If the CPI was 104 in 1967 and is 390 today, then $10 in 1967 purchased the same amount of goods and services as Group of answer choices $37.50 purchases today. $2.67 purchases today. $39.00 purchases today. $104.00 purchases today. None of the options is correct.

Answers

Option A

Explanation:

The following formula will be used while calculating the amount

The Amount in y year from x year dollar = ( the amount in x year / CPI of the x year) * CPI of the y year

the amount today =(10 / 104) * 390

Solving the above equation, we get, = $37.5

the $10 in 1967 will purchase equal to the amount of $37.5 today

Therefore, the Option 1 is the correct option from the given ones.

Answer:

Dr  Bonds payable                                      $90,300,000

Dr loss on early redemption of bonds        $5,106,000  

Cr Discounts on bonds payable                                             $3,300,000

Cr Cash                                                                                      $92,106,000

Explanation:

The amount of cash paid to bondholders by calling the bonds is the 102% of the face value of $90.3 million i.e $90.3*102%=$92,106,000

The proceeds would debited to cash while the face value of the bond of $90.3 million would be debited to bonds payable account.

In addition the remaining discount of $3.3 million would credited to discounts on bonds payable account.

The loss or gain on the bond call can then be determined as appropriate.

Maria Boyd has been hired by Barnum Hotels to manage staffing for the regional hotel chain. Barnum intends to open two new hotels within the next three years and will have many job positions to fill. Historically, employee turnover is high at Barnum as employees remain with the company for one or two years before quitting. Maria realizes that Barnum needs to make significant changes in its personnel strategy in order to meet the company's goals for the future and improve employee retention rates. All of the following questions are relevant to Mari's decision to fill top positions at the new hotels with internal candidates EXCEPT::_______a. What are the key managerial positions that are available at the new hotels?
b. What percentage of employers in the service industry use succession planning?
c. What skills, education, and training have been provided to potential candidates?
d. What is the designated procedure for assessing and selecting potential candidates?

Answers

All of the following questions are relevant to Mari's decision to fill top positions at the new hotels with internal candidates except What percentage of employers in the service industry use succession planning? Therefore, the correct answer is Option B.

   

The percentage of employers in the service industry using succession planning is not directly relevant to Maria's decision to fill top positions at the new hotels with internal candidates. Succession planning is a different concept from internal promotions.

Succession planning typically involves identifying and developing potential candidates for higher-level positions within the organization to ensure a smooth transition when key employees retire, leave, or are promoted to other roles. While it can be beneficial for an organization, it is not directly related to the decision of filling top positions at the new hotels with internal candidates.

The other three questions  What are the key managerial positions that are available at the new hotels? , What skills, education, and training have been provided to potential candidates? , and What is the designated procedure for assessing and selecting potential candidates? are more prominent to make that decision.

Final answer:

The transactions in Cullumber's books include sales revenue, accounts receivable, sales returns and allowances, and finally a cash entry alongside sales discounts when Marin pays the balance due.

Explanation:

The transactions on the books of Cullumber Company would be recorded as follows:

  1. On June 10, Marin Company purchases $8,400 worth of goods. In the books of Cullumber, this would be recorded as: Accounts Receivable - Marin Company $8,400andSales Revenue $8,400
  2. On June 11, Marin pays freight costs of $380. This has no effect on the entries in the books of Cullumber Company.
  3. On June 12, Goods totaling $500 are returned by Marin. This would be recorded as: Sales Returns and Allowances $500 and Accounts Receivable - Marin Company $500
  4. On June 19, Marin pays off the balance less the purchase discount. The payment can be recorded as: Cash $7,621, Sales Discounts $279 and Accounts Receivable – Marin Company $7,900. The sales discount is (3% of $8400-$500) = $279.
