Buzz Coffee Shops is famous for its large servings of hot coffee. After a famous case involving McDonald’s, the lawyer for Buzz

warned management (during 2014) that it could be sued if someone were to spill hot coffee and be burned. "With the temperature of your coffee, I can guarantee it’s just a matter of time before you’re sued for $1,000,000." Buzz felt the likelihood was remote. Unfortunately, in 2016, the lawyer’s prediction came true when a customer filed suit. After consulting with his attorney, Buzz felt the loss was possible but not likely or probable. The case went to trial in 2017, and the jury awarded the customer $400,000 in damages, which the company immediately appealed. Buzz felt a loss was probable but believed a lower amount could be negotiated. During 2018, the customer and the company settled their dispute for $150,000. What is the proper recording of this liability each year from 2016 through 2018 under GAAP?

Answer:

the proper recording of this liability each year from 2016 through 2018 under GAAP is $150,000.

Explanation:

since the first amount cannot be determinable now, we cannot record it as a liability.

After the settlement of the dispute by the customer and company outside the court the company should record the loss and a liability at an amount of $150,000 because it is certain and determinable now.

Some countries share a common currency (e.g., those that participate in the euro), while some other countries peg their currenci
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The potential of additional regional currencies such as the euro is very important, and for this reason, many economists support the idea. In fact, John Maynard Keynes, one of the most influential economists in history, once proposed not a regional common currency, but a common global currency.

The potential lies in the fact that regional currencies allow to coordinate a common monetary policy in several countries. This common policy means that several countries now have the same interest rates, the same rate of inflation, and the same currency itself, and all these commonalities facilitate the exchange of goods and services.

While the Euro has had drawbacks since its inception, the Euro has survived, and is now one of the strongest curriencies in the world.

If you support the concept, should those currencies be tied to regional economic blocs?

I support the concept, and I agree that they should be tied to regional economic bloc. It would not be very effective to adopt a common currency for countries that are not economically integrated in other areas.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

(a) If a producer uses the almost same quantities of all the factors of production and if marginal output remains the same then this will lead to no gains.

(b) This is done by purchasing the combination of inputs which are yielding higher marginal outputs.

Signal mistakenly produced 1,000 defective cell phones. The phones cost $65 each to produce. A salvage company will buy the defe
Contact [7]

Answer:

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Signal mistakenly produced 1,000 defective cell phones.

<u>The $65 per phone is a sunk cost. It will remain on both decisions, therefore, we will not take into account to make the decision.</u>

Sell as it is:

Income= 33*1,000= $33,000

Rework:

Costs= 88*1,000= $88,000

Sales= 144*1,000= $144,000

Total gain= $56,000

It is more profitable to continue to rework the phones and sell them.
