Answer:
the yearly depreciation expense is $5,500
Explanation:
The computation of the yearly depreciation expense using the straight line method is as follows;
= (Purchase cost - salvage value) ÷ (estimated useful life)
= ($24,000 + $800 + $1,200 - $4,000) ÷ (4 years)
= ($26,000 - $4,000) ÷ (4 years)
= $22,000 ÷ 4 years
= $5,500
hence, the yearly depreciation expense is $5,500
Roy agrees to work as a financial advisor on a commission basis for Secure Investments, Inc., and signs an employment contract that includes an arbitration clause. A dispute arises over the amount of Roy's commission. Roy files a suit against Secure Investments, seeking $25,000 in unpaid commissions and $50,000 in other damages. Secure Investments insists that the parties submit the dispute to arbitration. On what Roy believes is insufficient evidence, the arbitrator awards Roy only $500 and issues a written opinion that includes an erroneous finding of fact and a mistaken conclusion of law. Can Roy successfully challenge this award in court
Answer:
Yes. Roy can successfully challenge this arbitration award in court.
Explanation:
According to the law, an arbitration clause is a part of the contract between Roy and Secure Investments, Inc. that deals with these parties' rights and options in the event of a legal dispute over their contract. Like in most arbitration clauses, Roy and Secure Investments, Inc. must have agreed not to sue each other but instead, to resolve their disputes through the arbitration process. But the res judicata effect produced through an arbitration can either be challenged and appealed against or enforced. Roy, depending on the merits of his case, can make a successful appeal against the arbitration award and not against the arbitration itself.
Larry is a minor, age 16 years old.
Larry decides to purchase a cell phone from Sprint.
Larry signs a written contract with Sprint to buy the cell phone and pay $75.00 per month for the cell phone plan for a time period of 2 years.
Sprint agrees that Larry will pay $75.00 per month for 2 years for the cell phone plan.
Larry and Sprint sign a written contract on April 1, 2021. Larry makes his first payment of $75.00 on April 15, 2021.
The written contract states that Larry will pay $75.00 per month for the cell phone plan on the 15th day of each month for 2 years.
WHAT IS ENTIRELY TRUE:
The contract is considered a VOID contract when it was signed by Larry and Sprint because Larry is a minor and Sprint cannot enforce the contract against Larry because Larry entered into the contract when he was a minor.
The contract is a VALID contract but is also a VOIDABLE contract on the part of Larry AND on the part of Sprint.
The contract is NOT voidable because the contract was signed in writing by both Larry and Sprint, pursuant to the Statute of Frauds.
The contract is a VALID contract but is also a VOIDABLE contract on the part of Larry but NOT on the part of Sprint.
Answer:
What is entirely true about this contract is:
The contract is a VALID contract but is also a VOIDABLE contract on the part of Larry but NOT on the part of Sprint.
Explanation:
As a minor, Larry (he was under the age of 18 when he signed the contract with Sprint) lacks the contractual capacity to enter into the contractual relationship with Sprint. But since he has signed the contract in exchange for the purchase of the cell phone, Larry can either honor the deal or void the contract. This is why the contract is said to be valid but voidable at Larry's behest. However, after Larry has turned 18, if he has not done anything to void the contract, then the contract with Sprint can no longer be voided.
Tami contracts with Construction Inc. to build a valuable structure on her yard. Tami's neighbor, Frank, is pleased about this construction project as this improvement will increase the value to his property. Neither Tami nor Construction, Inc. made the contract with the intent to benefit Frank. Can Frank sue Tami or Construction, Inc. and recover damages if either party breaches the contract? Group of answer choices Yes, Frank can sue either party since he is an intended beneficiary. Yes, Frank can only sue Tami since she is his next door neighbor. Frank can only sue if he requests the court for damages within 6 months of the breach. Frank will not be successful if he sues either party because he is an incidental beneficiary.
Answer:
Tami and Construction Inc. Vs. Frank
Can Frank sue Tami or Construction, Inc. and recover damages if either party breaches the contract?
Frank will not be successful if he sues either party because he is an incidental beneficiary.
Explanation:
Frank is just an incidental beneficiary and a third party who benefits from the contract between Tami and Construction, Inc. The contract is not intended to benefit Frank. Therefore, Frank does not have any legal rights under the contract. He cannot successfully sue Tami or Construction, Inc. if either party breaches the contract. He lacks the contractual rights to sue either party.

Equity capital is....
a. paid back within one year.
b. not a loan but a form of stock.
c. a loan from family.
d. paid back after five years.
Answer:
b. not a loan but a form of stock.

"We know that how we present data often can affect the audience’s conclusions about the data. In a recent article from Travel Weekly on the Department of Transportation’s on-time stats for airline arrivals, the argument is made that the airline industry pads its own statistics in order reap cost benefits, which may or may not be passed on to consumers. Is the reporting difference an ethical breach of confidence between the consumer and the industry?"
Answer:
The reporting difference is not an ethical breach of confidence between the consumer and the industry.
Explanation:
The information being presented is not confidential information. As a result, there is no ethical breach of confidence. Usually, such a lawsuit for breach of confidence is an action originating in common law concerning information between the airline and the consumers, when one of these parties decides to use the available confidential information for an unfair gain or advantage. This is not the case here between the airlines and the consumers of its services. Therefore, the case for breach of confidence should deal with the restriction of the dissemination of commercially viable information.

