Answer: Increasing current profits when doing so lowers the value of the company's equity.

Explanation:

The main purpose of a company is to increase the wealth of shareholders. In their capacity as stewards for the company, managers should be working therefore to achieve this goal.

When management neglects this goal and begins to seek an improvement in their welfare and wealth instead of the shareholder', this is an Agency problem.

If a Financial manager is increasing current profits even though doing so will lower the value of the company's equity, this can create an agency problem because the shareholders are suffering but the finance manager might get rewarded for increasing profits.

diamong [38]

Answer:

a. $112,000

b.    $7,500

Explanation:

(a) transferred out

Units transferred out are 100% complete for both materials and conversion costs, thus multiply the Total Cost per Equivalent units with the number of units transferred.

Cost of units transferred out = $8 × 14,000 units

                                               = $112,000

(b) in ending work in process

Units of ending work in process are 100% complete in terms of materials ( since materials are entered at the beginning of the process) whilst 25% complete in terms on conversion cost (applied uniformly during production).

Cost of ending work in process

Materials ($3 × 2,000 units)                  = $6,000

Conversion ($3 × (2,000 units × 25%)) =  $1,500

Total Cost                                               = $7,500

kozerog [31]

According to Marxist-socialist tenets, law is strictly subordinate to prevailing economic conditions, such fundamental propositions as private ownership, contracts.

Marxists contend that compared to a capitalist society, a socialist one is far better for the majority of people. "The socialization of production is bound to result in the conversion of the means of production into the property of society," wrote Vladimir Lenin before the Russian Revolution.

The core tenets of the Marxist worldview hold that social class is the most significant category of people and that the economic circumstances of a society form its foundation. Another tenet states that community ownership of the means of production will replace private property as the primary institution of capitalism.

Katen [24]

Answer:

Letter c is correct. <u>It encourages participation from everyone.</u>

Explanation:

People are encouraged to participate in a nominal group technique because it is comprehensive to all participants.

This technique consists of creating group dynamics where each member can express their opinion about what is being proposed by voting, independently and silently, which consequently encourages the breakdown of shyness and reduces the pressure on the participant. This technique has positive effects by balancing the participation of all people and by motivating the group's sense of belonging and effectiveness.
