What are the arguments for and against the concept of corporate social responsibility? Where do you stand, and why? Give your opinions, specifically, with respect to the text examples.

Answers

Answer 1
The common arguments that are in favor of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are:
Public image of the company.
Moral Justification.
Public Support for business.
Long run survival of the organization and the public both.
Common arguments that go against CSR are:
Ambiguity in business policies.
Moral Responsibility.
Shareholders' rights
Explanation:
Against
The public should perceive the company as their savior and not their enemy. CSR helps a company stay in the good books of the public. If a cigarette manufacturing company opens a profit free farm or a recreational park for the public, it will ensure the maintenance of a positive image.
Morally, when a company takes something from the public e.g their clean air, or clean environment, then morally the company is bound to give something in return e.g a water filtration plant.
CSR can lead the public to support the company during times of need. A company during tough times might get several volunteers if it is known to have given much to the public.
Co-dependence is essential for the survival of both the organization and the public. Companies excel if the public likes them. If a company has been known to have only take and never give, then the balance is disturbed.
Against:
Not every company has the resources or interest to focus on one problem. Therefore, ambiguous policies of different organizations lead to partial working on one social issue or environmental issue. it leads the problem to be partially solved and not completely eliminated.
Company might morally owe the public in some domain but might not have the resources to fix that particular problem. It may leave the company in a moral debt. In order to compensate, a company may go beyond its capabilities which will not result in mutual benefit. Only one party will be happy.
CSR activities require resources. A company has several stakeholders and all might nit agree to spending/donating their profits for CSR activities. This may sound 'selfish' but public doesn't always know what the stakeholders are going through. CSR in such a case may deprive a stakeholder from a fraction of his share of profit.

GDP calculated using the expenditure approach = Consumption spending by households + Investment spending by businesses + Government spending + Net export

Net export = exports – imports

When exports exceed import there is a trade deficit and when import exceeds import, there is a trade surplus.  

Items not included in the calculation off GDP includes:  

1. services not rendered to oneself

2. Activities not reported to the government  

3. illegal activities

4. sale or purchase of used products

5. sale or purchase of intermediate products

The accountant's work would be included in 2019's GDP

The chocolate purchase would be included in GDP as part of consumption expenditure

Tire is an intermediate good in this question and would not be included in GDP

The purchase of the shoe from Vietnam would have no effect on GDP because it decreases net export

Magazine sells subscriptions for $60 for 30 issues. The company collects cash in advance and then mails out the magazines to subscribers each month. Apply the revenue recognition principle to determine a. when Seacoast Magazine should record revenue for this situation. b. the amount of revenue Seacoast Magazine should record for five issues.

Answers

Answer:

a. Revenue is earned when when service or product are delivered to client. Thus Seacoast Magazine should recognize the revenue when it mails the magazines to its subscribers.

b. Total amount received is $60 for 30 issues.

Amount for 1 issues = Total cost / Number of issues of magazines = $60/30 = $2 per issue

Amount of 5 issues = $2 * 5 = $10

Therefore, Seacoast Magazine should record revenue $10 for 5 issues.

Material cost

$156,000

Add:

Variable conversion cost used

$78,000

Add:

Fixed manufacturing cost

$702,000

Total manufacturing cost

$936,000

Unit product cost

= Total manufacturing cost / Units produced

= $936,000/7,800

= $120

Ending inventory in unit produced

= Units produced - Units sold

= 7,800 - 5,500

= 2,300 units

Ending inventory under absorption costing

= 2,300 units × $120

= $276,000

Starbucks opened its first store in Seoul, Korea in October 2002. The price of a tall vanilla latte is 3,000 Korean Won. In New York City, the price of a tall vanilla latte is $3.00. The exchange rate between Korean Won and U.S. dollars is Won 1,150/$. According to purchasing power parity, is the Korean Won overvalued or undervalued

Answers

Answer:

The Korean Won is undervalued

Explanation:

The Korean Won is undervalued if we determine this measure by comparing the prices of the vanilla latte at a Korean Starbucks and at an American Starbucks.

If purchasing power parity was perfectly equal, the latte at the Seoul Starbucks would be priced at $3,450, because the exchange rate is 1,150/$ and $3 x 1,1150 = 3,450, $3 being the price of the latte in New York City.

