Corruptco is a large machine shop that fabricates metals. Corruptco maximizes profits and shareholder value by polluting the local river, where fish are often killed off due to the pollution, rather than installing a pollution abatement device. While this is not specifically in violation of the law, it does put burdens on the local community. Which theory of corporate social responsibility is Corruptco exhibiting
Answer: a. the narrow view, or invisible hand theory
Explanation:
When it comes to the narrow view theory of corporate social responsibility, companies put one thing above all else, the maximisation of shareholder wealth.
Any activity that would help them do so - legally - is considered fair game even if it leads to adverse effects. Corruptco is therefore adhering to this theory because they are polluting the the local river to maximize shareholder value.

The following information is available for Yancey Company: Beginning inventory 600 units at $4 First purchase 900 units at $6 Second purchase 500 units at $7.20 Assume that Yancey uses a periodic inventory system and that there are 700 units left at the end of the month. Compute the cost of ending inventory and the cost of goods sold using the average-cost method.
Answer:
Ending inventory= $4,011
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning inventory 600 units at $4
First purchase 900 units at $6
Second purchase 500 units at $7.20
First, we need to calculate the weighted-average cost per unit:
Weighted-average cost per unit= (4 + 6 + 7.2) / 3
Weighted-average cost per unit= $5.73
Now, the ending inventory:
Ending inventory= 5.73*700
Ending inventory= $4,011

Imagine Two Households each with an income of $65,000 per year. Household A consists of two married individuals both 51 years old with one child who is now 27 years old and out of the house. Household B consists of two married individuals who are 31 years old and have three young children, two of which attend day care. The Government in implementing policies to effect Tax Fairness will concentrate on:
Answer: A. The Benefits Principle
Explanation:
According to the Benefits Received principle, people should pay taxes based on the benefits they receive from the government. This is how the government will effect tax fairness.
For example, Household B has three young children, two of which are in day care while Household A does not have any children at that age. Household A and Household B should therefore not pay the same when it comes to educational taxes. Household B should pay more and Household A should pay less because an educated society is beneficial to everyone but to them, only indirectly.
The government, when carrying out tax equity, will focus on the principle of benefits, as shown in option A.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The principle of benefits is considered whenever the government needs to determine the tax rate of citizens.This principle determines that people who use a particular social service must pay a higher tax rate than those who do not use that service.An example of this can be seen in the families presented above, since, in relation to the tax paid to promote national education, both families must be taxed, since the entire population benefits from this service.
However, family B benefits more from this service, as they have three children who need education promoted by the government, unlike family A, who has an adult child and who have already graduated.
According to the principle of benefits, both families must pay taxes for education, but family B must pay a higher tax than family A.

Short Company purchased land by paying $11,000 cash on the purchase date and agreed to pay $11,000 for each of the next six years beginning one-year from the purchase date. Short's incremental borrowing rate is 7%. On the balance sheet as of the purchase date, after the initial $11,000 payment was made, the liability reported is closest to: (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)
Answer: $52,431.50
Explanation:
The liability reported will be the present value of the six payments of $11,000.
Since this is a constant amount, it will be an annuity:

Creighton Bicycles and Repair should not be satisfied with 75% when it can attain 100% preference for its cross-town competition and other measurable indices. The unfreezing stage convinces organization people that things must change. This information cannot be introduced during the change stage or the refreezing stage.
According to the quantity equation, the price level would change less than proportionately with a rise in the money supply if there were also either a a. rise in output or a rise in velocity. b. fall in output or a rise in velocity. c. rise in output or a fall in velocity. d. fall in output or a fall in velocity.
Answer:
either a rise in output or a fall in velocity.
Explanation:
As per the quantity equation, if the level of the price would varies and less than the increase in the money supply so there should be either a rise in the output or the decline in the velocity
The quantity equation is
MV = PY
where
M denotes money supply
V denotes velocity
P denotes price level
Y denotes output
As the money supply would increase so it would be balance when there is a decline in a velocity or increase in output so that the price would remains the same

