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.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

January $151,575

February $248,675

March $305,525

Explanation:

The computation of the cash collections is shown below:

January month

= January credit sales × month of sale collection percentage

= $202,100 × 75%

= $151,575

February month

= January credit sales × following month collection percentage + February credit sales  × month of sale collection percentage

= $202,100 × 25% + $264,200 × 75%

= $50,525 + $198,150

= $248,675

March month

= February credit sales × following month collection percentage + February credit sales  × month of sale collection percentage

=  $264,200 × 25%+ $319,300 × 75%

= $66,050 + $239,475

= $305,525

Rina8888 [55]

The economic principle of substitution says that when there are two houses in the same neighborhood with the same size, appeal, and utility, the lower-priced one will tend to sell first.

<h3>The economic principle of substitution</h3>
  • According to the principle of substitution, the cost of purchasing a substitute that is just as desired tends to establish the upper limit of value, assuming no inopportune delays.
  • A shrewd investor would not spend more on an asset that generates income than it would cost to construct or buy an asset of a similar nature.
  • According to this theory, the cost of acquiring a comparable substitute property with the same use, design, and revenue determine the maximum value of a property in most cases.
  • For instance, why would somebody pay $1,000,000 for a home when they could pay $750,000 for a different but as appealing home in the same neighborhood?

To learn more about the economic principle of substitution refer to:
