Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": Holders of future interest own only a reversionary interest.

Explanation:

A life estate is a grant provided by the owner of a property to another individual for his or her lifetime. That individual -called the life tenant, is right to use the property at will bound only to waste. The distinguishing characteristics of the life estate imply that holders of future own revisionary or remainder interest, and that the estate could be created by agreement from private parties or by law under prescribed scenarios.

Darya [45]

Answer:

There will be no recorded change because the equity method comes into play from the acquisition date

Explanation:

In the event that Hawkins Company purchases or acquires another 30 percent of Larker, Inc. to add to their initial 10 percent holding, there will be no change in the investor report. This is because using the equity method, any investor report only starts taking into effect from the day the acquisition was made. Older statements and reports are not tampered with, as the investor did not have up to 40% of the company at that point in time.

Weighted Average Cost Flow Method Under Perpetual Inventory System

Fudgin [204]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the cost od merchandised sold for each sale and the inventory balance after each sale is presented in the attachment below;

The perpetual inventory is the system which updated the inventory as on a regular basis

While on the other hand, the weighted average cost method is the method in which the average cost is calculated after each every purchase is made

In the calculation below:

1. The weighted average cost of $30.90 come from

= (Total inventory cost) ÷ (Total quantity)

= ($180,000 + $1,674,000) ÷ (60,000 units)

= $30.90

1. The weighted average cost of $31.60 come from

= (Total inventory cost) ÷ (Total quantity)

= ($463,500 + $674,100) ÷ (36,000 units)

= $31.60

Given the total fixed-cost curve in gray and the total variable-cost curve in color, draw the total cost curve. Three points on

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

TFC : Horizontal Line parallel to X axis

TVC : Upward sloping inverse S shape curve from origin

TC : Upward sloping increase S shape curve, with Y axis intercept = TFC

Explanation:

Total Fixed cost [TFC] is the total production expenditure, done on fixed factors of production (Eg - on machine, building etc). It is incurred even at zero level of output, stays same (constant) irrespective of output level. So, it's curve is a constant horizontal line.

Total Variable Cost [TVC] is the total production expenditure, done on variable factors of production (Eg - on raw material). It is zero at zero level of output, directly related to level of output thereafter. It first increases at a decreasing rate, then increases at an increasing rate. So, it's curve is inverse S upward sloping curve from origin.

Total Cost [TC] is the total cost incurred on all factors of production (fixed & variable). It is sum of TVC & TFC. As TFC is constant at all levels of output, TC changes due to change in TVC. So, TC is also directly related to output level, first increases at increasing rate & then at decreasing rate. Hence, it is also a inverse S upward sloping curve. But, it also includes constant TFC. So, the curve has intercept on Y axis = TFC (it doesn't start from origin).

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A detailed list of the accounts that make up the five financial statement elements.

Explanation:

The company's chart of accounts is the listing of all the accounts that the company has included as part of the five financial statement elements during a specific period of time.

The five financial statement elements are: assets, liabilities, equity (part of the balance sheet), expenses and revenues (part of the income statement).

Examples of accounts that can be part of a firm's chart of accounts are: land (asset), cash (asset), notes payable (liabilities), outstanding stock (equity), operating expenses (expenses), and sales revenue (revenues).

The chart of accounts can differ greatly from company to company simply because companies engage in vastly different economic activities.
