Income Statement (Contribution Margin Format)

Particulars $

Sales 315,000

Less: Variable expenses (216,000)

Contribution Margin 99,000

Less: Fixed costs (70,800)

Net Income 28,200

Since the selling price increased by 10% and no change in variable costs and volume, therefore, we can get -

Sales = $315,000 x (1 + 0.10) = $346,500

In this case, the net income will be as follows:

Sales = $346,500

Less: Variable Costs = (216,000)

Contribution Margin = 130,500

Less: Fixed Costs = (70,800)

Net Income = 59,700

Katherine Potter knew a good thing when she saw it. At least, it seemed so at first. She was traveling in Italy when she spotted

lilavasa [31]

Katherine had to rush to the bank every few months to borrow more money. She didn't really talk to her banker about her financial situation because she had no trouble getting larger loans. You see, she was always on time with her payments. Katherine always took trade discounts to save money on her purchases. That is, she paid all of her bills within 10 days in order to save the 2% discount offered by her suppliers for paying so quickly.
Katherine's products were mostly purchased on credit. They'd buy a few lamps and a pot, and Katherine would let them pay overtime. Some were extremely slow to pay her, taking six months or more.
Katherine noticed a small drop in her business after three years. The local economy was struggling, and many people were losing their jobs. Nonetheless, Katherine's business remained steady. Katherine received a phone call from the bank one day, informing her that she was behind on her payments. She explained that she had been so preoccupied that she had missed the bills. The issue was that Katherine did not have enough money to pay the bank. She frantically called several customers for payment, but none of them could pay her. Katherine had a classic cash flow problem.

<h3>How is it possible to have high sales and high profits and run out of cash while running a business?</h3>

It is entirely possible if you have a high level of accounts receivables and inventory and a low level of accounts payables. A sale is recorded when an invoice is raised, and a shipment is delivered; this does not always imply that you received cash and that it is recorded in your accounts receivable. Similarly, if you keep a lot of inventory, a lot of your money is locked up until the inventory is sold. On the contrary, if your payment terms with your suppliers are less favorable, you will end up paying before your receivables convert to cash. As a result, high sales and profits do not always imply a strong cash position.

Tax return preparers may generally rely on a client's representations without verification unless:

Valentin [98]

Answer:

Tax return preparers may generally rely on a client's representations without verification unless the information seems incorrect, inconsistent, or incomplete, Option A.

Explanation:

A "tax return preparer" usually relies in good faith without verification upon information furnished by a taxpayer or another advisor or third party. But he has the authority to make inquires in case he feels the information given is incomplete or inconsistent. Also, some of the provisions also require few circumstances or facts to be claimed before deduction is made. So, A tax return preparer should make relevant inquiries to decide if the information given is correct as required by an "Internal Revenue Code" section or a regulation to claim either a deduction or a credit.

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.
