Answer: D. Recognize the loss in the current period rather than over the remaining term of the engagement

Explanation:

A fixed rate contract is the contract whereby the payment amount isn't dependent on the resources or the time that were used.

Since there's evidence that a fixed-rate contract is over budget and will generate a loss for the firm, the manager should recognize the loss in the current period rather than over the remaining term of the engagement.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

If the offer is rejected by the Dall then the offer is no more in place. The particular reason is that Martin is not required to tell Dall that the offer is no more in place. Suppose Martin is wishing to close his offer and till now Dall has not declined the offer. So Martin will have to communicate Dall that the offer is been closed. If Dall has communicated Martin that he has rejected the offer, then this means the offer essence has vanished. Hence Martin has no liability towards Dall, if Dall sues him.

Answer: Difference = $185,948.5 - $147,285. = $38,663.5

Explanation:

To calculate the future value,  you have to use the formula

fv = PA (1 + r/100)ⁿ

where

FV = future value

PA = Present Amount

r = rate

n = number of years

calculating for the future value if you earn a percent of 7.5 =

fv = 5,000 (1 + 0.075) ⁵⁰

fv = 5,000 ( 1.075)⁵⁰

fv = 5,000 (37.1897)

fv = 185,948.5  

calculating the Fv when the rate is 7%

fv = 5,000 (1 + 0.070) ⁵⁰

fv = 5,000 ( 1.070)⁵⁰

fv = 5,000 (29.4570)

fv = 147,285

Then find the difference between the Fv when the rate is 7.5 and when the rate is 7

Therefore difference = $185,948.5 - $147,285. = $38,663.5
