Richards adopts a teleological-parochialism position 1 to justify that his actions are ethical, 2 even though they are illegal (Baugher & Weisbord, 2009). 3 Richards argues that his actions are ethical as they resulted in desirable consequences, in the form of better sales/performance figures, which met analyst forecasts and positively affected shareholder value (Radtke, 2004; Fernando, Dharmage, & Almeida, 2008). 4 He acted in the interests of his ‘in-group’ (other executives/managers), maximising their performance-based compensation, 5 at the expense of others (Barnett, Bass, & Brown, 1994). 6 Richards also claims that his actions were not serious, as recognising revenues
Acute renal failure occurs quickly over a period of days or weeks with a reduction in GFR and elevation of BUN, plasma creatinine and crystatin C levels. Oliguria (urine output of < 30ml/hr or < 400 ml/day) is usually associated with ARF, although urine output may be normal or increased as well. Fluid is still filtered at the glomerulus but there is an alteration in tubular secretion or reabsorption. Most types of ARF are reversible if diagnosed and treated early (Perrin, 2009).
The last alternative for estimating fixed expenses brings the total to $4,064,000.00, which will generate a small Net Profit of $1,085,320.00. Although expanding Strike Roach Ender to 19 cities can be profitable, the potential losses Zoecon could take from an effective advertising and promotion strategy for this venture far exceed the potential rewards. The $4,064,000.00 would not be sufficient enough advertising to gain a significant market share in all 19 cities over a substantial amount of time. The general “rule of thumb” approach is more accurately what would be spent for the new Strike Roach Ender product, in which case a major loss would be taken, making this venture not financially feasible.
4) Due to the rebounding industry growth rate of 15% in 2011 comparable to the explosive CAGR of 16.1% from 2003-2008 combined with the partial opening of the new plant in Slovenia, OH Rates are most likely to increase with higher volume orders and larger scale operations. This in turn will decrease our bids and make it more attractive for prospective clients.

The applicants are morally correct as long as their action promotes their long term interest.

1. By going public Rosetta Stone would be able to obtain the capital required to expand the business and enter new markets. Another advantage of going public is the ability for Rosetta Stone to increase its brand’s image, awareness, and reputation.
