Technically speaking, it won't be wrong for you to accept the gifts.

You never giving any of your employees gifts show that you gave no 'special favor' to specific employees. It's a matter of ethical belief and your personal action
But you can't control other people's ethical belief, just like you can't control other people action's

Summarize the consequentialist arguments for and against affirmative action.

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Arguments supporting Affirmative Action:

1) Affirmative action is a method that ensure the diversity is obtained and maintained in schools and workplaces. Moreover, it also helps to create tolerant communities therefore, it exposes people to a variety of cultures and ideas that are different from their own.

2)Affirmative action assists disadvantaged people that come from areas of the country where opportunities are limited be able to advance and they otherwise could not. In other words, it bestows everybody the same playing field.

3)Affirmative action is for to help by compensating to some races who are"started late in the race" , due to many years of oppression, and it also helps level the playing field.

Arguments against Affirmative Action:

1) Affirmative Action can be described as reverse discrimination. More specifically, past discrimination against some minority groups does not justify existing discrimination against them.

2) It weakens the notion of meritocracy and instead weakens races as a dominant factor in recruitment and recruitment procedures. Regardless of the situation, the best people for the position should be placed there.

3) Students / staff involved in the approval process are often not fully prepared for the assignment.

4) Affirmative Action strengthens stereotypes and racism compared to the previous point. People who give a position almost positively because of their activity are often unsuitable and the idea that all people in this race are "stupid" is endless.

5) People of different races or ethnic backgrounds do not need to have differences of opinion in the workplace / university. People with the same skin color are not necessarily the same in terms of vision or culture.

Dave harris has just purchased a bond with a face value of $1,000 that pays 6 percent. the purchase price of the bond was $900,

Vilka [71]

The yield of maturity for this bond is "8.4 percent".
We can calculate this in the following way;
<span>Yield to maturity = YTM = {($1,000 x .06) + [($1,000 - 900)/5]}/[($900 + $1,000)/2]
=(60 + 20) / (950)
=80/950
=0.084
=0.084 x 100
= 8.4 percent</span>

Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc. is concerned they are not maintaining adequate liquidity. The accounting department has provided yo

viktelen [127]

Answer:

Black Sparrow Aviation, Inc.

1. Indications from ratios about Black Sparrow Aviation:

The current ratio of 4.5 is higher than the industry's norm of 4.0. This indicates that working capital elements are not being managed properly. This is supported by the the remaining four ratios. Inventory level is not optimal. More inventory is held without being sold to customers. Obviously, from the inventory turnover of 6.0 translating to approximately 61 days that it takes the company to sell its inventory as against the industry average of 35 days, it shows that the marketing and sales forces lack stamina. Debt collection from customers is over-delayed, showing poor credit policy and management. Perhaps, it takes the company many days to issue invoices. More time than necessary is allowed to customers to pay compared to the industry norm. In addition, payments are made to suppliers 11 days earlier than the industry average. Advantage is not being taken of trade credit offered by suppliers. Trade credit is an important source of funding operations, which every company should utilize to the maximum.

2A. Based on the above ratios, I would recommend:

1. Minimum inventory should be maintained.

2. Sales efforts should be intensified, so that more sales are made each year than it is currently the case.

3. Debt collection is an important activity for every company that sells on account. This activity should be taken seriously. Credit extension to customers should not exceed 50 days.

4. Payments to suppliers can be delayed by more 10 days without offending suppliers.

2B. Results from Recommendations:

1. Working capital is not tied in inventory.

2. More debts are recovered from customers and on time. Delay increases credit default.

3. More sales are made to customers, increasing the turnover. The profit is always in the frequency of turnover.

4. Short-term financing is obtained from suppliers, which strengthens liquidity.

Explanation:

Liquidity management is a financial management tool, which describes a company's ability to meet financial obligations through cash flow, funding activities, and capital management in order to minimize the risks associated with illiquidity.

Calculation, analysis, comparison of ratios are some of the ways to make informed decisions on liquidity management. Ratios should be compared over many periods, with best performing competitors, and the industry norm to ascertain the position of the reporting entity.
