Answer:

y=-1/4x+9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Get slope of the line first (to find slope that is perpendicular, get the negative reciprocal)

4 turns into -1/4

To get the y-intercept, plug in the given coordinate values into this formula:

y=mx+b

3=-3(-1/4)+b

3-3/4=b

b=9/4

b is our y-intercept

9/4 is our y-intercept

keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, let's check for the slope of the equation above

y = 4 + x\implies y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{1}x+4\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll}\cline{1-1}slope-intercept~form\\\cline{1-1}\\y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}}\\\\\cline{1-1}\end{array}

so therefore

\stackrel{~\hspace{5em}\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}~\hspace{5em}} {\stackrel{slope}{1\implies\cfrac{1}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{reciprocal}{\cfrac{1}{1}} ~\hfill \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{-\cfrac{1}{1}\implies -1}}

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -1 and passes through (-3 , 3)

(\stackrel{x_1}{-3}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad \qquad \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies -1 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{3}=\stackrel{m}{-1}(x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-3)}) \\\\\\ y-3=-(x+3)\implies y-3 = -x-3\implies y = -x

The Parry Glitter Company recently loaned $300,000 to FIX 92, a local radio station. The radio station signed a noninterest-bear
melomori [17]

Answer:

The Parry Glitter Company

The Parry Glitter Company should record the Notes Receivable as $300,000.

It should also record the interest receivable per year as $24,000 and the advertising cost as $24,000 per year.  These bring into the accounting records the interest revenue and also the advertising expense, which eventually cancel each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Notes Receivable = $300,000

If the notes receivable are repaid at the end of 3 years and it is assumed that the interest on the notes receivable = 8%

Therefore, the cost of the free advertising will be equal to $24,000 ($300,000 * 8%), which is the cost of the interest to the radio station.
