Answer: 3. a motion to dismiss.
Explanation:
When a party believes that a case has no legal basis, in other words the party does not believe that what they did warrants a court case, they would file a motion to dismiss so as not to waste resources fighting something they see as frivolous.
In this case, NuProducts is essentially filing a motion to dismiss when they say that they did nothing wrong according to the law. They would prefer if the courts simply dismissed the case so that they would not incur costs to fight the case.
The Answer to the question is definitely C.
Answer:
"Perhaps we should explore which stakeholders would stand to win or lose from such a decision."
Explanation:
An ethical decision is one that is aimed towards generating trust from other parties. It shows responsibility, fairness, and caring towards a person.
In this scenario your manager suggests you postpone processing any existing claims in the 4th quarter until the new fiscal year (some claims are as high as $150,000).
The best ethical response will be - Perhaps we should explore which stakeholders would stand to win or lose from such a decision.
This will result in self reflection about who will be affected by the decision. The consideration will not be just the immediate 4th quarter impact of postponing the warranty claims.
This is the most ethical decision among the options.
Answer:
option (B) $10,500
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Cost = $30,000
Useful life = 5 years
Salvage value = 0
Tax rate = 35%
Expected net cash inflow before depreciation and taxes = $20,000 per year
Now,
The total tax shield created by depreciation over the life of project
= Tax rate × ( Amount of depreciation over the life of project )
= 35% × ( Cost - Salvage value )
= 0.35 × ( $30,000 - 0 )
= $10,500
Hence,
The answer is option (B) $10,500
