Current news and politics is full of concern about the environment, particularly as it is related to oil use and the auto industry. There are a number of ethical considerations that arise out of these issues. Please be sure to answer ALL of the following questions: Some propose that these concerns could be alleviated if our use of cars was limited by increased gasoline taxes--if gas is more expensive, we will use less of it and, as a beneficial by-product, improve the environment. What do you think of this proposal and what theory would support your position? Are there injustices built into such measures?
Answer:
It is true that raising gasoline prices (either by producing less of it, or by adding taxes) would reduce gasoline use. The concept of price elasticity of demand can helps us explain why.
Explanation:
A good can be either elastic or inelastic depending on its price elasticity of demand. A price elasticity of demand of less than 1 is considered inelastic, while a price elasticity of demand higher than 1 is considered elastic.
Elastic goods are those whose quantity demanded falls or rises more than the price. Inelastic goods are those whose quantity demanded falls or rises less than the price.
Gasoline is a inelastic good in the short-term because even with a price hike, most people will still buy gasoline because they need to move around. However, in the long-term, gasoline becomes more elastic because people replace their buy electric cars, or cars that use less fuel, etc.
What this tells us is that raising gasoline prices can reduce gasoline use in the long-term.
A built-in injustice in this measure is that it affects the poor disproportionally. Poor people also need cars to get around, and a rise in the gasoline price means that they have less money for other basic needs.
Assume that Global Cleaning Service performed cleaning services for a department store on account for $180. How would this transaction affect Global Cleaning Service's accounting equation? A. Increase both assets and liabilities by $180 B. Decrease liabilities by $180, and increase equity by $180 C. Increase both liabilities and equity by $180 D. Increase both assets and equity by $180
Answer:
D. Increase both assets and equity by $180
Explanation:
When a service is done on account, revenue will be recognized but the corresponding assets is accounts receivables and not cash. Hence the transaction will increase the company's revenue and assets balances . Revenue is turned into equity through retained earnings.
The accounting equation is
assets = liabilities + equity
This transaction will increase assets and equity be $180 each.
Providing a service on account, as Global Cleaning Services did, increases both assets and equity by the amount of the service provided. In this case, that would be $180.
Explanation:When Global Cleaning Service performs cleaning services for a department store on account for $180, this transaction will increase both assets and equity by $180. Here's why: In this scenario, Global Cleaning Service is providing a service on account which means they haven't received payment yet, but they will in future. This kind of transaction is considered an account receivable which is an asset to the company. At the same time, because they have effectively made $180 (even if they haven't received it yet), their equity (which represents ownership in the company) also increases. So, the correct answer to your question is option D.

