Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Standard:
Direct materials 2.0 plates $2.75 per plate
Direct labor 0.2 hours $15.00 per hour
Variable manufacturing overhead 0.2 hours $7.00 per hour
Actual:
1,500 blood tests.
3,600 plates were purchased for $9,540
3,200 plates were used for blood tests
340 actual direct labor-hours were worked for $5,550
1)The materials price variance:
Direct material price variance= (standard price - actual price)*actual quantity
Direct material price variance= (2.75 - 2.65)*3,600= $360 favorable
2) The materials quantity variance:
Direct material quantity variance= (standard quantity - actual quantity)*standard price
Direct material quantity variance= (2*1,500 - 3,200)*2.75
Direct material quantity variance= $550 unfavorable
3) The labor rate variance:
Direct labor rate variance= (Standard Rate - Actual Rate)*Actual Quantity
Direct labor rate variance= (15 - 16.32)*340= $448.8 unfavorable
4) The labor efficiency variance:
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*standard rate
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= (1,500*0.2 - 340)*15
Direct labor time (efficiency) variance= $600 unfavorable
5) The variable overhead efficiency variance:
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (Standard Quantity - Actual Quantity)*Standard rate
Variable overhead efficiency variance= (1,500*0.2 - 340)*7
Variable overhead efficiency variance= $280 unfavorable

In order to prevent the value of money in her cash register from falling too quickly, Teresa sends an employee to the bank four times per day to make deposits in an interest-bearing account that protects the store's revenues from the effects of inflation. This is an example of the _______________
Answer:
Shoe leather costs
Explanation:
Inflation can be defined as the constant rise in the prices of goods and services within an specific period of time. It can also be described as the increase in the cost of living for the average individuals as they now struggle to buy products in the market whose price has been increased way above their normal budget. It could be as as result of many factors which such as the repayment of a large amount of money borrowed by the government, increase in the rate at which government spends money.
Shoe leather costs can be described as the amount of time and effort an individual spends to reduce the effect caused by high prices of goods.
In the scenario described above, Teresa sends her employee to the bank four times per day to pay in money into the account inorder to curb the effect of inflation, this is described as shoe leather costs because regular visits to the bank tends to wear off the shoes of the employee.
Which of the following statements is false about assessing interests in negotiations? Select one: a. If you don’t ask what the other’s interests are, you are likely to be off base. b. Parties in conflict often assume they know the interests of the other. c. Taking a firm position suggests several interests typically underlie it. d. Parties always have multiple interests. e. Relational and identity issues are rarely important in negotiations.
Answer:
E) Relational and identity issues are rarely important in negotiations.

Sometimes a good relationship between the negotiating parties can help to solve the problem more swiftly, but bad relationships can result in exactly the opposite.
Your company is considering expanding its retail outlet. Currently, inventory levels are $5,000. With the expansion, it is expected that inventory levels will need to be $9,500. It is expected that accounts receivable will increase by $4,000 and account payable will decrease by $10,000. The expansion of the building will cost $120,000. What change in net working capital is this expansion causing
Answer:
Change is net working capital is -$18,500(use of cash)
Explanation:
Due to the expansion inventory would increase by $4,500 ($9,500-$5,000)
Accounts receivable would also increase by $4,000 over its previous amount.
Accounts payable would reduce by $10,000 as compared to previous balance of accounts payable
The change in net working capital=$4,500+$4,000+$10,000=$18,500
This is a use of cash not a source of cash inflow
) A company sells a software suite that includes a word processor and spreadsheet applications. The suite sells for $250 and the items are also available separately for $200 (spreadsheet) and $170 (word processor). The spreadsheet app is by far the best seller of the standalone product sales. Using the incremental-revenue allocation method and assuming that the spreadsheet is the primary product, how much of the $250 revenue from the bundled product sale would be allocated to the spreadsheet and to the word processing products?
Answer:
Allocated to the the word processing products would be$80
To the spreadsheet would be allocated revenues for $170
Explanation:
In order to calculate how much of the $250 revenue from the bundled product sale would be allocated to the the word processing products we would have to use the following formula:
allocated to the the word processing products= sold price suits- spreadsheet price
allocated to the the word processing products= $250-$170
allocated to the the word processing products=$80
To the spreadsheet would be allocated revenues for $170
A U.S. company's foreign subsidiary had the following amounts in stickles (§) in 2013: COGS § 12,000,000 Ending Inventory 600,000 Beg. inventory 240,000 The average exchange rate during 2013 was §1 = $.96. The beginning inventory was acquired when the exchange rate was §1 = $1.20. The ending inventory was acquired when the exchange rate was §1 = $.90. The exchange rate at December 31, 2013 was §1 = $.84. Assuming that the foreign country had a highly inflationary economy, at what amount should the foreign subsidiary's cost of goods sold have been reflected in the 2013 U.S. dollar income statement? A. $11,253,600. B. $11,577,600. C. $11,649,600. D. $11,613,600. E. $11,523,600. D. $11,613,600.

