Would you raise or lower your policy premium on any subsequent proposal to​ Sam? Based on his​ information, would Sam​ accept? A. You would raise your policy premium substantially and Sam would not accept because he​ doesn't know about the Japanese. B. You would raise your policy premium substantially and Sam would accept because the higher premium would signal there was a greater chance of a loss. C. You would not offer Sam a policy at any premium because given the new​ information, Sam will almost certainly sustain a loss.

Answer: A. You would raise your policy premium substantially and Sam would not accept because he​ doesn't know about the Japanese.

Explanation:

In such a scenario as the one described above, the best option as an Insurance Agent is indeed to raise premiums substantially.

As the Japanese will most probably get to market first with the new Mayonnaise Substitute, they will have the rights to it's invention and could even patent it.

This means that Sam and SCAM will most likely suffer a loss as a result of this.

As there is such a high chance of loss, charging a substantially higher premium to enable coverage is only logical and makes business sense.

Sam does not know however that the Japanese are so far ahead and having rejected a substantially lower offer, will reject the newer, substantially higher one as well.

A company collected $10,000 cash from a customer as a deposit for goods that will be shipped next quarter.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

(A) Total assets,

(C) Cash from operations and

(D) Total liabilities

Explanation:

A company collecting $10,000 cash from a customer as a deposit for goods that will be shipped next quarter is an example of an unearned revenue. It is receiving money from the customer in advance for the good or service yet to be provided.

And this is considered as a liability and recorded in the balance sheet as such because the company now owes the customer.

When the good or service is now provided, it increases the total assets.

Michelle operates a food truck. Indicate the amount (if any) that she can deduct as an ordinary and necessary business deduction
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A. $80

B. $795

C. $0

Explanation:

Only expenses that can be directly attributed to the business are deductible.

Personal expenses will not be deductible.

A. Here the only deductible amount is the legal fees of $80. The speeding will not be charged to the business because it was as a result of personal negligence. The legal fees affect the business because the speeding related to a business asset.

B. Only the amount paid to reserve a spot will be deductible because it relates to expenses for the business to make profit. The money she spent on her children is a personal expense.

C. There is no deductible here. These activities were of a personal nature and in no way related to the operations of the business of operating the food truck.
