Answer:

d. a palter

Answer:

D) a palter

Explanation:

Immanuel Kant was a German philosopher that proposed the doctrine of transcendental idealism. This doctrine states that as individuals we view objects and events not as they really are, but as they appear to us relative to our ideas or preconceptions. He proposed his categorical imperative which was that the truth should be told every time, no matter what.

A palter is an old word defined as a deliberate wrong response or act, given or made to confuse someone else.

In this case, you know Bill is not working and you also know that what he is doing is not right, but you choose to lie to your boss in an attempt to cover Bill's bad actions. Obviously the relationship with Bill is more important to you than what happens to your work (what affects a company, affects its employees and customers).

Your company has just taken out a 1-year installment loan for $82,500 at a nominal rate of 12.0% but with equal end-of-month pay
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

89.63% of 2nd month payment will go towards the payment of principal.

Explanation:

Loan Payament per month = r ( PV ) / 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n

r = rate per period = 12% per year = 1% per month

n = number months = 12 months

PV =  present value of all payments = $82,500

P = payment per month = ?

P = 1% ( $82,500 ) / 1 - ( 1 + 1% )^-12

P = $7,330 per month

Month Payments Principal Interest Balance

1                 -7330              -6505     -825       75995

2                -7330              -6570      -760      69,425

Percentage of Principal Payment  = Principal payment / totla monthly payment = $6,570 / $7,330 = 0.8963 = 89.63%

Rudik [331]

Answer: $92,880

Explanation:

The Gross Profit can be calculated by simply removing the cost from the sales amount.

It is stated that the additional processing will yield 10,000 bags of Premium Green and 3,600 bags of Green Deluxe, which can be sold for $7.55 and $5.55 per bag.

Sales figure is therefore,

= 75,500 + 19,980

= $95,480

Subtracting the cost to get,

= 95,480 - 2,600

= $92,880

The total gross profit would is $92,880.

Ben, a product manager at SunRise Juice Co., is having a hard time choosing the wording for a new ready-made fruit smoothie prod
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

  • I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting and do some research.

Explanation:

<em>I think Ben is right</em>. Even though the statement is technically correct, it may mislead customers.

Customers may interpret the phrase "<em>no sugar added</em>" as if the product did not contain any sugar.

Thus, customers interested in drinking beverages without sugar at all might think  they are "safe" consuming the smoothie beverage, when in reallity each <em>smoothie's bottle contains sugar 35 g of naturally occurring sugars from the fruit.</em>

Customers deserve to be certain on what they are buying, thus the labels must be a sincere help for them, and not ambiguos at all.

This is a "gray zone" and an example of what in ethics is called a dilema.

I think the decision should be shared by a wider team and based on some research.

I think Ben should encourage the Senior Management to call a multidisciplynary meeting, where the subject is widely discussed. Also, I would suggest Ben to do some research, look for precedents about labeling  in the industry, and try to learn the opinion of the FDA about this sensitive matter.
