Answer 6:
Because freedom does not means that our self interest is everything. We owe duty of care to people who rely on our acts. An accountant, auditor or internal auditor must act ethically or universally that benefits everyone without breaking the laws and ethical duties imposed by the professional bodies. If we go back to Enron case, we see that the External auditor was not acting in the public interest and as a result Enron which was the world's first $100 billion dollars company collapsed. The collapse of Enron bankrupt many pension companies which further affected the lives of the ordinary person in the USA. Furthermore, due to collapse of Enron, a lot of people withdraw the amount invested in Stock exchange. Dozens of companies and millions of people suffered from this unethical behaviour of professionals.
Answer 7:
Corporate Social Responsibility means that the company is just like an human being and its operations must not harm the environment, so this the least duty which the stakeholders expect from them. Being a good social beings, the companies must try to stable the environment situation in its surrounding and wherever its stakeholders live. For Example, The refinery companies have stopped poluting the oceans with their oil spills, now they have opted to newest technology that will eliminate the harmful effects of their oil spills and bring stability in the environment.
Another example includes the lower usage of natural resources. In UK it is the companies responsibility to reduce its natural resources usage which will lower the pollution. This additional care has a cost and may lead to lower competitiveness of the products so there must be a law globally that enforces to act socially responsible.
Answer:
a) 7% as their market price will adjsut to give the same yield as the market
b) bond P = -10.17
bonds D = 10.07
Explanation:
we have to calcualte the price variation of the bonds from now (10 years to maturity) to next year (9 years)
Bond P
C 90.000
time 10
rate 0.07
PV $632.1223
Maturity 1,000.00
time 10.00
rate 0.07
PV 508.35
PV c $632.1223
PV m $508.3493
Total $1,140.4716
then, at time = 9
C 90.000
time 9
rate 0.07
PV $586.3709
Maturity 1,000.00
time 9.00
rate 0.07
PV 543.93
PV c $586.3709
PV m $543.9337
Total $1,130.3046
Capital loss: 1,130.30 - 1,140.47 = -10.17
We repeat the process for bond D
C 50.000
time 10
rate 0.07
PV $351.1791
Maturity 1,000.00
time 10.00
rate 0.07
PV 508.35
PV c $351.1791
PV m $508.3493
Total $859.5284
C 50.000
time 9
rate 0.07
PV $325.7616
Maturity 1,000.00
time 9.00
rate 0.07
PV 543.93
PV c $325.7616
PV m $543.9337
Total $869.6954
Capital gain: 869.70 - 859.53 = 10.07
Answer:

Explanation:
<em>Total Product offer </em>is every aspect of a product which the customer evaluates before buying.
From strategic marketing viewpoint, the customer may evaluate the product on both the tangible and intangible attributes.
An example of this is the iPhone by Apple. On tangible level, the product itself, the packaging and others are tangible attributes that a customer may evaluate. On intangible level, the brand name, perceived benefits, convenience, purchase services, and many other factors are part of the iPhone as the intangible attributes that the customer will evaluate.
As a marketer, one should think and talk in the language of customers- let it be from either tangible or intangible point of view.
