Toyota Manufacturing Company (TMC) is a global vehicle manufacturing company that operates in many markets, and its business is affected by global factors. The company is subject to strict scrutiny by governments and environmentalists, which could affect its ability to sell cars in certain markets.

Moreover, TMC diesel-engine vehicles were also found to have problems with their filters, and the company faces litigation due to the high number of complaints against it. The company’s sales are also affected by the current COVID-19 crisis situation prevailing in major markets across the globe.

In an initial simulation, a small population of six snails (out of 85) founded a new population. Suppose 50 snails from the original site. (rather than six). Assuming these 50 snails survived and reproduced on the new island, what effect would the larger sample size have on the result? Could you predict any shifts in the gene pool due to random genetic drift?

Now consider the two populations of snails living on a single island. Is it at all plausible that these populations might become reproductively isolated? If reproductive isolation does occur, describe some long-range consequences that you might expect to observe in snail populations. If speciation were to occur on a single island, what types of adaptations might you expect to evolve in the WTSP predator population?

Agarwal Technologies was founded 10 years ago. It has been profitable for the last 5 years, but it has needed all of its earnings to support growth and thus has never paid a dividend. Management has indicated that it plans to pay a $0.25 dividend 3 years from today, then to increase it at a relatively rapid rate for 2 years, and then to increase it at a constant rate of 8.00% thereafter. Management's forecast of the future dividend stream, along with the forecasted growth rates, is shown below. Assuming a required return of 11.00%, what is your estimate of the stock's current value?

Respond to the information below about bullying bosses with about a one paragraph essay (100 word minimum) explaining your thoughts and experiences with this issue.

According to a workplace violence report issued by the FBI's Critical Incident Response Group, bullying, if left unchecked, may result in more serious violent behavior.

The Workplace Bullying Institute (WBI) notes that research findings "have confirmed that targets appear to be the veteran and most skilled person in the workgroup . . . Insecure bosses and coworkers can't stand to share credit for the recognition of talent. Bully bosses steal credit from skilled targets."

The WBI also says that "The most easily exploited targets are people with personalities founded on a prosocial orientation—a desire to help, heal, teach, develop, nurture others."

you do your job. Nayan cannot understand why an audit is not a guarantee the company will

themselves. As an auditor, you would have to assume that you cannot believe anything a
company manager says to you.

reasonable assurance is determined. Explain why an auditor cannot offer absolute assurance
