Document Summary

We like to talk about what we see and what it means. All notes regarding knowledge that may be tested. Film theory/what is it: thinking about cinema beyond its content, ex. They do not die, they transform themselves leaving traces and reminisces. Ontological: question of being (the world the camera and film are a part of: the questions that we dont ask so that we can easily delve ourselves into the cinema. Long-take, mobile camera, and deep focus: viewers will have a different experience for the objective world and their subjective. How do we come to know things and then we add moore of our own meanings. Example: andre bazin: ontologically (what should film be?, epistemologically (how will the viewer react/what will he or she learn? experience of it if they are shown films with this argument in mind, aesthetically cinema should reproduce objective reality.

When people talk about the merit of Adam Smith's "invisible hand," "laissez faire," and how government should leave the market alone and it is only then the economy will work at its the best, the market they are referring to (whether or not they know it) is the perfectly competitive.

But how common is perfect competition really in real life?

What were the common or are the common examples of perfect competition? And think about whether they satisfy the criteria of perfect competition. If they do, do you think these constitute the majority or minority of markets we interact with in the real world? If they don't, in what ways do they fail to qualify? If even the typically used examples do not meet the criteria, what does it say about the prevalence of perfect competition in the real world and, in turn, the validity of the arguments above? Does that mean that the government has its justification for meddling with the markets all the time? Where do we draw the line and how do we determine a healthy balance?

Need answer for this and it has must be 250 words and the answer must relate to the question. Please also reference any sources (quotes) you use at the end of your response.

We have had Paige & Gentry as our auditors for many years,haven’t we, Jane? They have been here since I became president twoyears ago.” “Yes, Bob, I have been the Chief Financial Officer forseven years, and they were here before I came. Why do you ask?”“Well, they were really tough on us during the recent discussionswhen we were finalizing our year-end audited statements—not at alllike I was used to at my last company. When we asked for a littlelatitude, our auditors were usually pretty obliging. Frankly, I’m alittle worried.” “Why, Bob, we had nothing to hide?” “That’s true,Jane, but let’s look ahead. We’re going to have difficulty makingour forecast this year, and our bonuses are on the line. Remember,we renegotiated our salary/bonus package to give us a chance athigher incentives, and we have to be careful.” “Looking ahead,we’ve got a problem with obsolete inventory that’s sure to come torequire discussion for a second year in a row. We’ve got thewarranty problem with the electrical harness on midrange machinewhich is going to cost us a bundle, but we want to spread theimpact over the next three years when the customers discover theproblem and we have to fix it up. And don’t forget the contaminatedwaste spill we just had—how much is that going to cost to clean up,if we ever get caught?” “These are potentially big ticket items.Bill Paige, the guy who is in charge of our audit, is not going tolet these go by. He said the inventory problem was almost materialthis year and we had to argue really hard. You are a qualifiedaccountant; how can we handle this?” “Well, Bob, we could have someinformal discussions with other auditors—maybe even the ones atyour old company—to see how they would handle issues like these.The word will get around to Bill and he may be more accommodatingin the future, and will probably shave his proposed audit fee fornext year when he meets with our Audit Committee next month. If youreally wanted to play hardball, we could talk the Audit Committeeinto calling for tenders from new auditors. After all this time,it’s logical to check out the market, anyway. We would have advancediscussions during which we would sound them out on how they wouldassess materiality in our company’s case. Our audit fee in gettingpretty large—almost $50,000 this year—so some big firms will bereally interested.” “Jane, let’s play hardball. Get a list of auditfirms together for the tender process, and I will approach theAudit Committee. Be sure to list some small firms, includingWebster & Co., the firm auditing my old company.” Questions 1.Who are the major stakeholders involved in this situation? 2. Whatare the ethical issues involved? 3. Is this situation unethical?Why and why not? 4. What should Jane do if Webster & Co. lookslike the choice the Audit Committee will make and recommend to theboard of directors?
