Answer:

To enforce this promise we need to analyse whether there has been any agreement or contract between Sarah and Odessa and whether the same can be enforced.

Explanation:

In Sarah's case, her offer to gratuitously pay the neighbor for assisting in the house fire is not an enforceable contract. When the neighbor rushed to help in the fire, the offer to pay $1,000 had not yet been extended. When Sarah did extend the offer to pay $1,000, there was no consideration exchanged between both parties. The consideration, putting out the fire, had already occurred without the offer or acceptance of a contract.

Consider an alternate scenario. Sarah's house was on fire, and she could not wait for the fire department. She ran to her neighbor's house, begged for help, and offered $1,000 in exchange for neighbor's assistance. After hearing Sarah's plea, the neighbor agrees to assist in extinguishing the fire. This constitutes a contract; an offer, consideration, and acceptance.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

The answer is B.

Explanation:

Capital is what is used to start a business. It is what the owner's contribution in the business. In advanced class, it is called stock or equity. Capital is usually from the owner's savings. But if this money is borrowed either from an individual or a bank, the person is a borrower while the other party is the lender.

Option A is incorrect because money raised from someone makes the person borrowing a borrower and not a saver.

Option C and D are incorrect because the items needed for the business are not consumables, they are needed for the smooth running of the business, hence they are not consumption.

Vika [28.1K]

The complete question is as follows:

The admission directory of Big City University has a novel idea. He proposed using the IQ scores of current students as a marketing tool. The university agrees to provide him with enough money to administer IQ tests to 50 students. So the director gives the IQ test to an SRS of 50 of the university’s 5000 freshman. The mean IQ score for the sample is xbar=112. The IQ test he administered is known to have a σ of 15. What is the 95% Confidence Interval about the mean? What can the director say about the mean score of the population of all 5000 freshman?

Answer: The 95% confidence interval about the mean is Confidence interval = 107.84 \leq \mu \leq 116.16.

The director can say that he is 95% confident that the mean IQ score of the 5000 freshmen lies between 107.84 and 116.16.

We follow these steps to arrive at the answer:

Since the population standard deviation of the IQ test is known, we can use the Z scores to find the confidence interval.

The formula for the confidence interval about the mean is:

Confidence interval = \overline{X}\pm Z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In the equation above, X bar is known as the point estimate and the second term is known as Margin of Error.

The Critical Value of Z at the 95% confidence level is 1.96.

Substituting the values in the question in the equation above we have,

Confidence interval = \112\pm 1.96*\frac{15}{\sqrt{50}}

Confidence interval = \112\pm 4.157787873}

Confidence interval = 107.8422121 \leq \mu \leq 116.1577879

ra1l [238]

Answer:

Cutting Department:    

Rate variance = 6380*(10.9-11) = -638 Favorable  

Time variance = 11*(6380-25000*0.25) = 1430 Unfavorable  

Total direct labor cost variance = (6380*10.9)-(25000*11*0.25) = 792 Unfavorable

Sewing Department:

Rate variance = 9875*(11.12-11) = 1185 Unfavorable  

Time variance = 11*(9875-25000*0.4) = -1375 Favorable  

Total direct labor cost variance =(9875*11.12)-(25000*11*0.4) = -190 Favorable

Taya2010 [7]

Having recently completed a business class, you suggest to Allison that she calculate the <u>"inventory turnover"</u> ratio for her store, and then compare it to other stores in her industry.


Inventory turnover is a ratio indicating how often an organization has sold and supplanted stock amid a given period. An organization would then be able to partition the days in the period by the inventory turnover equation to ascertain the days it takes to move the stock close by. It is determined as deals separated by normal stock. Computing inventory turnover can enable organizations to settle on better choices on valuing, fabricating runs, how to use advancements to move overabundance stock, and how and when to buy new stock. Inventory turnover may likewise be found by partitioning cost of merchandise sold with normal stock.
