Answer: Barry must include $6,000 in gross income from discharge of indebtedness

Explanation:

Feom the question above, we are told that Barry embezzled $6,000 from his employer and that even though his employer discovered the theft, the employ did not fire him and told him that he did not have to repay the $6,000 if he attend Alcoholics Anonymous. Barry met the conditions and the employer canceled the debt.

In this case, Barry will have to include the $6,000 he stole in gross income from discharge of indebtedness. The gross income has to do with the sum of the wages, profits, salaries, rents, interest payments, and every other earnings, before the deductions of taxes or other deductions. Since Barry stole the money and.he.has been forgiven, the $6,000 has to be included in the gross income from discharge of indebtedness.

On june 8, williams company issued an $80,000, 5%, 120-day note payable to brown industries. assuming a 360-day year, what is th
lidiya [134]

To calculate the maturity of this note,

we use a simple formula first to get the interest which is:

I = Principal (amount owed) X Interest Rate (%) X Time (length of loan)

The days is only divided by only 360 days instead of 365 days. This is because commercial loans often use 360-day calendar years instead of 365-day calendar years. But not all banks used this as their calendar year,

 

I = Prt

= ($80000) (0.05) (120/360)

= ($80000) (0.01666666666)

I = $ 1,333.33

 

To get the maturity value, the formula is: M = Interest + Principal

M = I + P

= $1,333.33 + $80,000

= $81,333.33 or $81,333, letter C

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Trend analysis.

Explanation:

The trend analysis is the method of analysis that consists in observing the behavior of the different items of the Balance Sheet and the Income Statement, to detect some significant changes that may have their origin in administrative errors.

This method allows us to know the direction and speed of the changes that have occurred in the financial situation of the company over time, so it is considered as a method of horizontal analysis.

It helps us to detect failures; but it is only an exploratory method, so it is always necessary to investigate further to find the causes of the failures. It is necessary to determine the changes suffered in the balances of the financial statement items that we are interested in analyzing. The trend analysis allows us to know the financial development of a company.
