Answer:
From this scandal, business leaders should learn to:
(a) not encourage unethical practices directly or indirectly among employees.
(b) not set unrealistic targets for employees to achieve within an unrealistic time-frame.
(c) Institute measures to prevent unethical practices.
(d) Encourage honest employees to grow in the company.

Wells Fargo could have done differently in these manner:
(a) When the first incident of aggressive sales practice was reported in year 2004 with identified incidents from year 2002, they could have instituted measures to prevent recurrence of such incidents. Some of the practical and workable measures are enumerated in succeeding paragraphs.
(b) Convene a meeting of senior managers to provide them with appropriate guidelines so as not to repeat such incidents.
(c) Instruct senior managers to advise their juniors to refrain from any such aggressive sales practices.
(d) Investigate to determine the extent of impact of aggressive sales practices as on 2004 and take remedial actions against those who are engaged in such activities.
(e) Promote the whistle-blower method of instantaneous reporting of an incident by anyone who has witnessed such an incident.
(f) Reward employees having honesty, integrity and moral values.
Practice of Ethical Leadership Questions
CEO John Stumpf’s model was to aggressively cross-sell products by any means. While leading the bank in doing so, he had compromised on the minimum value system that any financial institution or any company must adhere to. The cultural impact that had on Wells Fargo is listed below:
(a) Employees were pressurized for resorting to unethical practices.
(b) Employees reporting matters on unethical practices were punished.
(c) The performance management/ measurement system, in effect, encouraged dishonesty in employees.
(d) The compensation system was skewed in favor of bonus.
(e) Since, the supervisors pressurized employees, the structural dishonesty within the organization was evident.
Leaders can encourage ethical behavior in their organization in the following manner:
(a) Demonstrate personal ethics in their words and actions.
(b) Instruct senior managers to strictly adhere to the ethical norms to be followed.
(c) Instruct senior managers to communicate company’s ethical agenda to the supervisors/ other junior employees within their departments/ sections.(d) Monitor adherence to / violation of ethical practices on a regular basis.(e) Institute immediate remedial measures to prevent recurrence of any unethical practice.
(f) Encourage employees to report incidents of unethical practices.
(g) Reward honest and hardworking employees.
Well Fargo’s system of ensuring Ethical System within the bank, such as ethics hotline to report unethical behavior did not work because, the top management, led by the CEO did not pay any importance to prevention of unethical practices. Rather, they steered in an organized and structured manner to promote unethical practices.
Leaders can take the following steps to design systems that encourage ethical behavior:
(a) The top leaders must “think ethics”, “speak ethics” and “act ethics”. This is the top most fundamental step in the direction of designing systems to encourage ethical behavior.
(b) Matters on “what is ethical and what is not ethical” must be circulated across the organization.
(c) Periodic briefing must take place from the top management to the junior most employees in a structured and organized manner.
(d) Encouragement on reporting (whistle-blowing) incidents of unethical practices must be given.
(e) System of rewarding honest and hardworking employees must be put in place.
Rosewood Company made a loan of $16,000 to one of the company's employees on April 1, 2020. The one-year note carried a 6% rate of interest. Principal and interest will be paid at the end of the term of the loan. The amount of interest revenue that Rosewood would report in 2020 and 2021, would be?
Answer:
loan interest revenue for 2020 is $720
loan interest revenue for 2021 is $240
Explanation:
The loan interest revenue in the year 2020 is for 9 months out of the total loan tenure of twelve months:
interest revenue for 2020=$16,000*6%*9/12=$720.00
This would be debited to interest receivable and credited to interest revenue account.
interest revenue for 2021=$16,000*6%*3/12=$240.00
Answer:
The answer is $720 and $240
Explanation:
Solution
Recall that:
Rosewood company made a loan of =$16,000
One year note carried an interest of =6%
Now,
We solve for the amount of interest revenue that rosewood would report
Report is given below:
$16,000 * 6% * 9/12 = $720 Interest revenue in April to December, 2020
$16,000 * 6% * 3/12 = $240 interest revenue in January - March, 2021
Therefore the interest revenue for Rosewood report/feedback in 2020 and 2021 is $720 and $240 respectively.