B. $11,577,600. C. $11,520,000. D. $11,613,600. E. $11,523,600.
Answer:
Option (D)
Explanation:
According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-
Particular Amount × Exchange rate Total value after exchange rate
Cost of goods sold 12,000,000
Add-ending inventory 600,000 × 0.9 $540,000
Less-opening inventory 240,000 × 1.2 $288,000
Purchase 12,360,000 × 0.96 $11,865,600
Cost of Goods Sold After Exchange Rate = Purchase - Ending Inventory + Opening Inventory
= $11,865,600 - $540,000 + $288,000
= $11,613,600
According to the analysis, option (D) $11,613,600 is correct.

4 $226,000 $126,993.21 $290,729.70
Answer:
No
The amount of cumulative discounted cash flows is less than the the amount invested in the project. This means that the project is unprofitable.
Explanation:
The discounted cash flow method calculates how long it takes to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative discounted cash flow.
A project should be accepted if the amount invested in the project is recovered from the cumulative discounted cash flow within the period specified by the firm.
The cumulative discounted cash flow, $290,729.70 is less than the amount invested $318,000. So the project shouldn't be accepted.

On May 1, A makes a written offer to B for the sale of A's car. On May 2, A mails B a letter revoking the offer. On May 3, A telephones B to tell him that he is revoking the offer. On May 4, B learns that A has sold the car to C. On May 5, A's letter finally gets to B. On what day did A's offer terminate? Why?
Answer:
On what day did A's offer terminate?
May 3
Why?
In order for a written offer to be terminated, the offeror must revoke the offer, the offeree must make a counteroffer, or the valid time for the offer must expire. In this case, A is the offeror and B is the offeree. A can revoke his/her offer as long as it is done before B accepted it. In order for the revocation to be valid, B must be notified about it.
In this case, A called B on May 3 to notify him/her that the offer was being revoked. Legally, that would be the day when the offer was terminated. The revocation letter is not important here because it arrived after A had called B.

a. "The choice of strategy for a multinational firm must depend on a comparison of the benefits of that strategy (in terms of value creation) with the costs of implementing it (as defined by organizational architecture necessary for implementation). On this basis, it may be logical for some firms to pursue a localization strategy, others a global or international strategy, and still others a transnational strategy." Is this statement correct? Why or why not?
Explanation:
This statement is correct because the benefits and costs of localization, global, international and transnational strategies for a multinational are different, so the choice of the best strategy must be aligned with the objectives and goals that a company intends to achieve in the market, in order to generate a cost / benefit exchange that will help the multinational to remain competitive in the world market.
It is necessary for the company to observe each different strategy from a cost and benefit perspective, in order to obtain a competitive advantage in a highly competitive market.
Therefore, the best strategy will be the one that will help the company to reduce costs and increase the local response capacity in the global market.
The local strategy, for example, can generate competitive advantage, but which will need to substantially reduce its cost structure to compete with well positioned competitors, which can generate a change that leads the company to adopt a transnational strategy.
The international strategy can only work in the short term, since in order to remain in the market in the long term, the multinational needs to adopt a global standardization and a transnational strategy in order to generate competitive advantage.

In its first year of operations, Gomes Company recognized $28,000 in service revenue, $6,000 of which was on account and still outstanding at year-end. The remaining $22,000 was received in cash from customers. The company incurred operating expenses of $15, 800. Of these expenses, $12,000 were paid in cash; $3, 800 was still owed on account at year-end. In addition, Gomes prepaid $2, 400 for insurance coverage that would not be used until the second year of operations.
(a) Calculate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting, and calculate the first year's net earnings under the basis of accounting.
(b) Which basis of accounting (cash or accrual) provides more useful information for decision-makers?
Answer:
a. The first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting is $7,600 and the first year's net earnings under the basis of accounting is $12,200
b. Accrual basis of accounting provides more useful information.
