slava [35]

Answer:

The answer to this question is c. Kathy has to pay based on a quasi contract.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario displayed above Kathy has to pay based on a quasi contract.

A  Quasi contract is a contract  that is created by a court order, not by an agreement made by the parties to the contract. For example, quasi contracts are created by the court when no official agreement exists between the parties, in disputes over payments for goods or services

In this case there has not been an official agreement between Kathy and the hospital, However she has to pay the bill presented to her based on Quasi contract which is created to prevent an individual to be unjustly enriched or from benefiting from the situation when he/she  does not deserve to do so.

Hence the answer is c. Kathy has to pay based on a quasi contract.

maksim [4K]

Answer:

A. The amount of interest expense to record for 2018 is $320, calculated as follows: $12,000 x 8% x 4/12 = $320.

B. No amount of cash was paid for interest in 2018; i.e. = $0.00

C. Effect of each transaction on balance sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows:

1. Cash Revenue of $16,200

Balance Sheet - Cash and Retained Earnings are increased by $16,200.

Income Statement - Revenue is increased by $16,200.

Statement of Cash Flows: Cash inflows are increased by $16,200.  It is an operating activity (OA)

2. Bank Note Payable of $12,000 with accrued interest of $320 for 2018:

Balance Sheet - Cash and Notes Payable are increased with $12,000; Interest on Notes Payable is increased by $320 and Retained Earnings decreased by $320.

Income Statement: Net Income is decreased by $320.

Statement of Cash Flows: Cash inflows are increased by $12,000.  It is a financing activity (FA).

Explanation:

1. Cash revenue increases net income and Cash Account balance, and reflects positively on the cash flows for operating activities.

2. Notes Payable increases Cash Account balance (an asset) and Notes Payable (a liability).  It also increases the cash inflow for financing activities.

3. Accrued Interest on Notes Payable increases liability and decreases the net income, which reflects negatively on the Retained Earnings (Equity).  It does not affect the statement of cash flows as no disposal had been made yet.
