Answer: $1,502,000

Explanation:

The destroyed stock is the closing stock on August 31.

Cost of Goods sold = Opening stock + Purchases - Closing stock

Closing stock = Opening stock + Purchases - Cost of Goods sold

Opening stock = $1,895,000

Purchases = $495,000

Gross profit is 40% of sales so Cost of Goods sold must be 60%;

= 60% * 1,480,000

= $888,000

Closing stock = 1,895,000 + 495,000 - 888,000

= $1,502,000

mina [271]

Option A is the proper response. It will only increase by $21,000 if it can completely eliminate all of the fixed expenses related to that product line.

All fixed expenses related to a discontinued product line should also be discontinued. then the corporation can add $21,000 to its overall net profits. When a product line is discontinued, variable expenses are automatically eliminated.

belka [17]

Answer:

$47,500

Explanation:

Since the payment is made monthly in advance for the period of 5 years, therefore the present value of annuity formula shall be used for the purpose of calculating the Present value of lease, which is given as follow:

Present value of annuity=R+R[(1-(1+i)^-n)/i]

In the given question

R=Rent per month paid in advance=$1,000

i=interest compounded monthly=10%/12=0.83%

n=number of payments involved=(12*5)-1=59

Present value of annuity=1,000+1,000[(1-(1+0.83%)^-59)/0.83%]

                                        =$47,500

Which of the following statements, if any, is (are) true?
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The answer would be C

Explanation:

When it comes to considering life insurance as an investment, you’ve probably heard the adage, “Buy term and invest the difference.” This advice is based on the idea that term life insurance is the best choice for most individuals because it is the least expensive type of life insurance and leaves money free for other investments.

Permanent life insurance, the other major category of life insurance, allows policyholders to accumulate cash value, while term does not, but there are expensive management fees and agent commissions associated with permanent policies, and many financial advisors consider these charges a waste of money.

When you hear financial advisers and, more often, life insurance agents advocating for life insurance as an investment, they are referring to the cash-value component of permanent life insurance and the ways you can invest and borrow this money.

There are many arguments in favor of using permanent life insurance as an investment. The issue is, these benefits aren’t unique to permanent life insurance. You often can get them in other ways without paying the high management expenses and agent commissions that come with permanent life insurance.

Liquidity risk is one of the major risks faced by financial entities (such as banks, insurance companies and pension funds) and one of the primary causes of the 2008 financial crisis. Yet many entities with financial exposure cannot quantify the liquidity risks to which they are exposed.

In layman’s terms, liquidity risk can be described as the risk that arises from being unable to sell an asset in a timely manner and for its “true value.” There are two key dimensions of liquidity risk: one, the time required to transact in an asset, and two, the price at which the asset can be bought or sold.
