Managers often use a(n) utilitarian approach when making organizational decisions - using financial performance such as profit as the best definition of what constitutes an ethical choice for the company.
<u>Explanation:</u>
When decisions are taken by taking benefits and the costs that are associated with stakeholders into consideration is an utilitarian approach. The main thing that is considered in this approach for taking any decision is consideration of the outcome and net result of the action that is to be taken.
It aims in taking an action that has greater good for many number of people and less harm for lesser number of people. It considers both the people who gets benefits and those people who suffer from the decision. It mainly focus on choosing an alternate that is more ethical and produces a good balancing of benefits than harm.
Home loan amount = $165,000
Estimated closing costs = $6,187.50
% of estimated closing cost = ?
$165,000 * x% = $6,187.50
x% = $6,187.50 ÷ $165,000
x% = 0.0375
x = 0.0375 x 100 = 3.75
Therefore, estimated closing costs = 3.75% of loan amount = 3.75% of $165,000
Actual closing costs = 3.5% of loan amount = 3.5% of $165,000 = $5775
Difference in estimated and actual closing cost percent = 3.75% - 3.5% = 0.25%
The closing costs were lower than the estimate by 0.25%

Answer:
Given that,
Taxable income = $75,000
Interest from an investment = $10,000
Using the U.S tax rate schedule in 2017
(a) Federal tax will he owe = $5,226.25 + 25% × ($75,000 - $37,950)
= $5,226.25 + $9262.5
= $14,488.75
(b) 
= 19.32%.
(c)
= 17.05%
(d) Chuck is currently in the 25 percent tax rate bracket.
His marginal tax rate on increases in income up to $16,900 and deductions from income up to $37,050 is 25 percent.
Answer:
Present value (PV) = $1,000
Interest rate (r) =8% = 0.08
Number of years (n) = 18 months = 1.5 years
No of compounding periods in a year = 4
Future value (FV) = ?
FV = PV(1 + r/m)nm
FV = $1,000(1 + 0.08/4)1.5x4
FV = $1,000(1 + 0.02)6
FV = $1,000 x 1.1262
FV = $1,126
Explanation:
The amount to be received in 18 months is $1,126. This is obtained by compounding the present value at 8% compounded quarterly for 18 months. The formula to be applied is the formula for future value of a lump sum(single investment).
