Answer: D. unenforceable contract.
Explanation:
If a contract is valid yet is prohibited from being enforced by a statute of limitation then the contract is simply unenforceable.
The parties involved in the contract can still perform the duties that were assigned to them by the contract but because it is not enforceable, if either party fails to carry out their side of the contract, the other cannot take them to court because the court will not enforce it.

This is because choices A and D involve administrative personnel, and such personnel are not registered thus making them invalid. Answer B would not be correct either because the secretary is taking "messages" which are just information that needs to be passed to the authorized individual and not an "order" like in choice C.
What is the correlation coefficient of the relationship between the average weekly hours spent studying and the score on the final exam?
0.5049 is the Multiple R value. Remember that for single variable linear regression, Multiple R, which is the square root of R2, is equal to the absolute value of the correlation coefficient. The regression coefficient for Average Weekly Hours Studying (0.03, as shown in the bottom table of the output) is positive, so the slope is of the regression line is positive. Therefore, the correlation coefficient must also be positive.
Answer:
hello some parts of the question is missing attached below is the missing part
answer : Multiple R = 0.5049 (correlation coefficient )
Explanation:
The correlation coefficient of the relationship between the average weekly hours spent studying and the score on the final exam can be determined/calculated via the relationship between the average weekly hours spent studying and the score of the final exam.
To find the correlation coefficient we will find the square root of R squared

A perpetuity has a PV of $ 29 comma 000. If the interest rate is 7%, how much will the perpetuity paid every year
Answer:
The perpetuity payment per year was $2030
Explanation:
A perpetuity is a series of cash flows that are constant, occur after equal intervals of time and are for infinite period of time or are perpetual. Thus, it is like and annuity but with an infinite time period. The formula for the present value of of perpetuity is,
PV of Perpetuity = Cash Flow / r
Where,
r is the required rate of returnAs we already know the present value of perpetuity and the required rate of return, we can input these values in the formula to calculate the annual perpetuity payment or cash flow.
29000 = Cash Flow / 0.07
29000 * 0.07 = Cash Flow
Cash Flow = $2030
The federal income tax law allows individuals whose property is destroyed by a natural disaster such as a fire or hurricane to reduce their taxable income by the amount of their financial loss. This rule is intended to improve the
Answer: Horizontal Equity of tax
Explanation:
The Horizontal equity of cash is a logic that people of similar assets and income should be paying the same taxes thereby encouraging tax neutrality.
A person whose property is destroyed by a natural disaster such as a fire or hurricane will see their tax paying ability diminished and so should be paying a tax that is reflective of their reduced number of assets and the money they will have to pay to replace it.
Ash Company reported sales of $550,000 for Year 1, $600,000 for Year 2, and $650,000 for Year 3. Using Year 1 as the base year, what is the revenue trend percent for Years 2 and 3
Answer:
1. 109.1%
2. 118.2%
Explanation:
With regards to the above, since revenue is increasing and also since year 2 and year 3 have higher revenues than year 1,
Therefore,
Year 2 = ( $600,000 / $550,000 ) * 100
= 109.1%
Revenue trend percent for year 2 is 109.1%
Year 2 = ( $650,000 / $550,000) * 100
= 118.2%
Revenue trend percent for year 3 is 118.2%

