Answer:

The first part of the question is missing:

"We all learn values from sources such as family, religion, and school. Why might these..."

To be honest, most of the time business decisions are not clean cut ethical or unethical, even if you are not doing anything wrong or illegal. When you are doing business you will try to make the largest possible profit and money doesn't just appear from no where, if you earn money, you will be taking it away from someone else. In the best case scenario, you will be giving that customer a higher perceived value than the cost of your product or service, so everyone wins.

But many times, not everyone wins. E.g. you manage a construction company and you will bid for a project, hopefully you will win and make money, but others will lose. Empathy is good for marketing, but very bad for finances.

When thousands of jobs are replaced not by Chinese workers, but instead by computers and robots, it's just bad luck for the unemployed. When large stores like Sears go bankrupt while Amazon surges, good for Amazon, bad for Sears.

B) Georgeland has both an absolute and a comparative advantage in producing clothing.

Explanation:

This is because Absolute advantage is when one firm or a producer is able to produce more of a product using less resources or less time or more of the product in the same resources or same time as the other.

Comparative advantage is found out at the added bonus of having the product be as viable as it is advantageous which means that the producer could also be making another product and would have the advantage in that too so either one of them is equally profitable.

Utility maximisation refers to the concept that individuals and firms seek to get the highest satisfaction from their economic decisions.

combination of goods
Highest satisfaction that is cost effective

if a banana cost half as much as an apple,

Cost of banana = cost of apple/2

cost of apple - cost of banana × 2

Assuming the cost of one banana is $1

The cost of buying 6 bananas = 6×$1 = $6

the same $6 can only buy 3 apples

Therefore the price of apples is $2

If the total amount available = $6,

The Anson Jackson Court (AJC) currently has $150,000 market value (and book value) of perpetual debt outstanding carrying a coup

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

d. $750,000; 8.9%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

A. Current Total Market Value

Current market value of debt $150,000 The Current market value of equity $600,000 (10,000 shares × $60) Market Value $750,000

B. Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) WACC = {Equity ÷ (Equity + Debt) × Cost of Equity} + {Debt ÷ ( Equity + Debt ) × Cost of Debt × (1 - 25%)}

= {$600,000 ÷ ($600,000 + $150,000) × 10%} + {$150,000 ÷ ($600,000 + $150,000) × 6% × 0.75}

= ($600,000 ÷ $750,000) × 10% + ($150,000 ÷ $750,000) × 6% × 0.75 = 0.08 + 0.009

= 8.90%

Hence, the correct option is D. $7,50,000 ; 8.90%
