1 answer:

Answer:

Answer is option a, i.e. have been combined to develop a procedure that uses the best of each.

Explanation:

In project management, PERT i.e. project evaluation and review technique is used as a statistical tool that is used to assess the overall work that is done to complete a certain project. In order to complete a particular task, there can be 'n' number of paths or ways. The best decision of selecting a pathway that is time-saving as well as cost-saving is to be found out. This chosen path is then referred to as 'Critical path.' Hence, PERT and CPM can be understood as two faces of a single coin, and have been combined to develop a procedure that uses the best of each.

Riley Company promises to pay Janet Anderson or her estate $150,000 per year for the next 10 years, even if she leaves the compa
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The Answer is explanatory so it is given as under:

Explanation:

<u>Part 1. At the start of the year:</u>

The part of the salary includes $150,000 per year for the next 10 years and this must be recorded as an deferred compensation liability. All we have to do is to calculate the present value of the annual salary payments.

Present Value = Annual Payment * Annuity factor

And for Annuity factor we will use 5% rate of interest.

So

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1-r)^n) / r

Here

r = 5%

n = 10 years

Which means

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1 + 5%)^10)  / 5%   = 7.722

Hence

Present value = $150,000 * 7.722 = $1,158,260

So the journal entry would be as under:

Dr Deferred Compensation expense $1,158,260

Cr    Deferred Compensation Liability $1,158,260

<u>Part 2. At the end of the Year 1:</u>

At the first year end, the annual payment of $1,158,260 will be discounted back by using the following formula:

Discounted Back Amount = Annual Amount * (1- (1+r)^n)

Remember for the first year n is 10, for second n is 9 and so on.

Discounted Back Amount = 150,000 x (1 - 0.614) = $57,913

Dr Deferred Compensation Expense   $57,913

Cr    Deferred Compensation Liability        $57,913

Part 3. And when the first payment of the salary is made, the journal entry would be:

Dr Deferred compensation Liability $ 150,000

Cr                                       Cash Account    $150,000

Likewise we will till the year 10 and will record the part 2 and part 3 until at the end of the year 10, the whole of the deferred tax liability is reduced to zero.

The life insurance policy payments can not be offset against the deferred compensation liability because it will be accounted for as a different transaction and hence must not be treated as Riley desires.

So the Cash surrender value will be treated as an asset and annual increase in this asset would be treated as an income.

All else the same, if a bank's liabilities are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations than are its assets, then ________ i
Bad White [126]

Answer:

A) an increase; reduce

Explanation:

All else the same ,if a bank liabilities are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations than are its assets, then an increase in interest rates will reduce bank profits.

A bank is said to be sensitive towards to interest rates means that the bank revalue its liabilities on the basis of the change in the interest rates. Thus if the interest rates increases it means the liabilities of the bank has increased on which the bank is liable to pay higher interest which will automatically reduce the bank profits as the interest payable by the bank is an expense for the bank.

Every few months for the past six years, Camille has ordered between $1,000 and $1,250 worth of crickets from Khan's Crickets, d
FrozenT [24]

The result of this mistake on the order form is that Khan's Crickets should verify from Camille the actual order amount intended.

We may factor in the fact that the number of crickets will show the correct quantity that Camille requires, then Khan should supply only the quantity on the order form and request for a corrected or revised order form from Camille.

Thus, the result is that Khan's Crickets will still supply crickets with an invoice worth $1,000, not adhering to the mistaken total sum.
