Answer: The numbers are 1 and 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = smaller number , y= larger number.

As per given,

x=\dfrac{y}{3}   ...(i)

x+y=y^2-5       ...(ii)

Put value of x from (i) in (ii)

\dfrac{y}{3}+y=y^2-5\\\\\Rightarrow\ \dfrac43y=y^2-5\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y^2-4y-15=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y^2-9y+5y-15=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ 3y(y-3)+5(y-3)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ (y-3)(3y+5)=0\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=3 \ \ or\ y=\dfrac{-5}{3}

Since numbers are positive , so y=3 is correct.

And x will be 1  [from (i)]

Hence, the numbers are 1 and 3.

Amazon Inc. has been sued for following three alleged infringements of law: (1) Unauthorized use of a trademark; the claim is fo
Dimas [21]

The International Financial Reporting Standards developed standards can

be implemented to ascertain the provisions and disclosures to be made.

The correct responses are;

According to the financial reporting standard, the contingent liability that

Amazon Inc. should disclose and the provision that Amazon Inc. should

recognize, based on the legal consent are;

Lawsuit 1: It is not required to make provision or disclosure because the

probability of the lawsuit progressing is remote and therefore, the

Company will not be required to payout money or lose economic benefits.

Lawsuit 2: The likelihood of the Company having pay the displaced

employees is high however, the amount payable is $2 million, and

therefore, a provision of $2 million is required in the financial reporting.

Lawsuit 3: The Company is not legally obliged to pay for or perform the

cleanup, but based on the relationship between the Company's waste

location, the river, and the community, there is a constructive obligation,

the amount of which cannot be determined with reliability.

Therefore, there is a requirement for disclosure as a contingent liability,

and not a provision as the claim cannot be classified as a provision.
