1-1 Discussion: Ethics Case: Profit Manipulation 

 Previous

 Next

In 2010 the Moncrief Company purchased from Jim Lester the right to be the sole distributor in the western states of a product called Zelenex. In payment, Moncrief agreed to pay Lester 20% of the gross profit recognized from the sale of Zelenex in 2011.

If Moncrief purchases the additional units at year end under a periodic LIFO inventory system, Moncrief reduces Jim Lester’s payment by $40,000 ($210,000 – $170,000) and decreases gross profit by $200,000 ($1,050,000 – $850,000). The net effect on before-tax income is a decrease of $160,000 ($200,000 – $40,000). Since Moncrief does not intend to sell the units until 2014, the only logical reason for purchasing more costly inventory at year-end is profit manipulation.

Discuss with your peers the ethical dilemma Moncrief faces in determining whether or not the additional units should be purchased. Should Moncrief exercise its right to purchase inventory at will, resulting in a reduction in net income, or recognize the rights of Jim Lester to receive profit for the sale of his product, shareholders’ rights to have their investment appreciate through positive earnings, and government entities’ rights to collect tax on economic net income? Why?

Please help me to set up these problems, thank you!

A function I has derivatives of all orders for all real numbers , X . Assume f ( 2 ) = – 3 , f " ( 2 ) = 5 , f " ( 2 ) = 3 and the third derivative of fat X = 2 is – 8 .1 . Write the 3 rd degree Taylor polynomial for & about * = 2 and use it to approximate $ ( 1. 5 ) .2 . The fourth derivative of { satisfies the inequality*$( 4 ) * < 3 for all x in the interval [1.5 , 21 . Use the La Grange error bound on the approximation to $ ( 1 . 5 ) found inpart ( a ) to explain why f ( 1 . 5 ) cannot equal – 5 .3 . Write a fourth degree Taylor polynomial P ( X ) , for g ( X ) = * ( * 2 + 2 ) about * = 0. Use P ( X) to explain why g must have a relative minimum at * = 0 .4 . Given the function f ( X) = e-2x` , find the first four non- zero terms and the general term of the power series for * ( * ) about * = 0 .5 . Find the interval of convergence of the power series for* ( * ) about * = 0 . Show the analysis that leads to your conclusion .Print

Write 12 page essay on the topic CONTEMPORARY PRACTICES AND DEBATES.

Another example is how the prince’s birth has been announced to the public, which merges new and old media traditions. Clearly, several things, including deciding and announcing the name of royalty, are much faster done now compared to olden times.

Moreover, being part of the British family, Kate and William’s little prince will expect large media attraction and coverage, although the British family has tried to limit the latter’s presence in their lives in various ways, since Princess Diana’s death in August 31, 1997 (Lawless and Vinograd, 2013). The royal family, for example, has made arrangements with the British press regarding photos and information that can or cannot be published in the past (Lawless and Vinograd, 2013), a form of censorship that is harder to apply on the foreign/international press. These actions are only some of the examples of the departures of the British family from old traditions and their responses to the intrusions that come from the new media. This essay describes the old and new media environment that the little prince will grow in, as well his impact on the British economy and society. It shows that, despite the prevalence and dominance of the new media, the British family balances old and new cultural traditions as they seek to manage and to influence the media’s increasing impact on society, most especially, on the growth of the little Prince George.

To learn more about the role of media in the British family, it would be helpful to describe some changes in how the royal family announced the birth of Prince George. Traditionally, the royal family announces the birth of royal babies “in front of Buckingham Palace, in the form of a notice placed on an easel in the forecourt of the palace” (Gibson, 2013). British officials changed the tradition when they informed the public of Prince George’s birth through e-mail first, where they added: “The

Hi, I need help with essay on Reflect on the need for sustainability in the retail food and food service industries. Paper must be at least 1750 words. Please, no plagiarized work!

Since this is a very critical area lot of interest is vested in this sector both because of the high financial returns that are associated with it as well as the fact that it touches on the general welfare of the health of the society (Coles, 2011).

In the twenty-first century there is a high prevalence of lifestyle related diseases which are as a result of inappropriate living habits and especially the kind of foods that people consume (Great Britain, 2011). Research carried out by the University of Nottingham recently indicated that 33% of the population of United Kingdom is obese. Obesity is not a hereditary condition that is passed on in the genes rather it is a condition that arises due to the kind of lifestyles that people lead especially the kind of foods they consume as well as their social life which includes physical activities and the like. Health organizations has over time tried to bring together proprietors in the food industry to come up with a common objective of ensuring sustainability in the industry rather than being profit oriented thus foregoing the health of the entire society (Coles, 2011).

It is prudent to note that some unscrupulous business firms will produce foodstuffs that are ideally not fit for healthy human consumption but will go ahead to do so just because they will leap some good revenue out of the process but not bearing in mind the health impact their actions will cause to the consumers of the products. However, advanced societies like the United Kingdom have stipulated tough rules and regulations that govern and monitor business firms that operate in the food industry to ensure the dietary content of their products is within the stipulated health standards and has no health impacts to the end users whatsoever. This has ensured despite the sensitivity of the food sector in business discipline and high level integrity is maintained
