harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

r = rate of return = 8%

n = number of period = 4 years

P = 8% ( 120,000 ) / [ 1 - ( 1 + 0.08 )^-4 ]

P = 36,230.5

            Dr. Investments in Associates 250,000

            Cr.            Cash                                 500,000

          Dr. Cash                                   10,000

          Cr.            Investments in Associates 10,000

          Dr. Investments in Associates 50,000

          Cr.     Investment revenue                    50,000

Explanation:

The equity method is a type of accounting used to incorporate investments. It is used when the investor holds significant influence over the investee but does not exercise full control over it.

An investor is deemed to have significant influence over an investee if it owns between 20% to 50% of the investee’s shares or voting rights.

- Jolley receives dividends of $10,000, which is 25% of $40,000, and records a reduction in their investment account. The reason for this is that they have received money from their investee.

- Jolley records the net income from Tige Co. as an increase to its Investment account.

Karen and Ethan execute the same roles and responsibilities at their organization. However, Ethan earns more than Karen. Under t
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

The answer is B. Ethan has more experience than Karen.

Explanation:

Now, lets take each Answer option separately and see why only B is correct.

Option A is no longer legally accepted or ethical. Perhaps during the era of segregation back in 1960s' this option could have been acceptable. But today it is illegal and is considered as a violation of basic human rights.

Option C is not correct as well because although people with special needs and physical requirements are entitled to receive certain special treatments, paying them more solely based on their disability is not considered suitable nor ethical.

Option D is unacceptable. No one can assume that men have more stamina than women. There are competent, strong and qualified women who can do their jobs much better than men. So we cannot accept this as an answer.

Option E is incorrect as well. Although a person could be an immigrant, once that person has lawfully taken the citizenship of a country, that "immigrant" is considered as a "citizen" of that country (this is not applicable for illegal immigrants!).

However, we can take option B as the answer. This is because when comparing a new employee with a more experienced employee, we can't see any problem in paying the experienced employee more.
