Ben is assigned by his employer to improve an ultrasonic range-finding device. While working on the improvement, he recognizes t

hat a novel modification of the equipment might be applicable to military submarines, which, if successful, could be worth a lot of money to his employer. However, Ben is a pacifist, a person who opposes war of any kind, and does not want to be involved in military work. He does not develop the idea himself or mention it to anybody else in the company. He has signed an agreement that all inventions he produces on the job are the property of the company but does not believe the agreement is relevant to this situation. If Ben decides whether the potential military application would be used for offensive aims, or only used for defensive purposes, his issue is primarily:

Answer:

1. He has not developed the idea yet

2. His employer knows he his a pacifist so he has the delima is he ethically correct to not develop a product that can be used for warfare.

Explanation:

In this scenario Ben signed an agreement with his employer that all ideas he has developed on the job and while working with the company is a property of the company.

This is a common agreement that gives a company property rights over work developed by their employees.

However since Ben is a pacifist he has an ethical dilemma when he has an idea that can weaponize an ultrasonic range-finding device.

He is justifying his decision by saying the idea has not been developed yet and his employer will not expect him to develop such technology since he is a pacifist.

In the long run equilibrium, a monopolistic competitor will produce to the point at which A) actual average total costs are at t
Artemon [7]

Monopolistic competition is the economic market model with many sellers selling similar, but not identical, products. The demand curve of monopolistic competition is elastic because although the firms are selling differentiated products, many are still close substitutes, so if one firm raises its price too high, many of its customers will switch to products made by other firms. This elasticity of demand makes it similar to pure competition where elasticity is perfect. Demand is not perfectly elastic because a monopolistic competitor has fewer rivals then would be the case for perfect competition, and because the products are differentiated to some degree, so they are not perfect substitutes.

Monopolistic competition has a downward sloping demand curve. Thus, just as for a pure monopoly, its marginal revenue will always be less than the market price, because it can only increase demand by lowering prices, but by doing so, it must lower the prices of all units of its product. Hence, monopolistically competitive firms maximize profits or minimize losses by producing that quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost, both over the short run and the long run.

yan [13]

Answer: Option (C) is correct.

Net cash provided by operating activities = $34

Cash dividends = $7

Free Cash Flow = Cash Provided by Operating Activities - Dividends - Capital Expenditure

                           = $34 - $7 - $24

                           = $3

Therefore, the company's free cash flow was $3.
