Ben is assigned by his employer to improve an ultrasonic range-finding device. While working on the improvement, he recognizes t

hat a novel modification of the equipment might be applicable to military submarines, which, if successful, could be worth a lot of money to his employer. However, Ben is a pacifist, a person who opposes war of any kind, and does not want to be involved in military work. He does not develop the idea himself or mention it to anybody else in the company. He has signed an agreement that all inventions he produces on the job are the property of the company but does not believe the agreement is relevant to this situation. If Ben decides whether the potential military application would be used for offensive aims, or only used for defensive purposes, his issue is primarily:

Answer:

1. He has not developed the idea yet

2. His employer knows he his a pacifist so he has the delima is he ethically correct to not develop a product that can be used for warfare.

Explanation:

In this scenario Ben signed an agreement with his employer that all ideas he has developed on the job and while working with the company is a property of the company.

This is a common agreement that gives a company property rights over work developed by their employees.

However since Ben is a pacifist he has an ethical dilemma when he has an idea that can weaponize an ultrasonic range-finding device.

He is justifying his decision by saying the idea has not been developed yet and his employer will not expect him to develop such technology since he is a pacifist.

If the demand increases by 100%, annual production will have to increase to jaw-breakers next year to meet the expected increase
aleksklad [387]
<span>If demand increases by 100% in one year, gummy land has two options. First, they could increase their staff and production hours to meet the increased demand. Second, if demand is increased by 100%, gummy land needs to take a look at a supply and demand chart and decide if increasing the price may slow demand by a little bit but will still increase profits. They need to look at an equilibrium price and decide which of the two options makes the most sense economically. If their demand increased by such a large number, it would be reasonable to assume that their demand would not decrease significantly with a slight increase in price.</span>

Consider an 8% coupon bond selling for $953.10 with three years until maturity making annual coupon payments. the interest rates
Andreyy89

Answer:

a) YTM = 9.8%

b) realized compound yield is 9.9%

Explanation:

a) PMT = 80

par value FV = 1000

coupon rate = 8%

curent price PV = 953.1

years to maturity n = 3

Yield to maturity (YTM) = \frac{PMT+(FV-PV)/n}{(FV+PV)/2} = \frac{80+(1000-953.1)/3}{(1000+953.1)/2}= 9.8%

b) r2 = 10% = 100%+10%=1.1

r3 = 12% = 100%+12%=1.12

Realized compound yield:First, find the future value (FV. of reinvested coupons and principal

FV =  ($80 *1.10 *1.12) + ($80 * 1.12) + $1080 = $1268.16

let a be the rate that makes the future value $1268.16

953.1(1+y)³ =$1268.16

(1+y)³=1.33

1+y=1.099

y = 0.099 = 9.9%
