Answer:
D) He wants us to learn that having Him at the center of our lives will always be the best for us no matter how big or small the decisions we must face.
Explanation:
The article exposes that dehumanization is part of the world we're living in today. Marguerite Shuster argues that the world we're living in today is Genesis 3 world.
What's wrong with this world? "As the story goes, Chesterton responded with just two words: "I am." His answer is unlikely to be popular with a generation schooled to cultivate self-esteem, to pursue its passions and chase self-fulfillment first and foremost."
Then Shuster's invitation is to recenter our lives at Him.

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.
Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Sales = $ 2,000.00
Costs = 1,400.00
Depreciation = 250.00
EBIT = $ 350.00
Interest expense = 70.00
EBT = $280.00
Taxes (25%) = 112.00
Net income = $168.00
Net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT):
= EBIT × (1 - tax rate)
= $350 × (1 - 25%)
= $350 × 0.75
= $262.50
Therefore, the net operating profit after taxes (NOPAT) is $262.5.
Answer:
Increasing the promotional budget for a product in order to increase awareness is not advisable in the short run under which of the following circumstances?
Production capacity is maxed out (200% plant utilization) and the company is stocking out of the product.
Explanation:
Since the production capacity has been exceeded and the company is still running out of stock of the product, there will be no need to increase the promotional budget for the product in order to increase awareness, especially in the short-run. The implication of the scenario is that the demand for the product is far outstripping the supply and there is an apparent scarcity or shortage of the entity's product in the marketplace. Until production the capacity has been expanded, the promotional budget for product awareness can be stopped and saved.
Answer:
(a) $35,000
(b) $8,000
Explanation:
(a) Accounting profit:
= Total revenue - Explicit cost
= $75,000 - (wages + Annual rent + Material cost)
= $75,000 - ($13,000 + $5,500 + $21,500)
= $75,000 - $40,000
= $35,000
(b) Economic Profit:
= Total revenue - Explicit costs - Implicit costs
= $75,000 - (wages + Annual rent + Material cost) - (Income from investment + Earnings as a potter + Worth of entrepreneurial talents)
= $75,000 - ($13,000 + $5,500 + $21,500) - ($5,500 + $19,000 + $2,500)
= $75,000 - $40,000 - $27,000
= $8,000
