Answer:

Sometimes following a disaster, a boil water alert is issued for areas connected to mains scheme water because the mains water may be unsafe to drink or cook with.

If a boil water alert has been issued, it is essential you follow this warning to prevent illness.

To prepare water for drinking and food preparation, you should heat the water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute using a stove or kettle and then allow it to cool. This will help to kill any bacteria.

Be sure to keep children clear from any boiling water until the water has cooled down to room temperature.

Once it has cooled it should be placed in the fridge in a clean container with a lid.

Under no circumstances should you drink or cook with water that has not been boiled until the alert is lifted.

Alternatively you can use bottled water.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

$162,500

Explanation:

Depletion is used to expense the cost of extracting natural resources.

Depletion expense = (unit extracted in 2017 / total units that could be extracted) x (Cost- salvage value)

(1,500,000 / 12,000,000) x ( $1,500,000 - $200,000) = 0.125 × 1,300,000 = $162,500

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is Inductive reasoning.

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning is a form of reasoning in which the truth of the premises supports the conclusion, but does not guarantee it. A classic example of inductive reasoning is:

All the crows observed so far have been black
Therefore, all crows are black

In principle, it could be that the next crow observed is not black. In contrast to deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning has the advantage of being expansive, that is, the conclusion contains more information than is contained in the premises. Given its expansive nature, inductive reasoning is very useful and frequent in science and in everyday life. However, given its fallible nature, its justification is problematic. When are we justified in making an inductive inference, and concluding, for example, that all crows are black from a limited sample of them? What distinguishes a good inductive argument from a bad one? These and other related problems give rise to the problem of induction, whose validity and importance has continued for centuries.

Using the following information: 12/31/17 Accounts receivable $526000 Allowance (35700 ) Cash realizable value $490300 During 20

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

The change in the cash realizable value from the balance 12/31/17 to 12/31/18 was $37,840 increase.

Explanation:

Cash realizable value of accounts receivable is simply the amount that is deemed recoverable after factoring the portion that is uncollectible.

The effects of the transactions during the year are as follows:

Sales on account:

Debit Accounts receivable $145,400

Credit Sales revenue $145,400

(To recognize the sales on account)

Collections on account:

Debit Cash $100,000

Credit Accounts receivable $100,000

(To recognize collections on account)

Write-off:

Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $3,960

Credit Accounts receivable $3,960

(To recognize write-off of outstanding accounts receivable)

Therefore, the effects of the foregoing journals on Accounts receivable are: $526,000 + $145,400 - $100,000 - $3,960 = $567,440.

As at 12/31/18, cash realizable value would be $567,440 - $39,300 = $528,140. The change in the cash realizable value from the balance at 12/31/17 to 12/31/18 was therefore $528,140 - $490,300 = $37,840 (increase).
