Machine Malfunction. Bruno, the president of a corporation operating work out facilities, convinced the board of directors to ap

prove a large purchase of a type of fitness machine called "Perfect Body." Bruno had carefully investigated the machine and did a presentation to the board on its purported benefits. Unfortunately, after the purchase, it was announced that "Perfect Body" was actually a very dangerous machine that should not be used. The manufacturer of "Perfect Body" went bankrupt, and the corporation lost $200,000 on the purchase of the machines. The shareholders are furious and want to sue Bruno and the directors. The board of directors agrees to allow Frances, the ringleader of the shareholders, to purchase stock of the company at below its fair market value. She purchases a considerable amount of stock on that basis, but says that the shareholders plan to continue with an action against Bruno and the board members.
Required:
1. Under which of the following should Bruno and the board of directors defend themselves in an action brought by shareholders for harming the corporation?
O The Superior Judgment Rule
O The Research and Investigation Rule
O The Business Judgment Rule
O The Rule of Corporate Integrity

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": The Business Judgment Rule.

Explanation:

The Business Judgment Rule is a law that protects a company's Board of Directors (BoD) from inconsistent allegations from shareholders stating that the BoD is acting against the stakeholders' interest. The law presumes that members of the BoD act in "<em>good faith</em>" and that they do not always make the best decisions.  

The Business Judgment Rule helps managers, in such a way, to avoid laws where there is no substantial proof that they had intentions to go against the investors' will.

Why would a producer decide to produce in a competitive market in which she will earn zero profit in the long run? Choose one: A
zhenek [66]

Answer:

Option A : Because at zero profit, with her revenue, she can cover all her costs—explicit and implicit (opportunity cost).

Explanation:

Perfectly Competitive Market

This is simply a market the market participants are said to be price takers that is no consumption decisions by individual consumers and no production decisions by individual producers can be able to affect the market price of a good.

Perfectly Competitive Industry

This is simply an industry where producers are said to be price takers.

Explicit Costs

These are costs that are simply known as "out-of-pocket" costs or in accounting costs. They are an individual's fixed and variable costs of doing business.

Implicit Costs

These are costs that do not partains to monetary payment as they are the opportunity costs of doing business.

It is said that at zero profit, the revenue covers all the costs, including the implicit ones. The fact that her implicit costs are covered shows that no outside option or opportunity that is superior to the zero economic profit option is chosened.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

b. They reflect the laws and regulations that affect social and economic behavior.

Explanation:

Morals are not universal and vary greatly depending on the underlying culture and religion. Even still in each civilization, there are many grey areas in the concept of morals. One thing that seems to be constant is that they reflect the laws and regulations that affect social and economic behavior. In this scenario, some developing countries believe that using children as a cheaper form of labor is fine since the children are getting paid and therefore, there are no laws prohibiting this action so people see it as morally correct. While other countries that see it as morally wrong have laws and regulations to prevent people from performing such actions. These laws and regulations are a form of dictating social and economic behavior by stating that it is morally wrong.
