This could create for you:________.
E) a conflict of interest.
Explanation:
The conflict of interest will occur when, as the executive vice president for Cooper Tire, you decide to buy the land for your company from your own acres of land. It means that your personal interests (or family, friendships, financial, or other social factors) are being served, perhaps at the detriment of your employer's. In this situation, it is likely that you could compromise your judgment, decisions, or actions in the workplace by going ahead to acquire this land for your company because you want to serve your personal and community interests. However, you can avoid the conflict by clearly stating your positions to your company and allow other management staff to make the needed decision with regards to your land.

During 2018, Raines Umbrella Corp. had sales of $810,000. Cost of goods sold, administrative and selling expenses, and depreciation expenses were $580,000, $90,000, and $135,000, respectively. In addition, the company had an interest expense of $91,000 and a tax rate of 21 percent. (Ignore any tax loss carryforward provisions and assume interest expense is fully deductible.) Suppose the company paid out $55,000 in cash dividends. If net capital spending and net working capital was zero, and if no new stock was issued during the year, what is the net new long-term debt
Answer:
$6,000
Explanation:
The computation of the net new long term debt is as follows:
But before that following calculations to be done:
Sales $810,000
Less: COGS ($580,000)
Less: S&A Expenses ($90,000)
Less: Depreciation ($135,000)
EBIT $5,000
Less: Interest ($91,000)
Taxable Income ($86,000)
Less: Taxes(21%) $0
Net Income(loss) ($86,000)
Now
OCF = EBIT + Depreciation - Taxes
= $5,000 + $135,000 - $0
= $140,000
Change in NWC = Net capital spending = Net new equity = 0
Cash flow from assets = OCF - Change in NWC - Net capital spending
= $140,000 - $0 - $0
= $140,000
Cash flow to stockholders = Dividends - Net New Equity
= $55,000 - $0
= $55,000
Cash flow to creditors = Cash flow from assets - Cash flow to stockholders
= $140,000 - $55,000
= $85,000
Cash flow to creditors = Interest - Net new LTD
$85,000 = $91,000 - Net new LTD
So,
Net new LTD is
= $91,000 - $85,000
= $6,000

Calculate equivalent units using the weighted-average and FIFO methods.
Answer:
Weighted Average : Materials = 1,100 units, Conversion Costs = 920 units
FIFO : Materials = 1,100 units, Conversion Costs = 1,260 units
Explanation:
Weighted Average
Materials
Ending Work In Process (300 ×100 %) = 300 units
Completed and Transferred (800 ×100 %) = 800 units
Equivalent units in respect to materials = 1,100 units
Conversion Costs
Ending Work In Process (300 ×40 %) = 120 units
Completed and Transferred (800 ×100 %) = 800 units
Equivalent units in respect to conversion costs = 920 units
FIFO
Materials
To finish Opening Work in Process (200 × 0%) = 0 units
Started and Completed (800 × 100%) = 800 units
Ending Work in Process (300 × 100%) = 300 units
Equivalent units in respect to materials =1,100 units
Conversion Costs
To finish Opening Work in Process (200 × 80%) = 160 units
Started and Completed (800 × 100%) = 800 units
Ending Work in Process (300 × 40%) = 300 units
Equivalent units in respect to materials =1,260 units
Give an example of one good or service produced in the United States using the command model. Justify your example using research (where did you find this).
Answer:
An example of production under the command system in the United States is that of the production of roads and passable roads throughout the nation. In this case, it is the production of a public service, and as such it is controlled by the government in all stages of its production: from the identification of the need, through the tender, the construction authorization and the supervision of the results, everything is controlled by the government. This implies that individuals or private companies cannot by their own initiative create this type of road, but rather depend exclusively on the will of the government.

Candice is a jewelry shop owner, specializing in beaded necklaces. For each of the following inputs, classify each item as a variable input or a fixed input in the long run.
1. upper management salaries
2. hourly labor
3. shipping
4. two-year lease on office and retail space
5. chairs
6. computers
7. beads
Answer and Explanation:
The classification of the each item as a variable input or fixed input is as follows:
1. upper management salaries = variable input
2. hourly labor = variable input
3. shipping = variable input
4. two-year lease on office and retail space = variable input
5. chairs = variable input
6. computers = variable input
7. beads = variable input
As all the items are calculated as a variable so no fixed input would be considered
Warner Clothing is considering the introduction of a new baseball cap for sales by local vendors. The company has collected the following price and cost characteristics.
Sales price $15 per unit
Variable costs 5 per unit
Fixed costs 50,000 per month
Required:
a. What number must Warner sell per month to break even?
b. What number must Warner sell per month to make an operating profit of $34,000 and $8,400. Assume that the company plans to sell 9,000 units per month. Consider requirements (b), (c), and (d) independently of each other.
c. What will be the operating profit?
d. What is the impact on operating profit if the sales price decreases by 10 percent? Increases by 20 percent?
Answer:
a. 5,000 units
b. 8,400 units and 5,840 units
c. $40,000
d. decrease of operating profit by 22.50 % and increase of operating profit by 45.00%
Explanation:
Breakeven point is level at which a firm makes neither profit nor loss
Break even units = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
Break even units = 5,000 units
Units to achieve target profit = Target Profit + Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
Units to achieve profit of $34,000 = 8,400 units
Units to achieve profit of $8,400 = 5,840 units
Operating Profit = Contribution - Fixed Costs
= $40,000
The effect on change of operating profit can be best shown by calculation of the Degree of Operating Leverage (DOL)
DOL = Contribution ÷ Profit
= 2.25
Sales decreases of 10 percent = decrease of operating profit by 22.50 % (10 % × 2.25)
Sales Increases of 20 percent = increase of operating profit by 45.00% (20%× 2.25)

