Answer:
C. Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.
Explanation:
Mary buys a lottery ticket and promises to buy her friend Sharon a new pair of shoes if she checks the lottery results while Mary is away.
Sharon agrees to do so, provided she has the time for it.
If Sharon fails to check the results and Mary wins the lottery, then it would be true of the contract between Mary and Sharon that Neither Mary nor Sharon can claim breach of contract.
The reason is Mary's promise is based on the condition that Sharon checks the result, Sharon's promise is based on the condition that 'if she has the time for it.'
The condition was not met by Sharon hence she cannot claim a breach of contract because she did not check the results, similarly, Mary cannot sue Sharon because sharon made it clear that she will only check If she has the time.

Answer:
The amount of dividend received by common stockholders in 2017 = $7500
Explanation:
The preference shares are cumulative which means the 2015 dividend on cumulative preference shares will be paid in the next year when dividend is declatred.
The total dividend on preference shjares is = 2500 * 100 * 0.05 = $12500
In 2016 dividend of 22500 is declared and paid.
Out of this 22500, 12500 relates to prefernece dividend for 2015.
The remaining 10000 relates to 2016 preference dividend. Thus, 2500 of 2016 preference dividned is outstanding and will be paid in 2017.
In 2017 out of 22500, 15000 (12500 + 2500) dividendd is paid to preference share holders.
The amount of dividend received by common stockholders in 2017 = 22500 - 15000 = $7500
Answer:
True
Explanation:
<em>Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work. These units are determined as follows:
</em>
Equivalent units = Degree of work done(%) × units of inventory
Equivalent units
<em>Direct material:</em>
Balance of work = 100-80 = 20%
Equivalent of work to be added = 20% × 40,000 = 8,000
<em>Labour</em>
Balance of work = 100-50= 50%
Equivalent of work to be added =50% × 40,000 = 20,000 units
<em>Equivalent of work to be added(units)</em>
Material 8000
Labour 20,000
Answer:
the variable overhead efficiency variance is $1,840 unfavorable
Explanation:
The computation of the variable overhead efficiency variance is shown below:
= Standard variable overhead rate × (standard hours - actual hours)
= $4.60 × (10,600 - 11,000)
= $1,840 unfavorable
Hence, the variable overhead efficiency variance is $1,840 unfavorable
As the standard hours would be less than the actual hours so it would be unfavorable variance
