Answer: e. The pervasiveness of immoral and amoral businesspeople.
Explanation:
Managers are sometimes pressured into engaging in unethical behaviors due to intense competitive pressures that can determine whether they keep their jobs especially in a company culture that puts the profitability and good business performance as the paramount yardstick of success.
Heavy pressures placed on company managers to meet or beat earnings targets can also lead to unethical behavior and on a more person level, so can an overzealous pursuit of personal gain, wealth, and other self-interests.
The pervasiveness of immoral and amoral business-people is not a major driver of unethical managerial behavior.

Explanation:
Theses are the options for the question;
A. misrepresentation.
B. tie-in sales.
C. reciprocity.
D. price discrimination.
E. kickbacks
From the question, we are informed about a statement ""I'll let you sell the Harley-Davidson designer clothes only if you'll also sell a new line of clothes designed by Paula Abdul, too."
This statement made by a salesperson to a specialty retailer is potentially an example of tie- sales and may be in violation of the Clayton Act prohibition if the action substantially lessens competition.
It should be noted that tie - in sales in finance means that when a cusumer buys a goods he/she must buy the other product, it simply means the products are tied, and this is opposite of Clayton Act which was set up to bring end to transactions that can lead to monopolies.

The following information pertains to the Moonlight Company pension plan:Employer contribution.............. $2,800Project benefit obligation at 1/1 ....... $72,000Assumed discount rate.......... 10%Service cost for the year....... 18,000Pension benefits paid during the year.... 35,000If no change in actuarial estimates occurred during the year, Moonlight's projected benefit obligation at December 31 of the current year was:_________a. $62,200b. $65,000c. $79,200d. $82,200e. $59,400
Answer:
$62,200
Explanation:
Moonlight's projected benefit obligation can be calculated by deducting the Pension benefits paid by the sum of the estimate of projected benefit obligation and Service Cost and Discount Factor.
the estimate of projected benefit obligation = $72,000
Discount Factor ( 10% of 72,000 ) = $7,200
Service cost = $18,000
Total = $97,200
Benefit paid = ( 35,000)
Projected benefit Obligation Dec 31 = $62,200
Maggie and Nate enter into a contract for the sale of a 1967 Ford Mustang, but Nate later refuses to deliver the car. Maggie asks a court to order Nate to perform as promised. Ordering a party to perform what was promised is
Answer:
an equitable remedy
Explanation:
Ordering a party to perform what was promised is an equitable remedy. This term refers to when there is an absence of law or regulation for a certain scenario, thus granting the judge authority to make the decision of what the law should be in that particular scenario. Therefore in a scenario like this one the judge can decide for himself/herself if they will make Nate perform what was promised or not.
Clem Oatley could grow wheat and barley. He could grow 75 bushels of wheat or 125 bushels of barley using the same resources on an acre of his land. The price of wheat is $2.00 per bushel and the price of barley $ 0.80. What should he specialize in
Answer:
Clem should specialise in wheat production because he has higher profits there
Explanation:
Clem needs to make a decision on the product that will maximise his profits and not just the number of units of products he can manufacture.
If he produces only wheat he will have profit of 75 bushels * $2 = $150
If he produces only barley his profit will be 125 bushels * $0.80 = $100
This shows that wheat is more profitable for Clem. Even though he can produce more units of barley.
Answer: Wheat
Explanation:
If Clem produced only wheat he would have;
= 75 * 2
= $150
If he instead produced only barley he would have;
= 125 * 0.80
= $100
Clem should therefore specialize in wheat as it would bring in more returns.
Calculate the real deficit or surplus in the following cases: a. Inflation is 10 percent. Debt is $3 trillion. Nominal deficit is $220 billion.
The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question
Calculate the real deficit or surplus in the following cases:
a. Inflation is 10 percent. Debt is $3 trillion. Nominal deficit is $220 billion.
b. Inflation is 2 percent. Debt is $1 trillion. Nominal deficit is $50 billion.
c. Inflation is –4 percent. (Price levels are falling.) Debt is $500 billion. Nominal deficit is $30 billion.
d. Inflation is 3 percent. Debt is $2 trillion. Nominal surplus is $100 billion.
Answer:
(A) $80 billion surplus
(B) $30 billion deficit
(C) $50 billion deficit
(D) $160 billion surplus
Explanation:
(A) The inflation is 10%
= 10/100
= 0.1
Nominal deficit is $220 billion
Debt is $3 trillion
Therefore the real deficit can be calculated as follows
= Nominal deficit-(inflation × debt)
= $220 billion-(0.1×$3 trillion)
= $220 billion-$300 billion
= -$80 billion
= $80 billion surplus
(B) The inflation rate is 2%
= 2/100
= 0.02
The nominal deficit is $50 billion
The debt is $1 trillion
Therefore the real deficit can be calculated as follows
= $50 billion-(0.02×$1 trillion)
= $50 billion - $20 billion
= $30 billion deficit
(C) The inflation rate is 4%
= 4/100
= 0.04
The nominal deficit is $30 billion
The debt is $500 billion
Therefore the real deficit can be calculated as follows
= $30 billion-(-0.04×$500 billion)
=$30 billion-(-$20 billion)
= $30 billion + $20 billion
= $50 billion deficit
(D) The inflation rate is 3%
=3/100
= 0.03
The nominal deficit is $100 billion surplus
The debt is $2 trillion
Therefore the real deficit can be calculated as follows
= $100 billion + (0.03×$2 trillion)
= $100 billion + $60 billion
= $160 billion surplus
The new service development process cycle contains all but ____ of the following activities.a) engineeringb) analysisc) developmentd) full launch
Answer:
Option A, Engineering, is the right answer.

