Answer:

The fair value of the assets of the identifiable assets of Thompson company are $38 million and the fair value of identifiable liabilities is $6 million. So if we were to find the value of Thompson company just on the basis of identifiable assets and identifiable liabilities we would subtract the identifiable liabilities from the identifiable assets.

38-6= $32 million.

This means that on the basis of Identifiable assets and identifiable liabilities the value of Thompson company is $32 million but they Anderson Company $ 30 million for the company which means that the company has a negative goodwill. The negative good will is the price paid - the fair value.

30 million - 32 million = -2 million

This means that Anderson Company will record -2 million as negative goodwill and this implies a bargain purchase which means Anderson company will record this 2 million as a gain on their income statement.

lutik1710 [3]

The answer is: c) dates peaks and troughs only after the fact.

This mean that millions of dollar spents by the Bureau cannot necessarily used to address the economic problems that people currently face.

One argument to counter such criticism is that the data from the Bureau could be used to make future predicitons and prevent any mistakes in the past from occuring again in the future.

True or False? The United States does not have publicly financed health insurance specifically for the unemployed.
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The United States has no single nationwide system of health insurance.

In the event that an employed worker's spouse loses his/her job to lay-off, the insurance premium financed by the active worker for this family coverage should provide basic health benefits to unemployed workers and their dependents because government does not provide for such category of active group except for senior citizens.

Health insurance is purchased in the private marketplace or provided by the government to certain groups. Private health insurance can be purchased from various organizations such as profit commercial insurance companies or from non – profit insurers.
