Answer:

<em>A proprietorship has three important advantages: </em>

(1) It is easily and inexpensively formed,

(2) it is subject to few government regulations, and

(3) it is subject to lower income taxes than are corporations.

<em>However, a proprietorship also has three important limitations: </em>

(1) A proprietor has personal liability for the business' debts.

(2) The life of the business is limited to the life of the individual who created it.

(3) A proprietorship has difficulty obtaining large sums of capital so proprietorships are used primarily for small businesses.

As all company structures, proprietorships have both advantages and disadvantages. Although the advantages mainly relate to feasibility, the disadvantages are often overlooked. The main disadvantage is the total liability of the owner, which is detrimental if the business faces tough times, which lead to liquidation.

Breanna works in the mall and her hours increase during busy shopping times of the year. Breanna has a plan to save $25 each wee
kari74 [83]

Answer:

16 weeks

Explanation:

Given:

Amount saved each week in the first 5 weeks = $25

Amount saved each week in the next 7 weeks = $25 + $20 = $45

Amount saved each week afterwards = $25

Total amount to be saved = $540

Now,

The total amount saved in the first 5 weeks = $25 × 5 = $125

The total saved in the next 7 weeks = $45 × 7 = $315

Thus,

The total amount saved till now = $125 + $215 = $440

Now,

The remaining amount to be saved = $540 - $440 = $100

The time required to save the $100 = \frac{\textup{100}}{\textup{25}}

= 4

Hence,.

the total weeks required = 5 + 7 + 4 = 16 weeks

On September 1, Year 1 Western Company loaned $36,000 cash to Eastern Company. The one-year note carried a 5% rate of interest.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Cash amount loaned = $36,000

Rate of interest on note = 5%

Time period: From September 1, Year 1 to December 31, Year 1 = 4 months

Amount of Interest revenue:

= Cash amount loaned × Interest rate × Time period

= $36,000 × 0.05 × (4/12)

= $36,000 × 0.05 × (1/3)

= $599.9 or $600

There is no cash flow from operating activity in respect of loan given to another company and interest revenue accrued on loan amount.
