Injuries during working hours at a construction site leads to several legal consequences. If a person gets injured at working site, he/she can file civil law suit for negligence or product liability.
In the above situation, Flo was not wearing any safety wear while working on the construction site of a Grider company. She can file a product liability suit against the Girder company.
The company can most successfully raise the defense of "negligence". Since Flo was not wearing any safety wear during her working hours, the company can raise the defense of negligence because she knew that working on construction site without wearing safety gears may cause harm to her.

Dozier and his wife, daughter, and grandson lived in the house Dozier owned. At the request of the daughter and grandson, Pascha
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: Yes

Explanation: In the above case, a quasi-contract was formed. This is when a bilateral contract is not in place but one party will enjoy the benefit of the activities of the other party and may be enriched  by it.  

A bilateral agreement is the exchange of a promise for another and in this case would have been, the promise that Dozier would pay for Paschall’s work. This was not established, however, Dozier will benefit from Paschall’s work unduly if he does not pay for the improvements. The law holds that he has to pay for Paschall’s work to prevent being unjustly enriched.

A company can choose to use FIFO inventory costing methods for the financial statement and can elect to use either LIFO or FIFO
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

A. True.

Explanation:

Companies can and often do use different costing methods for financial reporting and tax reporting. The only exception is when LIFO is used for tax reporting; in this case the IRS requires that it also be used in financial statements.

LIFO assigns the highest amount to cost of goods sold - yielding the lowest gross profits and net income , which also yields a temporary tax advantage by postponing payment of some income tax.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Direct Labor Rate Variance  =  $825 favorable

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance  =  $510 favorable

Total Direct Labor Spending Variance = $1,335 favorable

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

Direct Labor Rate Variance

= (Standard rate  - Actual rate) ×  Actual hours

= ($10.20 - $16,005 ÷ 1,650 labor hours) × 1,650 direct labor hours

= ($10.20 - $9.7) × 1,650 direct labor hours

= $825 favorable

Direct Labor Efficiency Variance

= (Standard Hours allowed - Actual hours) × Standard rate

= (1,700 units × 1 hour - 1,650 hours) × $10.20

= (1,700 hours - 1,650 hours) × $10.20

= $510 favorable

Total Direct Labor Spending Variance

= Standard cost - actual cost

= 1,700 hours × $10.20 - $16,005

= $17,340 - $16,005

= $1,335 favorable

On January 1, 2019, Woodstock, Inc. purchased a machine costing $40,000. Woodstock also paid $1,000 for transportation and insta
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

D. $6,000

Explanation:

The book value of a new asset includes the purchase price and other related costs that make it ready for use. For Woodstock company, the book value of the new machine will be the buying price of 40,000 plus 1000 transport costs.

Book value = $41,000

The straight-line depreciation method charges equal amounts throughout the life of the asset.

The depreciable amount = asset value - salvage value

=$41,000 - $5000

=$36,000

The depreciation rate = 1/6 x 100

=16.66 %

Annual depreciation = 16.66% x $36,000

=16.66/100 x $36,000

=0.16667 x $36,000

=$6,000

The following information is provided for Slickers, Inc. for year 2016: • Preferred stock, 5%, $20 par value, 1,500 shares issue
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The amount of dividends paid to common stockholders in 2016 is $4000

Explanation:

The cumulative preferred shares are the shares that accumulate dividends in case the dividends on these shares are not paid or paid partially in a year. The accumulated dividends will need to be paid first whenever the company declares dividends.

The amounts of dividends on preferred share for one year is,

Dividends - Preferred shares = 20 * 0.05 * 1500  =  $1500

Thus, the accumulated dividends on these preferred shares at start of 2016 is,

Accumulated dividends - Preferred shares = 1500 * 3 = $4500

The common shares holders are paid after the preferred share holders have been paid. This means that we will deduct the amount of accumulated dividends on preferred shares and the dividends for this year on preferred shares from the total dividends to calculate the amount to be paid to common share holders as dividends.

Common stock dividends =  10000 - (4500 + 1500)   = $4000