Also the fixed costs of the ending units is deducted in absorption costing where it is not deducted in variable costing.
A registered investment adviser lives in State X. The adviser does business with 1 client in State A and 1 client in State B. The adviser gives seminars about investing to groups of potential customers in State C. The adviser is required to register in:
Answer:
State X and C
Explanation:
Remember, the clients themselves stay in state A and B, not the investment advisor. According to the requirements of the law, the investment advisor is to register in the state where he gives seminars–State C, and the state in which he resides–X.
Suppose subway ridership in New York City declined by 10 percent after a fare increase of 25 cents to $2.75. Using the midpoint method, an estimate of the price elasticity of demand for subway rides is . True or False: According to your estimate, the Transit Authority's revenue rises when the fare increases. True False
Answer: Elasticity is 1.05
False
Explanation:
The Price Elasticity of Demand which measures how demand for goods change in relation to a change in price is calculated by the following formula,
Elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity ÷ % change in Prices
The Midpoint method is a method of estimating price percentage change by dividing the change in price by the AVERAGE of the new price and the old price.
The average of the changes are,
= (2.75 + (2.75 - 0.25))/2
= (2.75 + 2.5)/2
= 2.625
The Midpoint method gives a chance in price of,
= (2.75 - 2.65 )/ 2.625
= 9.5%
The Elasticity is therefore,
= Elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity ÷ % change in Prices
= 10% / 9.5%
= 1.05
According to this, the Transit Authority's revenue will not rise when Fair increases because the Elasticity is quite close to 1. An elasticity of 1 means that when fares increase, people using trains decrease by almost the same amount so revenue remains the same.
Assume that apples cost $0.50 in 2002 and $1 in 2009, whereas oranges cost $1 in 2002 and $1.50 in 2009. If 4 apples were produced in 2002 and 5 in 2009, whereas 3 oranges were produced in 2002 and 5 in 2009, then the GDP deflator in 2009, using a base year of 2002, was approximately:________.
A) 1.5.
B) 1.7.
C) 1.9.
D) 2.0.
Answer:
B) 1.7
Explanation:
GDP deflator simply shows the occurring event of the level of prices in the economy which is why It is often the ratio of nominal GDP to real GDP.
GDP deflator in 2009 will be:
Norminal GDP
Cost of apple= $1 in 2009
Apple produced =5 in 2009
Cost of oranges= $1.50 in 2009.
Orange produce= 5 in 2009
$1.00*(5)+$1.50*(5)
=5+7.5
=$12.50
Real GDP
Cost of apple= $0.50 in 2002
Apple produced =5 in 2002
Cost of oranges= $1 in 2002
Orange produce= 5 in 2002
0.50*(5)+$1.00*(5)
=2.5+5
=$7.50
GDP deflator = Nominal GDP/Real GDP)
=$12.50/$7.50
=1.666
approximately 1.7

The absorption costing method includes all costs related to production, both fixed and variable. The unit product cost is calculated using direct material, direct labor, and total unitary manufacturing overhead.
The variable costing method incorporates all variable production costs (direct material, direct labor, and variable overhead).
1) Absorption costing method:
Unitary fixed overhead= 120,000/20,000= 6
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + total unitary overhead
Unit product cost= 15 + 15 + 3 + 6= 39
Variable costing:
Unit product cost= direct material + direct labor + variable overhead
Unit product cost= 33
2) Ending inventory:
Absorption costing= 6,000*39= $234,000
Variable costing= 6,000*33= $198,000
3) Cost of goods sold:
Absorption costing= 14,000*39= 546,000
Variable costing= 14,000*33= 462,000

The Holt fund has $500 million in assets, 80 million in debt and 15 million shares at the start of the year. At the end of the year, the fund has $600 million in assets, 40 million in debt and 16 million shares. During the year, investors received $0.80 in distributions per share. The total expense ratio is 0.4%, which is deducted at the end of the year. What is the rate of the return on the fund?
A. 38.54%
B. 27.32%
C. 35,14%
D. 25.81%
E. 34.79%
Answer:
B. 27.32%
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the Net asset value per share at the start and end of the year
NAV at the start of the year = ($500 million - $80 million) / 15 million shares = $28 per share
NAV at the end of the year = ($600 million - ( ($600 million x 0.004) + $40 million ) / 16 million shares = $34.85 per share
Return = (NAV at the end of the year - NAV at the start of the year + Distribution received) / NAV at the start of the year
Return = ( 34.85 - 28 + 0.8 ) / 28 = 0.2732 = 27.32%

