D) an ethical opportunity to move the distribution center to your hometown.
E) a conflict of interest.
Answer:
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.

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. Those kids don't have any discipline, and they're still stewing over the loss of last week's football game." Police, however, say that they currently have no suspects.

Until 2002 public accounting firms were self-regulated. Beginning in 2002, public accounting firms auditing SEC registrants became subject to the oversight of which entities?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.
Until 2002 public accounting firms were self-regulated. Beginning in 2002, public accounting firms auditing SEC registrants became subject to the oversight of the following entity: the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, also known as PCAOB.
This organization was formed on July 30, 2002, after US Congress passed the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which became an investor protection Act, generating accountability and transparency when auditing companies after the corruption issues that happened at that time.
US Security and Exchange Commission oversees and has to approve any actions and changes of PCAOB when auditing companies or broker-dealers to present accurate, clear, and transparent reports.

Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 105,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 11.4 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 70,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 13.4 cents per kilometer.(The Singapore dollar is the currency used in Singapore.)
Requirement 1:
Using the high-low method, estimate the variable and fixed cost elements of the annual cost of the truck operation. (Round the variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Variable cost per kilometer $
Fixed cost per year $
Requirement 2:
Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. (Round the variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Y = $ + $ X
Requirement 3:
If a truck were driven 80,000 kilometers during a year, what total cost would you expect to be incurred? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
Total annual cost $
Work done so far:
HIGH :11.4 * 105,000 = 1,197,000
LOW: 13.4 * 70,000 = 938,000
Total Variable cost = 105,000 * 7.4 = 777,000
Fixed cost = 1,197,000 - 777,000 = 420,000
Answer:
1. $0.074 km
2. Total cost = $4,200 + 0.074x
3. $10,120
Explanation:
The computation of the fixed cost and the variable cost per hour using high and low method is seen below
Variable cost per hour = (High operating cost - Low operating cost) ÷ (High driven in kilometers - Low driven in kilometers),
Where,
High operating cost = 105,000 km × 11.4%
= $11,970
Low operating cost = 70,000 km × 13.4%
= $9,380
Hence,
= ($11,970 - $9,380) ÷ (105,000 km - 70,000 km)
= $2,590 ÷ 35,000 km
= $0.074 per km
Now, the fixed cost equal to
= High operating cost - (High driven in kilometers × Variable cost per km)
= $11,970 - (105,000 km × $0.074 )
= $11,970 - $7,770
= $4,200
2. The equation is as seen below;
Y = a + bx
Therefore,
Total cost = $4,200 + 0.074x
3. Y = a + bx
= $4,200 + 0.074 × 80,000
= $4,200 + $5,920
= $10,120
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%

Marshall Gordon, who works for a large chair manufacturing corporation, has unique insight and design skills that enable him to design the best chairs on the market. However, his coworkers do not enjoy working with him. In fact, they will often leave the company to avoid him. Now, two top designers have demanded that management do something about Marshall or they will resign.
Questions:
If you were a top leader, how would you respond to the ultimatum? Be specific. Explain why. What is Marshall missing with respect to his leadership abilities? How do you explain his poor leadership behavior? If you were Marshall’s manager, how might you increase Marshall’s awareness of the negative impact he is having on his team? How would you guide him toward better team leadership, sharing his knowledge with others, and mentoring his team members?
Explanation:
This is a complex issue that may reflect on the organizational culture of that company. As a leader, it is necessary to understand the situation and listen to both parties in order to find a favorable solution for the company and the employees. Since Marshall's work is important to the company, firing him at first may not be a favorable decision, what the leader can do is provide feedback to him about his interpersonal relationship at the company.
As an effective leader, it is necessary to constantly monitor the work and the relationship between employees, in which case it is necessary to understand the reason for Marshall's behavior and try to change the parameters and procedures that may be facilitating this behavior. It is necessary for him to understand that despite being an effective worker, the company is an integrated system that must be in perfect synchronicity for it to be successful in the market.
What the leader could do in this case then is to try to change the code of organizational ethics, seek training and psychological assistance for Marshall if necessary, talk to the workers who are part of the conflict to understand the situation in the best way, to seek a work redesign. , etc.

6. You have just sold your house for $1,000,000 in cash. Your mortgage was originally a 30-year mortgage with monthly payments and an initial balance of $800,000. The mortgage is currently exactly 181/2 years old, and you have just made a payment. If the interest rate on the mortgage is 5.25% (APR), how much cash will you have from the sale once you pay off the mortgage? (Answer: $543,069)
Answer:
$543,069
Explanation:
The starting point of this analysis is to determine the monthly payment under the mortgage using excel pmt function as shown below:
=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)
rate=monthly interest rate=5.25% /12
nper=number of monthly payments in 30 years=30*12=360 months
pv=mortgage amount=-800000
fv=0(the balance after all month payments is zero)
=pmt(5.25% /12,360,-800000,0)=$4,417.63
Number of month payments already made=18.5*12=222
Number of monthly payments outstanding=360-222=138
The balance of the mortgage now is the present of remaining mortgage payments
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
rate=5.25% /12
nper=138
pmt=4417.63
fv=0
=-pv(5.25% /12,138,4417.63,0)
pv=$456,931
Cash balance=cash proceeds from sale of house-outstanding mortgage balance
Cash balance=$1,000,000-$456,931=$543,069
