Answer: d. survey data from the local community.
Explanation:
In deciding the case the Judge there are methods to use such as cases from other jurisdictions ( as this is a case of first impression), the values of their society and its customs, as well as Public policy.
One thing that should not be used in survey data from the local community. People will always have opinions on a matter of law and a lot of the time this is based on what they feel not what is legal. This is why juries do not just and sentences down immediately, they wait until they have been presented with legal arguments so they may be wiser legally.
Survey data has a very high chance of being devoid of this knowledge and also will be biased. It is best the Judge avoids such.
Answer:
decrease total assets and stockholders' equity
Explanation:
At the time of declaration a liability increases, against dividend expense.
At the time of payment that liability is settled by paying in cash.
Thus net effect of both transactions is decrease in cash and increase in expenses.
If we carefully analyse the options, then
we get that there is decrease in assets in the form of cash and decrease in equity as expenses decrease retained earnings which are owner's equity.
Therefore, correct option is
decrease total assets and stockholders' equity.
Answer:
Over this 10-year period, the benefit to cost ratio is:
= 1.33.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of additional anti-pollution equipment = $2 million
Estimated useful life of the equipment = 10 years
Additional annual labor cost for equipment usage = $100,000
This gives a total labor cost of $1 million over the 10-year period.
Therefore, the total cost = $3 million
Savings (benefits) from lowering the air pollutants in the region = $4 million in medical expenses.
The benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) = $4/$3 = 1.33
b) The Benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) is a cost–benefit analysis that summarizes the value-for-money of a project by expressing the relationship between the project's benefits and costs in monetary terms. The BCR shows the future profitability of investment alternatives or options. It is normally expressed in terms of net present value.
