The management of dominican sugar company is considering whether to process further raw sugar into refined sugar. refined sugar

can be sold for $2.23 per pound, and raw sugar can be sold without further processing for $1.43 per pound. raw sugar is produced in batches of 42,500 pounds by processing 100,000 pounds of sugar cane, which costs $0.36 per pound of cane. refined sugar will require additional processing costs of $0.49 per pound of raw sugar, and 1.25 pounds of raw sugar will produce 1 pound of refined sugar.

We shall Ignore cost of sugar cane at $0.36 per pound, as its going to be incurred for both processes.

Lets find the cash flow from not processing further:

42500 pounds Sugar @ $1.43 per Pound $60,775

Lets find the cash flow from Processing Further:

If 42500 pounds of raw sugar are processed further, we get 34000 pounds of refined sugar(42500/1.25)

34000 pounds of refined [email protected] $2.23 per pound $75280

Additional Processing charges for 42500 [email protected]$0.49 ($20825)

Total Cash Flow $54995

As can be observed, the organisation earns more when they sell raw sugar, Thus sugar should not be processed further.

You are negotiating a new labor contract with union officials. The contract covers a plant that has experienced operating losses
Maslowich

Answer:

Is bluffing ethical? Under what circumstances?

Bluffing is basically lying, and lying is wrong. But on some circumstances, specially when you are carrying out a game strategy (and want to win), then bluffing might not be so bad.

Personally, I believe that bluffing is not unethical when you are negotiating with unions. I have nothing against unions, but their duty is to get the highest possible salary and benefits for their members. On the other hand, the company must balance the interests of its employees, the community and its shareholders. Union delegates always make very high initial demands, the company offers a very low increase or raise, and then after negotiating you get to a middle point. So bluffing could be just a strategy in order to negotiate some concessions, e.g. no pay raise until the company starts making a profit again.

What would Kant and Mill say?

Kant believed that the morality of someone's actions should be judged based on their duty. Since it is your duty to try to get some labor concessions, then bluffing is not unethical.

Mill believed that the morality of someone's actions should be judged based on the results, or how much good or happiness results from them. In this case, I suppose that more people would be unhappy than happy if you actually get some labor concessions, so bluffing would be unethical.

What would be the result under the Front Page test?

The front page test basically wants you to look at the events from the point of view of a third party that is not involved in the actions. If you could read this on the front page of a newspaper and it happened to someone else, would it be ethical or unethical? Since I believe that bluffing is a valid game strategy, then if I read this on a newspaper I would be OK with it.

Suppose Sam would like to use $6,000 of his savings to make a financial investment. One way of making a financial investment is
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The correct options are option C and Option D.

Explanation:

Lets look at each option in turn and evaluate whether they are correct or incorrect

Option A: Incorrect. This can be understood by thinking in terms of the classic demand and supply of a given item. If the company issues more shares, there will be a greater amount of shares in the market for a potential investor to buy. This additional supply of shares will put a downward pressure on the price of the shares which will cause the share price to decrease.

Option B: Incorrect. When a company issues shares to raise money, it is known as equity finance. By doing so, the company is increasing its capital which is recorded in the balance sheet under the heading of "share capital". Another statement that will be impacted is the cash flow statement under the heading of cash flow from financing activity. The income statement will not be impacted. If Sam purchases shares from another investor, the company's statements will not be impacted.

Option C: Correct. Expectations of a recession that reduce corporate profits for make investors expect a lower return on investment if they invest in a corporation's shares. This will dampen the demand, thereby decreasing the price.

Option D: Correct. An investor measures the opportunity cost of an investment by generally comparing it to the risk free return that they can get on US bonds. So the investor can alternatively invest in US govt instruments.

Option E: Incorrect. A bond maturing 30 years from now will carry a DIFFERENT interest rate due to the varying tenor. The tenor of a bond affects the risk profile of an investment in the bond which makes bonds of differing maturities offer different returns in line with expectations concerning economic performance.

A united nations report shows the mean family income for mexican migrants to the united states is $26,580 per year. a floc (farm
AnnyKZ [126]

The test statistic t = t_(n-1) = 5.558457132 is greater than the critical value of t at 25 d.f which is Critical t value at 25 d.f. = 2.787436.

Hence we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the average income of Mexican migrants to the U.S is not equal to $26,580.

Therefore the information from the sample disagrees with the United Nations report.

We use the follow these steps to arrive at the answer.

Null hypothesis : μ = $26,580

Alternate hypothesis : μ ≠ $26,580

Test : Since sample standard deviation is given, we use the Student's t-test

Level of Significance : 0.01, Two-tailed test

Degrees of freedom (d.f): n-1 d.f = 26-1 = 25

Calculation of test statistic:

The formula for test statistic is

t_(n-1)=(x ̅-μ)/(S/√n)

t_(n-1) = (38,900- 26,580) / (11,054/√26)

t_(n-1) = 12050 / 2167.867758

t_(n-1) = 5.558457132

Critical t value at 25 d.f. = 2.787436

A unit tax of​ $1 has been levied on a good. The equilibrium price of the good will most likely A. remain unchanged. B. decrease
sashaice [31]

Answer: The equilibrium price is most likely to "DECREASE BY $1". Option c is the most correct option.

Explanation: A unit tax of $1 is the tax on the sales of the unit. In a supply demand curve, an increase in the sales tax will cause the curve to shift inwardly, thereby showing a decrease in the equilibrium price of the curve.

Equilibrium price is the point where the amount suppllied is equal to the consumers demand at a stable price.

For $1 unit tax to be levied on the goods, it will increase the price of the goods by $1, which will reduce supply by $1, therefore the equilibrium price will decrease by $1 to adjust itself on the new changes.
