Answer:

  • Yes it is.
  • Ethical issue ⇒ Insider Trading.

Explanation:

Trading on the stock exchange is supposed to be as fair as possible so that every investor has a fair chance of making returns. If a person - like this supervisor - is using information that is material but not publicly disclosed yet to trade on markets, the fairness of the market is compromised because the person will have an edge over other investors which will enable them make unfair profits.

Information on quarterly returns is usually material so we can expect it to be material here as well which means that the supervisor is engaged in insider trading.

Insider trading is not only unethical but also highly illegal. Reporting your supervisor can get them sent to jail.

wel

Answer 4:

Following are the six business management perspective:

  1. Ethical Stance
  2. Strategic aspects of the decision
  3. Risk Management
  4. CSR Aspect
  5. Process Management Aspects
  6. Leaders Perspective

Answer 5:

IMA stands for Institute for Management Accountants.

The IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practice has listed following four standards for the professionals who are member of IMA to comply with:

  1. Competence: The member must be competent in his role in accordance to his experience, skills, knowledge, complying laws & regulation and always acting ethically.
  2. Confidentiality: Must not breach the confidentiality implied duty on him except in situations when disclosure of information is mandatory by law.
  3. Integrity: Must be straight forward and there must be no self interest in his dealings with the company and must considerably reduced.
  4. Credibility: Communicate the results with unbiased decision making.

Answer 6:

Because freedom does not means that our self interest is everything. We owe duty of care to people who rely on our acts. An accountant, auditor or internal auditor must act ethically or universally that benefits everyone without breaking the laws and ethical duties imposed by the professional bodies. If we go back to Enron case, we see that the External auditor was not acting in the public interest and as a result Enron which was the world's first $100 billion dollars company collapsed. The collapse of Enron bankrupt many pension companies which further affected the lives of the ordinary person in the USA. Furthermore, due to collapse of Enron, a lot of people withdraw the amount invested in Stock exchange. Dozens of companies and millions of people suffered from this unethical behaviour of professionals.

Answer 7:

Corporate Social Responsibility means that the company is just like an human being and its operations must not harm the environment, so this the least duty which the stakeholders expect from them. Being a good social beings, the companies must try to stable the environment situation in its surrounding and wherever its stakeholders live. For Example, The refinery companies have stopped poluting the oceans with their oil spills, now they have opted to newest technology that will eliminate the harmful effects of their oil spills and bring stability in the environment.

Another example includes the lower usage of natural resources. In UK it is the companies responsibility to reduce its natural resources usage which will lower the pollution. This additional care has a cost and may lead to lower competitiveness of the products so there must be a law globally that enforces to act socially responsible.

Profitability Analysis Kolby Enterprises reports the following information on its income statement: L04 Net sales ......... . ..
notsponge [240]

Answer:

Gross profit percentage = Gross profit / Net sales

= (Net sales - COGS) / Net sales

= (250,000 - 150,000) / 250,000

= 40%

Return on sales ratio = EBIT / Net sales

= (Gross profit + other income - Administrative expenses - Other expense - Selling expenses) / Net sales

= (250,000 - 150,000 + 15,000 - 10,000 - 10,000 - 50,000) / 250,000

= 18%

<u>With new product:</u>

Gross profit percentage = Gross profit / Net sales

= (Net sales - COGS) / Net sales

= (250,000 + 45,000  - 150,000 - 38,000) / (250,000 + 45,000)

= 36.3%

Return on sales ratio = EBIT / Net sales

= (Gross profit + other income - Administrative expenses - Other expense - Selling expenses) / Net sales

= (250,000 + 45,000  - 150,000 - 38,000 + 15,000 - 10,000 - 10,000 - 50,000) / (250,000 + 45,000)

= 52,000 / 295,000

= 17.6%
