Answer:

Companies have a corporate social responsibility towards their environment.

Explanation:

Corporate social responsibility implies that companies are expected to engage in industrial practices that would not result in harm to their environment. For example, the amount of carbon being released into the environment must be controlled as excessive release of carbon can be detrimental to health. It is also not right for waste to be discharged into the oceans because the health of the sea animals, the ocean itself and those who swim in it are at risk.

To promote sustainability, companies avoid practices that would eventually harm their environment. Abiding by these practices might take a longer route, but is eventually cost effective and beneficial.

Question:

An express warranty is created when a seller:

A) makes an affirmation of fact or promise concerning the goods that becomes part of the basis of the bargain.

B) uses descriptive terms as a part of the bargaining process, but the buyer does not take it into consideration when making the purchase.

Answer:

The correct choice is A)

An express warranty is created in the contract when a supplier makes a promise concerning the goods that the buyer can hold on to as an incentive to purchase the product.

Explanation:

For example, if a consumer buys a Laptop online, but when it arrives the item is the wrong specifications, wrong color, or is dented or damaged in anyway, an <em>express warranty</em> might entitle the consumer to a refund or replacement.

This warranty usually is stated upfront prior to or during the execution of the sales transaction.

Cheers!

a. The gross income or annual savings is:

= $804,846.

b. The income tax for the 1st year assuming a marginal tax rate of 40% is:

= $131,600.

c. The after-tax cash flow for the 1st year is:

= $559,400.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations;

Cost of new laboratory equipment = $1,770,000

Borrowed capital = $849,600 ($1,770,000 * 48%)

Borrowing rate = 13.4%

Borrowing interest expense for the first year = $113,846

Depreciation = $362,000

Taxable income = $329,000

Gross savings = $X

$X = $804,846 ($113,846 + $362,000 + $329,000)

Income tax for the 1st year:

Marginal tax rate = 40%

Taxable income = $329,000

= $131,600 ($329,000 * 40%)

After-tax Cash Flows for the 1st year:

Gross savings = $804,846

Interest expense 113,846

Depreciation 362,000

Taxable income $329,000

Income tax 131,600

Net income $197,400

Cash Flows:

Net income $197,400

Depreciation 362,000

After-tax cash flow $559,400
