Answer:

Michone's creditors (listed in order of priority):

  1. bank = $500,000 mortgage (secured loan)
  2. child support = $5,000 (priority class of unsecured creditors)
  3. legal fees = $4,000 (second class of unsecured creditors)
  4. State government* = property taxes for $8,000 (eighth class of unsecured creditors, but property taxes are always collected after a property is sold either by foreclosure or by court order). Even if the new buyer didn't know anything about the delinquent property taxes, he/she is responsible for paying them after the sale is made and it cannot be avoided.
  5. car accident victim = $40,000 (tenth class of unsecured creditor)

*Generally taxes owed are a lower class of priority unsecured creditors, but taxes never disappear. In this case, the property taxes are going to be paid by whoever bought the house or the bank in case the house was foreclosed. Michone will not pay them, but someone else will.

Assuming that Michone only had $10,000 left after selling the house (both property taxes and mortgage are paid for), she will need to pay child support first. Child support and alimony payments always have the top priority.

Then with the remaining $5,000 administrative and legal fees will be paid, meaning that the attorney fees will be paid first. The car accident victim will receive only $1,000.

sesenic [268]

Answer:

2 times

Explanation:

The computation of accounts receivable turnover is shown below:-

Account receivable turnover ratio = Net credit sales ÷ Average accounts receivable

where,

Net credit sales is $1,000,000

And, the Average accounts receivable is

= ( $700,000 + $300,000) ÷ 2

= $500,000

Accounts receivable turnover = Net sales ÷ Average accounts receivable

= $1,000,000 ÷ $500,000

= 2 times

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

That low income can be enough because of either one of these two reasons (or the two at the sime time):

  • A high proportion of subsidized good for low-income earners in developing countries: a consumer making $1,000 per year on average could benefit from subsidized food, housing, healthcare, and even transportation, allowing this person to devote most of his income to other expenses.
  • Cheap credit available: this same person could not have enough money to pay for the television in cash, but could easily obtain a credit with low interest rates, and long-term payments.

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost TTT, in dol
andriy [413]

Answer: 2,200 units.

Explanation:

The complete exercise is:

T = 5c + 12 f

A manufacturer shipped units of a certain product to two locations. The equation above shows the total shipping cost T, in dollars, for shipping c units to the closer location and shipping f units to the farther location. If the total shipping cost was $47,000 and 3,000 units were shipped to the farther location, how many units were shipped to the closer location?

Given the following equation:

T = 5c + 12 f

You know that "T" is the total shipping cost (in dollars), "c" is the number of units shipped to the closer location and "f" is the number of units shipped to the farther location.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can identify that, in this case:

T=47,000\\\\f=3,000

Then, knowing those values, you need to substitute them into the given equation:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)

And finally, you must solve for "c" in order to calculate the number of units that  were shipped to the closer location.

You get that this is:

47,000 = 5c + 12(3,000)\\\\47,000-36,000 = 5c\\\\11,000=5c\\\\\frac{11,000}{5}\\\\c=2,200
