Answer:

no

Explanation:

According to my research on different hostage cases, I can say that based on the information provided within the question he does not have a valid claim. This is because even though the defendant was being coerced (threatened to do something against their will) the danger that his children were facing was not immediate or present. Therefore in the eyes of the law he had other options like going to the police.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Excerpts from Huckabee Company's December 31, 2021 and 2020, financial statements are presented below: 2021 2020 Accounts receiv
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

71.57 days

Explanation:

For computing the average collection period first we have to determine the account receivable turnover ratio which is shown below:

Account receivable turnover ratio = Credit sales ÷ average accounts receivable

where,  

Average accounts receivable = (Opening balance of Accounts receivable + ending balance of Accounts receivable) ÷ 2

= ($75,000 + $83,000) ÷ 2

= $79,000

And, the net credit sale is $403,000

Now put these values to the above formula  

So, the answer would be equal to  

= $403,000 ÷ $79,000

= 5.10 times

Now

Average collection period in days = Total number of days in a year ÷ accounts receivable turnover ratio

= 365 days ÷ 5.10 times

= 71.57 days

The answer is false, it is because in questionnaires like this, open ended questions are considered valuable, which is true in the statement above but what makes it false, is because of the unambiguous response. An open ended questions should not have unambiguous response for they should be more open and would be engaging and more open not only to the person asking but to the audience as well.
