Answer:
In other words, if Neha decides to keep the $300 for a cell phone and Teresa decides to contribute the $300 to the public project, then Neha would receive a total benefit of:
$570.
Explanation:
Neha has, in this situation, maximized his benefits to the detriment of the public good. This is an illustration of the tragedy of the commons. The tragedy of the common is an economic problem that explains the loss that the society incurs when some persons like Neha neglect to contribute to the common good because they are solely concentrated on pursuing their individual goals for personal gains.

The premium liability at December 31, 2015 is?
Answer: $108875
Explanation:
First, we calculate the Premium liability at December 31, 2020 which will be:
= (480,000 × 45%) - $110,000/8 × 4
= (216000 - 110000)/8 × 4.
= $53000.
Premium liability at December 31, 2021 will be:
= 53000 + [(620000 × 45%) - $130,000]/8 × 3
= 53000 + 55875
= $108875
The Richmond Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company has only a single processing department. The company's ending work in process inventory on August 31 consisted of 18,000 units. The units in the ending work in process inventory were 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. If the cost per equivalent unit for August was $2.75 for materials and $4.25 for labor and overhead, the total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory was:
Answer:
$95,400
Explanation:
Step 1 : Find the equivalent units of production in Ending Work in Progress
Materials = 18,000 x 100 % = 18,000 units
Conversion costs = 18,000 x 60 % = 10,800 units
Step 2 : Calculate the Cost of units in Ending Work in Progress
Cost of units in Ending Work in Progress = 18,000 x $2.75 + 10,800 x $4.25
= $95,400
Conclusion :
The ending work in process inventory was $95,400.
In 2020, the CEO of Crimson, Inc., entertains 9 clients at a skybox in Memorial Stadium for a single athletic event during the year. Substantive business discussions occurred at various times during the event. The box cost $11,300 per event and seats 11 people. (The cost of a regular, nonluxury box seat at Memorial ranges from $90 to $180.) Refreshments served during the event cost $820 (and were separately itemized on the bill Crimson received).
Required:
How much of these costs may Crimson deduct?
Answer:
The amount of these costs Crimson may deduct is $1,400.
Explanation:
The amount of these costs Crimson may deduct can be calculated as follows:
Costs of refreshments served during the event = $820
Higher of the cost of nonluxury box seat at Memorial = $180
Number of people the box can seat = 11
Costs of the seat = Higher of the cost of nonluxury box seat at Memorial * Number of people the box can seat = $180 * 11 = $1,980
Total cost of entertainment = Costs of refreshments served during the event + Costs of the seat = $820 + $1,980 = $2,800
50% of the total cost of entertainment = $2,800 * 50% = $1,400
Allowable deduction = Total cost of entertainment - Elimination of 50% of the total cost of entertainment = $2,800 - $1,400 = $1,400
Therefore, the amount of these costs Crimson may deduct is $1,400.
A company issued 70 shares of $30 par value preferred stock for $4,000 cash. The journal entry to record the issuance is:______.

B. Debit Investment in Preferred Stock $2,100; credit Cash $2,100.
C. Debit Cash $4,000; credit Preferred Stock $4,000.
D. Debit Preferred Stock $2,100, debit Investment in Preferred Stock $1,900; credit Cash $4,000.
E. Debit Cash $4,000; credit Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value, Preferred Stock $1,900, credit Preferred Stock $2,100.
Answer:
E. Debit Cash $4,000; credit Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value, Preferred Stock $1,900, credit Preferred Stock $2,100.
Explanation:
Journal Entry for Issuance of 70 shares of $30 par value preferred stock for $4,000 is -
Cash Debited - $4,000
Paid in Capital in excess of Par value Credited - $1,900
Preferred Stock (70 shares × $30 each) Credited - $2,100
The correct option is - E. Debit Cash $4,000; credit Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value, Preferred Stock $1,900, credit Preferred Stock $2,100.
You are the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. The insurance company informs you that you have two options for receiving the insurance proceeds. You can receive a one-time cash of $200,000 today or receive payments of $1,400 a month starting at the end of this month for 20 years. Assuming the APR is 6 percent with monthly compounding, which option should you take and why
Answer:
Option 1 PV lumpsum = $200000
Option2 PV of Annuity = $195413.08035 rounded off to $195413.08
Based on the present value of both the options, Option 1 should be chosen as it has a higher present value than option 2.
Explanation:
To decide on the best option to choose among the given two, we need to find the present value of both the options.
As the first option is to receive a lumpsum payment of $200000 today, the present value of this option is also equal to $200000 as it will be received today.
Option two, on the other hand, is an annuity as fixed payments will be received after equal intervals of time and for a limited time period and at the end of the period which satisfies the criteria of annuity ordinary. We will use the formula for the present value of annuity which is,
PV of Annuity = C * [( 1 - (1+r)^-n) / r]
Where,
C is the periodic paymentr is the rate of return of discount raten is the number of periodsThe periodic payment is provided as $1400. We are also provided with and APR of 6% which is the Annual rate. We will have to convert it into monthly rate by dividing it by 12. We are also provided with the number of years which we will need to convert into number of months by multiplying it by 12.
Monthly r = 6%/12 = 0.5%
Number of periods = 20 * 12 = 240
PV of Annuity = 1400 * [( 1 - (1+0.5%)^-240) / 0.5%]
PV of Annuity = $195413.08035 rounded off to $195413.08
Savers make deposits and investments in order to earn what?
Why don't savers invest their money directly with the businesses?
Answer:
Savers make deposits and investment in order to earn interest on their money. This often works very well because they do not earn only interest as a percentage of their money, but also interest as a percentage of previously accrued interest, something known as compound interest.
Savers do not invest their money directly with the businesses because real economic activity tends to be riskier (although it could also be more profitable for this same reason). This is why they often prefer to invest the money on financial instruments.
