Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Often financial statements may confuse a potential buyer looking to develop an objective assessment of the company.

  • As part of the assessment phase, a purchaser will review the seller's balance sheet to see if the asset book prices are appropriate.
  • Evaluating a firm is an easy task, culminating in an accurate figure. The aim of assessing an enterprise's worth is to provide a baseline for use in determining the business ' price of the property, by this they attract a potential buyers.

for example, some times companies used to show their asset on the historical prices by this they can manipulate potential buyers.

Which one of the following is NOT one of the arguments against social responsibility as used by economist Milton Friedman?
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

B) Businesses can actually do very little in terms of social responsibility.

Explanation:

Milton Friedman is most famous for the defense of the Chicago School economics which is a neoclassical approach to macroeconomics. He favored free trade, smaller government and a slow but constant growth of the money supply. I personally disagree with neoclassical economists because they have the tendency to mess things up and time proves they are always wrong (that is a biased but positive statement). He was the father of monetarism, but if you look at his last two disciples, George Bush and George W. Bush, the outcome was not positive ⇒ 3 deep recessions in 3 presidential terms.

As a neoclassical economist, Friedman believed and argued in favor of the trickle down in economics. That means that if you allow the rich to get overwhelmingly rich, their riches will spill over to the rest of society. Not because they are good people that like to share their wealth, but because they need workers and employees to keep consuming goods and services in order to get the economy moving. Eventually the spilled over wealth should return to the top. So it is no wonder why he opposed corporate social responsibility, since wasting time and money in the community, employees or the environment was simply a waste of resources that could be used to increase stockholders' wealth.

I understand how theoretically this might work, but it takes the human factor out of the equation and expectations are extremely important in economics, that is why they always fail.

Your auto insurance policy has a $200 monthly premium and $700 deductible. What is the maximum amount you will have to pay out-o
N76 [4]

When you take out an insurance policy your monthly premium is the amount you pay each month to keep your insurance. In this case, the $200 a month premium allows you to file a claim if something were to happen because you are paying for the insurance services. When you set up your premiums they will base your monthly service rates off of your deductible amount if you need to file a claim. The out-of-pocket for a car accident with a deductible of $700 is $700. Once the deductible is paid, the insurance will pay out for the damage.

Answer:

a. -$10,200

b. $40,800

The computation of realized loss is shown below:-

Realized loss = Sales price - Adjusted basis

= $40,800 - $51,000

= -$10,200

Basis for new acquired stock = Purchase price + Disallowed loss

= $30,600 + $10,200
