When 30-year-old Lindsay was in a coma for 3 months, her friend Corey had the legal authority to handle her personal, financial, and medical affairs. Why did Corey have the legal right to do this? A. Corey was her life insurance agent. B. She had chosen Corey as her executor. C. Corey was named as her guardian. D. Corey had designated power of attorney.
Answer:
The correct answer is C. Corey was named as her guardian.
Explanation:
A legal guardian is a person appointed by a guardianship authority or a district court to represent a principal in matters where he or she is unable to control his or her own interests or manage his or her affairs himself or herself for other reasons, usually health. A legal guardian cannot act as such in matters where he or she and the principal could have a conflict of interest. Thus, in short, the guardian has the power to make decisions by and for the principal, without requiring the consent of the principal, who consents to his actions by means of a prior mandate.
Do you think Hollywood and record companies have a right to alter or mandate changes to audio/video technology including TV's, TIVO, gaming consoles, DVR's, PC's, phones and IPODS, in order to insure or enforce copyright law?
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
I think Hollywood and record companies have a right to mandate changes in order to insure or enforce copyright law.
This is because Copyright law sets out to protect ownership of an original creative work by preventing unauthorized usage of the work. The creative work can be in the form of ideas, artwork, book or other forms of media. hence Hollywood and record companies have a right to enforce copyright laws by mandating changes to audio or video technology .
Your goal is to have $10,000 in your bank account by the end of twelve years. If the interest rate remains constant at 9% and you want to make annual identical deposits, what amount will you have to deposit into your account at the end of each year to reach your goal
Answer:
Annual deposit= $496.51
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Future value (FV)= $10,000
Interest rate (i)= 9%
Number of periods (n)= 12 years
To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
A= (10,000*0.09) / [(1.09^12) - 1]
A= $496.51

If a company has a quick ratio of 1.25 times, current assets of $25,000 and inventory of $5,000, the current liabilities balance is equal to sign and comma, as applicable) (round to the nearest dollar and include the dollar
Answer:
$16,000
Explanation:
Calculation to determine what the current liabilities balance is equal to
Using this formula
Quick Ratio = Current Assets - Inventory / Current Liabilities
Let plug in the formula
1.25 = ($25,000 - $5000) / Current Liabilities
1.25Current Liabilities = ($25,000 - $5000)
Current Liabilities = $20,000 / 1.25
Current Liabilities =$16,000
Therefore the current liabilities balance is equal to $16,000

Edison's Lights makes light bulbs. The company is currently producing well below its full capacity. Lamp Land has approached Edison's Lights with an offer to buy 20,000 light bulbs at $0.75 each. Edison;s Lights sells its light bulbs wholesale for $0.85 each; the average cost per unit is $0.83, of which $0.12 is fixed costs. If Edison's Lights were to accept Lamp Land's offer, what would be the increase in Edison's Lights' operating profits?
Answer:
the increase in Edison's Lights' operating profits would be $400
Explanation:
Analysis of the effects of Accepting Lamp Land's offer
Sales (20,000 x $0.75) $15,000
Less Incremental Costs :
Variable Cost (20,000 x $0.73) ($14,600)
Operating Profit $400
thus
If Edison's Lights were to accept Lamp Land's offer, the increase in Edison's Lights' operating profits would be $400
Based on the various costs to make the light bulb, Edison's lights would see an increase in operating profits of $800.
How would Edison's Lights see this profit?The fixed costs would be the same throughout production so should be deducted:
= Average cost - fixed cost
= 0.83 - 0.12
= $0.71
The variable cost of making the bulb is $0.71 which means that the profit made on every bulb if sold at $0.75 would be:
= 0.75 - 0.71
= $0.04
The total profit would be:
= 20,000 bulbs x 0.04
= $800

Compute diluted earnings per share.
Answer:
$2.35
Explanation:
Convertible option = Total options available - [Total options available*Purchase price per share / Average market price per share]
Convertible option = 45,000 - [45,000*12/15]
Convertible option = 45,000 - 36,000
Convertible option = 9,000 shares
Weighted average number of shares = Common stock outstanding - Convertible option
Weighted average number of shares = 198,000 - 9,000
Weighted average number of shares = 189,000
Diluted earnings per share = Net income attributable to common stockholders / Weighted average number of shares
Diluted earnings per share = $445,050 / 189,000 shares
Diluted earnings per share = $2.354761905
Diluted earnings per share = $2.35

Morrison Company manufactures two products: digital cameras and video cameras. The company uses an activity-based costing system. The annual production and sales volume of digital cameras is 10,000 units and of video cameras is 8,000 units. Direct costs for the digital cameras are $122; for the video cameras, direct costs are $153.
For overhead costs, there are three activity cost pools with the following expected activities and estimated total costs:
Activity Cost Pool Estimated Cost Expected Activity Digital Cameras Expected Activity Video Cameras Total
Activity 1$30,000 100 500 600
Activity 2 $45,000 600 300 900

