A legal obligation that involves repaying a debt is called a Liability.

Q 1.1: An owner who wants to have limited liability should form which type of business enterprise?

ycow [4]

Answer:

A corporation

Explanation:

A business is an agency–typically a group of individuals or a firm–allowed by the government to operate as a single body (a legal entity) and recognized as being for other functions of law.

Early constituted institutions were created by charter (i.e. through an arbitrary act issued by a sovereign or enacted by a statute or house of commons).

Corporations come in various forms but are typically separated by the statute of authority in which they are subcontracted on the grounds of two dimensions: that they are willing to issue securities or if they are founded to turn a profit.

An investor purchased 100 shares of stock X at \small 6\frac{1}{8} dollars per share and sold them all a year later at 24 dollar

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

option (C) 280%

Explanation:

Number of shares of stock X purchased = 100

Purchasing cost of share = $\$6\frac{1}{8} =\frac{49}{8}$

Selling cost of stocks = $24 per share

Brokerage paid = 2%

Now,

The total purchasing cost involved = $100\times\frac{49}{8}$ + 2% of $100\times\frac{49}{8}$

= 612.5 + 0.02 × 612.5

= $624.75

also,

Total income from sales of stocks

= Total selling cost of shares - brokerage paid

= $24 × 100 - 2% of Total selling cost

= $2400 - ( 0.02 × $2400 )

= $2400 - $48

= $2,352

now,

The investor's percent gain on this investment = $\frac{\textup{Income-invested amount}}{\textup{Invested amount}}\times100\%$

= $\frac{\textup{2,352 - 624.75}}{\textup{624.75}}\times100\%$

= $\frac{\textup{1727.25}}{\textup{624.75}}\times100\%$

= 276.47% ≈ 280%

Hence, the correct answer is option (C) 280%

Giving the following information:

Cost Machine Hours

March $3,106 15,176

April 2,668 9,558

May 2,892 11,947

June 3,538 17,899

<u>To calculate the variable cost under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (3,583 - 2,668) / (17,899 - 9,558)

Variable cost per unit= $0.10
