Answer:

d. II and IV.

Explanation:

Since the investor has been making payments into a variable annuity for the last 20 years and decides to annuitize and selects a straight-life payout. The following statements would be true;

a. the investment risk is assumed by the customer.

b. the amount of the payment to the customer is not guaranteed.

An annuity is an agreement between an investor (contract owner) and an insurance company, where he or she gives a lump-sum of money to the insurer and in return receives regular disbursements, either immediately or some time in the future. It offers the following covers, legacy planning, primary protection, healthcare costs, lifetime income etc.

Annuities are generally classified into two (2) categories mainly; Fixed and Variable annuities.

Under the variable annuity, the investment risk is assumed by the customer (investor) unlike what is obtainable in the fixed annuity.

Ultimately, the performance of the separate account impacts the amount of the payment. Thus, the payment might decrease, increase, or even remain the same since the amount of the payment to the customer (investor) isn't guaranteed.

Your lease calls for payments of $500 at the end of each month for the next 12 months. Now your landlord offers you a new 1-year
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Change in Net worth= $133.62

Explanation:

The two lease options require  that the leasee ( the tenant) commit himself to pay a series of equal amount of rent installment at the different time period in the future.

These series of equal periodic cash flows occurring in the future  are called annuities.  

To have a meaningful comparison, the two annuities should be compared based on their present values. So we compute the present value of the two using the formula below:

Present Value (PV) =( A × (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

Option 1:Current lease

PV = 500 × 1-(1+0.05)^(12)

    = 500 ×  8.863251636

    = $4,431.62

Option 2: New Offer

This will be done in two steps:

PV of lease in year 3

PV =700 × (1-(1+0.05)^(-9))

     = 700 × 7.107821676

     =4,975.47

PV of lease in year 0

PV = FV × (1+r)^(-3)

     =4,975.47 × 0.8638

     =$4,298.00

My net worth would change by the amount of the difference between the two PV of the two annuities:

Difference in PV = $4,431.62-$4,298.00

      Change in Net worth= $133.62

The accountant for Eva's Laundry prepared the following unadjusted and adjusted trial balances. Assume that all balances in the
amm1812

Answer:

See the errors identified below.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The following errors can be identified in the accountant's adjusting entries:

1.The accountant debited the account receivable for $5,000 (i.e. $23,250 - $18,250 = $5,000) without crediting laundry revenue.

Therefore, we should have:

Correct amount of laundry revenue = Laundry revenue in trial balance + (Adjusted account receivable - Unadjusted account receivable) = $182,100 + ($23,250 - $18,250) = $187100

2. The accountant debited laundry suppliers expense instead of crediting laundry suppliers for $3,000.

3. The the accountant credited Prepaid insurance for $3,600 (i.e. $5,200 - $1,600 = $3,600). However, the insurance expense was debited for $600.

4. Instead of crediting accumulated depreciation, the laundry equipment for depreciation expense was erroneously credited by the accountant for $13,000.

5. A debit of $1,000 to wages expense was not made by the accountant.

<u>Additional Note:</u>

After correcting the errors identified above, the correct adjusted trial balance will look as the one in the attached photo.
