Answer: D. liable in strict liability based on a manufacturing defect theory.

Explanation: The company can be held liable based on manufacturing defect theory, if it is proved that it was because of a manufacturing defect on that particular toaster that lead to the dead of the boy.

Since the woman's son was electrocuted by the toaster for no apparent reason the company will be held liable for the dead of the boy.

Analyzing Accounts Receivable Changes The comparative balance sheets of Sloan Company reveal that accounts receivable (before de
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Cash was collected from customers during the year was $ 104,100

Explanation:

Sales revenue = $120,000

Bad debt expense = 2.5% of sales

Therefore,  Bad debt expense = $120,000 x 2.5% = $3,000

Thus, allowance for uncollectible accounts should have increased by $3,000. But it increased by $2,100.

Therefore, uncollectible accounts receivable of $900 ($3,000 - $2,100) were written off during that year.

Cash collected from customers  = Sales revenue - Increase in accounts receivable - Uncollectible accounts written off

= $120,000 - $15,000 - $900

= $104,100

IRR is 3.03%

Find attached

Explanation:

The cash paid for the investment is the present  value of all cash flows including coupon and face  value promised by the bond discounted using the yield to maturity of 3.03%

=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)

rate is the yield to maturity of 3.03%

nper is the number of annual coupon  payments receivable by bondholders which is 10

pmt is the annual coupon=$100*5%=$5

fv is the face value of $100

=-pv(3.03%,10,5,100)=$116.78  

Price after four years means that there are only six years left to maturity,hence, nper changes to 6

=-pv(3.03%,6,5,100)=$110.66
