Answer:
defensive stance
Explanation:
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) can be defined as a strategic management concept which typically involves socially contributing to the growth and development of the people, community and the world at large. Thus, it's an organization's obligation to act in a manner that benefits and adds significant value to the society, usually it has its business operations.
Some examples of CSR programs are building of roads, provision of electricity, water supply, establishing health care centers, awarding scholarships etc.
In addition to making profits and maximizing shareholders, organizations are required to lessen negative environmental impact or degradation and provide social amenities such as pipe-borne water, electricity, roads, etc.
According to Carroll, the four (4) main levels of an organization's pyramid of corporate social responsibility are;
I. Legal
II. Economic.
III. Philanthropic.
IV. Ethical.
However, an organization has taken a defensive stance to social responsibility when it decide to meet only minimum legal requirements in its commitments to individuals and groups in a social environment.
On the other hand, a proactive stance can be defined as voluntary business practices adopted by an organization or business firm beyond the standard regulatory practice, so as to actively enhance and facilitate growth and development in a society.

Purchase on February 17 $217,000
Purchase on May 6 137,000
Purchase on September 8 167,000
Purchase on December 4 417,000
Required:
Calculate cost of goods sold for the year.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = 948000

Inventory at the beginning of the year = $62000
Inventory at the end of the year = $52000
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + purchases during the year - ending inventory
Cost of goods sold = $62000 + 217000 + 137000 + 167000 + 417000 - $52000
Cost of goods sold = 948000

On September 1, Year 1, West Company borrowed $50,000 from Valley Bank. West agreed to pay interest annually at the rate of 6% per year. The note issued by West carried an 18-month term. West Company has a calendar year-end. What is the amount of interest expense that will be reported on West's income statement for Year 1
Answer:
$999.90
Explanation:
The interest expenses will be charged for 4 month (September 1 to December 31)
Interest expenses = $50,000 * 6% * 4/12
Interest expenses = $50,000 * 0.06 * 0.3333
Interest expenses = $999.90
So, the amount of interest expense that will be reported on West's income statement for Year 1 is $999.90
Your boss believes the company's power plant is producing too much air pollution on a typical island. Your boss gives you three choices for dealing with this problem because he/she does not want to deal with it: You can pay a pollution tax (Carbon Offsets) one time of $13,000,000 immediately. You can close the plant and install a power cable from the mainland to the Island. That will cost you $1,000,000 at the end of this year, $3,000,000 at the end of next year and then $750,000 forever for maintenance. You can retrofit the plant with scrubbers to reduce the emissions to make the plant green. That will cost $7.5m at the end of this year and $100,000 for 50-years for maintenance. Assume that the cost of generating power on the mainland is approximately the same as the cost of generating power at the Island's plant. Assume, this comes as a surprise to you and you, have not saved any money in reserves, and you need to raise capital. Additional information is that market has a 12 percent market risk premium on the power plant with the risk-free rate being 5 percent with a company tax rate of 35 percent.
Current total raised capital at the power plant: (This will help you calculate the WACC) Debt – 7,000 outstanding bonds, at 7.5% coupon and 20 years to maturity. These bonds pay interest semiannually and quoted a price of 108 percent of par. Common Stock -180,000 shares outstanding, selling for $50 per share: Beta .90. Preferred Stock – 8,000 shares of 5.5 percent preferred stock outstanding, currently selling for $95.00 per share. Please answer in essay format and provide your Excel document showing all your calculation in appendixes choose the best option for Island. Support your answer with your calculations. Also, to calculations use specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles.
Answer:
WACC is 10.38%.
Best option is no 3, paying $750,000 this year and then $100,000 for 5 years.
Explanation:
WACC = Common stock * cost of equity + Debt * Cost of debt + Preferred stock * rate of return.
Common stock = 180,000 shares * $50 = $9,000,000
Preferred stock = 8,000 shares * $95 per share = $760,000
Debt = 7,000 bonds * 108% = $7,560,000
Cost of equity : 12% * 0.9 + 5% = 12.5%
Cost of debt : 7.5% * 0.65 = 4.40%
Preferred stock return rate : 5.5% / 95 = 5.79%
WACC = 10.38%
PV for option 1: $13,000,000
PV for option 2: $9,298,647
PV for option 3: $7,661,247
If the price per unit were doubled at the same time that the variable cost per unit was doubled, the break-even point would be:
Answer:
halved
Explanation:
Breakeven quantity are the number of units produced and sold at which net income is zero
Breakeven quantity = fixed cost / price – variable cost per unit
Assume fixed cost is initially 1000 units, price is 10, variable cost is 5
breakeven quantity = 1000 / (10 - 5) = 200
assume price per unit were doubled at the same time that the variable cost per unit was doubled
1000 / ( 20 - 10) = 100
breakeven point is halved

