Answer:

Karen must recognize income of $20,000 in 2019 and $500 in 2020

Explanation:

Accrual basis of accounting states that income must be recognized in the period when it is earned and expenses must also be recognized when it is incurred.

Therefore, since the goods was sold in December 2019 and $500 interest was paid with the principal in April 2020, Karen must recognize income of $20,000 in 2019 and $500 in 2020.

iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The correct answers are letters "A", "D", and "E": Use a business letter format; Send a separate letter to each interviewer; Mention something you liked about the interview.

Explanation:

A <em>job interview </em>does not end after leaving the prospective company where you could work. Most organizations decide to choose one applicant over another if they contact their interviewers after the interview. For that purpose, that last contact must be a <em>formal letter stating what your impressions are of the company and why you are still interested in obtaining the job position</em>. Besides, if there was more than one interviewer, <em>a unique letter should be addressed to each of interviewer</em>.

A wedding party hired a sole proprietorship to cater their wedding. In this situation the sole proprietorship is a partnership,
Kruka [31]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

A sole proprietorship is owned and managed by a single person. The owner is responsible for all the decisions and actions of his or her business. The owner may hire workers to assist in running the business. The workers remain workers and not partners in the business.

The law does not distinguish between the business and the owner. Any liabilities arising from the business are considered to be the owner's liability. In this wedding situation, the sole proprietor is solely responsible for the mistakes of his assistant.

Smith is a CPA. His neighbor, Jones, asks him to prepare his tax return. Jones and Smith are casual friends. Smith prepares the
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Jones is liable to pay.

He is liable to pay to the tune of $1000. This may be negotiated however if it is not fair.

Explanation:

See the following points

  • The question above is an example of Implied At-law contracts. (We will get to the definition of this in a bit).
  • A contract is a legally binding agreement that recognises and governs the rights and duties of the parties to the agreement. A contract is legally enforceable because it meets the requirements and approval of<u> the Law</u>. From the above definition it is clear that two people may actually be engaging  in a contract without knowing it.
  • The law defines that a contract is.
  • Contracts may be Express or Implied.
  • Express contracts are simply contracts that are stated expressly, or openly, in either writing or orally, at the time of contract formation.
  • Implied contracts are created when two or more parties have no written contract.
  • There are two types of implied contracts:

  1. Implied In-Fact Contracts: these are contracts which create an obligation between the parties based on the facts of the situation. For example, assume your neighbor hires you to wash his car every Friday for the entire holidays. You wash your neighbor’s car for the first four weekends of the holidays and get paid on Friday morning each time. The fifth Friday you wash the car and when you arrive at your neighbor’s house for your pay, your neighbor refuses to pay you.                                           The law will infer that there is a contract between you and your neighbor, even though you never put anything in writing. This is an implied in-fact contract.

       2. The other type of Implied contract is that which is Implied At-Law

In the case between Jones and Smith, the law imposes a duty to perform a contract, and will enforce such a contract even against a person’s will, where the situation is such that without this legal intervention, one party would be <u>unfairly enriched</u> or advantaged by another party’s action.

  • In the question above, Smith is a CPA. He is qualified in every respect to carry out Professional Tax services. His services may be relied upon with a great degree of confidence.
  • If Jones had not filed those tax returns, he probably would have lost monies that should have accrued to him from the government.

This type of agreement is also considered a quasi-contract. A quasi-contract occurs where the law imposes an obligation upon the parties where in fact the parties did not intend to enter into a contract and made no promise to perform.

However, because one party would be unjustly enriched by another party’s action, the beneficiary of those actions must make restitution or pay fair value for the services provided, even though there was never any intention to enter into an agreement.

Cheers!
