Answer:

most likely will not be held responsible because of the business judgment rule.

Explanation:

A business judgement rule is a legal provision that protects the board of a company from frivolous legal actions as flregards its business decisions.

Boards of companies are assumed to act in good faith, within their fiduciary standards of loyalty, prudence and care that the board owes to shareholders.

It will have to be proven that the board blatantly violated a code of conduct, otherwise the court will review or question it's decisions.

Answer:

will not be held responsible for the loss.

Explanation:

The business judgement rule is a doctrine that affects corporation's management and other agents. This doctrine is based on the idea that all business decisions yield unknown results, even the safest investments or safest projects can go wrong. Only the US government has never defaulted on a loan (US securities) but every other nation or organization has at one point in time defaulted or delayed a payment.

Investors that buy stocks from a corporation know about the risks of running a business, if they do not like to take risks, US securities are always available. As long as management (including the board) acts on good faith, within the normal scope of business, they cannot be held liable for any bad investment carried out.

If this doctrine didn't exist, no one would be able to manage a company, since no one would dare to make any decisions at all. When you calculate the price of stock or the cost of capital, you must add the risk free rate (US securities) + the risk premium.

ohaa [14]

Answer and Explanation:

As per the given question the solution of missing amount for each letter is provided below:-

                                           Case A           Case B

Direct material used        a $49,350      $93,400

Direct Labor                      $56,000          $146,100

Manufacturing overhead

applied                              $44,800         d $116,880

Total manufacturing

cost                                 $150,150           e $356,380

Work in process 1/1/20  b $55,750        $16,800

Total cost of work in

process                         $205,900         f $373,180

Work in process

12/31/20                       c $11,600          $15,400

Cost of goods

manufactured              $194,300            g $357,780

Working Note

a. Direct materials used = Total manufacturing costs - Manufacturing overhead applied - Direct labor

= $150,150 - ($56,000 + $44,800)

= $150,150 - $100,800

= $49,350

b. Works in process 1/1/20 = Total cost of works in process - Total manufacturing costs

= $205,900 - $150,150

= $55,750

c. Works in process 12/31/20   = Total cost of works in process - Cost of goods manufactured

= $205,900 - $194,300

= $11,600

d. Manufacturing overhead applied = $44,800 ÷ $56,000

= 80%

For case B the manufacturing overhead applied = 80% × $146,100

= $116,880

e. Total manufacturing costs = Direct materials used + Direct Labor + Manufacturing overhead applied

= $93,400 + $146,100 + $116,880

= $356,380

f. Total cost of work in process = Total manufacturing costs + Works in process 1/1/20

= $356,380 + $16,800

= $373,180

g.  Cost of goods manufactured = Total cost of work in process - Works in process 31/12/20

= $373,180 - $15,400

= $357,780

Therefore to reach the missing amounts we simply use the working notes.

economies of scope exist if C(Q1, 0) + C(0, Q2) > C (Q1, Q2) (10 + 5Q1) + (10 + 5Q2) > 10 + 5Q1 + 5Q2 - 0.2Q12Q2.

Economies of scope is an economic theory stating that the average total cost of production decrease as a result of increasing the number of different goods produced. For example, a gas station that sells gasoline can sell soda, milk, baked goods, etc.

Economies of scope is a financial precept wherein a commercial enterprise's unit value to supply a product will decline because the form of its products will increase. In different words, the extra one of kind-but-comparable goods you produce, the lower the total cost to provide each one may be.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

$117,800

Explanation:

GDP formula is:

GDP= Consumption (C)+ Investment (I)+ Government expenditure ()+ Net exports (exports-imports)

Last year, C= $69,000 and it increased 10% (100%+10%=110%),  

This year: C= $69,000*1.10= $75,900.

Last year: I= $18,000 and it decreased 5% (100%-5%=95%).

This year: I= $18,000*0,95= $17,100

Last year: G=$19,000 and it increased by 20% (100%+20%=120%)

This year: G= $ 19,000*1.20=$22,800

Last year: X-M= $2000 and it remained the same

This year: X-M= $2000

Current year´s GDP= $75,900+$17,100+$22,800+$2000= $117,800
