Explanation:

Ethics can be defined as the study of the behaviors that guide human behavior, that is, society is developed through a set of moral behaviors that define its values and its conception of which human behaviors and attitudes are positive or negative. Ethics then emerges as the standardization of these behaviors and moral values, it is a code of conduct for positive actions by man in society in all areas of life.

In discretionary decisions, in which there is a possibility of interpretation by the legislators, ethics appears as a normative instrument for the conduct of decisions, being a guide for the legislator to decide for what will have greater ethical value and benefits for society.

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

$172.25

Explanation:

initial outlay for the project = -$350

cash flow years 1-5 = [($300 - $135 - $70) x (1 - 36%)] + $70 (depreciation expense) = $60.80 + $70 = $130.80

using an excel spreadsheet and the NPV function, we can calculate the project's NPV with an 8% discount rate:

=NPV(8%,130.80,130.80,130.80,130.80,130.80) - $350 = $522.25 - $350 = $172.25

we can also do it manually:

NPV = -$350 + $130.80/1.08 + $130.80/1.08² + $130.80/1.08³ + $130.80/1.08⁴ + $130.80/1.08⁵ = $172.25

subsequently reaquired = 5,000

dividend= $2 per share

to find out

What is the amount of cash dividends

solution

first we get here no of share outstanding that is

no of share outstanding = shares issued - subsequently reaquired .........1

no of share outstanding = 45000 - 5000

no of share outstanding = 40000 shares

and

now we get amount of cash dividend paid here as

amount of cash dividend paid = outstanding share × dividend share ...........2

amount of cash dividend paid = 40000 × $2

amount of cash dividend paid = $80000

so correct option is 1. $80,000

Rent is necessary because housing is one of the most important needs of a man without rent plan there would be no proper housing
