Answer:
a. unethical
Explanation:
This company's behavior is unethical. In the globalized world, it is natural for transnational firms to direct their production structure to countries where labor is cheaper, as this makes their product more competitive in the international market. However, these firms must not take advantage of regulatory failures in the labor market in these countries to increase their profit. Every firm must be concerned and ensure that the physical integrity and health of employees who work on its plants is preserved, regardless of location. Thus, in order to act ethically, this firm should implement process improvements to minimize the exposure of employees to chemical agents and to inhibit the exploitation of the labor that occurs when employees work in excess and without being paid for overtime.
Answer:
1. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the consumer price index, the percentage change in the overall price level is;
Value of market basket of the good in 2017
= (50 * 2) + (5 * 6)
= $130
Value of market basket of the good in 2018
= (70 * 2) + (6 * 6)
= $176
CPI in 2017
= 130/ 130 * 100
= 100
CPI in 2018
= 176 / 130 * 100
= 135.38
Percentage change
= (135.38 - 100)/100
= 35.38%.
2. Using a method similar to that used to calculate the GDP deflator, the percentage change of the overall price level is ;
Nominal GDP in 2017
= (50 * 20) + (5 * 60)
= $1,300
Nominal GDP in 2018
= (70 * 21) + (6 * 80)
= $1,950
Real GDP using 2017 prices
Real GDP in 2017
= (50 * 20) + (5 * 60)
= $1,300
Real GDP in 2018
= (50 * 21) + (5 * 80)
= $1,450
GDP deflator in 2017
= (Nominal GDP in 2020 / Real GDP in 2020) * 100
= (1,300 / 1,300) * 100
= 100
GDP deflator in 2021
= (Nominal GDP in 2021 / Real GDP in 2021) * 100
= (1,950 / 1,450) * 100
= 134.48
Percentage Change
= [(134.48 - 100) / 100] * 100
= 34.48%
3. Which of the following statements is correct
a. The inflation rate in 2018 is not the same using the two methods.
b. The GDP deflator allows the basket of goods and services to change.
The inflation rate calculated using a method similar to the consumer price index is 35.38%, while the rate calculated using a method similar to the GDP deflator is 50%. These reports indicate a significant rise in prices in this nation.
To calculate the percentage change in the overall price level using a method similar to the consumer price index or CPI, you first establish a 'basket' of goods, in this case, 2 karaoke machines and 6 CDs. We then need to calculate the total cost of this basket for the two years in question. In 2017, the total cost was (2 karaoke machines * $50) + (6 CDs * $5) = $100 + $30 = $130. In 2018, the total cost was (2 karaoke machines * $70) + (6 CDs * $6) = $140 + $36 = $176.
The percentage increase is: ((176-130) / 130) * 100% = 35.38%, so the inflation rate as measured by a CPI-like method is 35.38%.
The GDP deflator method, by contrast, measures the price of everything produced in an economy, rather than a fixed basket of goods. In 2017, the nation produced 20 karaoke machines at $50 each and 60 CDs at $5 each, so the total GDP was ($1000 + $300) = $1300. In 2018, they produced 21 karaoke machines at $70 each and 80 CDs at $6 each, so the total GDP was ($1470 + $480) = $1950. Therefore, the percentage increase in prices according to the GDP deflator method is ((1950-1300) / 1300) * 100% = 50%, so inflation as measured by a GDP deflator-like method is 50%.
Either inflation measure could be meaningful, depending on the situation, but it's clear that prices are rising significantly in this small nation.

1. yes it is a competitive market because it meets all the assumptions of being a competitive market
2. no because there is no free entry in the market

A bond is an 'I owe you' note where the lender (the investor) lends capital to the borrower (the issuing entity) in return for a bond and gets paid back the face value plus interest at a predetermined rate. Legacy in this case has issued $570,000 worth of bonds with an 8.5% interest rate for four years, selling them at a rate of $508,050 when the current market rate is 12%. The price of a bond is influenced by current market rates.
The subject of the question pertains to bonds, which are part of the financial market. A bond is an 'I owe you' note that an investor buys in exchange for lending capital to an entity, like a corporation or government. In this scenario, Legacy is issuing bonds of $570,000 with an 8.5% interest rate for four years, that pay on a semiannual basis. These bonds are sold at $508,050 when the market rate is 12%.
When buying a bond, an investor becomes the lender and the issuing entity becomes a borrower who agrees to pay back the face value of the bond at maturity, plus an agreed-upon interest rate. As mentioned above, the bond has a coupon rate, usually semi-annual, and a maturity date when the borrower will pay back its face value and last interest payment. By these parameters of face value, interest rate, and maturity date, a buyer can calculate a bond's present value. This value may not be the same as the bond's face value.
If you consider a market rate now at 12%, you know that you could invest $964 in an alternative investment and receive $1,080 a year from now; or $964(1 + 0.12) = $1080. This means you would not pay more than $964 for the original $1,000 bond. Therefore, the price of a bond is influenced by the current market rate.

A bond is an "I owe you" note that an investor receives in exchange for money. Legacy issued bonds at a price lower than the face value due to higher market interest rates.
In financial terms, a bond is an "I owe you" note that an investor receives in exchange for money. The bond has a face value, a coupon rate, and a maturity date. Combining these elements and market interest rates, a buyer can compute a bond's present value. Legacy issued $570,000 of 8.5%, four-year bonds at $508,050 when the market rate is 12%. This means that the present value of the bonds is less than the face value because the market rate is higher than the coupon rate.

In a catering business transaction, you would debit the receiver and credit the giver account for each transaction. Such accounts may include Cash, Supplies, Fees Earned, etc. However, without specific details on transactions (a) through (f), more specific account identification cannot be provided.
The transaction entries would follow the standard principle of accounting - debit the receiver, credit the giver. It would also adhere to another principle - debit what comes in and credit what goes out. Each transaction would affect two accounts; one involves a debit entry, while the other one a credit entry.
For instance, if Merry Walker purchased supplies by cash (Transaction a), it would result in a debit to Supplies (3) and credit to Cash (1). If Merry received cash for catering services provided (Transaction b), Fees Earned (11) would be credited and Cash would be debited (1).
I cannot be more specific without seeing the details of transactions (a) through (f) that you mentioned. However, the principles mentioned above will guide you in identifying the accounts to debit and credit for each transaction.
