Explain the meanings of market timing and security selection, highlighting their similarities and differences.
elena-s [515]
<h3>What Is Market Timing?</h3>

Market timing is the act of moving investment funds into or out of financial markets – or moving funds between asset classes – based on predictive methods. If an investor can predict when the market will go up and down, they can trade to turn that market movement into a profit.

<h3>What is security selection?</h3>

Security selection is the process of determining which financial stocks to include in a particular portfolio. Good stock picks can generate profits during market ups and downs and climate losses during bear markets.

Security selection implies picking individual stocks that the fund manager expects will outperform the market as a whole. Market timing implies betting on systematic risk factors. We see that Swedish equity mutual funds engage in both these types of active behaviour.

You are negotiating a new labor contract with union officials. The contract covers a plant that has experienced operating losses
Maslowich

Answer:

Is bluffing ethical? Under what circumstances?

Bluffing is basically lying, and lying is wrong. But on some circumstances, specially when you are carrying out a game strategy (and want to win), then bluffing might not be so bad.

Personally, I believe that bluffing is not unethical when you are negotiating with unions. I have nothing against unions, but their duty is to get the highest possible salary and benefits for their members. On the other hand, the company must balance the interests of its employees, the community and its shareholders. Union delegates always make very high initial demands, the company offers a very low increase or raise, and then after negotiating you get to a middle point. So bluffing could be just a strategy in order to negotiate some concessions, e.g. no pay raise until the company starts making a profit again.

What would Kant and Mill say?

Kant believed that the morality of someone's actions should be judged based on their duty. Since it is your duty to try to get some labor concessions, then bluffing is not unethical.

Mill believed that the morality of someone's actions should be judged based on the results, or how much good or happiness results from them. In this case, I suppose that more people would be unhappy than happy if you actually get some labor concessions, so bluffing would be unethical.

What would be the result under the Front Page test?

The front page test basically wants you to look at the events from the point of view of a third party that is not involved in the actions. If you could read this on the front page of a newspaper and it happened to someone else, would it be ethical or unethical? Since I believe that bluffing is a valid game strategy, then if I read this on a newspaper I would be OK with it.

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Kathleen Taylor

a. The break-even lawns she needs to mow is:

= 31.25 lawns.

b. She can then expect to make $4,320 in Service Revenue and $2,304 in net income.

c. She should not lower her price.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cost of equipment = $500

Cost per lawn = $14

Price per lawn = $30

Contribution per lawn = $16 ($30 - $14)

Break-even point = $500/$16

= 31.25 lawns

Available period = 8 weeks

Number of lawns per day = 3

Working days per week = 6

Number of lawns per week = 18

Number of lawns for the period = 144 (18 * 8)

She can then expect to make $4,320 in Service Revenue and $2,304 in net income.

Number of lawns for the period = 192 (4 * 6 * 8)

Service revenue = $4,800 (192 * $25)

Net income = $2,112 (192 * $11)
