Answer: He should go with the ethically correct option which is not to mix the older produce with the newer one.

Explanation:

In ethical dilemmas especially ones involving business it is best to go for the ethically right option. Unethical decisions can give short term results but they are almost always caught out in the future meaning that the business faces ruin in the future. Using the cases of Enron and Worldcom as examples where the companies engaged in unethical accounting conduct that guaranteed short term success, their fall from grace showed that unethical decisions are not sustainable.

With this in mind he should not mix the produce for his business to survive because there is a high chance he will reject it in future.

Answer:

Yes, this is an ethical dilemma because no choice is 100% right or wrong, and both choices are basically undesirable and equally bad.

Explanation:

Eric has two options:

  1. Keep selling his products like he has been doing so far, i.e. not mixing older products with fresh products, but most probably will go bankrupt and will have to close his business.
  2. Start to save some money by mixing older products with fresh products and hopefully he will be able to save his business, but he will be cheating on his clients and that will eventually come back to bite him.

If he chooses option one, he will probably have to close his business, and if he chooses option two, he will be doing something bad that may eventually cause him to close down also.  

It is easy to say that Eric should do the right thing and sink with the ship, but what if your were Eric? There is an old Cheyenne saying "don't judge a man until you've walked two moons with his moccasins (shoes)".

Eric needs to balance out what is best for him and what is the correct thing to do, and if possible try to come up with a third alternative that isn't so disastrous.

Dahlia can earn​ $60,000 a year working at a relatively safe​ job, or​ $65,000 a year working at a riskier job. The probability
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

C) ​$6.25 million

Explanation:

Compensating wage differentials are paid to workers so that they accept tasks that are considered dangerous or hazardous.

A worker’s utility function is:

Utility = f (w, risk of injury)

Dahlia's safe job utility function = f(60000, 0.0002)

Dahlia's riskier job utility function = f(65000, 0.001)

A 400% increase in risk will increase Dahlia's salary by $5,000,

When you are using the compensation differential approach, you can determine the value of a life by dividing the compensating differential by the increased chance of death.

($65,000 - $60,000) / (1/1000 - 1/5,000) = $5,000 / 0.0008 = $6,250,000

Cost of Debt KatyDid Clothes has a $150 million (face value) 30-year bond issue selling for 104 percent of par that carries a co
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

the annual pre-tax cost of debt is 10.56%

Explanation:

the beore-tax component cost of debt will be the actual market rate of the bonds, as they offer an interest rate of 11% but are selling at 104 points not at par thus, there is a difference between the rates.

We solve for the rate which makes the coupon and maturity 104

with excel or a financial calculator

PV of the coupon payment

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 5.500 (100 x 11%/2)

time 60 (30 years x 2 payment per year)

rate <em>0.052787474</em>

5.5 \times \frac{1-(1+0.0527874736258532)^{-60} }{0.0527874736258532} = PV\\

PV $99.4338

PV of the maturity

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

Maturity   100.00

time   60.00

rate  <em>0.052787474</em>

\frac{100}{(1 + 0.0527874736258532)^{60} } = PV  

PV   4.57

<em><u>Adding both we should get 104 which is the amount the bonds is selling:</u></em>

PV coupon $99.4338 + PV maturity  $4.5662 = $104.0000

The rate is generated using goal seek or wiht a financial calculator.

This rate is a semiannual rate, so we multiply by 2 to get the annual cost of debt:

0.052787474 x 2 = 0.105574947

The cost of debt for the firm is 10.56%

Suppose the government finds a major defect in one of a company's products and demands that the product be taken off the market.
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

a. demand for existing shares of the stock and the price will both fall.

Explanation:

The stock price is formed by the interaction of supply and demand of companies's shares and when a news like this is released is expected that the future cashflows of that company will drop. Being share buyers rational actors, the demand for the company's shares will drop, therefore the price of the company will drop as well.