On average, there are 8 customers arrives a local bank per hour. Bob is the only bank teller on duty at the bank currently and needs to run out for 6 minutes. What is the probability that no customer will arrive in the next 6 minutes
Answer:
The probability that no customer will arrive in the next 6 minutes is 1.2 minutes or ratio of 0.2
Explanation:
Expected value is the value on the probability of occurrence of the values.
Expected Time consumed on customer in an hour = 8 x 6 = 48 minutes
Probability of customer arrives = 48/60 = 0.8
Probability that customer will not arrive = 1 - 0.8 = 0.2
Expected time Customer will not come in 6 minutes = 6 x 0.2 = 1.2 minutes
AC variant of the gene ACTN3 which inhibits fast-twitch muscles and seems to be less prevalent in sprinters has been studied. A separate study1 indicated ethnic differences: Approximately 20% of a sample of Caucasians, approximately 25% of a sample of Asians, and approximately 1% of a sample of Africans had the gene variant. One variable is whether or not the gene variant is present and the other is which of the three ethnic groups the individual belongs to.
Answer:
Category variable: Caucasians, Asians, Africans
Quantitative variable: 20%, 25%, 1%.
Explanation: The are two variables in these study. They are categorical variable and quantitative variable.
Categorical variables are variable that helps classify a given population eg race, hair colour, skin colour. Most of the time are not numerical, so we can't multiply, add or subtract them. As given in this assignment the Caucasians, Asians and Africans are category variables.
Quantitative variables are those that numerical and they reflect count, percentages(20%, 25%, 1%) and can be added, subtracted, or multiplied. The percentage of the ethnic group is an example of quantitative variable.
The ACTN3 gene contributes to muscle variation and is associated with fast-twitch muscle fibers which benefit power athletes like sprinters. Its prevalence varies across different ethnic groups, but genetic factors alone, including ACTN3, predict only a small percentage of muscle variation, emphasizing the role of both genes and environment in athletic performance.
Explanation:Understanding the Role of ACTN3 in Athletic PerformanceThe ACTN3 gene is associated with the production of a protein that is pivotal for fast-twitch muscle fibers, which are crucial in short-duration, high-intensity activities such as sprinting. While there is a clear indication that certain alleles of the ACTN3 gene are more prevalent among elite power athletes, such as sprinters and power-lifters, this gene variant is not the sole determinant of athletic ability. The prevalence of the AC variant, which inhibits fast-twitch muscles, varies among different ethnic groups, suggesting a genetic element to athletic prowess. However, research indicates that the prediction of muscle variation based on the ACTN3 gene is only about 2-3 percent in the general population.
Environmental factors, such as diet and training, play a significant role in developing athletic abilities alongside genetics. The influence of other genes related to athleticism, although not thoroughly understood, also contributes to the complexity of predicting athletic success. Additionally, the proportion of slow-twitch to fast-twitch muscle fibers varies among individuals, affecting their potential for endurance or power-based sports.
Anecdotal evidence, such as the reference to Usain Bolt likely possessing at least one fast-twitch allele, suggests how genetic potential can translate to real-world performance when combined with appropriate environmental factors, such as training and lifestyle. This highlights the multifactorial nature of traits like athletic performance, where both genetic makeup and environmental influences determine the outcome.
Which of the following statements is CORRECT? a. Corporations and partnerships have an advantage over proprietorships because a sole proprietor is exposed to unlimited liability, but the liability of all investors in the other types of businesses is more limited. b. Because most stock ownership is concentrated in the hands of a relatively small segment of society, firms' actions to maximize their stock prices have little benefit to society. c. Most business in the U.S. is conducted by corporations, and corporations' popularity results primarily from their favorable tax treatment. d. The potential exists for agency conflicts between stockholders and managers. e. A good goal for a firm's management is maximization of expected EPS. 1 points
Answer:
d. The potential exists for agency conflicts between stockholders and managers.
Explanation:
In a company the shareholders are the owners of the company who own shares and have stake in the company. They employ managers to take care of the daily running of the company.
There is the potential of conflict between the shareholders and the management of the company because shareholders just want to make short term profit, whole the management of the company may want to take initiatives that will lead to future gains.
Management will need to communicate effectively reason for temporary slump in profits, and emphasise future gains the company stands to get.

A company sells goods for $150,000 that cost $54,000 to manufacture. Which statement is true? a. The company will recognize sales on the balance sheet of $150,000. b. The company will recognize $96,000 gross profit on the balance sheet. c. The company will decrease finished goods by $54,000. d. The company will increase finished goods by $54,000.
Answer:
The correct answer is C
Explanation:
Finished goods are those goods which have been finished or completed through the process of the manufacturing or purchased or bought in the completed form, but not sold yet to the customers.
The finished goods cost or expense is considered to be a asset which is short term in nature, which is expected to be sold in less than a year or period.
So, when the company sold the goods that worth $54,000 to the manufacture for $150,000, this will lead to decrease in the finished goods of the company which worth $54,000.
Which of the following is a primary characteristic of employing automated equipment in a company with high levels of production? Group of answer choices They help employees to acquire specialized knowledge that helps them complete tasks more efficiently. The general and administrative costs would be high for large companies. They do not help in spreading out the fixed cost of production. Large companies can reduce per-unit cost of production.
Answer: Large companies can reduce per-unit cost of production
Explanation:
A company that is already having high production levels will reduce per-unit cost greatly if they decide to go automated. Since the basic reason for increased automation is to allow for greater efficiency thereby increasing production numbers. This increased productivity which will cause the firm to enjoy greater economies of scale thus lower unit cost. Economies of scale shows the inverse relationship between unit price and quality produced, as quantity increases prices will most likely reduce.