The spot price of an investment asset that provides no income is $32.10 and the risk-free rate for all maturities (with continuous compounding) is 6.25%. What is the 4-year forward price? Answer with two decimal digits accuracy. Example: 52.12
Answer:
$41.22
Explanation:
Forward price = Spot price*(1 + Risk free rate)^Time of contractContinuous compounding rate = e^(0.0625) = 1.06449445892 = 1.0645
Forward price = $32.10 * (1.0645)^4
Forward price = $32.10 * 1.28405215218
Forward price = $41.2180741
Forward price = $41.22
So, the 4-year forward price is $41.22.
Assume the following information from a schedule of cost of goods manufactured:
Beginning work in process inventory 30,000
Direct materials used in production 50,000
Direct labor 60,000
Total manufacturing costs to account for 219,000
Ending work in process inventory 72,000
What is the manufacturing overhead applied to work in process?
A. $15,800
B. $144,500
C. $150.000
D. $79,000
Answer:
The manufacturing overhead applied to work in process is:
D. $79,000
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Beginning work in process inventory 30,000
Direct materials used in production 50,000
Direct labor 60,000
Total manufacturing costs to account for 219,000
Manufacturing overhead applied to WIP 79,000 (219,000 - 140,000)
Ending work in process inventory 72,000
b) The manufacturing overhead applied to Work in Process is the difference between the total manufacturing costs to account for and the costs of beginning work in process, direct materials, and direct labor for the period. When the ending work in process is deducted from the total manufacturing costs, the resulting figure represents the cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory.
Assume you deposit $5,000 at the end of each year into an account paying 9.5 percent interest. a. How much money will you have in the account in 19 years
Answer: $242,567.27
Explanation:
The $5,000 is an annuity as it is being paid every year and is a constant amount.
The value in 19 years is the future value of this annuity:
Future value of annuity = Annuity * ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of years - 1) / rate
= 5,000 * ( ( 1 + 9.5%)¹⁹ - 1) / 9.5%
= $242,567.27
What IHRM activities would be pertinent to the sending, by Médecins Sans Frontieres, of a medical team into a country such as Bangladesh?
Answer:
Human resource management is responsible for strategically managing labor relations in an organization so that its goals and objectives are achieved. The HR department is responsible for providing employees with working conditions, training and ideal remuneration so that the work is carried out in a legal, fair and ethical manner, so that there is an organizational culture in the company that favors communication and interpersonal relationships.
In the case of sending an average team to a country like Bangladesh, it would be necessary for HRM to play an essential role in meeting the needs of its employees in a foreign country, considering that Bangladesh is a country with extreme conditions of poverty and social inequality, the medical team should be well prepared by HR with adequate support and training to deal with adverse conditions such as lack of social security, poverty, epidemics, and other relevant and culturally distinct issues, so that the team does not face a reality shock that makes it difficult to work and the achievement of the proposed objectives.
Pina Colada Corp. does not ring up sales taxes separately on the cash register. Total receipts for February amounted to $Unresolved. If the sales tax rate is 6%, what amount must be remitted to the state for February's sales taxes

So, the amount that must be remitted to the state for February's sales taxes is $2,616.
A firm that purchases a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) information system benefits by getting a standardized system without having to absorb development costs, but risks getting a system that does not align with the firm's businesses processes and existing technologies.
a. True
b. False
Answer: True
Explanation:
Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software refers to the software products which are readily made and hence are available in the market for purchase.
One benefit of this is that when it's purchased, the company gets a standardized system without having to absorb development cost. Despite this advantage, it has a disadvantage as the company can risk getting a system which doesn't align with the businesses processes and existing technologies of the company.

n January 1, 2018, the Shagri Company began construction on a new manufacturing facility for its own use. The building was completed in 2019. The only interest-bearing debt the company had outstanding during 2018 was long-term bonds with a book value of $11,600,000 and an effective interest rate of 11%. Construction expenditures incurred during 2018 were as follows: January 1 $ 660,000 March 1 696,000 July 31 576,000 September 30 760,000 December 31 460,000 Required: Calculate the amount of interest capitalized for 2018.
Answer:
$183,700
Explanation:
Calculation to determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018.
First step is to calculate the Accumlated expenditure
Date Expenditure * Weight = Average
January 1 660000 * 12/12 =660,000
March 1 696000 * 10/12 = 580,000
July 31 576000 * 5/12 = 240,000
September 30 760000 * 3/12 =190,000
December 31 460000 * 0/12 = 0
Accumulated expenditure=660,000+580,000+240,000+190,000
Accumulated expenditure=$1,670,000
Now let determine the amount of interest capitalized for 2018
Interest capitalized for 2018=$1,670,000 * 11%
Interest capitalized for 2018=$183,700
Therefore the amount of interest capitalized for 2018 is $183,700

