Chris has three options for settling an insurance claim. Option A will provide $1,500 a month for 6 years. Option B will pay $1,
Papessa [141]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Option B. $1,025 a month for 10 years.</em></u>

Explanation:

Calculate the present value of each option:

     \text{Monthly rate: } 6.8\%/12 = 0.068/12 = 0.005\overline 6

Formula:

        PV=C\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{r}-\dfrac{1}{r(1+r)^t}\bigg]

Where:

  • PV is the present value of the constant monthly payments
  • r is the monthly rate
  • t is the number of moths

<u>1. Option A will provide $1,500 a month for 6 years. </u>

         PV=$\ 1,500\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{(0.005\overline 6}-\dfrac{1}{0.005\overline 6(1+0.005\overline 6)^{(6\times12)}}\bigg]

         PV=\$ 88,479.23

<u>2. Option B will pay $1,025 a month for 10 years. </u>

         PV=$\ 1,025\times \bigg[\dfrac{1}{(0.005\overline 6}-\dfrac{1}{0.005\overline 6(1+0.005\overline 6)^{(10\times12)}}\bigg]

         PV=\$ 89,068.22

<u>3. Option C offers $85,000 as a lump sum payment today. </u>

<u></u>

  • PV = $85,000
<h2 /><h2> Conclusion:</h2>

The present value of the<em> option B, $1,025 a month for 10 years</em>, has a the greatest present value, thus since he is only concerned with the <em>financial aspects of the offier</em>, this is the one he should select.

Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira. Read the summary of the court opinion. Could something like this bankrupt a
tester [92]

The correct answers to these open questions are the following.

Maple Farms, Inc. v. City School District of Elmira.

Could something like this bankrupt a company?

Yes, it can, if the proper forecast were not done taking into consideration all of the possible variables at medium and long-range.

Do you agree with the decision?

It was a tough decision because the court declared in its decision that the performance was not impracticable, as Maple Farm Inc indicated when decided to break the contract.

In strict theory, I agree with the court's decision because the explanation was that an "impractical" occurred when an event happened totally unexpected. And in this case, Mapple Farm Inc could have taken extra provisions knowing that milk had a 10% increase the last year and had the chance of more increases in the present year.

That is how a company can avoid this type of situation. Taking better provisions, contemplating all kinds of variables, knowing that in the future, something unexpected can happen and could be prevented with the proper forecast.

Consider Emily's balance statement:
notsponge [240]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

A balance sheet is prepared following the accounting principles of assets equal to liabilities plus equity. Assets are left side while equity and liabilities on the other.

Assets are valuable that a business owns. Liabilities refer to the debts or loans of the business. It is what the business owes others. Equity is the owner's contribution to the business.

In this balance sheet,  Emily has confused assets and liabilities.

The column labeled as liabilities represents assets. She should change that. This column should be the topmost column.  She has interchanged the labels for liabilities and assets. The difference between assets and liabilities should be equity.
