Why do businesses take financial cost into account other than social cost when making decisions.

Business

deff fn [24]3 years ago

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Why do businesses take financial costs into account other than social costs when making decisions.?

The reason why is because businesses are created to make profits. And financial costs directly impact sales, revenue, and profits. Any other consideration that does not directly affect the balance sheet or the bottom line, is not considered a priority and takes the back seat when business decisions are made.

On the other hand, the social cost should be important and it is, but not as important as the financial costs for the above-mentioned reasons.

Social costs are more on the side of the ethics of the managers or leaders of the organizations. And ethics and moral values are not a prominent thing to be considered in the decision-making process of modern corporations.

The most important part about having an effective organizational culture is to:
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

<u>d. ensure that words are aligned with behaviors.</u>

Explanation:

Of course,  we can argue that it is not all about expressing clearly the organization's culture in the mission statement or writing them on cards, pins, desk sets, etc which may not even make any difference among employees, neither is simply including the values in the employee recruitment process.

However, <em>what really matters is that the organization ensures all the words about the organization's culture on paper are aligned with the behaviors of employees as they carry out their assignments.</em>

For example, an organization that merely writes on paper that it doesn't tolerate discrimination in the workplace on the basis of race, gender, etc, <u>and yet still allows open discriminatory practices has failed to align words with behavior.</u>

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Long-term capital gain = $73,000

Explanation:

The long-term capital gain (LTCG) can be calculated using the following formula:

Long-term capital gain = Selling price - Cost of acquisition - Cost of improvement .............. (1)

Where;

Selling price = $212,000

Cost of acquisition = $113,000

Cost of improvement = $26,000

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Long-term capital gain = $212,000 - $113,000 - $26,000 = $73,000

Note:

Since no information on cost inflation index is given in the question, that implies that there is no need to use indexed cost of acquisition and indexed cost of  improvement in our calculation. Therefore, the Cost of acquisition and Cost of improvement has to be used as given in the question.

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Before a large corporation makes any investment decision, they carry out a cost benefit analysis. In other words, before the banks install clear acrylic partitions, they will decide if the cost of installing those partitions offset the costs of the robberies. The problem with this reasoning is that all banks have insurance against robberies, so if they are robbed the insurance company pays them. So installing the partitions do not represent a lot of benefits for the bank, but they are expensive and represent a large investment. The only way that banks install them is that insurance companies force them to do so.
