Answer:

23.25%; 62.01%

Explanation:

(a) Amount received:

= No. of shares × selling price

= 100 × $43

= $4,300

Sales deposit = 60% of Amount received

                        = 0.6 × $4,300

                        = $2,580

Amount paid = No. of shares × Purchase price

                      = 100 × $49

                      = $4,900

Therefore, Loss = $4,900 - $4,300

                           = $600

(b) If buys at $27, then

Amount paid = $27 × 100

                     = $2,700

Profit = $4,300 - $2,700

         = $1,600

Loss on investment:

= ($600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 23.25%

Profit on investment:

= ($1,600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 62.01%

What role do values play in making ethical decisions?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Values play a central role in ethical decision making.It is because core values are so subjective, they will be relative to the individual who holds them. Not all individuals have the same core values and conflicts about them will often arise.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

B, net income for the year was $1,200,000, average assets were $20 million, ROI was 6%

Explanation:

net income is calculated by multiplying the percentage margin by the sales. We have,

(2 ÷ 100) × $60,000,000

= 0.02 × $60,000,000

= $1,200,000

To calculate the average assets, sales is divided by the turnover.

we have, ($60,000,000 ÷ 3.0)

= $20,000,000.

To calculate the ROI, margin and turnover are multiplied.

we have,

(2% × 3.0) = 6%

Cheers.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer: D. supervisors gain experience in and are accountable for solving problems in their work units.

Explanation:

A chain of command is necessary in business because it diversifies authority such that decisions can be made faster.

It works by dividing employees into units which will answer to a manager. That manager will make decisions for the unit and this leads to decisions being made faster because everybody wouldn't have to go to upper management when they already have a manager.

Supervisors/ managers of these units are therefore accountable for their units and will gain experience from being so.
