Answer:
Owner owes Builder : B. $2,000.
Explanation:
A Liability is the present obligation of the entity, that arises as a result of past events, the settlement of which is expected to result in a cash outflow from the entity.
Initially, the Owners owes the Builder $,1500
For the fence to be completed on time, an addition of $500 was owed, upon the owner accepting this arrangement.
Thus, the total obligation owing to the Builder is $2,000.
Answer:
A. - The net public debt decreases
The net public debt decreases because the government has obtained more funds in tax revenue. For this reason, the government will likely run a budget surplus.
B. - The net public debt increases
The government was already running a budget deficit (albeit a small one). With the effects of the hurricane, the government will have to spend more to help the people affected, and will likely have to borrow even more, increasing its deficit.
C. - The net public debt remains unchanged
There was a transfer of funds from one government agency to the other, and the net effect of such transfer is likely to be very small to make any significant change in the net public debt. The net public debt remains unchanged.
Answer:
$29,400
Explanation:
Straight line depreciation expense = (cost of asset - Salvage value) / useful life
Cost of asset = $150,000 + $20,000 + $7,000 = $177,000
($177,000 - $30,000) / 5 = $29,400

Answer:
Answer is the one which produces values which compare well with actual values based on a standard measure of error.
Explanation:
Exponential smoothing is one means of preparing short-term sales forecasts on a routine basis. To use exponential smoothing, however, one must decide the proper values for the smoothing constants in the forecasting model. One method for selecting the smoothing constants involves conducting a grid search to evaluate a wide range of possible values.
Exponential smoothing forecasting methods use constants that assign weights to current demand and previous forecasts to arrive at new forecasts. Their values influence the responsiveness of forecasts to actual demand and hence influence forecast error. Considerable effort has focused on finding the appropriate values to use.
One approach is to use smoothing constants that minimize some function of forecast error. Thus, in order to select the right constants for forecasting, different values are tried out on past time series, and the ones that minimize an error function like Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) or Mean Squared Error (MSE) are the ones used for forecasting
Answer:
The return on assets and debt/equity ratio does not change
Explanation:
An operating lease does not affect assets and liabilities. From the formula:
Equity = Assets - Liabilities, since both assets and liabilities are not affected (they remain unchanged) therefore the equity is also the same.
The debt/ equity ratio = total liabilities/total equity. Since liabilities and equity remain unchanged, therefore The debt/ equity ratio is the same.
Also the return of assets (earnings/assets) remain the same