Suppose your client wishes to purchase an annuity that pays $50,000 each year for 5 years, with the first payment 4 years from now. At an interest rate of 10%, how much would the client need to invest now
Answer:
The amount the client would need to invest now is $182,143.58.
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the following two steps:
Step 1: Calculate the present value (PV) of the amount invested 4 years from now
This can be calculated using the formula for calculating the present value of an ordinary annuity as follows:
PV4 = P * ((1 - (1 / (1 + r))^n) / r) …………………………………. (1)
Where;
PV4 = Present value of the amount invested 4 years from now = ?
P = Annual payment = $50,000
r = Interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years the annual payment will be received = 5
Substitute the values into equation (1), we have:
PV4 = $50,000 * ((1 - (1 / (1 + 0.10))^5) / 0.10)
PV4 = $189,539.34
Step 2: Calculate the amount the client would need to invest now
This can be calculated using the present value formula as follows:
PV = PV4 / (1 + r)^n …………………………. (2)
Where:
PV = Present value or the amount the client would need to invest now = ?
PV4 = Present value of the amount invested 4 years from now = $189,539.34
r = Interest rate = 10%, or 0.10
n = number of years of PV4 from now = 4
Substituting the relevant values into equation one, we have:
PV = $189,539.34 / (1 + 0.01)^4
PV = $182,143.58
Therefore, the amount the client would need to invest now is $182,143.58.
The current ratio of a firm with current assets of $300,000, current liabilities of $100,000, and inventory of $100,000 is:
Answer: 3.0
Explanation:
The current ratio of a firm allows us to tell whether the company is able to pay off its current obligations using its current assets.
Current ratio is calculated by:
= Current assets / Current liabilities
= 300,000 / 100,000
= 3.0
Inventory is already included in current assets so there is no need to add it again.

Explanation:
Note: This question is not complete as the options are omitted. The options are therefore provided to complete the question before answering the question as follows:
A) operating income will decrease by $14,494
B) operating income will increase by $9,266
C) operating income will decrease by $23,760
D) operating income will increase by $14,494
The explanation of the answer is now provided as follows:
Note: See the attached excel file for the Determination of Operating Income BEFORE and AFTER the 11% reduction in the selling price using Contribution Format Income Statement.
From the attached excel file, we have:
Operating Income BEFORE 11% reduction in selling price = $26,00
Operating Income AFTER 11% reduction in selling price = $11,506
Decrease in operating income = Operating Income BEFORE 11% reduction in selling price - Operating Income AFTER 11% reduction in selling price = $26,00 - $11,506 = $14,494
Therefore, the correct option is A) operating income will decrease by $14,494.

Which of the following would not occur as a result of a monopolistically competitive firm suffering a short-run economic loss?
A) The firm could exit the industry in the long run.
B) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left.
C) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the right.
D) If the firm remains in the industry in the long run it will break even.
choose "A"
choose "B"
choose "C"
choose "D"
Answer:
B) If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left.
Explanation:
This is because the statement "If the firm does not exit the industry in the long run its demand curve will shift to the left, " simply means that if the monopolistic competitive firm stays in a particular industry for long, the firm will experience a situation in which less of the good or service is demanded at every price.
However, this cannot be true because a monopolistic competitive firm produces unique products that tend to have its specific customers. These customers, in the long run, will demand more goods and services of the firms which will be affected positively by a lot of reasons including prices of related goods, increase in salary, better economy at large, etc.
Laurel, Inc., and Hardy Corp. both have 7.3 percent coupon bonds outstanding, with semiannual interest payments, and both are currently priced at the par value of $1,000. The Laurel, Inc., bond has 4 years to maturity, whereas the Hardy Corp. bond has 23 years to maturity. If interest rates suddenly rise by 2 percent, what is the percentage change in the price of these bonds
Answer:
Use a financial calculator to find out the price of both bonds after the drop in interest rate.
Laurel Bond
When a bond is trading at par, it means that the interest rate is equal to the coupon rate.
Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50
Terms till maturity = 4 * 2 = 8 semi annual periods
Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%
Future value = $1,000 par value
Price will come out as $993.20
Percentage change = (993.20 - 1,000) / 1,000 * 100%
= -0.68%
Hardy Bond
Semiannual Coupon = (7.3% * 1,000) / 2 = $36.50
Terms till maturity = 23 * 2 = 46 semi annual periods
Interest rate = (7.3% + 2%) / 2 = 4.65%
Future value = $1,000 par value
Price = $811.53
Percentage change = (811.53 - 1,000) / 1,000
= -18.85%
