Rachel bought a car from the Beautiful Used Car Agency under a written contract. She purchased the car in reliance on Beautiful's agent's oral representations that it had never been in a wreck and could be driven at least two thousand miles without adding oil. Thereafter, Rachel discovered that the car had, in fact, been previously wrecked and rebuilt, that it used excessive quantities of oil, and that Beautiful's agent was aware of these facts when the car was sold. Rachel brings an action to rescind the contract and recover the purchase price. Beautiful objects to the introduction of oral testimony concerning representations of its agent, contending that the written contract alone governed the rights of the parties. Decision on the objection?

    • Locate one peer-reviewed source in the University Library from EBSCOhost based on the topic of your paragraph.

    • Create an APA-formatted reference for the peer-reviewed source.
  2. Question 1

    1 Point

    Paste your paragraphs here and create an APA-formatted in-text citation for the peer-reviewed source.

What is academic integrity from module 1 was informing me on referring to the school reference center in the library to help from committing plagiarism. So, by doing all the steps correctly in writing a paper plagiarism would not occur. So, I feel as if you don't follow the academic integrity of using false information. So as a student and getting performance feedback by a professor need to staff helps in knowing and participating into university policy for regarding misconduct specific to the university, program and course. So as a student and a paper are plagiarized because of some time being lazy and waiting to the last minute to do a paper, but also by not doing the citation in the paper. Also, by just adding their name on someone else paper and turning it in. So, by doing these things for a paper It shows the lack of confidence one may have in self. But if they use the university resource material It may guide a student to use their own exposition or argument and words in a paper.

So, when your finding ways out to avoid plagiarism you should take into consideration the following: You can talk with your professor to get an idea of where you can start getting your information from. So if during your writing you find yourself with a question or concern about how to cite something or if it needs to be cited all ,do not hesitate to speak with your professor to gain ideas when you go to the center of writing excellence. So, a student should consider checking your work and add quotations for cited information that may be used in a paper. So, if you are still not sure that your work is correctly cited, consider checking the paper yourself before submitting it before It shows that you had plagiarized your paper. So by doing it will make you have confident and start making you pay more attention to your note taking and adding citations to your notes before you have doubt about your work early on and you can go back and add the necessary information. But if you don't remember all the steps and you still have doubt and you have followed the university center of writer excellence ,but also consider getting a fellow students who can provide feedback to help guide you in the right direction so it wouldn't occur.

Oscar Clemente is the manager of Forbes Division of Pitt, Inc., a manufacturer of biotech products....

Oscar Clemente is the manager of Forbes Division of Pitt, Inc., a manufacturer of biotech products. Forbes Division, which has $4.03 million in assets, manufactures a special testing device. At the beginning of the current year, Forbes invested $5.04 million in automated equipment for test machine assembly. The division’s expected income statement at the beginning of the year was as follows:

Sales revenue $ 16,030,000
Operating costs
Variable 2,040,000
Fixed (all cash) 7,500,000
Depreciation
New equipment 1,610,000
Other 1,410,000
Division operating profit $ 3,470,000

A sales representative from LSI Machine Company approached Oscar in October. LSI has for $5.22 million a new assembly machine that offers significant improvements over the equipment Oscar bought at the beginning of the year. The new equipment would expand division output by 10 percent while reducing cash fixed costs by 5 percent. It would be depreciated for accounting purposes over a three-year life. Depreciation would be net of the $594,000 salvage value of the new machine. The new equipment meets Pitt's 12 percent cost of capital criterion. If Oscar purchases the new machine, it must be installed prior to the end of the year. For practical purposes, though, Oscar can ignore depreciation on the new machine because it will not go into operation until the start of the next year.

The old machine, which has no salvage value, must be disposed of to make room for the new machine.

Pitt has a performance evaluation and bonus plan based on residual income. Pitt uses a cost of capital of 12 percent in computing residual income. Income includes any losses on disposal of equipment. Investment is computed based on the end-of-year balance of assets, net book value. Ignore taxes.

Required:

a. What is Forbes Division’s residual income if Oscar does not acquire the new machine? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)

b. What is Forbes Division’s residual income this year if Oscar acquires the new machine? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)

c. If Oscar acquires the new machine and operates it according to specifications, what residual income is expected for next year? (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Enter your answer in thousands of dollars. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar.)

Cases: Case 5-1 FedEx Corporation

Federal Express Corporation, now known as FedEx, was started in 1971 by Frederick W. Smith, an entrepreneur who recognized the need for a company that could deliver documents overnight. The company is headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, and it maintains a workforce of more than 290,000. The company provides transportation, e-commerce, and business services in more than 220 countries through a portfolio of businesses including FedEx Express, TNT Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, and FedEx Services. FedEx’s main competitors include UPS and DHL along with various smaller, local delivery providers. The company is known for being a great place to work at, as it has frequently made Fortune magazine’s list of the Best Companies to Work For. It accomplishes this through the use of annual employee surveys (The Survey Feedback Action Program), evaluations of leadership potential (The Leadership Evaluation and Awareness Program), and a Reward and Recognition Program (e.g., Golden Falcon and Bravo Zulu! Awards).

The mission of the company is as follows:

FedEx Corporation will produce superior financial returns for its shareowners by providing high value-added logistics, transportation and related business services through focused operating companies. Customer requirements will be met in the highest quality manner appropriate to each market segment served. FedEx will strive to develop mutually rewarding relationships with its team members, partners and suppliers. Safety will be the first consideration in all operations. Corporate activities will be conducted to the highest ethical and professional standards.

The company’s strategic objectives are to:

  • Achieve 10%-plus operating margin
  • Increase EPS 10% to 15% per year
  • Grow profitable revenue
  • Improve cash flows
  • Increase ROIC
  • Increase returns to shareowners

In terms of corporate strategies, FedEx focuses on growth in the following areas:

  • Grow internationally
  • Grow our supply chain capabilities
  • Grow through e-commerce and technology
  • Grow through new services and alliances

One core competency for the company is its ability to use the planning process to support continuous improvement and innovation in all aspects of its operations. Technology has been a major focus of the company’s planning efforts. This has resulted in a variety of industry-leading innovations, including the first automated customer service center that includes the COSMOS (Customer Operations Service Master Online System), real-time package tracking, and the Command and Control satellite-to-ground-level operations system that enables the company to deliver packages based on the fastest and safest routes possible. It manages the interface between more than 750 customer service stations and 500 air traffic and traffic hubs around the world. This enables the company to coordinate inbound and outbound aircraft and thousands of delivery vehicles to ensure the smooth and efficient delivery of packages to their destinations. Other examples of how FedEx’s superior operational planning process has led to the creation of innovative technological solutions include the SuperTracker devices that are used by drivers to track and retain detailed information about all packages and the APEC Tariff Database that is used to expedite global delivery of packages through the creation of an integrated information source for the specific tariff and customs requirements of most countries.