Option “A” Engineering is the correct answer because the new service development process includes four steps that are Design, analysis, development, and full launch. Moreover, the first step of this process is a design that contains the idea generation and formulation of the product. The analysis contains business analysis as well as the analysis of the project. The next step is development, which includes the modification and testing of a product. Finally, the last step is a full launch where a company launches a product in the market. Therefore, all the options follow except option A.
Sky invests $90,000 today and receives a future value 8 years from now of $120,000. Interest is compounded twice per year. Her stated annual interest rate is _____ for this twice-a-year compounded investment.
Answer:
Annual interest rate= 3.63%
Explanation:
The rate of return earned on the investment can be worked out using the Future value of a lump sum formula.
The future value of a lump sum is the amount lump would amount to if interest is earned and compounded at a certain interest rate.
The formula is
FV = PV × (1+r)^(n)
PV = Present Value- 90,000
FV - Future Value, - 120,000
n- number of period- 8× 2 = 16 (note interest is compounded twice a year)
r- interest rate per period - ?
120,000 = 90,000× (1+r)^16
1+r)^16= 120.000/90,000= 1.333
(1+r)^16= 1.333
1+r= 1.333^(1/16)
r =1.333^(1/16) -1 = 0.01812
r =0.01812× 100= 1.812%
Bi-annual interest rate = 1.812%
Annual interest rate = Bi-annual rate × 2
Annual interest rate = 1.812% × 2 =3.63%
Annual interest rate= 3.63%
According to the liquidity premium theory, if the one-year interest rate over the next five years is expected to be 2%, 2.5%, 3.2%, 3.9%, and 4.2% per year respectively, and the liquidity premium for the same years are 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%. What would be the interest rate on a four-year bond
Answer: 4.4%
Explanation;
Using the liquidity premium theory, the interest rate on the bond would be the average of one-year interest rates up to the year of interest plus the liquidity premium in the year of interest.
Interest on four-year bond = Average of one year rates up to Year 4 + Year 4 liquidity
= (( 2 + 2.5 + 3.2 + 3.9)/4) + 1.5
= 2.9 + 1.5
= 4.4%
2. The Jasmine Tea Company purchased merchandise from a supplier for $43,338. Payment was a noninterest-bearing note requiring Jasmine to make six annual payments of $8,000 beginning one year from the date of purchase. What is the interest rate implicit in this agreement
Answer:
3%
Explanation:
Given the following :
Purchased merchandise = $43,338
Number of payments required = 6
Payment per period = $8,000
PV factor (PVIFA) = (purchased merchandise / payment per period)
PVIFA = (43,338 / 8000) = 5.41725
Using the PVIFA table, we locate the interest rate on PVIFA factor of 5.41725 for a period of 6 years.
For PVIFA of 5.4172, the interest rate is 3%
Hence the implicit Interest t rate = 3%
PVIFA = [1 - (1+r)^-n] ÷ r
What is the after-tax cost of debt for a firm if it pays at 21% of tax rate, and pays 15% on its debt
Answer:
= 11.85%
Explanation:
After tax cost of debt = (1 - tax rate) x debt
(1 - 0.21) x 15%
0.79 x 15% = 11.85%

A publicly traded construction company reported that it just paid off a loan that it received 1 year earlier. If the total amount of money the company paid was $1.7 million and the interest rate on the loan was 11% per year, how much money did the company borrow 1 year ago
Answer:
PV= $1,521,531.53
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value= $1,700,000
Number of periods= 1 year
Interest rate= 11%
To calculate the initial value of the loan, we need to use the following formula:
PV= FV/(1+i)^n
FV= future value
n= number of periods
i= interest rate
PV= present value
PV= 1,700,000/1.11
PV= $1,521,531.53

