Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

As a disclosure only. No liability is reported

Explanation:

According to the International Accounting Standard IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, contingent liability can only be recorded if the likelihood of recording of the loss is reasonably probable and in this case the chances of occurence of the liability is reasonably possible which must not be recorded. The only effect would be disclosing the litigation matter and not including the liability amount that will arise if it goes wrong.

Suppose an economy consists of three sectors: energy (e), manufacturing (m), and agriculture (a). sector e sells 70% of its outp
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

(1) Pe =0.3Pm + 0.15 Pa

Pm = 0.7Pe + 0.2 Pm + 0.3 Pa

Pa = 0.3 Pe + 0.5Pm +0.55 Pa

(2) The free variable Pa = 100

Explanation:

Solution

We create a table of outputs using the given percentages economy distribution

Energy         Manufacturing       agriculture     Purchased by

0                       0.3                       0.15                 energy

0.7                    0.2                       0.3                  manufacturing

0.3                    0.5                       0.55                Agriculture

Let Pe Pm, Pa represent the prices for each sector

We then create an income equation using the expenses of the table above

Now,

Pe =0.3Pm + 0.15 Pa

Pm = 0.7Pe + 0.2 Pm + 0.3 Pa

Pa = 0.3 Pe + 0.5Pm +0.55 Pa

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

$256,284

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

First, Calculate the predetermined overhead rate per hour which equals to

=  (Estimated manufacturing Overhead cost ÷ estimated machine hours)  

= ($235,900 ÷ 20,800 hours)

= $11.34 per hour

So, the applied overhead or manufacturing overhead allocated equals to

=  Predetermined overhead rate per hour × actual machine hours

= $11.34 per hour × 22,600 hours

= $256,284

Below are various states of financial distress: 1. defaulting on a principal payment on debt 2. restructuring debt 3. liquidatin
anastassius [24]
<span>1) failing to make a required interest payment on time. I chose this as the least significant because you can always make up a late payment and then its not really a huge deal. It could hurt your credit score but it is not a life or death situation. 2) defaulting on a principal payment on debt. This is a little worse because at this point you cant cant even pay the debt and now your falling a little worse into debt but you can still get out. 3) restructuring debt. This is worse because you already have obtained a lot of debt but you are getting the chance to restructure it to help pay it off you even though your in a bad spot you still have a chance to get out. 4) filing for bankruptcy. At this point you are bankrupt you really don't have a lot of options left and you are kind of at the point of no return unless you can get a hold of a lot of cash really fast. 5) liquidating a firm. At this point you have to sell all of your assets in order to pay of your debt. You will be left with nothing left you may even have to sell you house all your jewelry basically everything that you own that has some value that can be sold.</span>

1. Why might a company claim that the total cost of employing a person is $15.30 per hour
gavmur [86]
Companies often do work on a cost-reimbursement basis. That is, Company B reimburses Company A for the cost of doing work for Company B. Suppose your company has a contract that calls for reimbursement of direct materials and direct labor, but not overhead. Following are costs that various organizations incur; they fall into three categories: direct materials (DM), direct labor (DL), or overhead (OH). Classify each of these items as direct materials, direct labor, or overhead.
