Differences in the Risk of a Clothing Company and a Utility Company

A clothing company has high exposure to both diversifiable and non-diversifiable. Diversifiable risk exists within the company because of internal activities of the entity (Hopkin, 2013, p. 2). The company can avoid this type of risk by diversifying its investment portfolio. The clothing company has much exposure to this risk because they concentrate on one investment, clothing. On the other hand, the clothing company cannot avoid non-diversifiable risk because non-diversifiable risk affects the whole market (Jordao & Sousa, 2010, p. 2).

On the other hand, a utility company has limited exposure to diversifiable risk. The company has an investment in ...

Abstract

In this paper, I will analyze how money-making motivations are connected to subjective well-being. Money-making motivations are frequently distributed into realistic and unrealistic motivations, and that depends on the possibility of attaining them through making money. However, the distribution of motivations into realistic and unrealistic does not have to represent the absolute truth in every scientific research and real life scenario. Scientific research shows various conflicting findings on money-making motivations and their relationship with well-being. I will analyze the importance of cultural influences, value conflict, and associations with money in defining subjective well-being. Money-making motivations are an essential factor ...

Physician-assisted suicide is one of the most controversial topics in healthcare today. Some people consider it morally incorrect because it degrades the value of human life while others consider it better than suffering a painful death. However, the requests for assisted suicide are some of the most difficult moments for healthcare professionals. In many cases, ethical dilemmas about the power over life and death will prevent the physician from participating, but compassion and respect for the patients’ self-determination sometimes encourage physicians to discuss alternative, legal options with the patients. Some ethical frameworks and laws are against physician assisted suicide, but ...

Since its emergence in the 1950s, the field of community development has emphasized resident participation in decision-making and leadership. From a normative perspective, resident participation is an end in itself. From an instrumental standpoint, the knowledge, skills, and energy that resident participants bring to initiatives are seen as invaluable to the achievement of meaningful outcomes. Most rural communities in the United States do not have the chance to enjoy most of the recreational as well as employment opportunities that their counterparts (urban dwellers) enjoy. One of the factors that have led to this disparity is the lack of such facilities ...

Any situation that involves holding juvenile suspects can be rife with controversy – at least depending on the amount of resources that the parents have to provide quality representation for those juveniles. In the instance of these two boys, whose parents are not at hand, though, the risk of any parental outrage bringing meaningful consequences to the situation is significantly lessened. The fact that the two boys already have juvenile records for robbery and assault increases the probability that they may have committed this crime, and so I chose Option #1. I initially challenged my partner about the way ...

In the past few decades, the debate regarding payment for college athletes has become a pressing issue for higher education, necessitating a deeper look into the consequences of paying college athletes such high amounts for their playing. Currently, the NCAA’s rules and regulations regarding student athletes’ compensation include a no-pay rule; NCAA member colleges are forbidden from sharing revenue with athletes, leaving the payment and budget to go to coaches and faculty (Edelman, 2014). However, the possibility of paying student athletes raises many different arguments. Some argue that the emphasis on athletics in the higher education experience has left other departments ...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) belongs to the group of retroviruses and carries ribonucleic acid (RNA) as genetic material. HIV infection occurs when the virus enters CD4+ T-cells of the host and causes the host cell to replicate viral RNA and proteins, which in turn invade the other host cells. HIV infection may be divided onto four stages depending on the clinical history, physical examination, status of immune dysfunction, signs and symptoms and infections/malignancies. The first stage or the primary infection is characterized by acute HIV syndrome with a dramatic drop in CH4+ T-cells (500 to 1500 cells/mm3). The second stage ...

Coming back to the scenario in question, the decision made by the court has the full backing of ethics. This is because the virtue theory, for instance, evaluates the kind of life an individual wants to live before determining the ...