Explanation:
a. In order to calculate the first year's net earnings under the cash basis of accounting we would have to use the following formula:
Cash basis net earnings = Service revenue (Cash) – Cash expenses – Prepaid expenses
Cash basis net earnings =$22,000 – $12,000 – $2,400
Cash basis net earnings =$7,600
In order to calculate the first year's net earnings under the the basis of accounting we would have to use the following formula:
Accrual basis net earnings = Service revenue – Operating expenses incurred
Accrual basis net earnings= $28,000 – $15,800
Accrual basis net earnings=$12,200
b. Accrual basis of accounting provides more useful information, because in this system revenues are recorded what actually earned and expenses are recorded what actually incurred for earning such revenues. Therefore, it gives better profit picture
Domingo Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning inventory in the first processing department consisted of 500 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were: Cost Percent Complete Materials costs $ 5,600 50% Conversion costs $ 1,800 20% A total of 6,900 units were started and 6,200 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month: Cost Materials costs $ 158,800 Conversion costs $ 120,500 The ending inventory was 85% complete with respect to materials and 75% complete with respect to conversion costs. What are the equivalent units for conversion costs for the month in the first processing department
Answer:
6,500
Explanation:
As per the given question the solution of equivalent units for conversion costs is provided below:-
To reach the equivalent units of conversion first we need to find out the ending inventory units which is below:-
Ending inventory units = Beginning units + Started - Units completed
= 500 + 6,900 - 6,200
= 7,400 - 6,200
= 1,200
Equivalent units of conversion = Units completed + Ending Work in progress
= (6,200 × 100%) + (1,200 × (100% - 75%))
= 6,200 + 300
= 6,500
So, we have calculated the equivalent units of conversion by using the above formula.
On February 1, 2014, Nelson Corporation purchased a parcel of land as a factory site for $280,000. An old building on the property was demolished, and construction began on a new building which was completed on November 1, 2014. Costs incurred during this period are listed below: Demolition of old building $ 20,000 Architect's fees 35,000 Legal fees for title investigation and purchase contract 5,000 Construction costs 1,340,000 (Salvaged materials resulting from demolition were sold for $10,000.)
Nelson should record the cost of the land and new building, respectively, as
Answer:
Land = $295,000
Building = $1,375,000
Explanation:
The computation of cost of the land and new building is shown below:-
Land = Parcel of land + Demolition of old building + Legal fees for title investigation and purchase contract - Salvaged materials resulting from demolition were sold
= $280,000 + $20,000 + $5,000 - $10,000
= $305,000 - $10,000
= $295,000
Building = Architect's fees + Construction costs
= $35,000 + $1,340,000
= $1,375,000
We simply applied the above formulas
The PMI "Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct" provides guidelines for ethical behavior by project management practitioners. It describes four main values that should guide a project managerâs actions. List these four values and give one example per value of why it should guide a project managerâs actions.
Answer/Explanation:
The four core values that guides actions of project management practitioners according to the PMI "Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct" are:
1. Honesty: this value for example requires practitioners to discharge their duties with all sincerity of purpose and should in all manner and situation declare or provide information or reports that are true, accurate and reliable, even if it seems unpalatable or unpleasant. Honesty must be upheld.
2. Responsibility: this value mandates practitioners to take responsibility of their actions and inactions, and make only the right decisions that would benefit the public society and ensures public safety. Practitioners for example, can report any compromise made by any individual that may compromise standards and policies that are laid down.
3. Respect: this mandates practitioners to have regard for each other and all resources under every practitioner's care must be treated with utmost caution and respect. This code would guide practitioners in their behaviors towards discharging their duties and making negotiations in good faith.
4. Fairness: this value ensures all practitioners take decisions that are objective, act and discharge their duties without partiality or favouritism. This is very important in the case of bidding of contract. There should be fairness and transparency.

Think about the different types of financial statements you learned about the income statement, statement of retained earnings, balance sheets, and statements of cash flow. If you were an investor, would you place more emphasis on any one particular financial statement? Why, or why not?
Answer:
The three most important financial statements are the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement. They are all linked together, and any investor needs to analysis the three of them together.
The income statement and the cash flow statement show information about a certain period of time, while the balance sheet is like a photo of one single day. Each one shows something different about the company:
the income statement shows how profitable the company is. But no matter how profitable a company might be, if it doesn't have enough cash to function then it is bankrupt, that is the importance of the cash flow statement. The balance sheet shows the financial position of the company, specially how the company is being financed.