We can see that the latte in Seoul only costs 3,000 Won, so, under this comparison, the Won is undervalued by 450 Won.

(b) The citizens of this country are in general very clever people, but they are not good at multiplying by 2. This made shopping for potatoes excruciatingly difficult for many citizens. Therefore it was decided to introduce a new unit of currency, such that potatoes would be the numeraire. A sack of potatoes costs one unit of the new currency while the same relative prices apply as in the past. In terms of the new currency, what is the price of meatballs

Answers

Answer: 2 sacks of potatoes

Explanation:

In the past, meatballs cost 4 crowns per crock which was twice the price of Potatoes at 2 crowns per sack.

Now that potatoes were are the new currency but relative prices apply, the same notion above applies too.

If meatballs are twice the price of potatoes and potatoes are now the currency, then meatballs which are still twice the price of potatoes must be:

= 2 * 1 sack of potatoes

= 2 sacks of potatoes

The company maintains a constant 35 percent dividend payout ratio and a constant debt-equity ratio. What is the maximum dollar increase in sales that can be sustained assuming no new equity is issued

Answers

Answer:

$3,621.96

Explanation:

ROE = Net income/Equity * 100

ROE = 5846/48860*100

ROE = 11.9648%

Dividend payout ratio = 35%

Retention Ratio = 1 - 35% = 65%

Sustainable growth rate = (ROE*b)/(1-ROE*b)

Sustainable growth rate = (11.9648%*0.65)/(1- (11.9648%*0.65%))

Sustainable growth rate = 8.43%

Therefore, Maximum Dollar Increase in sales = Sales * Sustainable growth rate = 42,950 * 8.43% = $3,621.96

Tax Avoidance

Explanation:

A Tax is simply a compulsory payment to a local, state, or national government. It is a source of Revenue to government.

Tax Avoidance is defined as an action that an individual embark on to lreduce tax and maximize after tax income. That is to lessen one's tax liability within the limit set up by law.

In case of tax reduction or minimisation for an individual, one must;

1. Know that the arrangement is usually in the beginning of the business rather than in the course of it.

2. There must be sound commercial reasons for the arrangement.

3. Limit tax by exercising choices provided for in the Act and do not use these choices out of the manner listed by parliament. e.t.c

A rational buyer will: buy a product until the marginal benefit of consuming the product is less than the price of the product. buy the product only when the marginal benefit of consuming the product is twice as much as the price of the product. not consider costs versus benefits when purchasing a product. keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price.

Answers

Answer:

keep buying a product until marginal benefit equals price

Explanation:

A rational consumer would continue to consume a product until the marginal benefit of the last unit consumed equal marginal cost. At this point, utility is maximised.

For example, if the price of a bottle of water is $4. The utility you derive from the first bottle is 6. So you consume one more bottle, the utility you derive from the second bottle is 5. you buy a third bottle. The utility you derive from the 3rd bottle is 4. At this point utility is maximised and you should stop consuming more water

If you consume a 4th bottle, the utility you would derive from it would be 3 utils. This doesn't make sense because you are paying more for the bottle when compared to the utility you would derive from it

Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering purchasing a $100,000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. She is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. However, the Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct any state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return. In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.

Answers

The question is incomplete. The complete question is :

Tammy, a resident of Virginia, is considering whether to purchase a $100, 000 North Carolina bond that yields 4.6% before tax. She is in the 35% Federal marginal tax bracket and the 5% state marginal tax bracket. Tammy is aware that State of Virginia bonds of comparable risk are yielding 4.5%. Virginia bonds are exempt from Virginia tax, but the North Carolina bond interest is taxable in Virginia. Tammy can deduct all state taxes paid on her Federal income tax return.  In your analysis, assume that the bond amount is $100,000.If required, round your computations and answers to the nearest dollar. Determine the after tax income from each bond. Virginia Bond: $ 4, 600 North Carolina Bond: $ 4, 451 Which of the two options will provide the greater after-tax return to Tammy? Virginia bond

Solution :

Assuming that the bond amount is  $100,000.

After the tax income from the Virginia bond is given by:

= 100,000 x 4.5%

= $ 4500

After the income tax from the North Carolina bond :

= (100,000 x 4.6%) x (1-5%) + (100,000 x 4.6% x 5% x 0.35)

= $ 4451

Therefore the Virginia bond will give an after tax higher return.

