wgu A real estate agent representing the buyer tells the seller that the buyer would be willing to pay much more than the asking

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is Duty of loyalty.

Explanation:

The corporate sphere bears an important analogy with the contractual one, in the sense that in both the agreements of the parties and the provisions of the law must be fulfilled, that is, there is a duty of loyalty of the partners and a duty of loyalty of the administrators. However, any action carried out by a subject, over and above private covenants or regulatory provisions, must follow a standard of conduct that imposes a certain ethical behavior in legal relationships, that of good faith.

Therefore, and without delving into the normative level, noting that behaving under the strict principle of good faith with society would be the partner's main duty. Here it is possible to know the concrete scope of this principle as a source of special duties for the parties in the corporate sphere. Thus, a duty-generating principle is derived from it: cooperation, information and protection.

eimsori [14]

Answer:

both companies should invest because the NPV of both companies are positive

Explanation:

Net present value is the present value of after-tax cash flows from an investment less the amount invested.

NPV can be calculated using a financial calculator

Only projects with a positive NPV should be accepted. A project with a negative NPV should not be chosen because it isn't profitable.

When choosing between positive NPV projects, choose the project with the highest NPV first because it is the most profitable.

Cash flow in year 0 = - $8.4 million

Cash flow in year 1-7 = $2.2 million

NPV of Lester with I of 15.8% = 0.54 million

NPV of Med Inc with I of 13.7% = 1.12 million

To find the NPV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

c. the average cost method.

Explanation:

Windsor INC. purchased inventory during the month of June as follows:

June 1 129 units at $890

June 10 172 units at $1340

June 15 172 units at $1440

June 28 129 units at $ 1140

and at the end of the period, there are 180 units on hand.

In order to get highest gross profit the closing sock should be the highest, accordingly the value of inventory at hand should as as follows under different method explain below:

Under FIFO method the inventory first enter into the enterprise is available for sale at first so the inventory of 180 units at end should be values at the last price mentioned in the question i.e $1140, therefore the value amounts to $1140*180 units=$205200

Under LIFO method, likewise the last entered inventory will be available for sale and the inventory at the end of period will be valued at the price at which the inventory first bought i.e $890, therefore the value amounts to 180 units*$890=$160200

Under Average cost method the effect of differential price is distributed over the quantity bough during a period so that the company remains in ineffective condition during the period from the price change

Average cost per unit= (129*$890 +172*$1340+ 172*$1440+129*$1140)/602 units

=$1229.29

and for the 180 units the value amounts to 180*$122.29=$221271.429

so, as per explanation given above, it is certain that the highest value will be in average cost method.

The correct option is - c. the average cost method.