Where one ends, other one begins:
The income statement starts with total revenue and ends in net income. Net income is the starting point of the cash flow statement and at the same time shows the change in retained earnings (balance sheet). The cash flow statement starts with net income and ends in the cash balance which is the starting point of the balance sheet. The balance sheet ends in retained earnings and the changes in retained earnings are given by net income and dividends paid.
They are all linked together and they are all needed in order to perform a proper analysis.
Required earnings are the:_______
a. adjusted net income multiplied by the required rate of return on common equity capital.
b. net income the analyst expects the firm to generate multiplied by the required rate of return on common equity capital.
c. the market value of common equity capital at the beginning of the period multiplied by the required rate of return on common equity capital.
d. the book value of common equity capital at the beginning of the period multiplied by the required rate of return on common equity capital.
Explanation:
Required earnings are the minimum amount of earnings to meet the cost of equity capital requirements.
required earnings = book value of equity capital×required rate of return on common capital.(or common capital).
multiplying by market value is not correct to find out the required earnings.(option a is false ).
net income is calculated from required earnings, so there is no need to multiply net income or adjusted net income with required rate of return on common equity capital. Hence, b and c both are wrong.
Hence option d that is the book value of common equity capital at the beginning of the period multiplied by the required rate of return on common equity capital, is correct.
In their Portland, Oregon facility, Wavy Wood Works makes several types of wood bowls from coastal drift wood. To make a bowl, the first step is to clean the drift wood. Each piece of drift wood makes a single bowl. There is one cleaning machine. It takes 40 seconds to load each piece of wood and the machine can hold up to 35 pieces. Once all of the pieces are loaded into the machine, it takes 45 minutes to clean the set (no matter the number of pieces in the set). Once the wood is cleaned, 15 skilled artisans carve the bowls, each one takes on average 100 minutes to produce each bowl. After carving, bowls are finished with a stain. It takes 30 seconds to load each bowl into the stain machine. The staining machine holds up to 35 bowls. Once all of the bowls are loaded, they are soaked for 80 minutes. After staining, bowls are unloaded onto drying racks. There is plenty of space on the drying racks.
What is the maximum capacity (bowls per hour) of this process?
Whispering Winds Corp. took a physical inventory on December 31 and determined that goods costing $213,000 were on hand. Not included in the physical count were $35,000 of goods purchased from Coronado Industries, FOB, shipping point, and $26,500 of goods sold to Sunland Company for $31,000, FOB destination. Both the Coronado purchase and the Sunland sale were in transit at year-end.
Required:
1. What amount should Whispering Winds report as its December 31 inventory?
Answer:
Whispering Winds December 31 inventory $ 274,500
Explanation:
FOB shipping point means free on board shipping point. It gives the buyer the ownership of the goods purchased once they are shipped. These in transit are under the buyer's ownership.
FOB destination means that the buyers get the ownership when the goods reach the destination point.These in transit are not under in the buyer's ownership.
Goods costing on hand $213,000
Add Goods purchased FOB, shipping point $ 35000
Add Goods sold to Sunland Company FOB destination $ 26,500
Whispering Winds December 31 inventory $ 274,500
Both purchased and sold are under the Whispering Winds Corp. inventory as they sold ones have not reached the destination and purchased have left the shipping point.
A factory machine was purchased for $393000 on January 1, 2018. It was estimated that it would have a $74000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. It was also estimated that the machine would be run 30000 hours in the 5 years. The company ran the machine for 3900 actual hours in 2018.
Required:
1. If the company uses the units-of-activity method of depreciation, the amount of depreciation expense for 2018 would be ________.
A) $51090.
B) $41470.
C) $82940.
D) $74000.
Answer:
Annual depreciation= $41,470
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Purchasing price= $393,000
Salvage value= $74,000
The machine would be run 30000 hours in the 5 years. The company ran the machine for 3900 actual hours in 2018.
