Answer:
Dr bond investment $1,400,000
Cr cash $1,400,000
Cash interest is $112,000.00
Interest revenue for the year is also $ 112,000.00
Explanation:
The cash paid for the investment is $1,400,000, this would be debited to bond investment and credited to cash since it is an outflow of cash from the business.
At six-month interval, coupon receivable=$1,400,000*8%*1/2=$ 56,000.00
annual coupon receivable=$ 56,000.00 *2=$ 112,000.00

Suppose that Spain and Switzerland both produce beer and cheese. Spain's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 5 barrels of beer while Switzerland's opportunity cost of producing a pound of cheese is 10 barrels of beer. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that (Spain/Switzerland) has a comparative advantage in the production of cheese and (Spain/Switzerland) has a comparative advantage in the production of beer. Suppose that Spain and Switzerland consider trading cheese and beer with each other. Spain can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than (1, 1/10, 1/5, 5, 10) barrels of beer for each pound of cheese it exports to Switzerland. Similarly, Switzerland can gain from trade as long as it receives more than(1, 1/10, 1/5, 5, 10) pound of cheese for each barrel of beer it exports to Spain. Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of cheese in terms of beer) would allow both Switzerland and Spain to gain from trade? Check all that apply. A. 6 barrels of beer per pound of cheese B. 1 barrel of beer per pound of cheese C. 7 barrels of beer per pound of cheese D. 4 barrels of beer per pound of cheese

Answer: 161.1%
Explanation:
Given that,
Direct labor costs for Chester = $32,680
Labor costs could have been $20,000 higher
Productivity index shows the ratio between the labor costs with improvements and labor costs without improvement in production.
Productivity Index =
=
= 161.1%
Final answer:
The productivity index for Chester, which measures the savings in labor costs due to productivity improvements, is approximately 62.06%. This suggests that, without the investments in training, Chester's labor costs would have been about 38% higher.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the productivity index for Chester, we need to understand that the productivity index essentially measures the savings in labor costs resulting from production improvements, expressed as a percentage. In this particular case, Chester was able to save $20,000 in labor costs due to investments in productivity-enhancing training.
The original direct labor costs for Chester was $32,680. Had Chester not made any productivity improvements, the labor costs would have been $32,680 plus an additional $20,000, for a total of $52,680. Therefore, the productivity index is calculated by dividing the original labor cost by what the labor cost would have been without the productivity improvements, and multiplying by 100, as follows: ($32,680 / $52,680) * 100. This equation gives a productivity index of approximately 62.06%. This means that Chester's labor costs would have been approximately 38% higher without the productivity improvements.

b. A door opening to a private hallway still doesn't ensure that she is this much social.
c. Upstair and far from stairwell also tells that only few people will know her, not all.

Answer:
Market capitalization - $155.26
Stock price - $26.77
Explanation:
The computation of the market capitalization is shown below:
= last year dividend × (1 + growth rate) ÷ (cost of capital - growth rate)
= $5.18 billion × ( 1 + 7.9%) ÷ (11.5% - 7.9%)
= $5.58,922 billion ÷ 3.6%
= $155.26
And, the stock price would be
= Market capitalization ÷ outstanding shares
= $155.26 ÷ 5.8 billion
= $26.77

Answer: Encumbrance
Explanation: The commitment made by a governmental unit to buy some product for use in administration is recorded in the general fund as an encumbrance which is defined as an interest, right, burden or liability that must be carried. As such, an encumbrance ensures that there will be enough funds available for the payment of certain governmental obligations and commonly refers to restricted funds in the general fund account.
Answer:
Encumbrance
Explanation:
An encumbrance is a portion of a budget set aside for spending required by law or contract. Like the budget itself, an encumbrance is a projection and not yet a reality. If business conditions continue as they are when you set the budget, then the encumbrance will become an expense.
The most common types of encumbrance apply to real estate; these include mortgages, easements, and property tax liens. Not all forms of encumbrance are financial, easements being an example of non-financial encumbrances. An encumbrance can also apply to personal – as opposed to real – property.
