Not more than hundred (100) words describe the nature of Ethics as a core branch of Philosophy.

1 answer:

4 0

Ethics is the branch of philosophy that explores the nature of moral virtue and evaluates human actions. Philosophical ethics differs from legal, religious, cultural and personal approaches to ethics by seeking to conduct the study of morality through a rational, secular outlook that is grounded in notions of human happiness or well-being. A major advantage of a philosophical approach to ethics is that it avoids the authoritarian basis of law and religion as well as the subjectivity, arbitrariness and irrationality that may characterize cultural or totally personal moral views. (Although some thinkers differentiate between "ethics," "morals," "ethical" and "moral,")

The Alston Inn is managed by Inns, Inc. The management contract requires 6 percent of total revenue to be transferred to the rep

Scrat [10]

Answer:

1.) Inn's annual total revenue = $7,300,000

2.) Inn's annual net operating income = $1,095,000

3.) Inn's debt service coverage ratio for the year = 9.13

Explanation:

The room revenue is first calculated as follows:

Room revenue = Number of guestrooms * ADR * Percentage of occupancy * 365 days = 200 * $100 * 70% * 365 = $5,110,000

We can now proceed as follows:

1.) Determine the Inn's annual total revenue.

Annual total revenue = Room revenue / Paid occupancy percentage = $5,110,000 / 70% = $7,300,000

2.) Determine the Inn's annual net operating income

Annual net operating income = Total revenue * 15% = $7,300,000 * 15% = $1,095,000

3.) Determine the Inn's debt service coverage ratio for the year.

Debt service coverage ratio = Net operating income / Annual debt service = $1,095,000 / ($10,000 * 12) = 9.13

Basic Break-Even Calculations Suppose that Larimer Company sells a product for $24. Unit costs are as follows: Direct materials

kati45 [8]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Selling price= $24.

Unit costs are as follows:

Direct materials $4.98

Direct labor 2.10

Variable factory overhead 1.00

Variable selling and administrative expense 2.00

Total unitary variable cost= $10.08

Total fixed factory overhead= $26,500

Total fixed selling and administrative expense= $15,260.

a. Variable cost per unit= 4.98 + 2.1 + 1 + 2= $10.08

Unitary contribution margin= 24 - 10.08= $13.92

Contribution margin ratio= contribution margin / selling price

Contribution margin ratio= 13.92 / 24= 0.58

Variable cost ratio= unitary variable cost / selling price

Variable cost ratio= 10.08 / 24= 0.42

<u>c. To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (26,500 + 15,260) / 13.92

Break-even point in units= 3,000

<u>d. Finally, the contribution margin income statement:</u>

Sales= 3,000*24= 72,000

Total variable cost= 3,000*10.08= (30,240)

Contribution margin= 41,760

Total fixed factory overhead= (26,500)

Total fixed selling and administrative expense= (15,260)

Net operating income= 0

You own a portfolio of two stocks, a and

Furkat [3]

Stock a is $2000. Calculate 10.5% of $2000, which equals $210.
Stock b is $3000. Calculate 14.7% of $3000, which is $441.

The expected return on the portfolio is $210 + $441, which equals $651.

A T-bill that is 290 days from maturity is selling for $96,040. The T-bill has a face value of $100,000.

umka2103 [35]

Answer: a 0.049, 0.05 and 0.05 or 5%

b 0.039, 0.041 and 0.041 or 4%

Explanation:

Ai discounted yield = [(Face value - purchase price)/Face value] * 360/ maturity

Discount yield =:[(100000 - 96040)/100000] * 360/290

= 0.0396* 1.24

= 0.049

ii. Bond equivalent yield (BEY) = [(Face value - purchase price)/purchase value] * 365/M

BEY= [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/290

BEY = 0.05

iii EAR = [(1+BEY/n)exp n - 1)

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/(365/290)) exp (360/290) - 1]

EAR = [(1 + 0.05/1.26) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = (1.04) exp (1.26) - 1

EAR = 0.05 or 5%

The same formula are applied for the B part

Discount yield = [(100000-96040)/100000] * 360/365

Discount yield = 0.0396 * 0.986

= 0.039

B ii. BEY = [(100000 - 96040)/96040] * 365/365

BEY = 0.041 × 1

BEY = 0.041

B iii. EAR = [(1 + 0.041/(365/365))exp (365/365) - 1

EAR = (1 + 0.41) - 1

EAR = 0.041 or 4%