To calculate the depreciation expense using the units of activity method, we need to use the following formula on each year:
Annual depreciation= [(original cost - salvage value)/useful life of production in hours]*hours operated
Annual depreciation= [(393,000 - 74,000)/30,000]*3,900
Annual depreciation= $41,470

Answer:
Wainwright Corporation
ASSETS = Liabilities + Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings
1 . Assets (Cash) increase $30,000 = Liabilities + Paid-in Capital increase $30,000 + Retained Earnings
2 . Assets (Equipment) increase $40,000 and (Cash) decrease -$10,000 = Liabilities increase $30,000 + Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings
3 . Assets (Inventory) increase $90,000 = Liabilities (Notes Payable) increase $90,000 + Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings
4 . Assets (Inventory) decrease -$70,000 + (Accounts Receivable) increase $120,000 = Liabilities + Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings increase $50,000
5 . Assets (Cash) decrease -$5,000 + (Insurance Prepaid) increase $5,000= Liabilities + Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings
6 . Assets (Cash) decrease -$6,000 = Liabilities + Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings -$6,000
7. Assets (Cash) decrease -$70,000 = Liabilities (Accounts Payable) decrease -$70,000 = Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings
8 . Assets (Cash) increase $55,000 and decrease (Accounts Receivable) -$55,000 = Liabilities + Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings
9. Assets (Equipment) decrease -$1,000 = Liabilities + Paid-in Capital + Retained Earnings decrease -$1,000.
Explanation:
a) The accounting equation states that Assets are equal to Liabilities Plus Paid-in Capital Plus Retained Earnings. This equation is very important in accounting as it keeps the two sides of the balance sheet in balance. The equation shows that assets are funded by liabilities or equity or profits from operation.
b) When common stock is issued for cash, Assets increase and Paid-in Capital increase.
c) The purchase of equipment increases Assets by $40,000 and decreases Assets by $10,000 (for cash payment) and increases Liabilities by $30,000 as note payable.
d) Assets increase by $90,000 with inventory purchased on account and Liabilities (Accounts Receivable) increases by the same amount.
e) Payments for Rent for March will decrease Assets (Cash) and decrease Retained Earnings.
f) The Insurance cost of $6,000 paid in advance will decrease Assets (Cash) and increase Assets (Insurance Prepaid) without affecting the other side of the equation.
g) Depreciation expense also decreases Assets (Equipment) and decreases the Retained Earnings by $1,000 respectively.
Assumptions: These two graphs show two sectors of the labor market for a particular kind of labor. Relevant product markets are competitive. The two labor demand curves are identical. Initially the quantities of labor employed in the two sectors are L1 and L'1, and the wage rate in each sector is Wn. If a union is formed in sector 1 and the union increases the wage rate from Wn to Wu, then employment will Multiple Choice decrease, but we cannot determine by how much. decrease by 0L2 in sector 1. decrease by L1L2 in sector 1. increase by L1L2 in sector 1.
Answer:
Decrease by L1L2 in sector 1
Explanation:
Labour markets are at equilibrium when market demand for labour = market supply of labour.
Sector 1 previous equilibrium is 0L1, equilibrium wage is 0Wn (0 is origin). Union leads to increase in wage rate from 0Wn to 0Wu. This increase in wages lead to decrease in employment in sector 1. Supposing that the new equilibrium labour employed = 0L2, which is lesser than previous employment 0L1. So, the employment level falls by margin difference L1L2 in sector 1.
On July 31, 2020, Cullumber Company engaged Minsk Tooling Company to construct a special-purpose piece of factory machinery. Construction begun immediately and was completed on November 1, 2020. To help finance construction, on July 31 Cullumber issued a $324,000, 3-year, 12% note payable at Netherlands National Bank, on which interest is payable each July 31. $216,000 of the proceeds of the note was paid to Minsk on July 31. The remainder of the proceeds was temporarily invested in short-term marketable securities (trading securities) at 10% until November 1. On November 1, Cullumber made a final $108,000 payment to Minsk. Other than the note to Netherlands, Cullumber’s only outstanding liability at December 31, 2020, is a $29,500, 8%, 6-year note payable, dated January 1, 2017, on which interest is payable each December 31.Calculate the interest revenue, weighted-average accumulated expenditures, avoidable interest, and total interest cost to be capitalized during 2020.
