Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Imperfect information refers to a situation in which both the parties (i.e buyer and seller) have different information. For example; In a market of second hand car industry, the buyer have less information about the car as compared to the seller. In this type of industry, the seller have more information about the condition and quality of used car.

In our case, the seller of antique have more information about the product, so this will lead to give a disadvantage to a potential buyer of antique.

Answer:

D. imperfect information; disadvantage

Explanation:

Imperfect Information is when parties in a transaction don't have fairly equal information about the quality of the product. This usually refers to when sellers have more information than buyers.

Eg : In case of second hand cars, sellers have more information about the real quality of car & buyers can only anticipate it.

Buyer anticipates the quality of good/ service,  based on his / her evaluation about distribution of various quality of goods in the total range. However, this anticipation is subject to errors because of the 'imperfect information' he / she has, on the basis of which he / she decides. So, he/ she might pay more for a low quality good & hence might end at a disadvantage.

umka21 [38]

Explanation:

Over the past several decades, advances in technology, greatly reduced the cost of making computers which resulted in the decline of the equilibrium price of  computers and also resulted in increased equilibrium quantity. The reduction in the computer prices also caused an increase in the consumer surplus.

computer price down -> equilibrium price down

computer price down -> equilibrium quantity up

computer price down -> consumer surplus up

Huprey Co. is the defendant in the following legal claims. For each of following claims, does Huprey (a) Record liability, (b) D
const2013 [10]

Answer:

a) Disclose in the notes

b) no Disclosure

c) Record a liability

Explanation:

There are three scenarios to be considered

1) It is reasonably possible that Huprey will lose a pending lawsuit. The loss cannot be estimable

First, premise is that Huprey Co. is facing a lawsuit and the possibility of a loss is most possible. If Huprey Co is able to recognize the amount of loss, then he would have been able to record a liability but the inability to estimate the loss means, the company can o<u>nly make appropriate disclosure in notes</u>

2)Huprey is being used for damages of $2 million. It is very unlikely (remote) that Huprey will lose the case.

This second premise is also a lawsuit on damages for $2 million, however, it is most reasonably acceptable that Huprey will win the lawsuit. As such there is no loss, that way there will be no disclosure in Huprey Co's books.

3.  Huprey can reasonably estimate that a pending lawsuit will result in damages of $1.25 million, it is probable that Huprey will lose the case.

The probability of losing a case means that there will be a loss to be recorded in the books and since the damages are already estimable to be $1.25 million. Huprey Co should record a liability

If a payback period for a project is greater than its expected useful life, the ___________.
just olya [345]

Answer: d. Entire initial investment will not be recovered.

Explanation:

The Payback period by definition is the amount of time it will take a Project to recover the initial investment into it. For example, if a project had an investment of $20 million and made $5 million every year, the Payback period would be 4 years.

Now, if the amount of time it will take to recover an investment is longer than the expected amount of time the project will run (expected useful life) then logically speaking that would mean that the Investment would not be entirely recovered because the project will be done before it can pay off the investment hence Option D is correct.
