Answer: option 3
Explanation:
Background to the case:
The cases involving the explosion of Ford Pinto's due to a defective fuel system design led to the debate of many issues, most centering around the use by Ford of a cost-benefit analysis and the ethics surrounding its decision not to upgrade the fuel system based on this analysis.
Basis of analysis:
Should a risk/benefit analysis be used in situations where a defect in manufacturing could lead to seriously bodily harm and even worse death, such as in the Ford Pinto situation?
Rule of the court:
There hasn’t really been a definite decision about the case and arguments both for and against such an analysis have been made. It is an economically efficient method which has been accepted by courts for numerous years, however, juries may not always agree, so companies should take this into account.
Discretion is expected to be used.

Answer:
net income during 2019 = $109,045
Explanation:
total stockholder equity 2018 = assets - liabilities = $293,500 - $79,245 = $214,255
total stockholder equity 2019 = assets - liabilities = $497,512 - $177,212 = $320,300
change in equity from 2018 to 2019 = $106,045
$33,000 can be explained by additional capital invested, and the remaining $73,045 corresponds to change in retained earnings
change in retained earnings = net income - dividends distributed
$73,045 = net income - $36,000
net income = $109,045
Answer:
Purchases= $1,091,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Beginning Raw materials inventory = $549,000
Ending Raw materials inventory= $612,000
The raw materials used in production= $1,028,000.
<u>To calculate the raw material purchased, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Purchases= production + ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= 1,028,000 + 612,000 - 549,000
Purchases= $1,091,000
