ude, Sarah promised to pay Odessa $1,000. Can Odessa enforce this promise?

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.

otez555 [7]

Answer: $40,710

Explanation:

John's annual compensation includes his actual annual salary as well as the various payments that Heinlein Hillclimbers makes on his behalf.

His total annual compensation is:

= Annual salary + Employer's 401 contribution + Health insurance + Life insurance + AD&D + Profit sharing bonus + Tuition reimbursement + employer only taxes and insurance

= 26,500 + (150 /2 * 12 months) + (150 * 12 months) + (30 * 12 months ) + (50 * 12 months ) + (2% * 26,500) + 5,250 + (18% * 26,500)

= 26,500 + 900 + 1,800 + 360 + 600 + 530 + 5,250 + 4,770

= $40,710

Monthly Medicare (1.45%): $16.3125
($1,125*1.45%)
Monthly State Tax (4%): $45
($1,125*4%)
Monthly Local Tax (0.1%): $1.125
($1,125*0.1%)
Total Monthly deductions $262.6875
($130.50+$69.75+$16.3125+$45+$1.125)
Trey’s NMI $862.3125

Fofino [41]

Answer:

14.91 and 24.77%

Explanation:

The computation of the company interest coverage ratio is shown below:-

Interest coverage ratio = Earning before interest and tax ÷ Interest

= $161,000 ÷ $10,800

= 14.91

Operating profit margin = (Earning before interest and tax ÷ Revenue) × 100

= $161,000 ÷ $650,000 × 100

= 24.77%

Therefore we have applied the above formula and hence option is not available.

Suppose France can produce four phones or three computers with one unit of labor, and Sweden can produce one phone or two comput
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

France should specialize in producing phones and import computers from Sweden

Explanation:

France can produce: 4 phones or 3 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 phone = (3 ÷ 4)

                                                                        = 0.75 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 computer = (4 ÷ 3)

                                                                        = 1.33 phones

Sweden can produce: 1 phone or 2 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 phone = (2 ÷ 1)

                                                                        = 2 computers

The opportunity cost of producing 1 computer = (1 ÷ 2)

                                                                        = 0.5 phones

According to the comparative advantage,

Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers because the opportunity cost of producing computers is lower for Sweden than for France.

France has a comparative advantage in producing phones because the opportunity cost of producing phones is lower for France than for Sweden and import computers from Sweden because Sweden has a comparative advantage in producing computers.
