Answer: (2823, 3417)

Explanation:

The confidence interval for the population mean is given by :-

\mu\ \pm E, where E is the margin of error.

Formula for Margin of error :-

z_{\alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

Given : Significance level : \alpha=1-0.95=0.05

Sample size = 20

\mu=3120

\sigma=677

Critical value : z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.025}=\pm1.96

Margin of error : E=1.96\times\dfrac{677}{\sqrt{20}}\approx 297

Now, the 95% confidence interval for the population mean will be :-

3120\ \pm\ 297 =(3120-297\ ,\ 3120+297)=(2823,\ 3417)

Olegator [25]

Answer:

$4,522

Explanation:

As the restaurant is not acquired so the amount of $28,000 would be non-deductible

Also if the expenses is incurred so the maximum deduction allowed is in excess of $50,000 is $5,000

Now

= $51,000 - $50,000

= $1,000 reduction

And,  

= $5,000 - $1,000

= $4,000 deduction

Now

= $51,000 - $4,000

= $47,000

Now

= $47,000 ÷ 180 months

= $261 × 2 months

= 522

Now total deduction is

= $4,000 + $522

= $4,522

For this assignment, think of three items you personally have that involve a security. If you do not actually have any security
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Consider the following explanation

Explanation:

List the three items you chose.

My Car

My Land

My Air Conditioning Machine

For each of the three items, explain if and when attachment occurred.

My Car: I bought my car in 2015 from one of the local dealers. The Creditors can also use my car that currently as collateral. The car registration book has my name inscribed on it hence I own the vehicle. In the event of a need for credit, the creditors would lend me money worth the car. An attachment would occur when I sign the creditor’s contract with the bank in the condition of the car as the security.

My Land: Apparently I was deemed the legal owner of the land because I possessed an authenticated original title deed pertaining to the land with my name written on it. I signed the security agreement or the credit contract and as such the bank gained interest in the collateral hence attachment.

My AC: For the AC, a similar procedure has to happen in a secured credit transaction. Given that, I have all the receipts about the AC, I can use it as collateral. The creditors can lend an equivalent value to the AC. To seal the security agreement, I would sign the credit contract hence an attachment.

For each of the three items, explain if and when perfection occurred.

According to Distenfield & Distenfield (2005), the perfection of a security interest is the act of ascertaining one’s interest in a collateral hence preventing other parties from creating an attachment to the same collateral. Such parties would include other creditors and bankruptcy trustee among others. For the land, the creditor would perfect its interest by possessing the title deed pertaining to the land. Alternatively, the creditor would perfect its interest in the land collateral by filing a financial statement with the necessary public office. Just like the land, the creditor can possess the car's registration book hence perfection. Lastly, the creditor possesses the AC collateral hence perfecting in the collateral.

Explain the priority each of the creditors would have if you defaulted on your promise to pay

In an event of my failure to pay the already secured credit transaction, the creditor would obtain the collateral in lieu of the payment. The priorities of the creditors should only pick the items listed as securities and only those he or she has a security interest. For example, the creditor cannot take personal property or the home as collateral if it was not part of credit contractual agreement.
