Kim hired Gold Contracting to build a pool and a fancy gazebo in her backyard. The plans were complex and required expert workma

Answer:

B. Kim will win, because the bonus is a reward for work they have already performed, which is past consideration and cannot be used to create a contract.

Explanation:

In order for a contract to be enforceable, consideration must be exchanged between both parties. In this case, Kim made a promise that included consideration ($3,500) but Gold didn't exchange of give anything back. The swimming pool is already finished and it represents another different contract.

Another example would be a boss telling a subordinate that he/she will receive a bonus for having worked 10 years in the firm. The employee already got paid for working the 10 years, so there is no actual exchange of new consideration.

reonna Corporation leases equipment from Falls Company on January 1, 2020. The lease agreement does not transfer ownership, cont
ioda

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Since this is an operating lease (short lease term, no transfer of ownership, and low present value of lease payments), the lessor has to record a depreciation expense, but the lessee only considers lease payments as operating costs (no depreciation expense or lease liability should be recognized).

Depreciation expense per year under the straight line method = asset cost / useful life = $280,000 / 8 years = $35,000

There are clear differences between branch plan and sequel plan decisions, but what causes one type to be chosen over another? P
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Find explanation below.

Explanation:

A branch plan is the contingency plan. It is chosen when planning for future possible occurrences. A Sequel plan on the other hand is made based on the outcome of the main plan. Therefore, a Sequel plan is made depending on whether the main plan was successful or unsuccessful.

Examples of Branch plan decisions:

  • A plan to dispatch military forces to aid a fight in another country.
  • Reassigning military personnel to another location.

Examples of Sequel plan decisions:

  • A plan to begin administering relief operations.
  • A plan to return to normal mode of operation, perhaps after a successful war.

Suppose Russia produces only trucks and cars. The resources that are used in the production of these two goods are not specializ
seraphim [82]

Answer:

Remains constant

Explanation:

Since the same set of resources are useful in producing both cars and trucks, it shows that resources are not specialized hence Russia has a straight line PPC. A straight line (linear) PPC connotes constant returns to scale. In this case, resources are mobile and can easily be reallocated and redirected from the production  of one good to another thus, opportunity cost is constant and so is the marginal rate of transformation (MRT). The MRT is the number of units or amount of a good that must be foregone in order to attain one unit of another.  If Russia decides to produce more cars and fewer trucks, the resources deployed in producing more cars would be well suited as the resources already used in car production. The opportunity cost in producing each additional unit of car remains constant as more cars are produced.

The slope of a linear PPC determines the marginal rate of transformation; that is, a flatter slope would mean producing more cars requires trading-off fewer trucks while a steeper slope would mean that producing more cars requires trading-off more trucks.
