Answer:
Joel is behaving in a totally unprofessional & unethical manner
Explanation:
As assistant controller, Joel Kimmel's job specification & responsibility includes financial statement preparation & combination, putting of internal controls in place, detailed analysis & reporting of cost variance, acts as the go-between with external auditors amongst other such responsibilities.
As such, when Joel discovered the cost discrepancy during the reconciliation, it was actually his responsibility to call the bank's attention to the variance. This is something that clearly falls under his job specification & can be considered as neglect of duty. Joel's decision defeats the very purpose of bank reconciliation, which is to correct any such discrepancy & to the ensure the rectification of transactions. Most importantly, the decision Joel plans to take is very unethical & is against standard accounting practices
We can therefore, say that Joel's decision is thoroughly unethical & unprofessional
Answer:
The most likely problem to arise due to a shift from socialism to capitalism is unequal distribution of wealth.
Explanation:
In a socialist system the businesses and properties are owned by the government. The government ensures equal distribution of income and wealth in the society.
However, in a capitalist system the business and properties are owned by private individuals. People earn income on the basis of their contributions. The government does not interfere in the economy, it's the market forces control the economy.
In a socialist system income redistribution takes place from rich to poor. Such things do not happen in capitalism. So people are mostly to face the problem of unequal distribution of wealth through this shift.
In this item, we calculate first for the price of each can of coffee by dividing the cost by the number of cans of coffee.
Price per can = cost / total number of cans of coffee
price per can = ($2.40) / 4 = $0.6/can
To compute for the price of the 1/4 can, multiply the price by can by 1/4.
price of 1/4 can of coffee = (1/4 can)($0.6/can)
price of 1/4 can of coffee= $0.15
Therefore, the 1/4 can of coffee will cost only $0.15.
