Answer:

B. Estimating the value of a human life is difficult but necessary in order to evaluate the proposal.

Explanation:

Cost benefit analysis is a method used to guage the cost involved in an undertaking or process compared to the benefit.

If the coat is higher than the benefit the activity is discarded.

However if the benefit is greater than the cost it is a good activity to adopt.

In this scenario there is a proposal to add traffic barriers to divide the flow of traffic in an effort to increase safety on a given highway.

We will weigh the cost of setting up traffick barriers and the estimated value of human life.

If cost is more than the value of human life then the project is abandoned. But if value of human life is higher than the cost the project can proceed.

Although it is hard to estimate value of human life, we need to make an estimate in order to use the cost benefit analysis

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Preparation of the adjusting entries as of December 31, 2015.

Dr Salaries Expense 3,920

Cr Salaries Payable 3,920

Explanation:

Since we were been told in the question that all the 15 employees worked the first 2 days of that week, the Adjustment we therefore be $3,920( 1,960×2) . And the transaction will be recorded as:

Dr Salaries Expense 3,920

Cr Salaries Payable 3,920

The Adjustment will be :

1,960 x 2 = 3,920

Therefore the pay that occured in New Year's Day will not be used because it falls in the next year.

You just sold a futures contract on €. Each contract is for €125,000 and the price you sold for the € is $1.20 for each €. What
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The profit is $12,500

Explanation:

The profit on the contract can be computed using the formula below:

profit/loss on the contract=(forward price-spot rate)*volume of currency sold

forward price is 1 euro to $1.20

spot price     1 euro to  $1.10

volume of currency sold is Euros 125,000

profit/loss on the contract=($1.20-$1.10)*125,000

                                             =$12,500

Invariably the trader sold each US dollar $0.10 more than the spot rate ($1.20-$1.10),when that is multiplied the volume of Euros sold,it gives $12,500 in profit.

This implies that the buyer could have bought the currency cheaper on contract date
