Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The journal entry should be:

Dr Investment in Leghorn Corporation XX

    Cr Accounts receivable XX

Explanation:

Foghorn Company must record the noncash payment as an asset which should be equal to the amount of money that it generally would have collected from the services provided. Since the payment is done through stocks, it must record that collection as an investing account.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

B) = $38.44

Explanation:

<em>Activity-based costing is a form of absorption costing where overheads are charged to product using cost drivers. Under this method, overheads are first analyzed and categorized by the activities responsible for them and then charged to product based on the amount of benefits enjoyed using cost drivers.</em>

Activity rate is calculated as:

<em>Activity cost for the period / Total cost drivers for the period</em>

<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers:</em></u>

<em>The appropriate cost driver to allocate supporting customer activity is the number of customers as given.  This is so because it is most likely that the number of customers served will be a major factor that influences the supporting customers activity costs. </em>

<u><em>Activity rate for supporting customers </em></u>

= Supporting customers overhead/total number of customers

= $34,600/(600+300)

= $38.44

<em> </em>2<em>. If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John which will be $80,000</em>

Explanation:

In contributory negligence, the defense completely bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence.

<em>If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained. </em>

<em> </em>

In comparative negligence, the plaintiff's damages is award by the percentage of fault that the fact-finder assigns to the plaintiff for his or her own injury i.e the plaintiff's damage compensation is reduced by percentage of his/her percentage of fault.

<em>If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John</em>

this is 80% of $100,00 which is equal to <em>$80,000</em>