Please show calculations!
Answer:
"$127.11 per unit" is the correct approach.
Explanation:
The activity cost as per the questions will be:
Activity 1:
= [tex]\frac{30,000}{600}[/tex]
= [tex]50[/tex] ($)
Activity 2:
= [tex]\frac{45000}{900}[/tex]
= [tex]50[/tex] ($)
Activity 3:
= [tex]\frac{96600}{2400}[/tex]
= [tex]40.25[/tex] ($)
Now,
The overhead cost for digital cameras will be:
= [tex](50\times 100)+(50\times 600)+(40.25\times 400)[/tex]
= [tex]5000+30000+16.100[/tex]
= [tex]51100[/tex] ($)
Per unit overhead cost will be:
= [tex]\frac{51100}{10000}[/tex]
= [tex]5.11[/tex] ($)
hence,
The total cost will be:
= [tex]Direct \ costs+Indirect \ costs[/tex]
= [tex]122+5.11[/tex]
= [tex]127.11 \ per \ unit[/tex] ($)

If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that:
A. a correcting entry for the overstatement of revenue was recorded. B. a customer paid in advance
C. services were provided.
D. the owner made an investment.
Answer:
C. services were provided.
Explanation:
If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that: "services were provided."
For fees to be earned it means something must have been done in exchange for the fee. Considering this is a business-related issue, then it is correct to conclude that "If Fees Earned has been credited, it is most likely that: services were provided."
Option A is not correct because the overstatement of revenue is not related to the fee warmed being credited.
Option B is not correct, because a payment made in advance does not correlate to a fee earned. Option D is not correct as well, because an investment has nothing to do with a few earned.

You purchase a townhome for 335k and borrow 95% of the listed price from Broadway Bank at an APR of 6% with monthly payments (your down payment is 5% of listed price). The maturity of your mortgage equals 30 years with monthly payments. Draw a time line that depicts the cash flows from the mortgage payments- compute the payment and show your inputs and work.
answer:
$1,908.07 ( monthly payments ) will be made i.e. This depicts the cash flow from the mortgage payment
Explanation:
Cost of townhome = 335k
APR ( I ) = 6%
percentage of cost of townhome borrowed = 95%
Down payment of cost of townhome = 5%
maturity period = 30 years = 360 months

At the fourth and final resource, one operator handles the product. No quality problems exist at this step and the processing time is 12 minutes per unit. For every unit of demand, how many units have to flow through the second step in the process
Answer:
2.25 units.
Explanation:
Processing time is 5 minutes per unit for step 1. The total capacity is 60 minutes then no. of units produced can be;
60 / 5 = 12 units per hour.
For second step processing time is 4 minutes per unit. There is 0.85 unit of product is scrapped. Then no. of units produced per hour can be ;
60 / 4 = 15 units per hour.
After scrap the net product units per hour will be;
15 units * [1 - 0.85] = 2.25 units per hour.
Problems and Applications Q6 The price of coffee fell sharply last month, while the quantity sold remained the same. Five people suggest various explanations: Sean: Demand decreased, but it was perfectly inelastic. Yvette: Demand decreased, but supply was perfectly inelastic. Bob: Demand decreased, but supply increased at the same time. Cho: Supply increased, but demand was perfectly inelastic. Eric: Supply increased, but demand was unit elastic. Who could possibly be right
Answer:
YvetteBobChoExplanation:
Yvette was right because a perfectly inelastic supply means that the supply remains the same regardless of the price. With the supply remaining the same even though prices fell, enough people still bought regardless of the decrease in price that the quantity sold remained the same.
Bob was also right because the scenario painted is similar to the above. The supply increased when demand decreased which meant that even though there were less people demanding, there was more coffee being supplied such that quantity remained the same.
Cho was also correct because a perfectly inelastic demand means that the demand does not change in response to a change in price. With coffee being perfectly inelastic, people will buy the same quantity regardless so quantity sold remained the same.

Answer:
Stephenson Company
The amounts that are relevant for the selection of one contract over another are:
a) Contract revenue and labor costs
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Contract X Contract Z
Contract Revenue $ 200,000 $ 260,000
Materials 10,000 10,000
Labor 88,000 120,000
Depreciation on Equipment 8,000 10,000
Cost Incurred for Consulting Advice 1,500 1,500
Allocated Portion of Overhead 5,000 3,000
b) The costs of materials and cost incurred for consulting advice, though variable, are equal in each contract. They are not relevant in determining the contract to choose. Contract revenue and labor costs are variable and not equal. They are relevant in determining the contract to select. They make a difference in the decision. Depreciation and overhead costs represent sunk costs. They are not relevant in the decision.
