Answer:
Service products cannot generally be produced in advance or stored.
Services are typically variable, and in almost every service offering, the service cannot start until the customer arrives and actively participates.
Explanation:
Services have distinguishing characteristics that differentiate them from goods.
To start with, services cannot be produced in advance as production and consumption happen at the same time.
Also,the customer must be present and actively contributes to the delivery of the service, for instance, haircut cannot happen except the customer comes to the salon and obeys the instructions of the barber as they go along.
Besides,there is no physical substance in service unlike purchase of goods.

$2,375,000
Explanation:
Retained Earning is the accumulated balance of all the prior year's income / losses after paying all the dividend. This balance can be used for the dividend payment or reinvestment in the business.
Balance of Retained Earning = $500,000
Dividend Payment = 25% x $500,000 = $125,000
Additions to Retained Earning = $500,000 - $125,000 = $375,000
New balance of Retained Earning = $2,000,000 + $375,000 = $2,375,000
Answer: $3,025
Explanation:
The Net Working Capital is used to find out if the company is able to use its current assets to cater for it's Current Liabilities and as such is calculated by subtracting Current Assets from Current Liabilities.
= Current Assets - Current Liabilities
Current Liabilities = 975 + 250
= $1,225
The interest bearing funds are not included when Calculating Net Working Cap.
Net Working Capital = 4,250 - 1,225
= $3,025
→Answer:
a. $188,533.82
b. $219,296.09
Explanation:
These problems can be solved using the present value of annuity formula which is:
PV= C x (1-(1+r)^-n)/r
Where:
PV = the present value of annuity (the amount we are solving for)
C= The annual amount receivable from the insurance company ($20,700)
r= The interest rate (7%)
n= Number of years (15 and 20 years respectively)
- To solve the first question (a) plug the variables into the formula and you will have → 20,700 × (1-(1.07)^-15)/.07= $188,533.82
- to solve the second question (b) plug the variables into the formula and you will have → 20,700×(1-(1.07)^-20)/.07 = $219,296.09