Isabel, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December she received a $20,000 bill from her accountant for consulting services related to her small business. Isabel can pay the $20,000 bill anytime before January 30 of next year without penalty. Assume her marginal tax rate is 37 percent this year and next year, and that she can earn an after-tax rate of return of 8 percent on her investments

Required:
a. What is the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in December?
b. What is the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in January?
c. Based on requirement a and b, should Isabel pay the $19,000 bill in December or January?

Answers

Answer:

A. $11,970

B. $11,890

C. January

Explanation:

a. Calculation for the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in December

After-tax cost=$19,000 - ($19,000 x 37%)

After-tax cost= $19,000 - $7,030

After-tax cost= $11,970

Therefore the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in December will be $11,970

b. Calculation for the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in January

First step is to calculate the cost before taxes

Cost before taxes = $19,000 - ($19,000 x 8%/12) Cost before taxes= $19,000 - $127

Cost before taxes= $18,873

Now let calculate the After-tax cost

After-tax cost = $18,873 - ($18,873 x 37%)

After-tax cost= $18,873 - $6,983

After-tax cost = $11,890

Therefore the after-tax cost if Isabel pays the $19,000 bill in January will be $11,890

c. Based on the above calculation for both a and b, Isabel should pay the amount of $19,000 bill in January reason that it has the lowest cost of debt of the amount of $11,890 compare to December which has the cost of debt of the amount of $11,970.

Required information Skip to question [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the first process. During November, the first process transferred 780,000 units of product to the second process. Additional information for the first process follows. At the end of November, work in process inventory consists of 185,000 units that are 50% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning work in process inventory had $188,175 of direct materials and $196,313 of conversion cost. The direct material cost added in November is $1,259,325, and the conversion cost added is $3,729,937. Beginning work in process consisted of 76,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of the units completed, 76,000 were from beginning work in process and 704,000 units were started and completed during the period. Required: For the first process: 1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.

Answers

Answer:  

Direct materials = 965,000 units Conversion = 872,500 units

Explanation:

a. Direct materials  

Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process so ending EUP is 100% in respect to EUP.

EUP Direct materials = Finished goods + Closing EUP

= 780,000 + 185,000  

= 965,000 units

 

b. Conversion  

= Finished goods + Closing EUP  

= 780,000 + (0.50 * 185,000)  

= 780,000 + 92,500  

= 872,500 units

As part of its commitment to quality, the J. J. Borden manufacturing company is proposing to introduce just-in-time (JIT) production methods. Managers of the company have an intuitive feel regarding the financial benefits associated with a change to JIT, but they would like to have some data to inform their decision making in this regard. You are provided with the following data:

Required:
As the management accountant for the company, prepare an estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT. Specifically, what is the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation?

Answers

Answer:

A. $74,100 $954,700

B. $880,600

Explanation:

A. Preparation to estimate the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT

Current situation After JIT

Sales 1,430,000 1,810,000

Less costs

Production level support 214,500 72,400

(15%*1,430,000=214,500)

(4%*1,810,000=72,400)

Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 181,000

(28%*1,430,000=400,400)

(10%*1,810,000=181,000)

Direct material 429,000 362,000

(30%*1,430,000=429,000)

(20%*1,810,000=362,000)

Direct manufacturing labor 286,000 235,300

(20%*1,430,000=286,000)

(13%*1,810,000=235,300)

Inventory financing costs 26,000 4,600

(10%*260,000=26,000)

(10%*46,000=4,600)

Total costs 1,355,900 855,300

Operating profits $74,100 $954,700

(1,430,000-1,355,900)

(1,810,000-855,300)

Therefore the the financial benefits associated with the adoption of JIT will be $74,100 $954,700

B. Preparation for the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation

Current situation After JIT Change

Sales 1,430,000-1,810,000=-380,000

Less costs

Production level support 214,500-72,400 =142,100

Variable manufacturing overhead 400,400 -181,000=219,400

Direct material 429,000-362,000=67,000

Direct manufacturing labor 286,000- 235,300= 50,700

Inventory financing costs 26,000-4,600 =21,400

Total costs 1,355,900-855,300=500,600

Operating profits 74,100-954,700=880,600

Therefore the estimated change in annual operating income attributable to the JIT implementation will be 880,600

The following information is available for the adjusting entries. Accrued interest on the notes payable at year-end amounted to $4,000 and will be paid January 1, 2022. Accrued salaries at year-end amounted to $3,000 and will be paid on January 5, 2022. Supplies remaining on hand at the end of the year equal $3,800. Problem 3-9B Part 9 9. Record closing entries.