Which of the following is NOT a role the Human Resources department plays when helping orient employees?
O Assisting employees in their adjustment phase
Introducing co-workers
O Helping fill out paperwork
Analyzing new employee morale
Answer:
Analyzing new employee morale.
Explanation:
Employee Orientation is the day when an employee joins the company; his/her first day at work. The role that an HR plays to help orient employees is to ensure that the employee feels welcomed and comfortable.
HR would orient employee by introducing them to their co-workers, assist them in their adjustment phase, and also help them fill paperwork.
HR also introduces the new employees to the policies of company, expectations, also briefed about their work.
The role that's not performed by an HR is that they do not analyze morale of new employee, instead they boost their morale and help them to get comfortable.
Thus the correct answer is the last option.
In measuring an impairment loss, the difference between the asset's book value and its fair value is
Answer:
"Recognized as an impairment loss"
Explanation:
In measuring an impairment loss, the difference between the asset's book value and its fair value is recognized as an impairment loss. Impairment loss is defined as a loss incurred due to a decrease in an asset's fair market value such that the fair market value of the asset falls below its carrying value. When an asset's fair market value (the price at which the asset is being sold in the market) falls below its carrying value (acquisition cost when the asset was purchased minus accumulated depreciation), it is said to be impaired.

If policy-makers want gasoline to be produced from corn-based ethanol, why would they have to subsidize it?
a) because automobiles run better on gasoline produced from ethanol
b) because food prices are lower when gasoline is produced from corn-based ethanol
c) because gasoline would not be produced if it was not subsidized
d) because it is costlier to produce gasoline from corn-based ethanol than from petroleum
Answer:
d) because it is costlier to produce gasoline from corn-based ethanol than from petroleum
Explanation:
Government subsidize certain industries because they want to increase the production and consumption of specific goods or services. In this case, if the government wants to increase the production of gasoline produced from ethanol, it must enable ethanol producers to be able to make a profit while selling their product. Or the government might subsidize the consumers by lowering the selling price, which would encourage more consumers to use ethanol based gasoline.
The whole reasoning behind the government having to subsidize either the producers or consumers of ethanol based gasoline is that the costs of producing it are higher than the costs of producing oil based gasoline. If it wasn't so, there would be no reason to subsidize it, the market would act by itself.

The total cost to produce 100 widgets on Monday was $100. On Tuesday, 105 widgets were produced costing a total of $105. What is the marginal cost in dollars of producing widgets?
Answer:
Marginal cost = $1
Explanation:
Monday:
100 widgets cost $100
Tuesday :
105 widgets cost $105
Marginal cost (MC) of production is the change in the total cost of a product that arises from producing one additional unit of that product.
The marginal cost (MC) is calculated by dividing the change in the total cost (C) by the change in quantity (Q).
Marginal cost = Change in Total cost / change in Quantity
= (105 - 100) / (105 - 100)
= 5 / 5
= 1
Marginal cost= $1
Answer:
The marginal cost in dollars of producing widgets is $1
Explanation:
If the total cost (TC) of producing 100 widget on Monday is $100 and the total cost of producing 105 widget on Tuesday is $105, the marginal cost (MC) of producing the widgets is
Marginal cost widgets = Change in TC / Change in Widget produced
MC = $105 - $100 / 105 - 100
MC = $5/5
MC = $1

Group of answer choices
A. Security measures
B. Incident Response Plans
C. Business Continuity Plans
D. Service Level Agreements
Answer:
D. Service Level Agreements.
Explanation:
Service Level Agreements are contracts that enforce expectations and responsibilities between two parties. They usually require a service, such as 24 hour support, to be performed in a timely and reliable manner to allow for agreed actions to be taken.
Generally, a service level agreement (SLA) is usually between a service provider and its customers (end users).
In order to define and provide satisfactory service, organizations that provide services are expected to implement a service level agreement and it should comprise of the following parameters; responsibilities, expectations, metrics, time and frequency.
An example of a service level agreement is the mean time between failures (MTBF), mean time to repair or mean time to recovery (MTTR) which is generally used by telecommunications firms and internet service providers (ISP) for their respective customers.

During periods when the yield curve has a "normal" shape, as market interest rates change, which statement is TRUE
Answer
B. Long term bond prices are more volatile than short term bond prices
Explanation:
These are the options for the above question;
A. Short term bond prices are more volatile than long term bond prices
B. Long term bond prices are more volatile than short term bond prices
C. Both short term and long term prices are equally volatile
D. No relationship exists between long term and short term bond price movements
In finance, yield curve is very useful in the measurement of the ideal or belief the bond investor has concerning risk. With the help of the yield curve ,we can know relationship between the rate of interest and maturity's time.
It should be noted that during a period when the yield curve has a normal ascending shape long term bond prices are more volatile than short term bond prices, and the normal yield curve shape is usually reffered to as ""positive yield curve"".
Hence only option B is true.
