costs $6,000$7,300$9,600$12,600$15,000 Bill Braddock anticipates that he can provide the oil change service with a filter at $25 each.

Discuss sexism.

On Apr 30, 2024


Male chauvinism is a feeling of male superiority over females, which is also known as sexism. A man who has attitudes and stereotypes of women in society, may choose to see them as being of less worth-in other words, he might dehumanize women. This can happen in different ways.Women in most societies are expected to be feminine, a term associated with disempowering behavior like dependence, instability, emotional insecurity, a willingness to take orders but not give them, and passivity. When these expectations toward women exist in a workplace, so does prejudice.