A stock sells for $10 per share. You purchase 100 shares for $10 a share (i.e., for $1,000), and after a year the price rises to $17.50. What will be the percentage return on your investment if you bought the stock on margin and the margin requirement was
(a) 25 percent,
(b) 50 percent, and
(c) 75 percent? (Ignore commissions, dividends, and interest expense.)
Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below;
a. Rate of return
= (Selling price - purchase price) ÷ (purchase price × margin)
= ($17.50 - $10) ÷ ($10 × 25%)
= $7.50 ÷ 2.50
= 300%
b. Rate of return
= (Selling price - purchase price) ÷ (purchase price × margin)
= ($17.50 - $10) ÷ ($10 × 50%)
= $7.50 ÷ 5
= 150%
c. Rate of return
= (Selling price - purchase price) ÷ (purchase price × margin)
= ($17.50 - $10) ÷ ($10 × 75%)
= $7.50 ÷ 7.50
= 100%

Smashed Pumpkins Co. paid $160 in dividends and $589 in interest over the past year. The company increased retained earnings by $492 and had accounts payable of $630. Sales for the year were $16,370 and depreciation was $732. The tax rate was 40 percent. What was the company's EBIT
Answer: $1675.67
Explanation:
Based on the information given in the question, the company's EBIT would be calculated as:
Earnings After Tax will be:
= Retained Earnings + Dividends
= 492 + 160
= 652
Earnings Before Tax will be:
= EAT / (1 - tax rate)
= 652 / (1 - 40%)
= 652 / (1 - 0.40)
= 652/0.60
= 1086.67
EBIT would then be calculated as:
= EBT + Interest
= 1086.67 + 589
= 1675.67
An internal study by the Technology Services department at Lahey Electronics revealed company employees receive an average of two emails per hour. Assume the arrival of these emails is approximated by the Poisson distribution.
a. What is the probability Linda Lahey, company president, received exactly 1 email between 4 P.M. and 5 P.M. yesterday?
b. What is the probability she received 5 or more emails during the same period?
c. What is the probability she did not receive any emails during the period?
Answer:
0.2706 ; 0.05265 ; 0.1353
Explanation:
Given that :
λ = 2
According to the poisson distribution formula :
P(x = x) = (λ^x * e^-λ) / x!
P(x = 1) = (2^1 *e^-2) / 1!
P(x = 1) = (2 * 0.1353352) = 0.2706
P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x < 5)
1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - [p(x = 0) + p(x = 1) + p(x = 2) + p(x = 3) + p(x = 4)]
We obtain and add the individual probabilities. To save computation time, we can use a poisson distribution calculator :
1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - (0.13534+0.27067+0.27067+0.18045+0.09022)
1 - P(x < 5) = 1 - 0.94735 = 0.05265
P(x ≥ 5) = 1 - P(x < 5) = 0.05265
Probability that no emails was received :
x = 0
P(x = 0) = (2^0 *e^-2) / 0!
P(x = 0) = (1 * 0.1353352) / 1 = 0.1353

On the morning of July 15, 2006, fourteen school buses were vandalized. The buses, property of Walt Whitman Middle School, were parked in the "bus barn" on campus. The vandals spray-painted the buses with pictures of dogs. Dogs happen to be the mascot of rival school Edgar Allan Poe Academy. This has led some to believe that some students from EAPA may be the culprits in the incident. Says the mother of one Walt Whitman student, "Oh, yeah, the [Edgar Allan] Poe [Academy] kids are definitely responsible.

As you learned more and more about the complexity of the HRM role, what do you view as the most challenging aspect of HRM in the international context? How do you view the impact of expatriates on your role in HRM?
Answer:
The interpretation including its question would be characterized in the explanatory segment elsewhere here.
Explanation:
(a)
The cultural divide is perhaps the most compelling as that of the complexities of corporation dramatically change in something like a foreign environment. Besides example, a thumbs-up gesture, which would be a complimentary sign throughout the West as well as the US, seems to have a different meaning in several other cultural groups and therefore is construed as bad-mannered throughout Asian countries like Thailand, whereby the significance has been less than that of trying to stick someone's hard to both the West.(b)
The negative effect of ex-pats mostly on the position of HRM would be that individuals start making the importance of HRM so much enlightening. The HR seems to be essential for safeguarding expatriates and then for the HR to safeguard foreign nationals, this should understand the ways of foreign residents such that the HR could even start educating other staff mostly on cultural values of migrants.what do Librarians need to do after they have jobs?
