Answer:

Wooden no. 2 pencils

  • Perfectly competitive market because there are many buyers and suppliers of pencils. Also, wooden no. 2 pencils are basically identical no matter which brand you purchase.

Copper (hint: there are many sellers)

  • Copper is considered a commodity which has many suppliers and consumers around the world, therefore, it is classified as a perfectly competitive market. No individual supplier, nor any individual consumer has enough market power to affect the price and supply of copper.

Local public utilities (ex. water, electricity)

  • Monopolistic market because there are generally only one supplier of each type of public utilities, e.g. one water company per city.

Peanut butter  

  • Monopolistically competitive markets since there are many consumers and suppliers, but each supplier produces a slightly different product. Even though there are several peanut butter brands, no two brands offer the same peanut butter.

Lipstick

  • Monopolistically competitive markets since there are many consumers and suppliers, but each supplier produces a slightly different product. Even though there are several lipstick brands, no two brands offer the same lipstick.

For lower income people:

The more the government puts towards health care would mean there would be a higher quality of life for low income areas allowing them to get access to needed healthcare for no cost to them.

For higher income people / corporate entities:

it would mean higher taxes on the 1% and 0.1% of the richer people and raising taxes on corporations such as higher taxes on dividends.

Summary:

For a SoL on one side to change another side would have to lose.

- Name the six business management perspectives that go beyond planning, controlling, and decision making?
wel

Answer 4:

Following are the six business management perspective:

  1. Ethical Stance
  2. Strategic aspects of the decision
  3. Risk Management
  4. CSR Aspect
  5. Process Management Aspects
  6. Leaders Perspective

Answer 5:

IMA stands for Institute for Management Accountants.

The IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice has listed following four standards for the professionals who are member of IMA to comply with:

  1. Competence: The member must be competent in his role in accordance to his experience, skills, knowledge, complying laws & regulation and always acting ethically.
  2. Confidentiality: Must not breach the confidentiality implied duty on him except in situations when disclosure of information is mandatory by law.
  3. Integrity: Must be straight forward and there must be no self interest in his dealings with the company and must considerably reduced.
  4. Credibility: Communicate the results with unbiased decision making.

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.

Sedaia [141]

Gray is a 50% partner in Fabco Partnership. Gray's tax basis in Fabco on January 1, year 4, was $5,000. Fabco made no distributi
arsen [322]

Answer:

$21000

Explanation:

To determine Gray’s tax basis  for a 50% interest in the Fabco Partnership, The interest is increased by the partner’s  distributive share of all partnership items of income and decreased by the partner’s distributive share of all loss and  deduction items.

Gray’s beginning basis = $5,000  

Gray’s 50% distributive share of ordinary  income = 50% × $20000 = $10000

Gray’s 50% tax-exempt income= 50% × $8000 = $4,000 and  

portfolio income = 50% × $4000  = $2,000

Therefore, the ending basis of  Gray’s Fabco partnership interest = $5000 + $10000 + $4000 + $2000 = $21000
