Describe the characteristics of sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited partnerships, and joint ventures

Business

Answer:

The characteristics of each business types are given below:      

Explanation:

<u>Sole Proprietorship</u> is the type of business in which the liability is limitless. Due to this issue, the owner is solely responsible to pay off the debts of company from his personal owned assets if the business goes bankrupt.

<u>Partnership</u> is just like sole proprietorship but here the partners are the only responsible persons to payoff the debt of the company because the liability is limitless. The burden of the company debts is equally shared among the partners.

<u>Limited Partnership</u> is less risky because the liability is limited and only the amount invested in the business is subjected to the payment of borrowings from the lenders. The limited partner is responsible for his actions which means if his misdeed resulted in fine then it would be paid from his share first and then the other partners are equally liable for compensation if their is still any amount left. The resources of all the partners help to grow the business and the best resource here is the partner's knowledge in the core operation of the business.

In the case of <u>Joint Venture</u>, two or more than two limited liability companies jointly invest in a single project by pooling their resources in it to gain maximum benefit out of the business. So as the limited liability companies are the partners in the joint venture, the liability is limited and the burden of the payment of the liability falls on the company partners. So the investor is not subjected to pay the debts of the company because the limited liability company is a separate entity and is solely liable to pay for its debts.

Makovka662 [10]

Answer: The Break-Even Point will reduce from $4,285.71 to $4,125

Explanation:

To get the Break-Even Point we can divide Fixed Assets by the Contribution margin.

The Contribution Margin is the Selling Price minus the Variable Cost.

For Scenario 1 the Break-Even Point will be,

= 15,000 / ( 6 - 2.50)

= $4,285.71

For Scenario 2 the Break-Even Point is,

= 16,500 / 6.5 -2.5

= $4,125

The Break-Even Point for Scenario 2 means that even though the higher Fixed Costs could have led to a higher Break-Even Point, the higher price contributed more than the fixed costs did and led to an ultimately lower Break-Even Point than the first Scenario.

Current Assets              $14 m                                        $14.95 m

Fixed Assets                  $18 m                                        $27 m

Total                               $32 m                                        $41.95 m

Explanation:

For book Value:

Net fixed assets=$18.00 million

Current Liabilities=$7.50 million

net working capital=$6.50 million

Formula:

Net working capital=Current assets-Current Liabilities

$6.50 million=Current assets-$7.50 million

Current Assets=$6.50+$7.50

Current Assets=$14 million

Total Assets=Net fixed assets+Current Assets

Total Assets=$18 m+$14 m

Total Assets=$32 m

For Market Value:

Net fixed assets=$27.00 million

Current Liabilities=$7.50 million

net working capital=$7.45 million

Formula:

Net working capital=Current assets-Current Liabilities

$7.45 million=Current assets-$7.50 million

Current Assets=$7.45+$7.50

Current Assets=$14.95 million

Total Assets=Net fixed assets+Current Assets

Total Assets=$27 m+$14.95 m

Total Assets=$41.95 m

                                     Book Value                          Market Value

Current Assets              $14 m                                        $14.95 m

Fixed Assets                  $18 m                                        $27 m

Total                               $32 m                                        $41.95 m

Oksana_A [137]

Answer: The correct answer is b.$3,050.

Explanation: Clever Computers has a five-day workweek and pays $3,050 each week. The payment will only occur at the end of the workweek when the staff have earned the wages. However, the month ended on Thursday, meaning that the staff have only worked for four-day workweek. They have therefore earned $2,440 (4/5*$3,050) at the end of the month but that payment is not due because the 5-day workweek has not been completed. The complete journals the company would raise would be Debit Wages (overhead) $2,440, Debit Wages receivable $610 and Cr Wages payable $3,050.

When it is next month after the five-day workweek has been completed, the company would Dr Wages Payable $3,050 and Credit Cash $3,050 to make the payment.

slava [35]

Answer:

4.93%

Explanation:

We use the Rate formula shown in the spreadsheet for this question

The time period is represented in the NPER.

Provided that,  

Present value = $1,000 × 105% = $1,050

Assuming figure - Future value or Face value = $1,000  

PMT = 1,000 × 5.3% ÷ 2 = $26.5

NPER = 25 years - 2 years = 23 years × 2 = 46 years

The formula is shown below:  

= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)  

The present value come in negative  

So, after solving this, the yield to maturity is 4.93%

Contact [7]

Answer:

$162,200

The computation of the cost recorded in the asset account is shown below:

= $160,000 - $3,200 + $2,400 + $3,000

= $162,200

The cash discount is computed below:

= List price × cash discount percentage

= $160,000 × 2%
