In United States airspace, the average number of commercial aircraft in the sky on an average morning is 4000. There are another 16,000 planes on the ground. Aerospace company Rockwell-Collins developed what it calls a “digital parachute,” a panic-button technology that will land any plane in a pinch at the closest airport, no matter what the weather or geography, and without the help of a pilot. The technology could be applied where a pilot is no longer capable of flying the plane, or is panicked and confused about what to do in an emergency. Assume the cost of retrofitting 20,000 commercial airplanes is $55,000 each and the plane stays in service for 15 years. The technology could save an estimated average of 40 lives per year; the value of a human life is estimated at $4,000,000. Use an interest rate of 8% per year to determine the B/C ratio
French Impressionists is an independent cinema located in Melbourne. The cinema specialises in showing French films. The cinema has experienced extreme financial hardship in terms of profit and cash flow in 2020 and 2021as a result of the lockdown to combat the covid pandemic. Their accountant suggested a strategy for moviegoers to pre-purchase tickets when the cinema is closed during lockdown. He suggests this will improve cash inflow and the tickets can be redeemed (used) when the cinema is open with limited or has full capacity. In late June 2020, French Impressionists placed on its website a contract to honour all pre- purchased cinema tickets. The conditions of sale were detailed including that the tickets must be used by 31 December 2021. The accountant expects that 10% of the pre-purchased tickets will expire without being used. The cost of a ticket was $25 and between July and October 2020 the following tickets were pre-purchased: July 100, August 150, September 60 and October…
When President Carlos Menem of Argentina took office in 1989, he and his economy minister Domingo Covallo decided that competition from foreign producers would stimulate Argentine businesses to provide better products at competitive prices. To the delight of Argentine shoppers, the import tariffs were lowered and goods began pouring in from all over the world: calculators and copy machines, scissors and automobiles, bicycles, toothpicks – and peaches. When Menem’s new policies took effect, California peach growers responded eagerly to the opening of the new market. Individual growers banded into the California Peach Growers Association to ship their fruit to Edcadassa, the Argentine firm that oversees all imported goods while they await customs clearance at Ezeiza international airport. As supervisor of the Argentine project for the growers association, you were extremely pleased with success of the first few shipments; everything had gone smoothly. Then word came back from…
Ethical challenges, global company environmental concerns. Contemporary Interiors (CI) manufactures high-quality furniture in factories in North Carolina for sale to top American retailers. In 1995, CI purchased a lumber operation in Indonesia, and shifted from using American hardwoods to Indonesian ramin in its products. The ramin proved to be a cheaper alternative, and it was widely accepted by American consumers. CI management credits the early adoption of Indonesian wood for its ability to keep its North Carolina factories open when so many competitors closed their doors. Recently, however, consumers have become increasingly concerned about the sustainability of tropical woods, including ramin. CI has seen sales begin to fall, and the company was even singled out by an environmental group for boycott. It appears that a shift to more sustainable woods before year-end will be necessary, and more costly. In response to the looming increase in material costs, CEO Geoff Armstrong calls…

Covid patients in Singapore who choose not to get vaccinated could face high medical bills, as one of the most immunized societies in the world ramps up the pressure to get more shots in arms. The government has so far shielded residents and citizens in the city-state from the cost of treatment for Covid-19 throughout the pandemic by fully covering everyone. But no longer. Amid the worst virus outbreak in the country, officials have opted to start charging Covid-19 patients who are unvaccinated by choice beginning Dec. 8. Patients who receive therapeutics and stay in intensive care units may have to pay about S$25,000 ($18,460), according to a median estimate released by the health ministry on Thursday in response to queries from Bloomberg News. "Our hospitals really much prefer not to have to bill these patients at all, but we have to send this important signal, to urge everyone to get vaccinated if you are eligible," health minister said in a briefing on Monday announcing the move.…
