Answer:

-$5,114.07

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of all year cash flows - initial investment

where,

Present value of all year cash flows = Annual cash flows × PVIFA factor at 9 years for 8% + Salvage value × discount factor at 8%

= $38,000 × 6.2469  + $15,000 × 0.500248967

= $237,382.20 + $7,503.73

= $244,885.93

Refer to the PVIFA table and discount factor table

And, the initial investment is $250,000

So, the net present value is

= $244,885.93 - $250,000

= -$5,114.07

: Jane and Sarah are both investors. Jane has invested thousands of dollars into one small company. Sarah has invested hundreds
Alja [10]

Answer:

Sarah has invested in sole proprietorship while Jane has invested in corporations

Explanation:

Sole proprietorship is owned and run by a single owner who is legally obligated for all business assets and liabilities. Since Sarah has invested thousands of dollars in one company, it looks like she has invested in sole proprietorship in which she is the owner.

Corporation is run by group of people who are not legally obligated for the assets and liabilities of the corporation. People can invest in more than one corporation as they are open for public offer. These investors earn dividends based on the earnings earned by the corporations So, possibly Jane has invested hundreds of dollars in different large companies.

Answer:

Bribery in the world of business typically happens when an organization or representative of an organization gives financial benefits to an official to gain favor or manipulate a business decision - True.

Bribery is the giving or offering of items of value (especially money) to a government official in exchange for favorable treatment. Bribing is unethical and illegal, but it is common practice in many countries, so common that it is expected.

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act was implemented in the aftermath of disclosures that businesses were violating the IMA Code of Ethics - True.

In the seventies, U.S. Government investigations found that hundreds of U.S. companies operating abroad had turned to bribery in order to gain the favor of foreing officials. This conduct is related to the statement explained above: bribery is pervasive in many countries around the world.

Managers are required to follow specific rules issued by the IMA for internal financial reporting. - False.

The IMA Code of Ethics does not provide specific rules for financial reporting (these specific rules are found instead either in the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or in the or in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)).

The IMA Code of Ethics instead provides principles, or ethical guidelines, to be followed by participants in the management accounting profession.

Ethics is more than obeying laws - True.

Ethics goes beyond what is legally right, and is more related to what is morally right. An ethical person should do the right thing even if there is no legal code explicitely telling him to do so.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act addressed public company accounting reform. - True

This act added requirements for public accounting firms, and included legal penalties including possible jail time for certain types of misconduct. The Act was enacted following major accounting scandals such as Enron.
