Answer:

<h3>The ethical theory of rights is being violated in this case.</h3>

Explanation:

As we know sexual harassment is a violation against an individual's civil rights, the ethical theory of rights is being violated in this case. The part-time worker who is being harassed by another employee is <u>being violated of her right to a safe workplace under the civil rights.</u>

The ethical theory of rights provides that rights designed and formulated by the society and the government <u>should be upheld with commitment and priority. </u>They are the basic human rights that guarantees equal and dignified life for all.

If any unethical behaviors at the workplace such as sexual harassment, abuse, threat, etc, occurs, it is a direct violation to the basic human rights of an individual.

All of the following are reasons to use an estimated method of costing inventory except: A. perpetual inventory records are not
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The answer is: B) purchase records are not maintained.

Explanation:

There are two methods for estimating inventory costs:

  1. Gross Profit Method : uses the information from the income statement. If operating conditions remain similar, the proportion between total sales, profits and COGS should be similar (lets say profit is 30% and COGS is 70% of total sales). You can estimate your inventory costs by using the information on total sales.  
  2. Retail Method: It is used mostly by merchandising firms (retailers) that have consistent mark-ups. You have to determine the proportion between cost and retail price (lets say the COGS is 80% of the retail price). Then if you are given the retail inventory, you can determine the COGS using the proportion determined previously.