Explanation:
In many developing countries, the majority of citizens make their living through microenterprises- informal, tiny businesses that barely yield enough to survive.Without financial services, most of these entrepreneurs find growth simply impossible. The Foundation for International Community Assistance (FINCA), a nonprofit established in 1984, stepped into the gap by providing micro-loans ($50-$500) to the poorest of the poor entrepreneurs, through village banks that are administered by the people they serve. The FINCA program has been amazingly successful at breaking the vicious cycle of poverty for its clients. Check out their story on the Web at www.finca.org. Why has the FINCA approach worked so well? Do you think it would work in poor communities in the United States? Why or why not?
Answer:
The company provides micro financial services to poor and the needy people having no access to regular banking services
This helps to boost small businesses and financial inclusion which are heart of any economy and vital to the economy and promoting growth.
Possible measures taken by the organization includes providing funds for at lower interest rates and providing credit services. Subsidized credit to deficient areas increases productivity and employment growth by means of boosting the small and medium-sized enterprises.
This may work in poor communities in United States. However in united schemes there are lots of other governmental schemes such as coupons, free food etc program are already running.
However, these programs are also carrying a potential here. But there potential is much greater in poor countries having less developed banking and financial reach.
Explanation:
The FINCA approach has worked well due to providing micro-loans to the poorest entrepreneurs, fostering trust through local administration, but its applicability in poor communities in the United States may be limited due to differences in socio-economic conditions and infrastructure.
The success of the FINCA approach can be attributed to several key factors. Firstly, by providing micro-loans to the poorest entrepreneurs, FINCA empowers individuals to invest in their own businesses, generating income and lifting themselves out of poverty.
Secondly, the village bank model ensures that loans are administered locally, fostering trust and accountability within the community. Additionally, FINCA's focus on financial inclusion addresses a critical need in developing countries where access to traditional banking services is limited.
However, the effectiveness of the FINCA approach in poor communities in the United States may be limited due to differences in socio-economic conditions and infrastructure.
While microenterprise development programs can certainly benefit marginalized communities in the U.S., the extent of poverty and financial exclusion may not be as severe as in developing countries. Additionally, regulatory and cultural differences may present challenges to implementing a village bank model in the U.S.

An online bank is offering to pay 0.30% interest per month on deposits. Your local bank offers to pay 0.70% interest quarterly (every 3 months). Which is the higher interest rate?
Answer:
The higher interest rate is 0.3% monthly rather than 0.7% quarterly
Explanation:
Equivalent Rates of Interest
Rates of interest are related to time. If we are given a specific monthly rate r, it can be found an equivalent rate in another time base. But it depends on the type of interest we're working with (simple or compound)
If we have a r=0.3% per month, we can find the equivalent quarterly rate by simply multiplying by 3, if the investment is made on the simple interest type. In this case r = 0.3%*3 = 0.9% quarterly.
If we are working with compound interest, the equivalent rate is more complicated to find
(1+r)=(1+0.003)^3=1.0009003
We find
[tex]r=0.009003*100=9.003\%[/tex]
In both cases, the higher interest rate is 0.3% monthly rather than 0.7% quarterly
The interest rate that is higher in comparison would be:
0.3% monthly
Find the rate of interestGiven that,
Interest rate per month = 0.3%
Interest rate per quarter = 0.7%
If we calculate the annual interest for monthly and quarterly rate, it will be:
Monthly
No. of months in a year = 12
Monthly rate = 0.3%
So,
Annual Interest = 0.3 × 12
= 3.6%
Quarterly
No. of quarters in a year = 4
Quarterly rate = 0.7%
So,
Annual Interest = 0.7 × 4
= 2.8%
Since 3.6 is greater than 2.8, thus, 0.3% monthly is higher.

