Complete Question:

James Stilton is the chief executive officer (CEO) of RightLiving, Inc., a company that buys life insurance policies at a discount from terminally ill persons and sells the policies to investors. RightLiving pays the terminally ill patients a percentage of the future death benefit (usually 65%) and then sells the policies to investors for 85% of the value of the future benefit. The patients receive the cash to use for medical and other expenses, and the investors are "guaranteed" a positive return on their investment. The difference between the purchase and sale prices is RightLiving's profit.

Stilton is aware that some sick patients may obtain insurance policies through fraud (by not revealing their illness on the insurance application). An insurance company that discovers such fraud will cancel the policy and refuse to pay. Stilton believes that most of the policies he has purchased are legitimate, but he knows that some are probably not.

Requirement:

What are other ethical concerns that Stilton may be facing?

Answer with Explanation:

The ethical concerns of Stilton are as under:

  • Should he tell the investors about the fraud about the policies before making sales?
  • What policies must be implemented so that the legitimate people can easily sell the policies and if not implemented it would not be fair for the RightLiving, Inc.
  • Stilton will also be facing ethical concerns because the business wishes that the customer dies early so that they can benefit from increased deaths of policy holders.

Davidson international has 13,700 shares of stock outstanding at a price per share of $28. the firm has decided to repurchase 50
alexdok [17]

The shareholder equity is equal to:

$28/share * 13 700 shares = $ 383,600

This is the total capital of Davidson International. Now, assuming that there is no additional income since it is not implied in the problem, the total equity does not change. However, the shares become: 13,700 + 500 = 14 200 shares.

Price per share now becomes:

$383 600 / 14 200 shares = $27/share

stock that has a current price of $25.00, a beta of 1.25, and a dividend yield of 6%. If the Treasury bill yield is 5% and the m
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

$30.2067

Explanation:

From the given question, using the dividend discount model

V_0 = \dfrac{D_1}{r - g}

where:

r is the Expected return on stock and be calculated as:

Expected return on stock = Risk free rate + Beta × (Expected Market Return - Risk free rate)

Expected return on stock = 5% + 1.25 × (14% - 5%) = 16.25%

However, the current price in this process will b used as the dividend price for all future expenses.

Dividend Yield = Current Dividend/The Share Price

Current dividend D0 = 6% × $25.00 = $1.50

D₁ = D₀ × (1 + g)

D₁ = 1.5 × (1 + g)

Thus, we can now employ the use of the growth dividend model (constant) to determine the value of g as follows:

25 = \dfrac{1.5 \times (1 + g)}{0.1625 - g}

By cross multiply, we have:

4.0625 - 25g = 1.5 + 1.5g

collect like terms, we have:

4.0625 - 1.5 = 1.5g + 25g

2.5625 = 26.5g

Divide both sides by 26.5, we have:

2.5625/26.5 = 26.5g/26.5

g = 9.67%

Similarly, suppose the value for the second year-end to be Y₂;

Then the constant growth dividend model can be computed as:

Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}

where;

D₃ = D₂ × (1 + g)

D₂ × (1 + g) = D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)

D₁ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) = D₀ × (1 + g) × (1 + g) × (1 + g)  = D₀ × (1 + g) × 3

D₃ = 1.5 × (1 + 9.67%) × 3

D₃ = $1.9876

Finally:

Y_2 = \dfrac{D_3}{r - g}

Y_2 = \dfrac{1.9876}{0.1625 - 0.0967}

Y₂ = $30.2067

Space travel is expensive! For their trip to the Moon, the Apollo astronauts' living quarters were only 213 cubic feet (that's s
RSB [31]

Answer:

5341288

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Volume of the living quarters = 213 cubic feet

Now,

The dimensions of the US dollar bills are

width = 2.61 inches

Length = 6.14 inches

Thickness = 0.0043 inches

Thus,

Volume of a single dollar bill = 2.61 × 6.14 × 0.0043

= 0.06890922 cubic inches

Also,

Volume of quarter in cubic inches = 213 × 12³  

[ ∵ 1 ft = 12 inches  ; 1 ft³ = 12³ cubic inches]

Thus,

Volume of quarter in cubic inches = 368064 cubic inches.

Thus,

Number of dollar bills that can fit in there

= [ Volume of quarter in cubic inches ] ÷ Volume of a single dollar bill

= 368064 ÷ 0.06890922

= 5341288.15 ≈ 5341288