Merchant Company purchased property for a building site. The costs associated with the property were: Purchase price $ 178,000 Real estate commissions 15,300 Legal fees 1,100 Expenses of clearing the land 2,300 Expenses to remove old building 1,300 What portion of these costs should be allocated to the cost of the land and what portion should be allocated to the cost of the new building
Answer:
$198,000 and $0
Explanation:
The calculation is shown below:
The Cost of the land is
= Purchase price + Real estate commissions + Legal fees + Expenses of clearing the land + Expenses to remove old building
= $178,000 + $15,300 + $1,100 + $2,300 + $1,300
= $198,000
As the property is buy for the building site so here no cost will be recognized and allocated to the new building cost
hence, it would be zero

The initial values of the building, land, and equipment would be: Building Land Equipment a.$3,480,000 $3,480,000 $4,640,000 b.$3,480,000 $3,480,000 $580,000 c.$2,520,000 $2,520,000 $3,360,000 d.None of these answer choices are correct. Multiple Choice Option C Option B Option A Option D
Answer: c.$2,520,000 $2,520,000 $3,360,000
Explanation:
Sum the fair values from the independent appraisals up;
= 3,480,000 + 3,480,000 + 4,640,000
= $11,600,000
The proportion of the individual fair value to the total fair value can then be used to calculate the originals from the lump sum;
Building
= 3,480,000/11,600,000 * 8,400,000
= $2,520,000
Land
= 3,480,000/11,600,000 * 8,400,000
= $2,520,000
Equipment
= 4,640,000/11,600,000 * 8,400,000
= $3,360,000

Short notes on foods for bee
Answer:
The answer to this question varies depending on what their role is in the hive. For example, many worker bees eat the same exact foods such as honey, pollen, and nectar. However, the elusive queen bees (less common in a hive) are typically fed a different diet while growing up to change their overall larval development.
Answer:
This is about honey bees
Nectar is the main source of carbohydrates for honey bees. Therefore we have to plant flowers to ensure a well rounded diet all times of the year.

Cooper Construction Company had a contract starting April 2015, to construct a $18,000,000 building that is expected to be completed in September 2017, at a total estimated cost of $16,500,000. At the end of 2015, the costs to date were $7,590,000 and the estimated total costs to complete had not changed. The progress billings during 2015 were $3,600,000 and the cash collected during 2015 was 2,400,000. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Cooper would recognize gross profit on the building of:_____________
Answer:
$690,000
Explanation:
Total gross profit on the contract = Total contract value - Total estimated cost = 18,000,000 -16,500,000 = $1,500,000
Total cost in 2015 = 7,590,000
Total % of completion in 2015 = Total cost in 2015 / Total cost of contract
Total % of completion in 2015 = 7,590,000/16,500,000
Total % of completion in 2015 = 0.46
Total % of completion in 2015 = 46%
Gross profit in 2015 = Total gross profit on contract * Total % of completion in 2015
Gross profit in 2015 = 1,500,000 * 46%
Gross profit in 2015 = $690,000
Compare and contrast the protection to intellectual property provided by trade secrets relative to that provided by patents. What important defense is available to defendants in trade secret cases that is not available to patent infringement defendants?
Answer:
1. Protection to trade secrets and patents:
a. Trade secrets are protected indefinitely. Generally, patents are granted for a maximum of 20 years.
b. The owner of a trade secret does not need to pay annual fee to defend the secret. A patent holder is required to pay an annual fee, in order to make the patent enforceable.
2. Important defense for defendants in trade secret cases that is not available to patent infringement defendants:
The defendant in a trade secret case will cite that the secret is still commercially valuable. But a patent holder cannot cite this because the patent is granted for a maximum of 20 years to stop stifling innovation.
Explanation:
Both trade secrets and patents are intellectual property rights which confer on their owners the exclusive use of their intellectual property. The major differences are in the duration and the defense of the rights. Patents, unlike trade secrets, do not last forever. Patents, again unlike trade secrets, must be defended periodically through the payment of fees.

An economic order quantity (EOQ) system d. Computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) e. Computer-assisted design (CAD)
Answer:
d. Computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM).
Explanation:
Computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) employs specialized computer systems to actually guide and control the transformation process of inputs into outputs.
Basically, computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) avails manufacturers or business owners the ability to infuse process control into their production or assembly line and as such enhancing the level of production, performance and efficiency.
Generally, process control is mainly used in manufacturing industries such as food and beverages industries, oil and gas refinery industries, power (electricity) generation industries, chemical processing industries, and wastewater management industries where the production of materials from raw materials are continuously without any interruption.
Hence, the main purpose of computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) is to ensure that the manufacturing process is done with better quality, consistency, safety standards and efficiency through the adoption (use) of specialized software applications for machine automation.

Answer:
the government increases government spending initially by $100 billion, and total income in the economy increases by more than $100 billion.
Explanation:
When there is a rise in the government spending so it would rise the income i.e. higher that this represents the multiplier effect
If there is a rise in government spending so the Aggregate demand curve should be right due to which the income and level of the price would rise
Also if there is any change in the price level that moves along with the similar curve so this we cant called as the multiplier effect
hence, the above represent the answer

Explanation:
Jose is offered a job in Riverside where the CPI is 80, and a job in Los Angeles, where things are a little more expensive and so the CPI is 200. Jose's job offer in Los Angeles is for $100,000. How much does the Riverside job have to pay in order for the two salaries to represent about the same purchasing power (Hint: use the CPIs given to convert Los Angeles dollars to Riverside dollars)
Answer:
$40,000
Explanation:
in real dollars, the job in Los Angeles pays $100,000 / 2.00 = $50,000
Since the CPI at Riverside is 80 (or 0.8), we need to solve the following equation:
$50,000 = X / 0.8 where X is the equivalent salary in Riverside
X = $50,000 x 0.8 = $40,000
this means that a $40,000 salary in Riverside is equivalent to a $100,000 salary in Los Angeles
