All selling and administrative expenses are paid in cash in the period they are incurred. An estimated income tax payment of $55,000 will be made in October.

b) When Bridgeport Housewares Inc prepares budgeted monthly cash budgets, important highlights are indicated.  For instance, it becomes easier for the management of Bridgeport to know when to borrow cash to meet the minimum cash balance or in the alternative sell off some marketable securities.  It is also easier for Bridgeport to understand that it can be having excess cash which should not be allowed to sit idle, but can be invested in marketable securities.  The cash budgets and their preparation also help Bridgeport to be better prepared to exert the required efforts to generate sales revenue in order not to jeopardize its liquidity position.  It can also help Bridgeport to understand that the capital expenditure could have been paid for instalmentally starting from September or so instead of lumping the sum in November.  There are many other insights garnered from the cash budgets and their preparation.

In standstill water a steam boat is accelerated 3 m per square from position of rest in an interval of 8 sec determine the dista
iragen [17]

<h2>Given:-</h2>

  • Acceleration ,a = 3m/s

  • Initial velocity ,u = 0m/s

  • Time taken ,t = 8s

<h3>To Find:-</h3>

  • Distance travel by the boat ,s
<h3 /><h3>Solution:-</h3>

We have to calculate the distance covered by the boat in given time interval. Using 2nd equation of motion

<h3>s = ut + 1/2at²</h3><h3 />

where,

v is the final velocity

a is the acceleration

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

s is the distance covered

Substitute the value we get

:⟹ s = 0×8 + 1/2×3 × 8²

:⟹ s = 0 + 1/2 × 3 × 64

:⟹ s = 3/2 × 64

:⟹ s = 3 × 32

:⟹ s = 96 m

Hence, the distance covered by the steam boat is 96 metres.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Tom Busby

His annual payment will be:

= $4,091.64

Explanation:

a) Data:

Loan = $20,000

Interest on loan for 4 years = 8% per annum

Amount of loan after 4 years = $27,200 ($20,000 * 1.360)

Payment period = 12 years

Interest rate during payment period = 11%

b) From online finance calculator:

You will need to pay $4,091 every year for 12 years to payoff the debt at 11% interest.

Monthly Payment $340.97

Annual Payment  $4,091.64

Time Required to Clear Debt 12.00 years

Total of 144 or 12 Payments = $49,099.25

Total Interest $21,899.25

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

(a). A worker at a Sony plant in Japan buys some Georgia peaches from an American farmer.

-<u> Increase in exports while no change in imports</u>.

(b). The Sony pension fund buys a bond from the U.S. Treasury.

- <u>Decrease in a net outflow of capital. Thus, it would be considered as a negative inflow/outflow</u>.

(c). An American investor buys a controlling share in a South Korean electronics firm.

- <u>Increase in Net Capital outflow for the U.S</u>.

Explanation:

Exports are described as the selling of domestic goods to a foreign country while Imports are characterized as the process of bringing in foreign goods to the domestic country. And Capital outflow is defined as the exact flow of funds from domestic to foreign and foreign to the domestic country.

In the first case, the purchase reflects a rise in exports as the domestic product is sold to the foreign country. In the second situation, the net outflow of the capital would decreases as it demonstrates a foreign purchase of a domestic asset. In the third example, the American investors' purchase of a South Korean firm demonstrates a domestic purchase of a foreign asset and thus, the net capital outflow would rise.
