jok3333 [9.3K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

No, it is not ethical.

The risks that Emerald faces by not upholding his responsibility for the collection and payment of employment taxes is that, first of all, this is not correct. He has an obligation, a moral and a fiscal obligation to report on time the employment taxes. That is why his actions are not ethical although he indeed does pay before he gets caught. That decision could be a business decision to buy some time and trying t fix other problems, but a true leader does not need to cover things with wrongdoings. What can of example is he showing to his employees?

Later on, on another occasion, he won't have the moral authority to demand ethical behavior from his employees. He is not setting an example.

A project has an initial cost of $6,900. The cash inflows are $850, $2,400, $3,100, and $4,100 over the next four years, respect

monitta

Answer:

Thus, payback period is = 3 years and 1.61 months

Explanation:

Payback period is the time it will take the project cash flows to recover the initial investment. The payback period for the project in question will be,

Year Cash flow Remaining Amount

1 850 (6900 - 850) = 6050

2 2400 (6050 - 2400) = 3650

3 3100 (3650 - 3100) = 550

As the year 4 cash flow is 4100, we know that the amount will be recovered in year 4. However, we will calculate the exact period or months in year 4 that it will take to recover total initial investment assuming that cashflow occurs at constant rate through out the year.

Time = 550 / 4100 * 12 = 1.61 months

Thus, payback period is = 3 years and 1.61 months
