Select the biased observational statement.

2 answers:

8 0

Biased means that something is prejudiced towards something – we assign negative value towards something, which in the case of the question, is a statement. The observational statement that is inclined to be perceived as biased is option (C) he ran furiously through the hall, shouting "I'm here!".

This is because of the use of<em> furiously, </em>which indicates that his behavior is not perceived neutrally by the observer, thus giving a biased impression of the observational account given.

Which of the following transactions require a TREC Seller's Disclosure Notice, to be provided?

xeze [42]

Answer:

none

Explanation:

The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires that the seller of residential property comprising not more than one dwelling unit must file a Seller's Disclosure Notice. This excludes a condominium or a duplex. Also, if the house is new and has never been used for residential purposes, then the seller doesn't have to file a disclosure either.

The purpose of the disclosure is to inform any issues related with the house that the seller is aware of. But this disclosure does not substitute any inspections that the buyer may want to obtain.

The following conditions that contribute 100 as a perfect score is

a. The product should be priced at the bottom range

b. The product contains 100% awareness & 100% accessibility

c. The customer satisfaction needed 100

But the product that is perfect positioned so the same would not be contributed as 100%

Since ages & distance from the ideal spots varies so the score varies month to months

Vargis Corporation has a machining capacity of 217,000 hours per year. Utilization of capacity is normally 85%; it has been as l

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

Machine hours available at different capacity utilizatiion

at 30% = 217000*30% = 65100

at 90% = 217000*90% = 195300

at 85% = 217000*85% =184450

PER HOUR RATE OF COST A AT 90% CAPACITY

Irrespective of capacity utilization fixed cost will remain same

at different capacity utilization cost A is $457000, so that it is Fixed cost

Per hour rate = $457000/195300 hrs

= 2.34 per hour

COST B AT 30% CAPACITY

per hour rate of cost B is remains same in both 30% and 90%

per unit or per hour variable cost will be same at different capacity only if it is Variable cost

So that Cost B at 30% capacity can be calculated as follows

= 12.5*65,100hrs

=$813,750

COSTS THAT WILL INCUR AT 85% CAPACITY UTILIZATION

Cost A = $457,000 (as fixed cost will remain same)

Cost B = $12.5*184450 hrs

= $2,305,625 (as variable cost rate per hour will remain same)

Cost C:

As it semi-variable cost we have to find out fixed cost within that

for that first we have to calculate variable cost per hour

VC/hr = Change in Variable cost / Change in machine hours

=(1,347,000-765,000) / (195300-65100)

=582000 / 130200

=$4.47

so variable cost at 30% =4.47*65100

=$290,997

variable cost at 90% = 4.47*195300

= $872,991

So fixed cost of C = Total cost of C - Variable cost of

at 30% capacity = 765000 - 290997

= 474003

( checking correctness) at 90% = 1,347,000 - 872991

=47009 (approx)

So, COST C AT 85% capacity utilization

=variable cost + fixed cost

=(4.47*184450hrs) + 474009

=824491.5 + 474009

=$1,298,500.5

TOTAL COST AT 85% CAPACITY UTILIZATION

=cost A+ cost B+ cost C

=$457,000+$2,305,625+$1,298,500.5

=$4,061,125

ACME Drilling is evaluating an offshore oil-drilling platform for possible impairment. The company estimates the following: book

alekssr [168]

Answer:

ACME Drilling should record impairment loss of $6.9 million

Explanation:

According to GAAP, when the fair value of an asset is below the net carrying amount of that asset ( Asset's historical cost - Asset's accumulated depreciation or the net book value of the asset), the Company should record it as asset impairment loss.

In ACME's case, the net book value is $18.6 million while the estimated fair value is only $11.7 million meaning that the platform is actually worth less than it is recorded on ACME's book. Thus, an impairment loss of $6.9 million should be recorded ( $18.6 million - $11.7 million) to realize the fair value of the oil-drilling platform.

The sum of projected sum of future cash flows in this case is not suitable to be used to determine the oil-drilling platform because it has not been discounted to the present value amount, and also, it is not appropriate under GAAP.
