Answer:

D. The minimum of the range

Explanation:

First, it is essential to note the accrual of loss contingency is accruable only if the amount is estimable to a reasonable extent and the loss is also probable. Wyatt Co's loss is actually both probable and reasonably estimated so it meets the two criteria.

Furthermore, since it is reasonable within a rang of outcomes, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 450 (of the Financial Accounting Standard Board) dictates the amount to be accrued should be the better estimate of all amounts within the range.

The standard further states that in a situation where a better estimate can not be determined among the other amounts within the range then the amount accrued should be the one at the range's low end or the minimum amount of the range.

All these criteria shows that Wyatt CO's loss should accrue the minimum amount in the range

Josh's weekly budget for lunch is $24. He eats only pizza and burgers. Each pizza costs $6 and each burger costs $3. Josh knows
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

The answer is: Josh's utility maximizing point is when he buys 2 pizzas and 4 burgers.

Explanation:

If Josh gets equal marginal utility per dollar spent when buying one pizza and 2 burgers, that means that every pizza and every burger give Josh 10.67 utility unit per dollar spent. So Josh can obtain maximum 16 units of utility with his budget and his purchasing options (= $24 x 0.67 units of utility per dollar). The way he can maximize his utility is by buying two packs of one pizza and two burgers per pack, since every pack will give him 8 units of utility.
