Answer:

4 years

Explanation:

Payback period is the time in which a project returns back the initial investment in the form of net cash flow.

Initial Investment = $280,000

Net Income = $20,000

To calculate the net cash flows add bask the depreciation expense in Net income each year.

Depreciation = ($280,000 - $30,000) / 5 = $50,000

Net Cash Flow = $20,000 + $50,000 = $70,000

Payback period = Initial Investment / yearly cash flow = $280,000 / $70,000 = 4 years

For each of the scenarios below, determine whether the employer is likely to be discriminating against a person because of age:
barxatty [35]

Answer and Explanation:

In the U.S., the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is the authority protecting individuals from discrimination at work in any kind because of <em>race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, nationality, language, sexual orientation, impairment</em> differences or any other type of unfair treatment not related to work itself.

Age discrimination could take place when certain groups of individuals are valued more than others because of their youth or because their white hair represents experience. In any situation, unequal opportunities are given which must be sanctioned. Thus:

A) A young lawyer who just finished work on a multimillion-dollar development deal downtown is hired by an economic development firm in lieu of an older lawyer who works on litigation.  

<em>This example does not represent discrimination because the election is based on performance rather than age. </em>

B) A large retail outlet hires a 30-year-old woman to greet customers instead of an 80-year-old woman who has been greeting customers in other stores for a decade.  

<em>This example reflects discrimination because a younger woman is hired mainly based on her age rather than her expertise. </em>

C) The owner of a local, hip smoothie bar in a university town just fired a graduate student who had worked at the bar for three years and instead hired a college sophomore.

<em>This example represents discrimination since a younger student is hired to replace another student who was in the last year of university.</em>

Mo Meek, Lu Ling, and Barb Beck formed the MLB Partnership by making capital contributions of $75,600, $294,000, and $470,400, r
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

salary allowances of $83,600 to Mo, $62,700 to Lu, and $94,500 to Barb; interest allowances of 10% on their initial capital investments; and the balance shared as follows: 20% to Mo, 40% to Lu, and 40% to Barb.

net income $498,000, total distributions:

  • Mo = $83,600 + (20% x $257,200) = $135,040
  • Lu = $62,700 + (40% x $257,200) = $165,580
  • Barb = $94,500 + (40% x $257,200) = $197,380

First we need to close Income Summary account to each partner's capital account:

December 31, 202x

Dr income summary 498,000

    Cr Mo Meek, capital 135,040

    Cr Lu Ling, capital 165,580

    Cr Barb Beck, capital 197,380

then we close the drawings accounts to the capital accounts of each partner:

December 31, 202x

Dr Mo Meek, capital 39,300

    Cr Mo Meek, drawings 39,300

Dr Lu Ling, capital 53,300

    Cr Lu Ling, drawings 53,300

Dr Barb Beck, capital 69,300

    Cr Barb Beck, drawings 69,300

wel

Answer:

$18,400

Explanation:

A/R                                                               $20,100

Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts         ($1,700)

net realizable value of A/R                             $18,400    

The write off amount is already included in allowance for doubtful accounts on provision basis therefore it can't be separately deducted again.

Ceramic Customs Co. requires a specific type of ceramic to make custom-made tiles. Since only one supplier makes that particular
kramer

Answer:

a. The supplier has more bargaining power than the firm.

Explanation:

This is an example of one of Porters' five forces. The supplier has a monopoly and thus entertains a high market share. This means that the supplier has more bargaining power than the firm as if the firm wants the ceramic there are no alternative options available for the firm; however, if the firm does not want supplies, the supplier can find plenty of firms that may need the ceramic thus making supplier more powerful than the firm.

Hope that helps.
