Answer:

B) you make an offer to buy your neighbor's house.

Explanation:

An insurable interest is something (a material or immaterial object) that an individual believes he should obtain insurance to protect himself from unforeseen events such as economic losses, death, etc.

For example, you can obtain insurance for your house or your car (material objects), a bank can obtain insurance for your mortgage (immaterial object), etc.

When you make an offer to buy something, there is nothing (no object) you can insure since you don't own anything yet.

Answer:you make an offer to buy your neighbor's house.

Explanation:

As seen from the aforementioned alternatives which all have insurable interest.Thus they are expantiated;

1)Firstly,a savings and loan company holding a mortgage on your home has an insurable interest on interest of the property on insurance premium.

2)Secondly,your lease makes you liable for fire damage to your rented premises makes for an insurable interest which is in form of mortagee/morgator contract,even if it isn't your property,it makes you liable for an insurable interest.

3)Thirdly,you have custody of a valuable painting when the owner is away also makes you eligible for an insurable interest.Though here as carrier,it still gives the right to an insurable interest courtesy of the fact that it is in your custody.

Finally,you make an offer to buy your neighbor's house doesn't make you eligible for an insurable interest because it's just a matter of a vocal agreement,thus no transaction has been carried out and therefore,no property transferred to your custody either way.

Ket [755]

Answer with Explanation:

The analysis includes the assessment of Non profit organization's efficiency both in fundraising and spending, economy of operations and the effectiveness of the operations. This can be explained with an example. For example if the non profit organization has an objective to increase the book reading habit because it believes that the people who read more are not violent personalities and in this way they can reduce the crime rate. So it has established number of libraries in different communities. Now we will look at at what cost it has acquired these libraries (Economy), how much people have visited these libraries (Efficiency) and whether the crime rate in the community has sufficiently fallen or not (Effectiveness). So this helps in understanding whether the objective was met or not.

However when we analyze the financial statement of profit making organizations then we use many profit and efficiency ratios to assess the performance of the organization. These ratios can also be helpful if the NGO is in business as well. But most of the NGOs rely on grants and these grants are subjective to their previous performance.

The NGOs are also required to publish reports according to the grant provider's enforced accounting principles, rules and guidelines. Just take the example of US-AID program that requires the Non profit organization to publish financial reports in specific format and enforces different Generally Acceptable Principles to be used in preparing these financial reports. So yes it is much more different in analyzing the financial statements of Non profit organization and profit making organization.

Answer:

$671,300

Explanation:

The calculation of adjusted basis in the building is shown below:-

Adjusted basis = Original cost of the property + Cost of capital improvements - Depreciation claimed

= $750,000 + $50,000 - $128,700

= $800,000 - $128,700

= $671,300

Therefore for computing the adjusted basis we simply add original cost of the property with cost of capital improvements and deduct depreciation claimed.