Suppose that the U.S. government decides to charge wine consumers a tax. Before the tax, 25 million bottles of wine were sold every month at a price of $6 per bottle. After the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month; consumers pay $8 per bottle (including the tax), and producers receive $5 per bottle. The amount of the tax on a bottle of wine is_____________ $ per bottle. Of this amount, the burden that falls on consumers is_________ $ per bottle, and the burden that falls on producers is $___________ per bottle.?
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that before the tax, 25 million wine bottles were sold at price of $6 per bottle and that after the tax, 20 million bottles of wine are sold every month and the consumers pay $8 per bottle which include the tax and producers receive $5 per bottle.
The amount of tax on wine will be the difference between the price consumers pay after the tax and the price producers receive. This will be:
= $8 - $5
= $3 per bottle
The tax burden that falls on the consumers will be difference between price paid after tax and the price which is paid before the tax.
= $8 - $6
= $2 per bottle
The tax burden on the producers will be difference between price received before the tax and price received after the tax.
= $6 - $5
= $1 per bottle
Laser World reports net income of $620,000. Depreciation expense is $47,000, accounts receivable increases $11,000, and accounts payable decreases $27,000. Calculate net cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method. (List cash outflows and any decrease in cash as negative amounts.)
Answer:
$629,000
Explanation:
The net cash flow from operating activities is the net income plus depreciation, minus the increase in accounts receivable as well as the decrease in accounts payable.
Net income is $620,000
depreciaton expense $47,000
Increase in accounts receivable ($11,000)
decrease in accounts payable ($27,000)
Net cash flow from operations $629,000
The increase in accounts receivable denies the business of additional cash,hence it is deducted ,the same applies to increase in accounts payable

Net operating income $8,080 $8,030 $50 F
After several months of using such variance reports, the owner has become frustrated. For example. she is quite confident that instructor wages were very tightly controlled in July. but the report shows an unfavorable variance. The planning budget was developed using the following formulas, where q is the number of lessons sold:
Cost Formulas
Revenue $220 q
Instructor wages $65 q
Aircraft depreciation $38 q
Fuel $15 q
Maintenance $530 + $12 q
Ground facility expenses $1,250 + $2 q
Administration $3,240 + $1 q
Required:
1. Should the owner feel frustrated with the variance reports? Explain.
2. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the school for July.
3. Evaluate the school's performance for July.
Answer:
1. Should the owner feel frustrated with the variance reports?
Yes, because they were incomplete. Since the quantity of lessons is larger than the budgeted, you must prepare a flexible budget. The flexible budget shows that there exists a total unfavorable variance of $385. E.g. , regarding the pilots' salaries, there is a favorable variance in the flexible budget.
2. Prepare a flexible budget performance report for the school for July.
I used an excel spreadsheet to prepare a flexible budget and I attached it.
3. Evaluate the school's performance for July.
The school's performance is neither good or bad because it has higher revenues than estimated (even though it lowered its sales price), but their costs are also higher than budgeted. They are doing a good job at selling their lessons, but a bad job of keeping costs under control. The overall variance is not that significant, but it is still unfavorable. Their fuel expenses should be controlled since the largest unfavorable variance results from spending too much fuel.

The price of a European call option on a stock with a strike price of $50 is $6. The stock price is $51, the continuously compounded risk-free rate (all maturities) is 6% and the time to maturity is one year. A dividend of $1 is expected in six months. What is the price of a one-year European put option on the stock with a strike price of $50?
Answer:
$3.06
Explanation:
The put call parity shows the relationship between the price of European put options and European call options of the same strike price and expiry date.
Given that:
Strike price (K) = $50
Price (C) = $6
rate (r) = 6% = 0.06
Stock price (SO) = $51
Time (T) = 1 year
Dividend (D) = $1
The period of dividend (t) = 6 months = 0.5 years
The put call parity (P) is given by the equation:
[tex]P+SO=C+Ke^{-rT}\\P=C+Ke^{-rT}-SO[/tex]
The dividend present value = [tex]De^{-rt}=1e^{-0.06*0.5}=\$0.97[/tex]
[tex]P=C+Ke^{-rT}-SO\\P=6+50e^{-0.06*1}-(51-0.97)\\P=6+47.088-50.03\\P=\$3.06[/tex]

Answer:
Police power.
Explanation:
This form of power is sternly found in the law of the united states of america. It was been arranged and strongly enforced in the tenth amendment of the constitution. This law is said to be carried out by the higher authorities or state to protect and enforce order within their range for benefit of the environment, people and inhabitants.
And it is generally known that the states/authorities can possibly come all out to enforce this law no matter how hard they seem to come against the individual, provided his/her humans rights are not been tampered.