Which statement corresponds to this specific situation? Rowan owns a computer programming business with 15 employees. He is hiring a new employee, and he turns down a 45-year-old man because he is "too old to keep up with the rest of the group." O
a. Employer may legally discriminate because the law doesn't apply to this situation
b. Employer may legally discriminate based on BFOQ
c. Employer may legally discriminate based on number of employees
d.Employer may not legally discriminate closed principal
Answer:
b. Employer may legally discriminate based on BFOQ exception
Explanation:
The statement that corresponds to the situation should be that the Employer can legally discriminate base on BFOQ exception. BFOQ means Bona Fide Occupational Qualification and under the United States laws, discrimination against people based on their gender, age, race, national origin religion, is generally prohibited. It is important to state that there are exceptions to this BFOQ law which allows an employer to refuse to employ a person under certain circumstances, for example, the nature of the job may allow the employer not to employ an Applicant seeking for employment.
Therefore, for an employer to reject employing an applicant, he must show that the situation at hand falls under the BFOQ exception, that is the BFOQ exception allows him to discriminate against the applicant. For example, where a doctor is required for a job in the hospital and pharmacist applied for the post, the employer is legally allowed to discriminate base on BFOQ exception.
So from the situation presented, Rowan is not legally allowed to turn down a 45-year-old man who applies for the job because he is too old to keep up with the rest of the group. Rowan may reasonably believe that the 45-year-old man is too old to keep up with the rest of the group but to the court perspective, the nature of the job does not require a young person to perform so anybody of any age can apply and the 45-year-old man is qualified for the job then Rowan will be liable for discrimination base on BFOQ because there is nothing about the responsibilities of the job that the 45-year-old man can not do.

Indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false: a. Because they can control product price, monopolists are always assured of profitable production by simply charging the highest price consumers will pay.
Answer:
The statement is true. Because they can control product price, monopolists are always assured of profitable production by simply charging the highest price consumers will pay.
Explanation:
In economics, a monopoly is a term that describes an industry or other economic sector where control rests with one supplier as that supplier is the only one supplying the market. In theory, that means total control or "complete monopoly" but in practice most monopolies today are "quasi-monopolies", with a supplier dominating the market almost completely but with the space for a few small companies as well. The monopolist can get a high price for his product by limiting market supply so that the supply of goods is less than the demand for it.
Data concerning Bedwell Enterprises Corporation's single product appear below: Selling price per unit $ 190.00 Variable expenses per unit $ 94.50 Fixed expense per month $ 438,790 The unit sales to attain the company's monthly target profit of $25,000 is closest to: (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
Answer:
Target sales unit = 4,856 units
Explanation:
We know,
Target sales unit = (Fixed expense + Target profit) ÷ (Sales price per unit - Variable expense per unit)
Given,
Fixed expense = $438,790
Sales price per unit = $190.00
Target profit = $25,000
Variable expense per unit = $94.50
Putting the values into the above formula,
Target sales unit = ($438,790 + $25,000) ÷ ($190.00 - 94.50)
or, Target sales unit = $463,790 ÷ $95.50
Therefore, Target sales unit = 4,856 units

A business school would like to know that whether the average number of years of work experience of MBA applicants is less than 3 years. Based on last year's applicants, it was found that among a sample of 47, the average number of years of work experience is 2.57 with a standard deviation of 3.67. Apply t-test to analyze the sample and draw a conclusion about the years of work experience of MBA applicants.g
Answer:
The test statistic t of the sample is -0.804.
There is sufficient evidence to ascertain that the average number of years of work experience of MBA applicants is less than 3 years.
Explanation:
Null hypothesis: The average number of years of work experience of MBA applicants is 3 years.
Alternate hypothesis: The average number of yet of work experience of MBA applicants is less than 3 years.
Test statistic (t) = (sample mean - population mean) ÷ sd/√n
sample mean = 2.57
population mean = 3
sd = 3.67
n = 47
t = (2.57 - 3) ÷ 3.67/√47 = -0.43 ÷ 0.535 = -0.804
Assuming a 5% significance level
degree of freedom = n - 1 = 47 - 1 = 46
The critical value corresponding to 46 degrees of freedom and 5% significance level is 2.013.
Conclusion:
Reject the null hypothesis because the test statistic -0.804 is less than the critical value 2.013.
The years of work experience of MBA applicants is less than 3.
