Answer:

C) Paying a bribe to a company executive in order to be awarded a contract.

Explanation:

Not only politicians or public officials are corrupt, in order for corruption to exist, there must be some private party willing to give a public servant something in exchange for an illegal favor.

During the past few years a huge corruption scandal was uncovered in Brazil, called the lavajato (car wash in English). The most important result was not only the billions of dollars recovered from public servants and politicians, but the fact that the owners and upper management of virtually all the largest Brazilian corporations were sent to jail as accomplices. It is not common that the richest people in a country are sent to jail.

Answer:

Explanation:

My E-Commerce business has two main decision-makers. As a team, we had a budget of $1000 USD which we decided to use on marketing. We ultimately decided on placing banner ads on 2 popular sites that matched our products. Doing this we missed out on other opportunity costs such as adding another product line and marketing sample products to popular influencers. Both of which should have been considered because they could have just as easily brought as many or even more customers than having placed the ads.

The behavior is unethical as the overstatement in the figures is wrong.

<h3>What is an ethical behavior?</h3>

Honesty, fairness, and equity in interpersonal, professional, and academic relationships, as well as research and scholarly activities, are characteristics of ethical behavior. Individuals and groups of people's dignity, diversity, and rights are all respected in ethical behavior.

Obedience to company rules, effective communication, taking responsibility, accountability, professionalism, trust, and mutual respect for coworkers.

In this case, for the past 10 years, the director deliberately overstated the labor and equipment needs by 20 percent when preparing the budget request. This is unethical.

In order to cut down the padding, there should be a final review on the budget before it's submitted for approval.

Suppose the Fed decides it needs to pursue an expansionary policy. Assume people hold no cash, the reserve requirement is 50 per

DENIUS [597]

Answer:

Because the current money multiplier is <u>2</u>, the Fed would <u>BUY $500,000</u> worth of bonds, <u>INCREASING</u> the monetary base and so increasing the money supply by $1 million.

Explanation:

if the Fed wants to increase the money supply by $1 million, then it would need to purchase US securities worth $500,000. The formulas used to calculate the impact of the Fed's operations are:

increase in money supply = additional funds x money multiplier

money multiplier = 1 / reserve ratio = 1 / 50% = 2
desired increase in money supply = $1 million

$1,000,000 = additional funds x 2

additional funds = $1,000,000 / 2 = $500,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Sales price = $9 million

Estimated annual gross income = $750,000

The gross income multiplier is defined as the ratio of sales price to its effective gross income.

cember 31 of each year. Rupar accounts for the bonds as a held-to-maturity investment, and uses the effective interest method. I

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

B. $3,373

Explanation:

The computation is given below:

For Held- to -Maturity investment

Face Value of the bond = 100,000

Coupon rate = 6%, for Semi-annual Period should 6% ÷ 2 = 3%

Effective rate = 7% For Semi-annual Period should be 7% ÷ 2 = 3.5%

Now

Purchase Price of the Bond is

= 100,000 - 4000

= 96,000

Now

First interest :

Cash interest = 100,000 × 3% = 3,000

interest Revenue = 96,000 × 3.5% = 3,360

So,

Discount Amortized is

= 3360 - 3,000

= 360

And,

Carrying Value of the Bond should be

= 96,000 + 360

= 96,360

For Second YEar

Interest Revenue = Carrying Value Effective interest Rate

= 96,360 × 3.5%

= 3,372.6

= $3,373