Answers

Question Completion:

Assume that Supplies were purchased during the year worth $13,000.

Record the adjusting entries.

Answer:

Adjusting Journal Entries on December 31, 2021:

Debit Interest Expense $4,000

Credit Interest payable $4,000

To record the accrued interest on the notes payable.

Debit Salaries Expense $3,000

Credit Salaries payable $3,000

To record the accrued salaries at year end.

Debit Supplies Expense $9,200

Credit Supplies $9,200

To record supplies expense for the year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Supplies purchased = $13,000

Supplies at year-end =   3,800

Supplies consumed = $9,200 ($13,000 - $3,800)

b) Adjusting entries are journal entries done at the end of a financial period to ensure that expenses and revenues are matched to the period they occur instead of when cash is exchanged.  This accords with the accrual concept and the matching principle of accounting.

PROJECT FOCUS: One day, a sophisticated business man walks into the cafe and asks to speak to the owner. He introduces himself as Brawner Smith and says that he would like to talk to you in private. Brawner has just opened a local record store down the street and would like to purchase your customer lists from music events. Brawner is offering you a rather large sum of money for the e-mail addresses and phone numbers for all of the customers who have attended concerts at the cafe over the past five years. What do you do

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Solution

At first, we will determine that whether we have communicated to our customers in a past that we will keep their information confidential and never be sold to any other person or business for any future marketing. If we have made such communication, then we should take information confidential and do not give to others.Similarly, if there is no confidentiality communication made in a past, then we can put an offer towards Brawner. We offer him that instead of providing phone numbers and email to him, pay tome, we will email and call the customers and let them know about Brawner and local record store. So in case any customers want something, they will contact directly to you (Brawner) or his shop.

If there is a communication to customers or from customers that the data should be kept private and not shared with anyone, the café owner should not share it.

Decision making based theory:

It's crucial to know how the data will be utilised and whether or not it will be shared with the owner of the record store.

Customers should be consulted before the data is shared, and the store owner's details and interest in them should be disclosed.

It makes good commercial sense to provide the data in exchange for money because the café owner has invested a significant amount of time, effort, and money in gathering the information.

An agreement can be reached with the store owner for the sharing of data with other businesses, limiting data usage and avoiding rivalry.

The firm will not be issuing any new common stock. What is Avery's WACC

Answers

Answer:

8.15%

Explanation:

The computation of the weighted average cost of capital as follows;

= After Cost of debt × weightage of debt + cost of preferred stock × weight of preferred stock + cost of common equity × weight of equity

= 6.50% × (1 - 0.40) × 35 ÷ 100 + 6% × 10 ÷ 100 + 11.25% × 55 ÷ 100

= 1.37% + 0.60% + 6.19%

A refrigerator costs $800 on an installment plan that requires a down payment of $140 and monthly payments for 12 months. What are the monthly payments of the plan?

Answers

55 dollars a month. U get this by doing 800-140 and then diving that by 12
The answer would be $55 per month.
The reasoning for this would be that after taking out the $140 down payment from the $800 would leave you with $660 once you get that number you divide it by 12. Which would give you your monthly payment of $55 per month.

Direct labor hour 336 hours

Using ABC, how much other overhead is assigned to the order?

a. $9,960.
b. $8,000.
c. $11,108.
d. $45,992.
e. $19,200.

Answers

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Given the above information

Payroll = $432,000 ÷ 4,800 = $90 per hour

Setup = $120,000 / 120 = $1,000 per setup

Material handling barrel = $104,400 / 8,700 = $11.95 per barrel

Quality control inspection = $264,000 / 1,100 = $240 per inspection

Overhead = $144,000 / 12,000 = $12 per machine hour

Details of the current product requirement

8 setup = 8 × $1,000 = $8,000

606 barrels = 606 × $11.95 = $7,242

80 inspections = 80 × $240 = $19,200

830 machine hours = 830 × $12 = $9,960

336 labor hours = 336 × $90 = $30,240

Total overhead assigned to order = $74,642
