Answer: 1. statement d

2. statement d

Explanation:  This can be explained as follows :-

Lang Co. issued bonds with detachable common stock warrants. Only the warrants had a known market value. The sum of the fair val
12345 [234]

Answer: discount on bonds payable

Explanation:

Based on the information given, since the sum of the fair value of the warrants and the face amount of the bonds exceeds the cash proceeds, then the excess will be reported as the discount on bonds payable.

The discount on the bonds payable occurs in a scenario whereby the bonds are issued for a lesser amount than their face or their maturity amount.

The reason for this is when the bonds have a stated interest rate that is smaller than market interest rate for similar bonds.

Consider two markets: the market for cat food and the market for dog food. The initial equilibrium for both markets is the same,
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 0.95

Explanation:

From the question, we have:

New quantity supplied of dog food = 107.0

Old quantity supplied of dog food = Initial equilibrium quantity = 21.0

New price = $8.75

Old price = Initial equilibrium price = $1.50

Generally, the formula for calculating the elasticity of supply is as

follows:

Elasticity of supply = Percentage change in quantity supplied / Percentage change in price ................ (1)

Where, based on the midpoint formula, we have:

Percentage change in quantity supplied of dog food = {(New quantity supplied of dog food - Old quantity supplied of dog food) / [(New quantity supplied of dog food + Old quantity supplied of dog food) / 2]} * 100 = {(107.0 - 21.0) / [(107.0 + 21.0) / 2]} * 100 = 134.375%

Percentage change in price = {(New price - Old price) / [(New price + Old price) / 2]} * 100 = {(8.75 - 1.50) / [(8.75 + 1.50) / 2]} * 100 = 141.463414634146%

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 134.375% / 141.463414634146% = 0.94989224137931

Approximated to 2 decimal places, we have:

Elasticity of supply for dog food = 0.95

Tuller wants to start a commercial trucking business and also wants to form his own limited liability company (LLC). Tuller, as
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

d, all states, as no state requires at least two members to create an LLC

Explanation:

The requisite of two members to create an LLC was removed from all states in the USA. Now, all states allow a single-member LLC. Massachussets was the last one to eliminate that requisite in 2003.

Maybe this change in laws was because owners cheated on that requisite by placing as the two members (owners) a man and his wife, or a woman and her husband, or some other person (in direct relation with the owner) which was just placing the name but the company actually belonged to only one member.

A professional basketball players' union negotiates a contract that dramatically increases all players' salaries. How would this
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

B) It would increase the opportunity cost of becoming a broadcaster.

Explanation:

Opportunity costs are defined as the cost of choosing one alternative activity or investment over another.

The basketball player has two options, he can continue to play for an NBA team with a much better salary, or he can decide to become a broadcaster. If the player decides to quit basketball, then he will lose more money due to pay raise. That amount of money that he will lose if he decides to become a broadcaster is the opportunity cost of becoming a broadcaster. Since the pay increase raised the player's salary, the opportunity cost of becoming a broadcaster also increases.
