Answer: duress

Explanation: The legal defense available in this situation is duress. Duress is defined legally as a restraint in which a person is influenced, whether by lawful or unlawful forceful compulsion of their liberty by monition or implementation of physical enforcement; legally for the incurring of civil liability, of a citizen's arrest, or of subrogation, or illegally for the committing of an offense, of forcing a contract, or of using threats. Genuineness of assent is not achieved when parties are forced to agree to something under threat of harm.

Answer:

duress

Explanation:

A contract may not be enforced it any of the parties does not give genuine or real assent, i.e. they freely agree with the contract terms.

Duress happens when one of the parties threatens to do something bad or wrong to the other party in order to force them to enter a contract. Contracts agreed under duress can be invalidated.

inventory Turnover and Days' Sales in Inventory The following financial statement data for years ending December 31 for Holland
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

                                            Year 2014           Year 2013

a) Inventory Turnover ratio 3.4 times  and   3.1 times

b) Number of days' sales in inventory 107.3 days and  117.7 days

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

As we know that

Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory

where,

Average inventory

= (Beginning inventory + ending inventory) ÷ 2

For Year 20Y4 :

Average inventory = ($359,160 + $516,840 ) ÷2

= $438,000

And, the cost of goods sold is $1,489,200

So,

Inventory Turnover ratio

= $1,489,200 ÷ $438,000

= 3.4 times

For Year 20Y3 :

Average inventory = ($251,120 + $359,160) ÷ 2

= $305,140

And, the cost of goods sold is $945,934

So,

Inventory Turnover ratio

= $945,934 ÷ $305,140

= 3.1 times

Now

Number of days' sales in inventory = Number of days in a year ÷ Inventory Turnover ratio

For 20Y4

= 365 days ÷ 3.4

= 107.3 days

For 20Y3

= 365 days ÷ 3.1

= 117.7 days

Basically we applied the above formulas

Carl Carpenter buys a drill press. The price, including tax, is $725.00. He finances the drill press over 24 months after making
netineya [11]
First calculate the amount financed
Amount financed=725−50=675

The formula is
I=(2yc)/(m (n+1))
Solve for c to get
C=(I×m×(n+1))/2y
C=(0.14×675×(24+1))÷(2×12)=98.44

Total of payments=675+98.44=773.44

Monthly payment is
773.44÷24=32.23

Hope it helps!
