Answer: % money market; 30% long-term bonds; 5% commodities; 60% stocks, most with low dividends and high growth prospects (option D)

Explanation:

Since liquidity is not currently a major concern to the couple, investment in the money market can be low and also no investment is needed in the high dividend paying stocks.

Option A and C involve significant investment in the high dividend yielding stocks so they're ruled out. We are now left with Option B and D

Long term bonds usually pay less than the required rate that this couple is considering, therefore a significant amount must be invested in high yield return securities. This will make option D the right answer since it fulfils all the required objectives.

Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 400,000

    Cr Discount on bond investment - Taylor bonds 400,000

The following inventory valuation errors have been discovered for Knox Corporation:
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

Income +/- inventory adjustment

2015:   138,000 - 23,000 = 115,000

2016:  254,000 + 61,000 = 315,000

2017:   168,000 + 17,000 = 185,000

Explanation:

<u>Inventory Identity:</u>

Beginning + Purchases = Ending + COGS

As the mistake is on the right side it compensates by the other component which is COGS

<u><em>When the inventory is overstated</em></u> this means COGS is understated.

We didn't record the cost of good sold thefore our gross profit is higher making the net income higher.

<u><em>When the inventory is understated</em></u> this means COGS is overstated.

We record more cost of goods sold thefore our gross profit is lower making the net income fewer as well.

<span>The predicted productivity equation is 2.0 + .5 * Experience + .2 * aptitude score . Then we can use the slope coefficients to figure this out. Jack gains .5 *.3 from his extra three months and Jill has gained from her extra 20 points on the aptitude test .2 * 20 = 4 . Then we have that 4 – 1.5 = 2.5 thus Jill is predicted to be more productive than Jack. Thus the answer is b.</span>
