Answer:

c. exposing himself to unlimited personal liability.

Explanation:

One major characteristic of sole proprietorship being the individual is sole recipient of profits and sole bearer of all risks and liabilities.

A sole proprietor bears unlimited liability in the sense that, in case of bankruptcy, the proprietor's personal assets can be taken away to repay debts owed by him.

Though a proprietor also remains the sole recipient of all gains, similarly the proprietor is also exposed to unlimited risk.

Thus, the correct option is, c. exposing himself to unlimited personal liability .

Riley Company promises to pay Janet Anderson or her estate $150,000 per year for the next 10 years, even if she leaves the compa

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The Answer is explanatory so it is given as under:

Explanation:

Part 1. At the start of the year:

The part of the salary includes $150,000 per year for the next 10 years and this must be recorded as an deferred compensation liability. All we have to do is to calculate the present value of the annual salary payments.

Present Value = Annual Payment * Annuity factor

And for Annuity factor we will use 5% rate of interest.

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1-r)^n) / r

Here

r = 5%

n = 10 years

Which means

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1 + 5%)^10) / 5% = 7.722

Hence

Present value = $150,000 * 7.722 = $1,158,260

So the journal entry would be as under:

Dr Deferred Compensation expense $1,158,260

Cr Deferred Compensation Liability $1,158,260

Part 2. At the end of the Year 1:

At the first year end, the annual payment of $1,158,260 will be discounted back by using the following formula:

Discounted Back Amount = Annual Amount * (1- (1+r)^n)

Remember for the first year n is 10, for second n is 9 and so on.

Discounted Back Amount = 150,000 x (1 - 0.614) = $57,913

Dr Deferred Compensation Expense $57,913

Cr Deferred Compensation Liability $57,913

Part 3. And when the first payment of the salary is made, the journal entry would be:

Dr Deferred compensation Liability $ 150,000

Cr Cash Account $150,000

Likewise we will till the year 10 and will record the part 2 and part 3 until at the end of the year 10, the whole of the deferred tax liability is reduced to zero.

The life insurance policy payments can not be offset against the deferred compensation liability because it will be accounted for as a different transaction and hence must not be treated as Riley desires.

So the Cash surrender value will be treated as an asset and annual increase in this asset would be treated as an income.

You are a risk-averse investor who is considering investing in one of two economies. The expected return and volatility of all

galben [10]

Answer:

It's best to invest in the second economy

Explanation:

The question does not provide information on the hypothetical economic expectations of the two economies, but as a risk-averse investor, it's a better idea to try to "spread" the risk instead of concentrating it.

In the first economy, conditions might or might not be good. If they are good, returns will be extraordinary because all stocks will provide good returns, but if conditions take a turn for the worse, all stocks prices will fall and the financial consequences will be catastrophic.

In the second economy, results might never be as good as in the first economy, but they also will not ever be as bad. The risk is spread between various stocks, and while some may fall in price, others will rise, and viceversa. For a risk-adverse investor, this a far better option.

Harding, Jones, and Sandy, a partnership, is in the process of liquidating. The partners have the following capital account bala

Radda [10]

Answer: Cash to be distributed to Harding = $ 17000, Jones = $ 3000 

Explanation:

It has been indicated that the ($9,000) deficit will be covered with a forthcoming contribution

∴ The Remaining Capital Balance is = (24000 + 24000) = $48000

∵Total cash Available = $20000

Loss = 48000 - 20000 = $ 28000

Loss will be shared between Harding & Jones in ratio = 16:48

∴ Harding Capital balance = $\frac{(24000 - 28000)\times16}{16+48}$ = $ 17000

∴ Jones Capital balance = $\frac{(24000 - 28000)\times48}{16+48}$ = $ 3000

Cash will be Distributed in their capital balance ratio

Therefore,

Cash to be distributed to Harding = $ 17000, Jones = $ 3000

KIM [24]

<h2>Every country operate in a different yet similar system of both political and social affairs.</h2>

Explanation:

Every country operate in a different yet similar system of both political and social affairs. In terms of political differences, some countries have parliamentary governments while some countries like the US have presidential governments.

Regardless of how each country operate politically, most of the operational system of these countries are embedded in democracy and the general welfare of its citizens. The differences occur because of these operational systems of each country. They could differ in policies, reforms or laws which are based on the interests of its people and the nation.

In economic terms, the differences occur when governments prioritize what economic policies or model they choose to implement. Economic systems of a country change according to the need of the times. For instance, China initially, after its independence, chose to remain a closed economy until it reformed its policies in 1978 to finally open up the country.

Legal systems of countries differ from one another as every country use a civil law system based on its cultural, social, political and historical circumstances. For instance, in US each state has the power to establish its own legal procedures while in some country, every state must follow a uniform civil code.

As we know the political economy refers to both the political and economic systems of a country, management practice of national differences is important to taken into account before securing economic relations with another country. Management practice of national differences helps in finding favorable economic and political systems around the world for a country to make both economic and political partnership with.
