Answer:

A) Laws represent the minimum guidelines that companies must follow,whereas a firm's ethical stance may venture beyond the minimum level of compliance.

Explanation:

In the given scenario there are laws that allows community and state police to set up sobriety check points that discourages drunk drivers and saves lives.

The inclusion or removal of applications that helps drunk drivers avoid these checkpoints is not covered by the law. So if a company decides to include such applications it is at their discretion.

Blackberry have chosen to remove applications that helps drunk drivers avoid checkpoints. This is an example of when a company has ventured beyond the minimum level of compliance because of their ethical stance.

Google and Apple however have only ventured beyond the minimum compliance level because they have refused to honour requests by legislators to remove apps that permit smartphone users to navigate around the checkpoints.

Consider a firm with a contract to sell an asset for $151,000 four years from now. The asset costs $96,000 to produce today. a.
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

a) loss of 3,388.87

b) it will break even at 11.99%

Explanation:

we will discount the 151,000 at 13% to know the current sales revenue at the sale

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV

Maturity 151,000

time  4 years

rate  0.13

\frac{151000}{(1 + 0.13)^{4} } = PV

PV   92,611.13

the present value is 92,611.13 while the cost is 96,000

there is a loss of 3.388,87‬

To know at which rate the firm break even:

PV = 96,000

\frac{151000}{(1 + r)^{-4} } = 96,000

\sqrt[-4]{96,000/151,000} - 1 = r

r =  0.11989

You made an investment of $16,500 into an account that paid you an annual interest rate of 2.8 percent for the first 7 years and
iragen [17]

Answer:

0.05712790 or 5.71%

Explanation:

Annual rate of return = [(1+ r1)^n1 x (1 + r2)^n2]^[1/(n1 + n2)] - 1

n1 is the time period in which annual interest rate =2.8%

n2 is the time period in which annual interest rate =7.2%

So, n1 = 7 years and n2 = 14 years

= [(1+2.8%)^7 x (1+7.2%)^14]^[1/(7 + 14)] - 1

= (1.21325420 x 2.64683577) ^ 1 / 21 - 1

= 1.05712790 - 1

= 0.05712790 or 5.71%

blondinia [14]

Answer:

a. 32 refrigerators

b. 29 refrigerators

Explanation:

a. The computation of the economic order quantity is shown below:

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{Annual demand}\times \text{Ordering cost}}{\text{Carrying cost}}}

= \sqrt{\frac{2\times \text{500}\times \text{\$100}}{\text{\$100}}}

= 32 refrigerators

The carrying cost is come from

= $500 × 20%

= $100

b. And, the reorder point is

= Annual demand ÷ total number of days in a year × lead time + service level × Standard deviation during lead time

= 500 ÷ 365 days × 7 days + 1.90 × 10

= 29 refrigerators
