Cardinal Corporation is a trucking firm that operates in the mid-Atlantic states. One of Cardinalâs major customers frequently s

hips goods between Charlotte and Baltimore. Occasionally, the customer sends last-minute shipments that are outbound for Europe on a freighter sailing from Baltimore. To satisfy the delivery schedule in these cases, Cardinalâs drivers must substantially exceed the speed limit. Cardinal pays for any related speeding tickets. During the past year, two drivers had their licenses suspended for 30 days each for driving at such excessive speeds. Cardinal continues to pay each driverâs salary during the suspension periods. Cardinal believes that it is necessary to conduct its business in this manner if it is to be profitable, maintain the support of the drivers, and maintain the goodwill of customers.
Required:
Evaluate Cardinalâs business practices.

Answer:

cardinal corporation is unethical in its business operation.

Explanation:

From my own point of view, this business practice is far from being ethical. Encouraging drivers to violate traffic laws and these drivers still get rewarded at the end for the unethical behaviors.

the utilitarianism theory of ethics is being violated. The action of these drivers cannot be of benefits to everybody because by over speeding, they could cause accidents and deaths of people as well as themselves. The countrys law is clearly being violated.

the altruism theory is also being violated. The end result of over speeding by the driver is only of advantage to the company and its customers. The driver could die due to over speeding.

Cardinal Corporation is clearly just about the profit. They are not morally or socially responsible. They may face the loss of goodwill if this is allowed to continue and there is a fatal accident causing loss of lives because they would be made faced with lawsuits.

    Cr Raw material inventory 3,400

Explanation:

Work in process = $900 + $1,200 + $700 = $2,800

Factory overhead (supplies) is the same, $600

inventory decrease = WIP + supplies = $2,800 + $600 = $3,400

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

$78,000

Explanation:

Total cost of producing 2,000 tires:

= [(Direct materials + Direct manufacturing labor + Variable manufacturing overhead) × 2,000 units] + Fixed cost

= [($20 + $3 + $6) × 2,000 units] + ($10 × 2,000 units)

= $58,000 + $20,000

= $78,000

Therefore, the total cost of producing 2,000 tires is $78,000.

artcher [175]

Answer:

The probability of getting paid more than $6500 in 100 weeks is 0.6%

Explanation:

In this problem, we need to define a probabilty distribution for the money earned.

The 100-week payoff can be expressed as

PO=40*L+80*H=40*(100-H)+80*H=4000+40H

Being L the numbers of weeks we have low pay and H the weeks we have high pay.

Now, as it is a coin flip, H is a binomial random variable with p=0.5 and n=100

For a total pay off of more than 6500, H has to be

6500=4000+40H\\\\H=2500/40=62.5

That means that in at least 63 of the 100 weeks we have to get a high pay.

P(H\geq 63)=1-\sum_{i=1}^{62} P(X_i)

If we compute the individual probabilities we get P(H≥63)=0.006 or 0.6%.

Explanation:

In the case of the fixed cost of production that lies in the short run does not decreased while generating the lower output as the fixed cost are considered to be the independent on the other hand the variable cost changes with the output. Moreover, the total cost could be divided into the fixed cost where the firm could incurred prior generating an output

So the above statement should be considered
