a. Yes, because it is good business to maximize profits, and those Foreign citizens are better off with a job than without one.

b. No, because Gamma has an ethical obligation to make sure that people who work For them, either directly or indirectly, are being treated Fairly.

c. No, because Gamma has a legal and ethical duty to make sure that foreign suppliers maintain working conditions that meet or exceed American standards.

The answer is B. Gamma has a responsibility to ensure that its workers, including those working indirectly for the company, are being treated fairly. This is a key ethical concept in international business, and often a source of controversy, as many large American companies outsource low-cost labor, and often the conditions that these employees work in are far from fair.

Correction of Income for              2020             2021

1) Sales                                             (39,000)         39000

2) Inventory                                      (9,400)            9,400

3) Entry  wrongly made                    14,400           14,400

4) Correct Entry                                15,680           15,680

5<u>) Add Depreciation                           860               930</u>

<u>Corrected Income                       $ 86540         $ 160,610   </u>

<u></u>

1) Sales are included when the purchaser gets the title . They are the liability of the seller so they will be deducted from 2020 sales and added to 2021.

2) Ending inventory is deducted from COGS as it is understated it will be deducted from 2020 income and added to the 2021 income when it becomes the opening inventory.

3) Interest was received not given so the it will be treated as revenue not expense and added to the income statement.

4) Actual interest received  was ($ 240,000- $16,000)* 7% = $ 15680. So an entry for actual interest will be made.

5) Additional amount of depreciation was charged to 2020 and 2021 income statement  which will be added back. 10 % of $ 8600= $ 860 for 2020 and 10% of $ 9,300= $ 930 for 2021

Renfroe Corporation is considering the purchase of a machine that would cost $22,712 and would have a useful life of 5 years. Th
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

option (A) 12%

Explanation:

Data provided :

Purchasing cost of the machine = $ 22,712

Useful life of the machine = 5 years

Net annual cash inflow generated per year = $ 6,300

Now,

at for the value for internal rate of return,

the present value of inflow = Present value of the outflow for the 5 years

let the internal rate of return be r%

thus,

$ 22,712 = \frac{6,300}{1.0r^1}+\frac{6,300}{1.0r^2}+\frac{6,300}{1.0r^3}+\frac{6,300}{1.0r^4}+\frac{6,300}{1.0r^5}

on solving the above relation, we get

r ≈ 12%

Hence, option A is correct

Lelu [443]

Answer:

True

Prime's net realizable value of accounts receivable = accounts receivable balance - allowance for uncollectible accounts = $100,000 - $7,000 = $93,000