The following refers to units processed by a breakfast cereal maker in August. Compute the total equivalent units of production with respect to conversion for August using the weighted-average inventory method. Units of ProductPercent of Conversion Added Beginning Work in Process230,00060% Units started570,000100% Units completed620,000100% Ending Work in Process180,00070% Multiple Choice 758,000 800,000 620,000 746,000 884,000
Answer:
Equivalent units of production= 746,000 units
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Units completed 620,000 100%
Ending Work in Process 180,000 70%
The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.
Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production
Equivalent units of production= 620,000 + (180,000*0.7)
Equivalent units of production= 746,000 units
The price of Microsoft is $37 per share and that of Apple is $43 per share. The price of Microsoft increases to $42 per share after one year and to $47 after two years. Also, shares of Apple increase to $49 after one year and to $59 after two years. If your portfolio comprises 100 shares of each security, what is your portfolio return in year 1 and year 2
Answer: 13.75% ; 16.48%
Explanation:
Year 0:
Microsoft: Current value = 100 at $37 = $3700
Apple: Current value = 100 at $43 = $4300
Portfolio value = $3700 + $4300 = $8000
Year 1:
Microsoft: value at year 1 = 100 at $42 = $4200
Apple: value at year 1= 100 at $49 = $4900
Portfolio value = $4200 + $4900 = $9100
Year 2:
Microsoft: value at year 2 = 100 at $47 = $4700
Apple: value at year 2 = 100 at $59 = $5900
Portfolio value = $4700 + $5900 = $10600
Therefore, Portfolio returns for year 1 will be:
= (value at the end of year 1 / current value) - 1
= (9100 / 8000) - 1
= 1.1375 - 1
= 0.1375
= 13.75%
Portfolio returns for year 2 will be:
= (value at the end of year 2 / value at the end of year 1) - 1
= (10600 / 9100) - 1
= 16.48%

End of Year Beginning of Year Cash and cash equivalents $ 770 $ 69 Accounts receivable (net) 1,950 1,880 Inventory 810 860 Other current assets 590 331 Total current assets $4,120 $3,140 Total current liabilities $2,030 $1,640 For the year, net credit sales were $8,258 million, cost of goods sold was $5,328 million, and net cash provided by operating activities was $1,251 million. Compute the current ratio, accounts receivable turnover, average collection period, inventory turnover and days in inventory at the end of the current year.
Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
1. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities
= $4,120 / $2030
= 2.03
2. Accounts receivable Turnover:
= Net Credit Sales / Average Accounts Receivables
= 8,258 / (1950+1880 / 2)
= 8258 / 1915
= 4.31
3. Average Collection Period
= 365 / Account Receivable Turnover
= 365 / 4.31
= 84.69 Days
4. Inventory Turnover:
= Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory
= 5328 / (810+860 / 2)
= 5328 / 835
= 6.38 times
5. Days in Inventory:
= 365 / Inventory Turnover Ratio
= 365 / 6.38
= 57.21 Days
A company has two options for manufacturing boots. The manual process has monthly fixed costs of $26,380 and variable costs of $5.16 per pair of boots and an automated process with fixed costs of $52,239 per month and variable costs of $2.09 per pair of boots. They expect to sell each pair of boots for $99. What is the monthly break-even quantity (number of units) for the manual process
Answer:
Break-even point for the manual process= 281.11 unit
Explanation:
Break-even point is the level of activity at which a firm must operate such that its total revenue will equal its total costs. At this point, the company makes no profit or loss because the total contribution exactly equals the total fixed costs.
Break even point in units is calculated using this formula:
Break even point in units = Total general fixed cost/ (selling price - Variable cost)
Break-even point for the manual process:
Break-even point in units = $26,380/(99- 5.16) = 281.11 units
Break-even point for the manual process= 281.11 units

B. A country can lower tariffs on imports from countries with most favored nation trading status without changing tariffs on imports from other members of the WTO.
C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
D. If a country imposes higher tariffs on one trading partner, then those high tariffs must be imposed on all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Answer:
C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Explanation:
The correct option is - C. If a country gives a trade advantage to one partner, then this advantage must be extended to all its trading partners belonging to the WTO.
Reason -

A $64,000 machine with a 6-year class life was purchased 2 years ago. The machine will now be sold for $50,000 and replaced with a new machine costing $82,000, with a 10-year class life. The new machine will not increase sales, but will decrease operating costs by $9,000 per year. Simplified straight line depreciation is employed for both machines, and the marginal corporate tax rate is 34 percent. What is the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
Answer:
$6,779
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project
First step is to calculate the depreciation
Depreciation=[($64,000/6 years)-($82,000/10 years)
Depreciation=$10,667-$8,200
Depreciation=$2,467
Now let calculate the Incremental annual cash flow
Incremental annual cash flow ={($9,000-$2,467)
-[($9,000-$2,467)*34%]+$2,467}
Incremental annual cash flow =[($6,533-$2,221)+$2,467]
Incremental annual cash flow =$4,312+$2,467
Incremental annual cash flow=$6,779
Therefore the incremental annual cash flow associated with the project is $6,779

The law of diminishing returns states that as additional increments of resources ______________, the marginal benefit from those additional increments _______________. Select the correct answer below: are reduced, will decline eventually are added; will decline eventually are added; will increase eventually are reduced; will remain the same
Answer:
are added; will decline eventually
Explanation:
the point of diminishing returns sets in when the optimum capacity has been attained. at this level, increasing production by any extra unit would only bring about little or Fall in output.
if we hold the other factors of production constant/fixed while increasing one input, we will get toa stage where more additions of this input by one unit would only bring about decrease in output or cause output to fall.
therefore in summary this law States that as more increments are added, marginal benefit from increments declines eventually.
