Why is active voice generally preferable for business messages?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>Active voice gives the idea that actions are being undertaken and that things will be able to be completed. The passive voice gives the appearance that the tasks are not of high importance and that they'll only be completed if the time allows or if the person is interested in completing them. Active voice allows for the belief that the task is important and the result will be high-priority to the listener(s).</span>

Huprey Co. is the defendant in the following legal claims. For each of following claims, does Huprey (a) Record liability, (b) D

const2013 [10]

Answer:

a) Disclose in the notes

b) no Disclosure

c) Record a liability

Explanation:

There are three scenarios to be considered

1) It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable

First, premise is that Huprey Co. is facing a lawsuit and the possibility of a loss is most possible. If Huprey Co is able to recognize the amount of loss, then he would have been able to record a liability but the inability to estimate the loss means, the company can o<u>nly make appropriate disclosure in notes</u>

2)Huprey is being used for damages of $2 million. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.

This second premise is also a lawsuit on damages for $2 million, however, it is most reasonably acceptable that Huprey will win the lawsuit. As such there is no loss, that way there will be no disclosure in Huprey Co's books.

3. Huprey can reasonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1.25 million, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.

The probability of losing a case means that there will be a loss to be recorded in the books and since the damages are already estimable to be $1.25 million. Huprey Co should record a liability

Andrea invests $5,000 in five Epic Electronics bonds that mature in 10 years. Unexpectedly just the week after she invests, she

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The answer is option C. She may immediately sell the bonds but it is unclear how much money they will sell for.

Explanation:

She may immediately sell the bonds but it is unclear how much money they will sell for.

Investors who hold onto their bonds until maturity are assured of to receive the face value of the bond. In our case, if Andrea would have chosen to hold her $5,000 bond investment for 10 years, she would have been assured the bonds face value, however since she prefers to use the cash to work abroad, she can sell the bonds immediately.

Selling a bond before it's maturity date can either be beneficial or detrimental. This depends on the value of the bond at the time of sale. If at the time of sale the bond would have gained value, then the bond will sell at a higher price than when it was bought. On the other hand, if the bond at the time of sale has lost value, then the bond will sell at a lower price than the price which it was bought.

In our case, the best option for Andrea would be to sell the bonds immediately, since she really needs the cash. If it happens that at the point at which she sells the bonds they will have gained value, then she will have more than $5,000 cash, however, if at the point she decides to sell the bonds they will have lost value, then she will have less than $5,000 depending on how much value was lost from the time she bought the bonds and the time she sold the bonds.

On September 1, 2020, Windsor Company sold at 104 (plus accrued interest) 3,840 of its 8%, 10-year, $1,000 face value, nonconver

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

total sales value = 3,840 x $1,000 = $3,840,000 x 1.04 = $3,993,600

since each bond carried 2 detachable stock warrants, we must include in the bond issuance the value of the stock warrants = 3,840 bonds x 2 warrants x $2 per warrant = $15,360

the premium on bonds payable = total cash received - bonds payable - stock warrants = $3,993,600 - $3,840,000 - $15,360 = $138,240

the journal entry for recording the bond issuance:

September 1, 2020, 3,840 8% bonds issued

Dr Cash 3,993,600

Cr Bonds payable 3,840,000

Cr Premium on bonds payable 138,240