Answer:
a. Interest revenue = $2,700
b. Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = $54,000
c. Avoidable interest = $6,480
d. Total interest cost to be capitalized = $6,480
Explanation:
The computation of interest revenue, weighted-average accumulated expenditures, avoidable interest, and total interest cost to be capitalized is shown below:-
a. Interest revenue = (Issued notes payable - Interest payable) × Short-term marketable securities × From 1 Aug to 31 Oct ÷ Total number of months in a year
= ($324,000 - $216,000) × 10% × 3 months ÷ 12
= $108,000 × 10% × 3 months ÷ 12
= $2,700
b. Weighted-average accumulated expenditures = Interest payable × Short-term marketable securities × From 1 Aug to 31 Oct ÷ Total number of months in a year
= $216,000 × 3 months ÷ 12
= $54,000
Here we will not consider 1 Nov because it contains 0 months so answer is $54,000
c. Avoidable interest = Weighted-average accumulated expenditures × Notes payable percentage
= $54,000 × 12%
= $6,480
d. Total interest cost to be capitalized = Weighted-average accumulated expenditures × Notes payable percentage
= $54,000 × 12%
= $6,480
We simply applied the above formulas
A and B Companies have been operating separately for five years. Each company has a minimal amount of liabilities and a simple capital structure consisting solely of voting common stock. In exchange for 40 percent of its voting stock, A Company acquires 80 percent of the common stock of B Company. This is a "tax-free" stock-for-stock exchange for tax purposes. B Company’s identifiable assets have a total net fair market value of $800,000 and a total net book value of $580,000. The fair market value of the A stock used in the exchange is $700,000, and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest is $175,000.
Required:
1. The goodwill reported following the acquisition would be _____________.
Answer:
$75,000
Explanation:
Goodwill is an intangible asset that equals the money paid in excess of fair market value for a company's assets, which includes the company's brand recognition, proprietor technology, clients, etc.
goodwill = fair market value of A stock used in the exchange + fair market value of the noncontrolling interest - fair market value of company B's assets = $700,000 + $175,000 - $800,000 = $75,000
The R&D division of Piqua Chemical Corp. has just developed a chemical for sterilizing the vicious Brazilian "killer bees" which are invading Mexico and the southern United States. The president of the company is anxious to get the chemical on the market to boost the company’s profits. He believes his job is in jeopardy because of decreasing sales and profits. The company has an opportunity to sell this chemical in Central American countries, where the laws are much more relaxed than in the United States. The director of Piqua’s R&D division strongly recommends further testing in the laboratory for side-effects of this chemical on other insects, birds, animals, plants, and even humans. He cautions the president, "We could be sued from all sides if the chemical has tragic side-effects that we didn’t even test for in the labs." The president answers, "We can’t wait an additional year for your lab tests. We can avoid losses from such lawsuits by establishing a separate wholly-owned corporation to shield Piqua Corp. from such lawsuits. We can’t lose any more than our investment in the new corporation, and we’ll invest in just the patent covering this chemical. We’ll reap the benefits if the chemical works and is safe, and avoid the losses from lawsuits if it’s a disaster." The following week, Piqua creates a new wholly-owned corporation called Finlay Inc., sells the chemical patent to it for $10, and watches the spraying begin.Instructions: 1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation? 2. Are the president's motives and actions ethical? 3. Can Piqua shield itself against losses of Finlay Inc.?
Answer:
(1)The primary stakeholders in this example are the shareholders of he company who have infused their money expecting it to be used for lawful objects as stated in the charter of the company, the secondary stakeholders can be the environment such as humans.
(2)President actions does not seem ethical, because he wants to save his own job at the expense of polluting the environment what can cause harm to humans, plants and animals.
(3) Since Finlay Inc. has no assets other than $ 10 in patent, it would be very hard to carry the huge losses should lawsuits be filed. In that event, there are going to be huge outflows of cash from the books of Piqua, and the stockholders would want to know why or the reason.
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
(1)The primary stakeholders in this case, are the shareholders of the company, who have infused their money expecting it to be used for lawful objects as stated in the charter of the company. The secondary stakeholder could be the environment comprising of the fauna,flora, and humans, as the spray can be a serious pollutant in the environment.
(2) The president's actions and reasons are does not seem ethical
Firstly, he wants to save his own job at the expense of polluting the environment, and possibly causing various harm to animals,plants, and even humans.
Secondly, he does not want to share the contingent liabilities that may occur with the stockholders, that may lead to erosion in shareholder value.
The third reason is,in order to keep these liabilities off the balance sheet of Piqua Chemical Corp., he has developed a SPV for carrying the losses from lawsuits.
Hence, there is no limpidity here, and he has committed a breach of trust. The president of the company, as the agent of the company and its stockholders stands in a relationship that is fiduciary, and should avoid conflict or issues of interest at all cost.
(3) At the end, it would be hard for Piqua to hide itself from the losses of Finlay Inc.
Since Finlay Inc. has no assets other than $ 10 in patent, how would it be possible to carry the huge losses should lawsuits be applied. In that case, there are going to be huge outflows of cash from the books of Piqua, and the stockholders would want to know the what caused it.