Effective communication occurs when: Group of answer choices information is transmitted and understood between two or more people. the sender convinces the receiver to accept the information sent. information is collected from various sources but sent to a limited audience. the sender transmits information that is received by someone other than the intended receiver. information is sent through informal rather than formal channels.
Answer:
information is transmitted and understood between two or more people.
Explanation:
The essence of every communication is to pass an information across. Information can then be said to be successful, if both the receiver and the sender understood each other.
For example, a sender telling someone to pay off his debt before the next 7 days. It would be an effective communication if the reciever of such information clears his or her debt before the allocated time frame.
On September 1, 2021, Blue Co., issued $1,600,000 of its 10% bonds at 98 plus accrued interest. The bonds are dated June 1, 2021 and have an effective interest rate of 11%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. At the time of issuance, Blue would receive cash of:
Answer:
$1,536,768 (look at explanation)
Explanation:
the question is missing the options which would help to determine the clean price using accrued interests and the YTM formula, or it is missing the years to maturity. Since I cannot guess any options (they are infinite), but I can use a 10 year to maturity period to solve it as an example:
in order to determine the clean market price of the bonds we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula (for 1,600 bonds of $1,000):
0.055 = {50 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.055 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 50 + [(1,000 - MV)/20]
0.055 x (500 + 0.5MV) = 50 + 50 - 0.05MV
27.5 + 0.0275MV = 100 - 0.05MV
0.0775MV = 72.50
MV = 72.50 / 0.0775 = $935.48
since the bonds yield a higher rate than coupon rate, they were sold at a discount at approximately $935.48 each
accrued interest per bond = $1,000 x 10% x 3/12 = $25
dirty price per bond = $935.48 + $25 = $960.48
total cash received = $960.48 x 1,600 = $1,536,768
Answer:
Blue would receive cash of $1,608,000.
Explanation:
The amount of cash Blue would receive is the addition of the of price of the bonds and interest from June 1, i.e. the bond date, to September 1, i.e. the issue date.
These can be calculated as follows:
Price of the bonds = $1,600,000 * 98% = $1,568,000
Interest = $1,600,000 * 10% * (3 months / 12 months) = $1,600,000 * 10% * 0.25 - $40,000
Amount received by Blue = Price of the bonds * Interest = $1,568,000 + $40,000 = $1,608,000
Therefore, Blue would receive cash of $1,608,000.
Note that the question reads Interest is payable semiannually on June 1 and December 1. This implies that the accrued interest is not payable yet on th September 1 but it will be paid on December. This is why the accrued interest is added to the cash received by Blue in order to hold it till December 1 when it will be paid.
The cross-price elasticity of demand for coffee and coffee-cream is likely to be Group of answer choices
Answer:
B) less than zero.
Explanation:
Since the coffee and the coffee cream are consumed and used together so they are considered to be the complement goods to each other
In this case, the cross price elasticity of demand is negative and while on the other hand if the two goods are considered to be a substitute than this would be a positive
Hence, it should be less than zero i.e. negative
Therefore the correct option is B.

Suppose the following transactions occur during the current year:_______. 1. Kevin orders 50 bottles of wine from a French distributor at a price of $30 per bottle. 2. A U.S. company sells 200 textbooks to a Canadian company at $45.00 per textbook. 3. Rajiv, a U.S. citizen, pays $1,500 for a laptop he orders from Microell (a U.S. company).Complete the following table by indicating how the combined effects of these transactions will be reflected in the U.S. national accounts for the current year.Hint: Remember to enter a minus sign when the balance is negative. Amount (Dollars) Consumption Investment Government Purchases Imports Exports Net Exports Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
Answer and Explanation:
1. Consumption = Kevin's purchase of wine + Rajiv purchase of laptop
= 30 × 50 + 1,500
= 1,500 + 1,500
= $3,000
2. Investment = 0
3. Government purchase = 0
4. Imports = Kevin's purchase of wine = 30 × 50
= 1,500
5. Exports = US company selling to Canada = 45 × 200
= $9,000
6. Net exports = Exports - Imports
= $9,000 - $1,500
= $7,500
7. GDP = Consumption + Investment + Government spending + Net exports
= 3,000 + 0 + 0 + 7,500
= $10,500
he following CVP income statements are available for Blanc Company and Noir Company. Blanc Company Noir Company Sales $485,000 $485,000 Variable costs 291,000 242,500 Contribution margin 194,000 242,500 Fixed costs 186,240 234,740 Net income $7,760 $7,760 (a1) Calculate Contribution margin ratio. (Round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.32.) Contribution Margin Ratio Blanc Company Noir Company
Answer:
contribution margin ratio= 0.45
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Blanc Company Noir Company
Company Sales $485,000 $485,000
Variable costs 291,000 242,500
To calculate the contribution margin ratio, first, we need to determine the sales proportion:
Blanc= 485,000/970,000= 0.5
Noir= 485,000/970,000= 0.5
Now, we need to use the following formula:
contribution margin ratio= Weighted average contribution margin/ Weighted average sales
Weighted average contribution margin= (weighted average sales - weighted average variable cost)
Weighted average contribution margin= (0.5*485,000 + 0.5*485,000) - (0.5*291,000 + 0.5*242,500)
Weighted average contribution margin= 218,250
contribution margin ratio= 218,250 / 485,000
contribution margin ratio= 0.45