A firm is about to undertake the manufacture of a product, and is weighing the process configuration options. There are two intermittent processes under consideration, as well as a repetitive focus. The smaller intermittent process has fixed costs of $3,000 per month, and variable costs of $10 per unit. The larger intermittent process has fixed costs of $12,000 and variable costs of $2 per unit. A repetitive focus plant has fixed costs of $50,000 and variable costs of $1 per unit.a. At what output does the large intermittent process become cheaper than the small one?b. At what output does the repetitive process become cheaper than the larger intermittent process?
Answer:
A.$1,125
B.$38,000
Explanation:
Using this formula:
Fixed Cost of Process B- Fixed Cost of Process A ÷Unit Variable cost of Process A – Unit Variable Cost of Process B
a.
Where:
Fixed Cost =$12,000
Fixed Cost =$3,000
Unit Variable =10
Unit Variable =2
Hence:
(12,000-3,000)/ (10-2)
=$9,000/8
= $1,125
This means that large intermittent process become cheaper than the small one by $1,125
b.
Fixed Cost =$50,000
Fixed Cost =$12,000
Unit Variable =2
Unit Variable =1
(50,000-12,000)/ (2-1)
=$38,000/1
= 38,000
This means that repetitive process become cheaper than the larger intermittent process by $38,000
Arthur sustained an injury to his back. Arthur claimed the injury was suffered at work and filed a claim for workers' compensation benefits. The employer opposed this claim, saying the injury, if real, was the result of a congenital condition. In accordance with the statute, a hearing was held before the Workers' Compensation Board, which ruled against Arthur. Arthur became disgusted with the hearing officer and the proceedings because Arthur felt that the hearing officer did not like him. Arthur has consulted an attorney seeking to sue for workers' compensation benefits. An appeal is available within the agency, but Arthur wants to go directly to court because he feels that the agency appeal would be useless. Discuss the merits of this strategy.
Answer: Arthur can't bring a lawsuit to help overturn the ruling of the Worker’s Compensation Board,
Explanation:
From the question, Arthur got a back injury and Arthur claimed that the injury was suffered at work and therefore filed a claim for workers compensation benefits while the employer opposed this claim, by saying that the injury was due to a congenital condition.
A hearing was held before the Workers' Compensation Board, and the board ruled against Arthur. Arthur became disgusted and wants to go directly to the court because as he feels an agency isn't worth it.
The merits of this strategy are that
Arthur can't bring a lawsuit in order to help overturn the findings the Worker’s Compensation Board made, because Arthur failed to exhaust the available administrative remedies he had. Therefore, the lawsuit will not be successful and would therefore not be heard by the courts.
Bond A pays $8,000 in 20 years. Bond B pays $8,000 in 10 years. (To keep things simple, assume these are zero-coupon bonds, which means the $8,000 is the only payment the bondholder receives.)
Suppose the interest rate is 7 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately_______ , and the value of Bond B is approximately_______ .
Now suppose the interest rate increases to 14 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately_________ , and the value of Bond B is approximately________ . Comparing each bond's value at 7 percent versus 14 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a_______ percentage than Bond B's value. The value of a bond__________ when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are _________sensitive to changes in the interest rate.
Answer:
To find the value of bond, let's use the formula:
Value of bond = price of bond / (1 + interest rate)ⁿ
Here n represents number of years.
At 7% interest rate:
Value of bond A = [tex]\frac{8000}{(1+0.07)^2^0} = 2067.35[/tex]
Value of bond B = [tex]\frac{8000}{(1+0.07)^1^0} = 4066.79[/tex]
At 14% interest rate:
Value of bond A = [tex] = \frac{8000}{(1+0.14)^20} = 582.09 [/tex]
Value of bond B = [tex] = \frac{8000}{(1+0.14)^10} = 2157.95 [/tex]
The difference between bond A at 7% and 14%:
$582.09 - $2067.35 = -$1485.26
The difference between bond B at 7% and 14%:
$2157.95 - $4066.79 = -$1908.84
% decrease between bond A and B:
[tex] \frac{1908.84 - 1485.26}{1908.84} * 100 = 22.19 [/tex]
Therefore, from the above calculations, we have the following:
Suppose the interest rate is 7%, Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is approximately $2067.35, and the value of Bond B is approximately $4066.79 .
Now suppose the interest rate increases to 14 percent.
Using the rule of 70, the value of Bond A is now approximately $528.09 , and the value of Bond B is approximately $2157.95 .
Comparing each bond's value at 7 percent versus 14 percent, Bond A's value decreases by a 22.19 percentage than Bond B's value.
The value of a bond decreases when the interest rate increases, and bonds with a longer time to maturity are more sensitive to changes in the interest rate.

