A friend, explaining his position with respect to liability insurance states, "I don't feel I need the high limits of liability

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

I agree with him since liability insurance covers the policy holder against legal claims (law suits) due to personal injuries or damages caused to other people or their properties.

Generally people or businesses exposed to higher risks are covered by policies with high amounts, e.g. a manufacturer of any type of product (or really any type of business, even services), a doctor or more commonly anyone who has a car.

Since this is a homeowners policy, then a low limit should be sufficient. Just think a¿bout it, how can your house damage someone else? Maybe a neighbor or someone else visiting you slips and suffers an injury, but the possibility of the harm being serious is very low. If this included a car insurance policy, then you could request a higher amount, but not for a house.

Ierofanga [76]

Answer: $61,500

Explanation:

Jerry's adjusted basis in his partnership interest at the end of the year is determined by adding his cash contributions, long-term capital gain, and qualified dividends to the original tax basis.

There will also be deductions of the non-deductible expenses, ordinary loss and his share of the reduction in partnership debt.

Jerry's adjusted basis at the end of the year = ( 44,000 + 26,000 + 3,600 4,600) - ( 2,100 + 9,000 + 5,600)

= 78,200 - 16,700

The tobler company has budgeted production for next year by quarter as follow:

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Purchases of Raw Material = 63200 Pounds

so correct option is (A) 63,200 pounds

Explanation:

solution

first we find Raw material that is required for production for 3rd quarter so

Raw Material Required for production = Production in units × Raw material per unit required ..........................1

put here value

Raw Material Required for production = 16000 × 4

Raw Material Required for production = 64000

and

now Beginning Inventory of Raw material for 3rd quarter so we know that Ending inventory of 2nd quarter become beginning inventory of 3rd quarter so

Ending Inventory of 2nd quarter = 3rd Quarter Production × 10%

Ending Inventory of 2nd quarter = ( 16000 × 4 ) × 10%

Ending Inventory of 2nd quarter = 6,400

so now we get Ending Inventory of 3rd Quarter Ending Inventory of 3rd quarter = 4th Quarter Production × 10%

Ending Inventory of 3rd quarter = ( 14000 × 4 ) × 10%

Ending Inventory of 3rd quarter = 5,600

so here we get Purchases of Raw Material that is

Purchases of Raw Material = Raw Material Required for production + Ending Inventory of 3rd quarter - Beginning Inventory of 3rd quarter .........2

put here value

Purchases of Raw Material = 64000 + 5600 - 6400

Purchases of Raw Material = 63200 Pounds

so correct option is (A) 63,200 pounds
