Answer: If the material is reworked and sold, Hodge Inc. has a financial disadvantage of (- 4500).
Let's see why:
1) If we sell the material at its disposal value: We have a cost of $ 74600 and the income from sale would be $ 57400 =
57400 - 74600 = (-17200). We have a loss of $17200.
2) If we rework the material we will have an original cost of $ 74600, an additional cost for reworking of $ 1500 and the income from its sale would be $ 54400 =
54400 - (74600 + 1500) = (-21700) We have a loss of $ 21700.
Then comparing the 2 situations =
(-21700) - (-17200) = -4500. There is a financial disadvantage of $4,500 if the material is reworked instead of selling it as scrap.
I would say that b is the best answer

Answer: c. 3%
Explanation:
The Insurance company guaranteed that the minimum rate that they will pay their policyholders as 3%. Just because the investments are now drawing only 2.5% due to the economic downtown does not absolve them of this agreement.
They must therefore still pay their policy holders the minimum return guaranteed which is 3%.
