Answer:

Original Cost = $26.10

Annual Amortization (Old) = $26.10 / 9 years

Annual Amortization (Old) = $2.9 million

Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = $2.9*4 = $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $26.10 million - $11.6 million

Unamortized Value = $14.5 million

Remaining Life = 6 - 4

Remaining Life = 2 Years

New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life

New Amortization =  $14.5/2

New Amortization = $7.25 million

                    Journal Entry

Amortization Expense Debit - $7.25 million

      Patent Credit -  $7.25 million

elena55 [62]

Answer:

Promissory agreement and Deed of trust.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Seller Dayne was made aware by the trustee that the lender was wanting to proceed with foreclosure on his property. The type of financial agreement that Seller Dayne have with this lender is a Promissory agreement and Deed of trust.

A promissory agreement can be defined as an evidence of a debt and as such involves the use of a legal financial tool such as a promissory note as a written promise to declare that a party (borrower) would pay another (lender) at a specific period of time.

On the other hand, a deed of trust can be defined as a legal document used by a party (borrower) to pledge his or her property to another party (lender) as guarantee or collateral for the repayment of a loan. The deed of trust is typically made up of three (3) parties; the lender, borrower and a trustee.

Additionally, a foreclosure on a property refers to a legal procedure whereby the property being pledged by a borrower for a debt is sold to pay off the debt as a result of defaulting in payments or terms with respect to a loan.

Beck Inc. and Bryant Inc. have the following operating data:__________.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a. Beck Inc. = 5.00  and Bryant Inc. = 2.50

b. Beck Inc. =  $100,000 and 100%  : Bryant Inc. =  $150,000 and 50 %

c. True.

Explanation:

Degree of Operating Leverage shows,  the times Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) would change as a result of a change in Sales contribution.

Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ EBIT

Thus,

Beck Inc = $500,000 ÷ $100,000

              = 5.00

Bryant Inc. = $750,000 ÷ $300,000

                 = 2.50

<em>If Sales increased by 20% the effects on Incomes would be :</em>

Beck Inc = 20% × 5.00

              = 100%

              = $100,000 × 100%

              = $100,000

Bryant Inc.=  20% × 2.50

              =  50 %

              =  $300,000 × 50 %

              =  $150,000

Answer:

a bona fide occupational qualification

Explanation:

Bona Fide Occupational Qualification is a term used to describe a type of discrimination that is not illegal, even if it seems. It is a positive discrimination used by companies to hire new employees, when necessary, based on factors that are considered discriminatory such as gender, religion, nationality, among others.

An example of this can be seen when the film recording industry needs to hire an Asian actor to play a character of Asian origin. This industry uses nationality as a discriminatory factor to hire someone, but in this scenario, this does not discriminate.
