Answer:

The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Note receivable is a promissory note with a written promise made by the borrower to the lender (payee) to pay a certain, definite sum at a specified date.

The interest expense on the notes is calculated as: Principal x Interest Rate x Time

In this case, the total interest expense is $5,000 x 12%/12 x 1.5 months = $75.

Therefor, total debit to interest expense is $75.

Answer:

The correct answer is D)

Explanation:

The amount borrowed is an expense to Sawyer Co. Therefore it has to be recorded as a credit transaction in their Interest Expense Account by the interest on the $5,000 that was borrowed.

The interest on the $5,000 is calculated by apply the rate (12%) on $5,000.

= 5000(12/100)

= 50*12

= $600

The actual amount is gotten by dividing the interest by 12 months and multiplying by a month and a half (45 days) assuming that a month is 30 days.

= (600/12)1.5

= $50 * 1.5

= $75

The principle of double-entry in accounting states that you must always credit any increase in liability and debit a decrease in an amount due to another.

Smith is a CPA. His neighbor, Jones, asks him to prepare his tax return. Jones and Smith are casual friends. Smith prepares the
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Jones is liable to pay.

He is liable to pay to the tune of $1000. This may be negotiated however if it is not fair.

Explanation:

See the following points

  • The question above is an example of Implied At-law contracts. (We will get to the definition of this in a bit).
  • A contract is a legally binding agreement that recognises and governs the rights and duties of the parties to the agreement. A contract is legally enforceable because it meets the requirements and approval of<u> the Law</u>. From the above definition it is clear that two people may actually be engaging  in a contract without knowing it.
  • The law defines that a contract is.
  • Contracts may be Express or Implied.
  • Express contracts are simply contracts that are stated expressly, or openly, in either writing or orally, at the time of contract formation.
  • Implied contracts are created when two or more parties have no written contract.
  • There are two types of implied contracts:

  1. Implied In-Fact Contracts: these are contracts which create an obligation between the parties based on the facts of the situation. For example, assume your neighbor hires you to wash his car every Friday for the entire holidays. You wash your neighbor’s car for the first four weekends of the holidays and get paid on Friday morning each time. The fifth Friday you wash the car and when you arrive at your neighbor’s house for your pay, your neighbor refuses to pay you.                                           The law will infer that there is a contract between you and your neighbor, even though you never put anything in writing. This is an implied in-fact contract.

       2. The other type of Implied contract is that which is Implied At-Law

In the case between Jones and Smith, the law imposes a duty to perform a contract, and will enforce such a contract even against a person’s will, where the situation is such that without this legal intervention, one party would be <u>unfairly enriched</u> or advantaged by another party’s action.

  • In the question above, Smith is a CPA. He is qualified in every respect to carry out Professional Tax services. His services may be relied upon with a great degree of confidence.
  • If Jones had not filed those tax returns, he probably would have lost monies that should have accrued to him from the government.

This type of agreement is also considered a quasi-contract. A quasi-contract occurs where the law imposes an obligation upon the parties where in fact the parties did not intend to enter into a contract and made no promise to perform.

However, because one party would be unjustly enriched by another party’s action, the beneficiary of those actions must make restitution or pay fair value for the services provided, even though there was never any intention to enter into an agreement.

Cheers!

svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

This implies that bus is an inferior good and car is a normal good.

Explanation:

Initially, Jim's income was $5000 a year.

As his income increases to $60,000 a year, he decides to buy a car instead of using the bus.  

In other words, with the increase in income, the demand for traveling by bus is declining.  

This implies that it is an inferior good.  

The demand for the car is increasing with an increase in income.  

So, the car is a normal good.  

An inferior good can be defined as a product that shows negative elasticity. This means with an increase in income its demand declines an vice versa.

A normal good can be defined as a product that shows positive income elasticity. That is, its demand increases with rise in income and vice versa.

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

market penetration

Explanation:

According to my research on different business strategies, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this is a market penetration growth strategy. Selling more of an established product or service to customers that already purchase the product is a market penetration growth strategy. This is the case as long as the product is not newly developed.
