Answer:

The answer is: Both parties could win, depending if there were other conditions established for the auction.

Explanation:

Usually when an auction is carried out there are conditions established beforehand by the auctioneer that must be fulfilled in order for the sale to be completed.

In this case, since we don´t know what other conditions the town of Sanford included in the auction, if any other condition at all, we can´t conclude which party could win the lawsuit. For instance if a reserve was required but Arthur and Arlene didn´t do the reserve deposit, then they will obviously lose. The same happens with other established conditions like a minimum price set, etc. But if no other condition established, then Arthur and Arlene could win.

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

C) 4.2 years

Explanation:

The computation of the payback period is as follows;

As we know that

Payback Period = Initial cost ÷ Annual net cash flow

Here

Initial cost = $278000

Annual net cash flow = Incremental after tax + Depreciation per year

where,  

Depreciation per year = (Original cost - Salvage value) ÷ Estimated Life

= ($278,000 - $30,000) ÷ 8 years

= $31,000

Annual net cash flow is

= $35000 + $31000

= $66000

So,

Payback Period is

= $278000 ÷ $66000

= 4.2 Years

<h3>What is an ethical dilemma?</h3>

In philosophy, ethical dilemmas—also known as ethical paradoxes or moral dilemmas—arise when an agent must choose between two competing moral obligations, none of which takes precedence. A definition that is similarly comparable describes ethical situations as ones where there is no right decision to be made.

An ethical problem, also known as a moral problem or ethical paradox, arises when a person must choose between two possibilities, none of which are wholly ethically acceptable.

An ethical conflict is an opposition between two morally righteous actions. A disagreement exists between two values or principles. The problem is that by choosing one correct action, you will invalidate the other right course because you would be acting both rightly and wrongly at the same moment.

kupik [55]

Answer:

(C) $745

Explanation:

The computation is given below:

= $20,000 + $70,000 - $74,700 - $400

= $15,300

So, the bad debt expense is

= Ending account receivable × given percentage

= $15,300 × 5%

= $745
