Answer:

This question is incomplete, here are the missing answers:

a. medium of exchange

b. unit of account

c. backed by a precious metal

d. store of value

The answer is c.

Explanation:

Money has three general functions (characteristics):

- medium of exchange - Mainly created as the substitute of barter, money has the elementary use as an intermediary when exchanging goods or services.

- unit of account - In order to compare the value of certain goods and services, it is essential to measure them. This is where money applies as unit of account.

- store of value - Given that the money is stable (purchasing power and limited inflation), it is a general option for storing value. That means it can always be easily exchanged into goods or services, no matter the time.

According to basic elimination, c. is the correct answer. Also, it is also known that backing money with gold or silver reserves is an old practice which is irrelevant for most currencies nowadays. Today, the government is backing up the value of its currency. Such money is called fiat money.

Answer:

Austere Corporation

The amount of the proceeds from the bond that should be recorded as an increase in liabilities is:

= $320,100.

a) Data and Calculations:

The bonds issued = $330,000 at 106

Number of $1,000 bonds issued = 330 ($330,000/$1,000)

Market value of each warrant = $3

Proceeds from issue of bond = $330,000*106% = $349,800

Fair value of warrant issued = 330*30*$3 = $29,700

The bond issue liability = $349,800 - $29,700 = $320,100

Dafna1 [17]

Answer: the correct answer is A) If real property is involved in the sale, the broker (Alison, in this case) usually treats the sale of the business and sale of the land/building as two separate and concurrent transactions with two concurrent and contingent escrows.

Explanation:

The sale of business opportunities may involve the sale of only personal property.

Alison, in dealing with the sale of business opportunities, must remember to inform the purchaser of the various governmental agencies that the purchaser should contact for required permits, licenses, and clearances. These agencies include the IRS, State Board of Equalization, State Department of Benefit Payments, State Department of Industrial Relations, and various other county and municipal agencies.

The sale of a business opportunity includes the business's stock, trade fixtures, and trade name, a competition agreement, and lease assignment. While such a sale also includes the goodwill of a business, a monetary value cannot be placed on the goodwill.
