Which was not an example of a business ethical dilemma discussed by Albert Carr in his article on business bluffing?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. Failure to support climate-change treaties.

Explanation:

An ethical dilemma is a situation in which an apparent operational conflict between two ethical imperatives is presented in such a way that obedience to one of them implies the transgression of the other. In general, it is called an ethical dilemma when an agent (the professional, in this case) has reasons to carry out two actions (or more), each of which favors a different principle, and it is not possible to fulfill them without violating any of they. In this way, the agent is in a situation in which he is condemned to commit a foul: no matter what he does, he will do something "wrong" or will miss an obligation.

Earlier, it was noted that you might be in the position where your firm is contemplating a layoff, though employees are not awar
ch4aika [34]

This is a risk-reward situation. If you are more about morality and ethics you could tell her before hand, but risk your job at hand. Or you could keep to yourself for your own best. I would suggest her the job without including the layoff, as it keeps you under safe ground and if she takes the other job, automatically removes one potential person to be laid off. This would increase your chances of keeping your job rather than being fired or laid off. The risks professionally would be your own job at risk, and personally your own morals/ethics.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

salary allowances of $83,600 to Mo, $62,700 to Lu, and $94,500 to Barb; interest allowances of 10% on their initial capital investments; and the balance shared as follows: 20% to Mo, 40% to Lu, and 40% to Barb.

net income $498,000, total distributions:

  • Mo = $83,600 + (20% x $257,200) = $135,040
  • Lu = $62,700 + (40% x $257,200) = $165,580
  • Barb = $94,500 + (40% x $257,200) = $197,380

First we need to close Income Summary account to each partner's capital account:

December 31, 202x

Dr income summary 498,000

    Cr Mo Meek, capital 135,040

    Cr Lu Ling, capital 165,580

    Cr Barb Beck, capital 197,380

then we close the drawings accounts to the capital accounts of each partner:

December 31, 202x

Dr Mo Meek, capital 39,300

    Cr Mo Meek, drawings 39,300

Dr Lu Ling, capital 53,300

    Cr Lu Ling, drawings 53,300

Dr Barb Beck, capital 69,300

    Cr Barb Beck, drawings 69,300
