Considering the marginal cost is $18 while the price per bushel is $48, the farmer has the option to increase production or not. At this margin, the investment return is calculated as:
(48-18)/18*100
=166.67%
This indicates he would still maintain profitability even if he decides not to expand production. The right decision would be:
c. maintain the current production level.

Balance in Allowance account at December 31, 2021  = 7,200

Bad debt disposed of                                             = 6,000

Remaining balance                                              = 1,200

Thus, the Allowance for doubtful debt at December 31, 2022 = $4,950 - $1,200

Allowance for doubtful debt at December 31, 2022 = $3,750

What are other ethical concerns that Stilton may be facing?
arsen [3447]

Complete Question:

James Stilton serves as the CEO of RightLiving, Inc., a corporation that purchases life insurance policies at a reduced price from terminally ill individuals and sells them to investors. RightLiving compensates terminally ill patients with a percentage of the future death benefits (typically 65%) and subsequently sells the policies to investors for 85% of the future benefit amount. The patients receive funds to assist with their medical and other expenses, while the investors are assured a positive return on their investments. The difference between the purchase and retail prices represents RightLiving's profit.

Stilton is aware that some sick patients might acquire insurance policies through deceit (by concealing their illness on the application). If an insurance company uncovers such fraud, it will annul the policy and withhold payment. While Stilton is confident that most of the policies he has acquired are legitimate, he recognizes that a few may not be.

Requirement:

What additional ethical dilemmas might Stilton encounter?

Answer with Explanation:

Stilton's ethical challenges include:

  • Should he disclose potential fraud to investors prior to executing sales?
  • What policies should be established to ensure that legitimate individuals can easily sell their policies, and how would lack of such policies be unfair for RightLiving, Inc.?
  • Stilton also faces ethical issues because the business model benefits from the early deaths of clients, which raises moral questions.