ABC declared a property dividend. The dividend consisted of 10,000 common shares of its investment in XYZ Company. The shares had originally been purchased at $4 per share and had a $1 par value. The value of the shares on the declaration date is $7 per share. What is the first entry that should be recorded related to this dividend? a. Retained earnings 70,000 Property dividends payable 70,000 b. Retained earnings 70,000 Property dividends payable 40,000 Gain 30,000 c. Investment in XYZ 30,000 Retained earnings; 30,000 d. Investment in XYZ 30,000 Gain 30,000
Answer:
D. Investment in XYZ 30,000 Gain 30,000
Explanation:
The value of shares have increased from $4 to $7. Which means they are now increased by 30,000 (10,000 x $3). The question refers to the increase in value of Shares rather than buying them at new value and therefore, Option A is incorrect.
While the question does mentions declaration of property dividend, it does not mention by how much the same was paid. Hence, the entry of Option B is also incorrect.
When value of Shares are increased then it results in Gain in Shares and effects the Balance Sheet rather than the Income Statement. Therefore, the entry recording Retained Earnings in Option C is incorrect.
Option D is correct, as the Investment in XYZ has increased by 30,000 and simultaneously it has resulted in Gain by 30,000. Hence, this is the first entry that should be recorded.
Discuss decision making under conditions of uncertainty, specifically using expected monetary value
Answer with Explanation:
The decision making under the conditions of uncertainty:
Uncertainty is an unquantifiable outcome of a decision that can not be mathematically modeled whereas risk is a quantifiable outcome of a decision that can be mathematically modeled.
The expected value method helps in decision making related to uncertainty are making prudent estimates of cash flow by using expected value.
Expected value considers every outcome under uncertainty and computes all of the expected value for each outcome. The outcome that gives highest expected value is said to be best case and likewise the outcome that gives lowest expected value is said to be worst case.
Suppose that two projects gives the same expected value, then the decision will be based on the degree of uncertainty which means the project that has lowest uncertainty of returns will be our choice.
The deviation of the expected value from required return on a project can be measured as a Degree of uncertainty that helps in understanding to what extent the return will be not as per the expectation. The Precise Measurement of uncertainty can be calculated by inclusion of standard deviation to estimate expected value of the decision taken.
The expected money value is the monetary value that a particular decision will generate. In expected monetary value the decision is based on the weighted average of best case and worst case. The value derived is average thus the standard deviation would be very low which means that the calculation was precise. Decision trees are used in precise measurement of cash flow related to each expected outcome and deriving a weighted average value.

What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 134 shares of Stock A that sell for $44 per share and 114 shares of Stock B that sell for $34 per share? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 4 decimal places, e.g., .1616.)
Answer:
Weight of stock A = 60.33%
Weight of stock B= 39.66%
Explanation:
Stock A has 134 shares that is sold at $44
Stock B has 114 shares that is sold at $34
The total market value of stock A can be calculated as follows
= 134×44
= 5,896
The total market value of stock B can be calculated as follows
= 114×34
= 3,876
Total value of both stocks = 5,896+3,876
= 9,772
Therefore the weights of the portfolio can be calculated as follows
Weight of stock A = 5896/9772
= 0.603×100
= 60.33%
Weight of stock B
= 3876/9772
= 0.3966×100
= 39.66%

a. (2). $461,400
b. 153,800 units
c. $1,845,600
d. $2,645,600
Explanation:
Contribution margin = Contribution / Sales × 100
Where
Contribution margin = Sales - Variable Cost
Current
Sales $1,440,000
Variable Costs :
Selling expenses $84,000
Direct materials $504,000
Direct labor $169,400
Administrative expenses $55,200
Manufacturing Overheads $267,400 ($1,080,000)
Contribution $360,000
Contribution margin = $360,000 / $1,440,000 × 100
= 25 %
Projected
Sales ( $12 × 120,000 × 1.10) $1,584,000
Variable Costs :
Selling expenses ($84,000/120,000 × 132,000) ($92,400)
Direct materials ($504,000/120,000 × 132,000) ($554,400)
Direct labor ($169,400/120,000 × 132,000) ($186,340)
Administrative expenses ($55,200/120,000 × 132,000) ($60,720)
Manufacturing Overheads ($267,400/120,000 × 132,000) ($294,140)
Contribution $396,000
Contribution margin = $396,000 / $1,584,000 × 100
= 25 %
Fixed Costs Calculation :
Selling expenses ($210,000 × 60%) $126,000
Administrative expenses ($276,000 × 80%) $220,800
Manufacturing Overheads ($382,000 × 30%) $114,600
Total Fixed Cost $461,400
Break Even Point (Units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit
= $461,400 ÷ ($360,000 ÷ 120,000)
= 153,800 units
Break Even Point (Dollars) = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution Margin
= $461,400 ÷ 0.25
= $1,845,600
Sales to Reached Target Profit = (Fixed Cost + Target Profit) ÷ Contribution Margin
= ($461,400 + $200,000) ÷ 0.25
= $2,645,600
