Answer / Explanation

To properly answer this question, let us first understand what the adjusted winner procedure is:

The adjusted winner procedure is a method for dividing assets between two individuals especially in the aspects of couples. It requires each person to divide 100 points among the assets which will reflect their relative values of the items.

It also requires that the assets be divisible.

Each item is then tentatively assigned to the party which placed more points on that item or asset.

The person who has a lower point total then acquires from the other the part of the asset for which the ratio of the recipient's point assignment to the donor's point assignment is highest (this ratio will be less than one, since the donor has the item because she valued it more).

The amount of the asset that is transferred is determined so that after it is transferred, the point totals of the two parties will be equal.

This particular type of process is rift free and it is good to know that no other division could increase the satisfaction of both parties.

Now referring back to the narrate of the question asked, The answer is b. yes, by reporting Xylophone 100, yoyo zebra 0 Carrie can get a better outcome for herself by lying about her point values.

Answer from: Juanga122

(e)Yes, by reporting xylophone 0, yoyo 0, zebra 100.

Explanation:

Carrie get better outcome lying about her point values by reporting xylophone 0, yoyo 0, zebra 100.

Doing this, Larry saying the truth will get xylophone (50) and Yoyo(30). Total of 80

Carrie lying will be getting zebra(100). Total of 100

With this lies, Carie will get get better point for herself.

Properties of adjusted winners procedure are:

Envy-freeness: Each agent believes that his share of the goods is at least as good as the other share;

Equitability: The "relative happiness levels" of both agents from their shares are equal;

Pareto-optimality: no other allocation is better for one agent and at least as good for the other agent;

Proportionate: At most one good has to be divided between the agents.

Each of the following scenarios is based on facts in anactual fraud. categorize each scenario as primarily indicating (1) anincentive to commit fraud, (2) an opportunity to commit fraud, or(3) a rationalization for committing fraud. also state your reasoningfor each scenario.a. there was intense pressure to keep the corporation ' stock from declining further. this pressure came from investors, analysts,and the ceo, whose financial well-being was significantly dependent on the corporation ' s stock price.b. a group of top-level management was compensated (mostly in the form of stock-options) well in excess of what would be considered normal for their positions in this industry.c. top management of the company closely guards internal financial information, to the extent that even some employees on a “need-to-know basis” are denied full access.d. managing specific financial ratios is very important to the company, and both management and analysts are keenly observant of variability in key ratios. key ratios for the company changed very little even though the ratios for the overall industry were quite volatile during the time period.e. in an effort to reduce certain accrued expenses to meet budget targets, the cfo directs the general accounting department to reallocate a division’s expenses by a significant amount. the general accounting department refuses to acquiesce to the request, but the journal entry is made trough the corporate office. an accountant in the general accounting department is uncomfortable with the journal entries required to reallocate divisional expenses. he brings his concerns to the cfo, who assures him that everything will be fine and that the entries are necessary. the accountant considers resigning, but he does not have another job lined up and is worried about supporting his family. therefore, he never voices his concerns to either the internal or external auditors.f. accounting records were either nonexistent or in a state of such disorganization that significant effort was required to locate or compile them.
