Answer: A. Total Assets are overstated as of May 31, 2020 and May 2020 Net Income is overstated
Explanation:
Capitalizing the costs of the maintenance means that the $14,000 was taken to the Machinery Account which is an asset when in fact it should have been taken to the Maintenance Expense account which is an expense. This will increase the Asset account for May by $14,000 when it should not have meaning that the Asset account is now Overstated.
Net Income is acquired by deducting expenses from Sales/Revenue. The $14,000 which should never have been recorded as an Asset but instead as an expense, will mean that this Expense will not be deducted from the Net Income because it is being recognized as an Asset. This will mean that the Net Income for May will be Overstated by $14,000 which was supposed to be removed from it.
Answer:
b. $5m
Explanation:
If we purchase another company for $50m and the company you purchase has assets with a fair value of $75m and liabilities with a fair value of $30m. The amount of goodwill we should record in this transaction is: $5m
Goodwill upon acquisition of companies is derived by subtracting the fair value of NET ASSETS from the TOTAL CONSIDERATION (i.e the price paid to acquire the company)
In the scenario, the value of Net Assets is the value of the fairvalue of the assets less the fair value of the liabilities which is $75 - $30 = $45
While the Total Consideration = $50
Therefore Goodwill = $50m - $45m = $5m

Answer:
The load shedding break-out caught many unsuspecting South African households unaware as little to nothing had been announced about it. Businesses, especially petrol stations without any form of back-up energy were forced to close shop for close to five hours while others quickly cranked their generators to life just to keep the lights and the pumps on. Individual households were not spared either as they were also left in the darkness. The South African Insurance Association is acutely aware of the risks that comes with such intermittent power surges to household appliances.

Answer:
this promise is enforceable only if it is agreed upon in writing

In the scenario described in the question it can be said that this promise is enforceable only if it is agreed upon in writing. This is because by putting it in writing all details of the contract are displayed for both parties to read/analyze and decide whether they actually want to agree to this agreement/contract or not. Once the contract is signed and agreed upon by both parties it can then be completely enforced because both parties knew exactly what they were getting into at the time of signing.
