Answer:

B. Increases the expected present value of lease cash flows to the owner

Explanation:

A lease option gives a right but not the obligation to the renter of the property to buy the said property at today's current market price upon the expiry of lease term.

Lease option is similar to an option contract, the difference being, here instead of securities, leased property serves as the underlying asset and instead of option premium, the renter pays a premium each year in addition to the rental charges.

Lease cash flows refer to the present value of future cash flows which the lessor/owner receives in the form of lease rentals plus the added premium each year.

The more the benefits under lease option clause, the higher the premium charged and thus, more would be the future receipts of owner which would increase the expected present value of lease cash flows to the owner.

Answer:

The amount to be repot is $1,450,000

Explanation:

in this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of selling expenses to be recorded in the company’s consolidated income statement for that year.

To answer this question, we employ a mathematical approach;

Mathematically;

Selling expenses = Total expenses - Contra Expenses

from the question, we identify that total expenses is (1,100,000 + 400,000) = $1,500,000

Contra expenses = $50,000

The selling expenses is thus; 1,500,000 - 50,000 = $1,450,000

stepan [7]

Answer:

Forecasted sales: 25% maximum reduction.

Recommendations: try new ways to increase sales during the months left, or reduce its own cost.

Explanation:

  • If sales usually increase between March 1 and June 30, and this period accounts for 50% of annual revenue, if revenue is proportional to sales, a reduction in sales will reduce revenues.
  • Between March 1 and June 30 there are 4 months.
  • If sales usually pick up in March and this year they were low until the beggining of May, it means that  only 2 of the 4 most productive months were higly productive.
  • If 50% of sales are concentrated in this 4 months, and this year 2 of the 4 months were not really productive, a maximum 25% of sales (and hence of revenues) may have lost.
  • Therefore, revenues may lower by 25% this year.
  • To avoid losses, it is advisable to try new ways to increase sales during the months left, that can consist on doing some advertisement and promotions (related to health care linked to exersice for example), that helps increasing sales in the months left, to compensate the looses of the 2 months. If sales cannot be increased, it is advisable to reduce cost to avoid further looses.

muminat

Answer: C) a tend-and-befriend strategy.

Explanation:

The Tend and Befriend strategy is a relatively new theory that tries to explain another way humans respond to stress.

Recent studies have shown that women are the main proponents of this theory because while men would rather prefer a 'Fight or Flight' approach, women can reduce stress faster when going by this theory as they are more likely to nurture and tend to their offspring as well as rely on their close ones as a support system who they can lean on in hard times.

Debra was stressed by her job and went to talk to her friend about it. It could be said therefore that Debra's friend is her support system. Also notice how Debra is now laughing which shows a reduction in stress has talen place thereby confirm this theory.
