Answer:

B) duress.

Explanation:

"Duress" refers to the exercise of unlawful pressure by one individual upon another in order to coerce such person to act in such a way which he ordinarily will not.

Duress and undue influence are two terms that appear synonymous but actually differ. Under the latter, the act of coercion is carried out by an individual who held something in trust for other. Under duress, there exists a threat to harm, which is not necessarily true in case of undue influence.

In the given case, after Marty's house was burnt, the insurance adjuster instead of approving her claim, rather accused him of burning the house and further threatened him with criminal prosecution, if the former did not agree to much lower claim.  

In this case, Marty may rescind such previously agreed settlement on the grounds of  duress wherein, the insurance adjuster coerced and threatened him for such settlement and forcibly changed his action with the motive of deriving personal gains.

The board of directors of Benson Company declared a cash dividend of $1.50 per share on 42,000 shares of common stock on July 15
Helga [31]

Answer:

D. Debit to Dividends Payable.

Explanation:

The first thing we have to keep in mind is that dividends are liabilities, that is, they represent cash outflows for the corporation. In the example, we can distinguish two moments: the declaration of a cash dividend and its effective distribution. Next, we will analyze them from an accounting point of view:

  • On July 15, 2014, Benson Company declared a cash dividend. In accounting terms, on that day the “Retained Earnings” account was debited. Remember that this account is the one that records the profits that the company has obtained to date. So, what was done was to <em>subtract</em> that part that is to be distributed among stockholders. This amount is then transferred to a current liability account called “Dividends Payable”. In this case, money was <em>added</em>, therefore, the account was credited.

  • On August 15 dividends were distributed. That day, the "Dividends Payable" account was debited, or, in other words, its money was <em>discounted</em>, because it is now in the hands of shareholders.

Explanation:

The answer of option c:

Reduce power by 950 dollars:

In this question it will need to once again take the latest energy cost for analytical hierarchical productivity.  

→ Total Input  = 400 \times  12+21000 \times 1 +(5000-950)+10000

                     = 4800 +21000 + (4050)+10000  \\\\                       = 25800+4050+10000 \\\\                       = 39850\\

Consumer rates  = \frac{1,000}{39,850}

                            =0.0250

Initial efficiency multi-factor= 0.0245

\to \text{percentage  changes} = \frac{\text{New Multi Factor Productivity - Previous Multi-Factor Productivity}}{\text{Originbal Multi-Factor Productivity}}  

                                   = \frac{(0.02450.0251)}{0.0245}\\\\ = 2.45 \ \  \%