The Converting Department of Osaka Napkin Company uses the average cost method and had 2,000 units in work in process that were 60% complete at the beginning of the period. During the period, 25,200 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,100 units in process that were 30% complete at the end of the period.
a. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period.
b. Determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period.
Answer:
Equivalent Units
Material cost = 26,560
Conversion Cost= 25,540
Explanation:
We would assume the company uses weighted average method of valuation.
Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.
Equivalent units = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units
Material cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 100%× 1,360 1360
Total equivalent units 26,560
Conversion Cost
Item Unit Equivalent unit
Completed 25,200 100% ×25200 = 25,200
Closing WIP 1,360 25%× 1,360 340
Total equivalent units
The Converting Department of Osaka Napkin Company uses the average cost method and had 2,000 units in work in process that were 60% complete at the beginning of the period.
A. To determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period, let's calculate the total equivalent units of production.
Whole units at the beginning of the period = 2,000 unit
Units started and completed during the period = 25,200 units
Whole units in process at the end of the period = 1,100 units
Total whole units to be accounted for:
= Whole units at the beginning + Units started and completed during the period + Whole units in process at the end
= 2,000 units + 25,200 units + 1,100 units
= 28,300 units
B. To determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period, we need to consider the percentage of completion for the units in process at the beginning and the units in process at the end.
Equivalent units of production for units in process at the beginning:
= Whole units at the beginning × Percentage of completion at the beginning
= 2,000 units × 60%
= 1,200 equivalent units
Equivalent units of production for units in process at the end:
= Whole units in process at the end × Percentage of completion at the end
= 1,100 units × 30%
= 330 equivalent units
Total equivalent units of production for the period:
= Equivalent units of production for units in process at the beginning + Equivalent units of production for units in process at the end + Units started and completed during the period
= 1,200 equivalent units + 330 equivalent units + 25,200 units
= 26,730 equivalent units
Therefore, the number of equivalent units of production for the period is 26,730 units.

Suppose the income elasticity of demand is -0.5 for good X. This implies that a 5% decrease in income will cause the quantity demanded of good X to a. increase by 2.5%, and X is an inferior good. b. decrease by 2.5% and X is a normal good. c. increase by 10% and X is an inferior good. d. decrease by 10% and X is a normal good.
Answer:
a. increase by 2.5%, and X is an inferior good.
Explanation:
The income elasticity of demand is the ratio between the percentage change in demand and the percentage change in income.
The change in demand caused by a 5% decrease in income is:
[tex]-0.5=\frac{\%\ change\ demand}{\%\ change\ income} \\-0.5=\frac{D}{-5\%} \\D=+2.5\%[/tex]
Demand will increase by 2.5%. A good whose demand increases when consumer income decreases is called an inferior good.
Therefore, the answer is a. increase by 2.5%, and X is an inferior good.

Acme Products manufactures and markets a product called Grow Tall. Acme claims in its advertising that Grow Tall will make its users grow a minimum of six inches taller than their current height. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will likely find that the ad is
Answer: a. deceptive, and the FTC may issue a cease-and-desist order.
Explanation:
A product that can increase human height by 6 inches sounds highly improbable and so is deceptive to people.
The Federal Trade Commission in it's role as a protector of Consumers from.unfair and deceitful practices in Commerce can act against Acme to stop them from deceiving the consumer.
One of the ways that the FTC can do this is by issuing a Cease and Desist order to Acme and if they fail to do so, can then take them to Court.
