Answer:

1978: With a $5 correspondence course in ice cream-making from Penn State and a $12,000 investment ($4,000 of it borrowed), Ben and Jerry open their first ice cream scoop shop in a renovated gas station in Burlington, Vermont.

1979: Ben and Jerry celebrate the shop's one-year anniversary – and the customers who made it possible – by holding the first-ever Free Cone Day: free scoops for all, all day long. The annual ice cream give-away continues today in scoop shops around the world.

1980: Ben and Jerry rent space in an old spool and bobbin mill on South Champlain Street in Burlington and begin packing their ice cream in pints. The reason? To distribute to grocery and Mom & Pop stores along the restaurant delivery routes Ben services out of the back of his old VW Squareback wagon.

1981: As the news of Ben & Jerry's spreads, more & more people want a lick. So the first franchised scoop shop opens in Shelburne, Vermont.

Ben & Jerry's ice cream is used to build "the world's largest ice cream sundae" in St. Albans, Vermont; the sundae weighs 27,102 pounds.

1984: Ben & Jerry's sets a precedent by discovering a little-known clause about stocks and brokering, then establishing a Vermont-only public stock offering to raise money for a new manufacturing plant.

1985: The Ben & Jerry's Foundation is established with a gift from Ben and Jerry & 7.5% of the company's annual pre-tax profits to fund community-oriented projects.

1986: Ben & Jerry's launches the Cowmobile, a modified mobile home used to distribute free scoops in a unique, cross-country "marketing drive." On the return trip, the Cowmobile burns to the ground outside of Cleveland, Ohio (no one was hurt). Ben said it looked "like the world's largest Baked Alaska."

1987: Ben & Jerry's introduces Cherry Garcia® ice cream. Named for Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia at the suggestion of two "DeadHeads" from Portland, Maine, Cherry Garcia® becomes the first ice cream named for a rock legend

1988: Ben and Jerry are named “U.S. Small Business Persons of the Year” by President Reagan in a White House Rose Garden ceremony. Jerry's one suit comes in handy and, luckily, Ben finds an Italian waiter's jacket to wear.

1989: Ben & Jerry's comes out against Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH), based on concern about its adverse economic impact on family farming and public confidence in the wholesomeness of dairy products.

Aquilera, Inc., has sales of $19.6 million, total assets of $14.6 million, and total debt of $5.4 million. The profit margin is

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

a. $1,764,000.00

b. 12.08%

c. 19.17%

Explanation:

a. What is the company's net income?

Profit margin = Net income ÷ Sales

Therefore, we have:

9% = Net income ÷ $19,600,000

Net income = $19,600,000 × 9% = $1,764,000.00

Therefore, the net income of Aquilera, Inc. is $1,764,000.00

b. What is the company's Return on Assets (ROA)?

ROA = Net income ÷ Total Assets

ROA = $1,764,000 ÷ $14,600,000 = 0.120821917808219 = 12.08%

Therefore, the ROA of Aquilera, Inc. is 12.08%

c. What is the company's Return on Equity (ROE)?

Total Assets = Total Debt + Total Equity

Therefore,

Total Equity = Total Assets - Total Debt

Total Equity = $14,600,000 - $5,400,000 = $9,200,000

ROE = Net income ÷ Total Equity

ROE = $1,764,000 ÷ $9,200,000 = 0.191739130434783 = 19.17%

Therefore, the ROE of Aquilera, Inc. is 19.17%

Sarah, the controller of a large beverage supplier, supervises two employees. Her boss, Vladimir, instructs her to increase the

Verizon [17]

Answer: Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Sarah who is the controller of a large beverage supplier, supervises two employees and that her boss, Vladimir, told her to increase the company's inventory balance for an amount that is material to the financial statements by crediting several small "miscellaneous" expense accounts.

We are further told that Sarah does not know the reason behind this but told one of her staff to make them because she has been instructed to do so.

We can see that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue. She didn't evaluate the effect of what she is doing. In this case, what her boss told her to do could be a case of fraud and she just obliged without asking questions which will put her conscience at ease in case anything happens but the fact that she just did it without asking questions or thinking if what she has done is morally right or wrong, it shows that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.

EuroRail and Swiss Rail are hypothetical railways that have a duopoly on the route that connects the cities of Zurich and Munich

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

Select the answer that best describes the strategies in this game.

Both companies dominant strategy is to add the train.

Does a Nash equilibrium exist in this game?

A Nash equilibrium exists where both companies add a train. (Since I'm not sure how your matrix is set up I do not know the specific location).

Explanation:

we can prepare a matrix to determine the best strategy:

Swiss Rails

add train do not add train

$1,500 / $2,000 /

add train $4,000 $7,500

EuroRail

do not add train $4,000 / $3,000 /

$2,000 $3,000

Swiss Rails' dominant strategy is to add the train = $1,500 + $4,000 = $5,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

EuroRail's dominant strategy is to add the train = $4,000 + $7,500 = $11,500. The additional revenue generated by not adding = $5,000.

A Nash equilibrium exists because both companies' dominant strategy is to add a train.
