Contemporary Moral Problems

 

By this point, we will have covered a number of major moral problems. Various authors will have presented opposing sides to each contemporary issue.

 

Choose one of the essays (from your textbook or a module) that you feel you can best explain (you don’t have to agree with it). Then,

 

1) Summarize the author’s argument.

 

2) Explain why or why not the argument works, i.e. whether or not the argument is valid and sound–make sure you know what those terms mean. You will be graded on your ability to explain and evaluate the argument based on careful reasoning.

 

Some essays have one argument (e.g. the Longino essay on pornography), some essays have numerous arguments (e.g. the Little essay on abortion); only choose one issue for your essay, as it is short. This is not a book report; this is a philosophical essay. Stick to the issue.

 

Imagine you are explaining the issue to a stranger from another culture who doesn’t understand the controversy. This means you cannot resort to religion, faith, or personal experiences to make your argument. You can only resort to reason.

 

Direct your response to the issue at hand; do not waste essay space on summary or exposition. Show me what you have learned from our discussions and readings. Remember, I will not grade you on your opinion: I will grade you on your ability to explain and analyze an argument.

 

Your notes, textbook, and readings are all welcome sources. Be sure to cite quotes if used (and use them sparingly). I highly recommend typing your response into a word processing program and saving regularly before pasting into Canvas.

 

If you cut and paste something that is not yours, I will figure it out. Plagiarism of any kind results in an automatic zero.

 

Keep your responses between 300-350 words. Use paragraphing. You have 100 minutes to complete the exam.

Comparing Costing Methods and Ethical Decision-making

/in /by

Answer the following two questions in word document in APA 6th edition format. Your answer should not exceed 2 pages. Ensure you reference your sources.

 

 

1. Comparing Costing Methods and Ethical Decision-making

 

Read the scenario and respond to the questions below:

 

Stacy Lynn, Inc. (SLI) is a manufacturer of rice cookers. The rice cookers sell for $45 per unit; the sales were 3,600 units in the current year. SLI has 400 units available for sale at the end of the current year and is projecting sales of 4,400 units next year. SLI is planning the same production level for the current year as last year – 4,000 units. The variable manufacturing costs for SLI are $16 and the variable selling costs are only $.50 per unit. The fixed manufacturing costs are $100,000 per year and the fixed selling costs are only $500 per year. Assume that beginning inventory was zero (0).

 

Stacy Ann Lynn, the great grand-daughter of the company’s founder is the current CEO/President of the company, which is still a family owned business. The past several years have been especially difficult due to price-pressure from Chinese imports. At the moment, all that Stacy believes she can do is to try to keep the company running until the economy improves. But, the company needs an immediate infusion of cash. So, she has decided to ask her bank for a large line of credit to maintain operating viability for the foreseeable future.

 

Additional Financial Information for SLI

 

Based on the information provided in the narrative and the financial statement above, please post a substantive response to the following parts of this Unit 6 Discussion:

 

a.  If Stacy Lynn wants to show the bank the maximum profit over the previous 2-year period, which costing method should she present?

 

b.  The bank requires that all financial statements conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Based on that requirement, which costing method should she present?

 

c. Based on the scenario for Discussion 1 in this unit, what are the legal and ethical issues facing Stacy Lynn?

2. Employee Compensation and Management Level Financial Control

 

Wages and salaries are a major component of an organization’s financial decision-making.

 

  • How might an organization craft compensation and other rewards if employees meet or exceed performance expectations, but discourage budgetary slack? Why or why not?
