Answer:

C. Statute of limitations.

Explanation:

Statute of limitations are laws which states the time limit of when legal proceedings must be initiated between concerned parties from the date in which alleged offence was perpetrated.

In statue of limitations, the time limit for somebody is wronged to initiate legal action is not fixed in all jurisdiction. It means that depending on the nature of the alleged offense under statute of limitation, time allowed to institute legal actions varies.

Example of statue of limitation is that for certain states, the time limit to initiate legal case say on fraud is two years. It means that one must bring up the case in a court of law within the stipulated two years period. Once the two year grace elapse, one can no longer sue for fraud in the court of law.

Although there is no time limit for certain offence like murder case, sex offence with minor etc.

As in the case above, the judge threw away the case because according to the law of statute of limitation, a party that is wronged can only sue the wrong doer within the stipulated time as spelt out within the jurisdiction where the alleged offence was committed.

<h2>Yes I keep my feeling controlled by "Intrapersonal intelligence"</h2>

Explanation:

The term "Intrapersonal" intelligence might be something new but it is one of the soft skill which completely talks about "Personal emotions"

It is highly difficult to manage feelings both which are positive and negative in nature but a person who can control the emotions are the best leaders and most successful person. So a person who possess good "intrapersonal" skills will never yell at anyone or hurt anyone at work and will find other possible ways to solve it or pin point about the mistake.

fiasKO [112]

Answer: d. inflation will increase.

Explanation:

The Natural rate of unemployment is the long term rate of unemployment which means that it is the rate associated with the Potential GDP.

If the Actual unemployment is less than this natural rate, it means that the Economy is performing better than the potential GDP. When this is happening, it means that the economy is overheating.

One of the symptoms of an overheated economy is increased inflation as more people can afford to buy goods and services. Inflation is therefore more probably rising in this economy.

On July 1, 2021, Apache Company, a real estate developer, sold a parcel of land to a construction company for $3,000,000. The bo
atroni [7]

Answer:

Revenue 2021 = $3,000,000

Revenue 2022 = $0

Explanation:

Given that,

Sold a parcel of land to a construction company = $3,000,000

book value of the land on Apache’s books = $1,200,000

In this case, revenue is identified at a point when the parcel of land is transferred to the construction company.

Therefore, full revenue from the sale of land should be recognized in the year 2021 because the transfer of land occured in 2021 and there will be no revenue reflected in the year 2022.

Revenue 2021 = $3,000,000

Revenue 2022 = $0

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

cost to WIP at April 30th: 300,000

        materials  240,000

       conversion  60,000

Explanation:

<em><u>Materials equivalent units:</u></em>

Materials are addedirely at the beginning of the process thus, all are at 100%

transferred out - beginning x percentage of completion + ending x % completion

20,000 - 600 x 100% + 2,000 x 100% =

20,000 - 600 + 2,000 = 21,400

equivalent cost per unit: 2,568,000 / 21,400 = 120

Ending WIP: 2,000 units x 100% x 120 = $ 240,000

<u><em>Conversion equivalent units</em></u>

transferred out - beginning x percentage of completion + ending x % completion

20,000 - 600 x 60% + 2,000 x 20%

20,000 - 360 + 400 = 20,040 units

equivalent cost per unit CC: 3,006,000 / 20,040 = $ 150

Ending WIP_ 2,000 units x 20% x $ 150 = $  60,000

Ending WIP: 240,000 + 60,000 = 300,000 accumulated cost.
