Which of the following is useful to combine the data of different segments using different software for the purpose of creating companywide budgets? A. budget creation manual B. budget management software C. financial analysis software D. accounting development manual
Answer:
B. budget management software
Explanation:
A budget management software would be the best option to combine different segments of data to create a companywide budget.
This is because one of the specific purposes of budget management software is to merge several budgets (for example, the budgets of a company's divisions) into a single one, larger budget (the companywide budget).

Five years ago you took out a 30-year mortgage with an APR of 6.5% for $200,000. If you were to refinance the mortgage today for 20 years at an APR of 4.25%, how much would your monthly payment change by?
Answer:
-$104.79
Explanation:
Current Mortgage Payment:
P/Y = 12,
N = 360,
I/Y = 6.5,
PV = $200,000,
Solve
for PMT = $1,264.14
Current Mortgage Balance:
P/Y = 12,
N = 300,
I/Y = 6.5,
PMT = $1,264.14,
Solve
for PV = $187,221.9
New Mortgage Payment:
P/Y = 12,
N = 240,
I/Y = 4.25,
PV = $187,222.54,
Solve
for PMT = $1,159.35
Current Payment - New Payment
= $1,159.35- $1,264.14
= -$104.79
ete is a California resident who is serving in California when he is transferred to Virginia under Temporary Duty (TDY) assignment. His salary is $3,000 per month. Pete is transferred on April 1 of the current year. How much of his income is taxable in California
Answer:
$36,000
Explanation:
Temporary duty can't change anything when someone is domiciled in the state and a responsible resident of the state, therefore his whole income would be taxable as usual whether he is in the state or out of state.
Workings:
Financial year= 12 months
Monthly salary = $3,000
Taxable income= $3,000 x 12 months
Taxable income = $36,000
At the beginning of the period, the Grinding Department budgeted direct labor of $19,800 and property tax of $51,000 for 1,100 hours of production. The department actually completed 1,500 hours of production.
Required:
Determine the budget for the department, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.
Answer:
Budget for the Grinding department is $78,000, assuming that it uses flexible budgeting.
Explanation:
Note: Fixed cost remain constant at any level of production
Budgeted Direct labor at 1,100 hours of production is
= Budgeted direct labor / hours
= 19,800 / 1,100
=$18 per hour
Direct labor cost at 1,500 hours of production is:
=1,500 * $18
=$27,000
Budget for the Grinding department at 1,500 hour of production is:
=Direct labor cost + Property tax
=$27,000 + $51,000
=$78,000
The next dividend payment by Savitz, Inc., will be $1.68 per share. The dividends are anticipated to maintain a growth rate of 6 percent forever. If the stock currently sells for $32 per share, what is the required return
Answer:
The answer is 11.25%
Explanation:
Solution
Given that:
The next step to take is to calculate the required rate of return which is shown below:
The required rate = D₁/P₀₀ + g
Thus,
$1.68/$32 + 0.06%
=0.0525 + 0.06
=0.1125 or 11.25%
Therefore, the required rate of return is 11.25%
Rubium Micro Devices currently manufactures a subassembly for its main product. The costs per unit are as follows:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Fixed overhead 34.00
Total $163.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal. Should Rubium make or buy the subassemblies? What is the difference between the two alternatives?
Answer:
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Direct materials $54.00
Direct labor 35.00
Variable overhead 40.00
Crayola Technologies Inc. has contacted Rubium with an offer to sell 6,000 of the subassemblies for $144.00 each. Rubium will eliminate $89,000 of fixed overhead if it accepts the proposal.
First, we need to determine the total cost of making the units:
Total cost= total variable costs + avoidable fixed costs
Total costs= (54 + 35 + 40)*6,000 + 89,000= $863,000
Now, the cost of buying:
Total cost= 6,000*144= $864,000
If the company buys the units, income will decrease by $1,000.-
company is considering the purchase of a new piece of equipment for $90,000. Predicted annual net cash inflows from the investment are $36,000 (Year 1), $30,000 (Year 2), $18,000 (Year 3), $12,000 (Year 4), and $6,000 (Year 5). The average operating income generated from the investment over its 5-year life is $20,400. The cash payback period is 3.5 years true false
Answer:
The cash payback period is 3.5 years. The answer is True.
Explanation:
According to the given data we have the following:
Year Cash flows Cumulative Cash flows
0 (90,000) (90,000)
1 36,000 (54,000)
2 30,000 (24,000)
3 18,000 (6000)
4 12000 6000
5 6000 12,000
To calculate the cash payback period we use the following formula:
Payback period=Last period with a negative cumulative cash flow+(Absolute value of cumulative cash flows at that period/Cash flow after that period).
Payback period=3+($6,000/$12,000)
Payback period=3.5 years
The cash payback period is 3.5 years. True
Edison has just paid an annual dividend of $3 per share. If the expected growth rate for Con Ed is 10%, and your required rate of return is 16%, how much are you willing to pay for this stock
Answer:
$55 per share
Explanation:
This can be calculated using the dividend discount model (DDM) formula as follows:
P = D1/(r - g) ............................ (1)
Where,
P = Current stock price or the amount you are willing to pay today
D1 = Next dividend = Current dividend * (1 + Growth rate) = $3 * (1 + 0.10) = $3.30
r = required return = 16%. or 0.16
g = growth rate = 10% = 0.10
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
P = $3.30 / (0.16 - 0.10) = $55 per share
Therefore, you are willing to pay $55 per share for this stock.
After examining a planning gap, firms typically attempt to decide if the time horizon should be increased or decreased. perform a SWOT analysis with their major competitor as the focus. use statistical trend analysis to interpret the results. exploit a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation. adopt a product-market focus.
Answer: exploit a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation
Explanation:
A planning gap is the difference that occurs in revenue or profits gap when current strategies are not changed. The gap analysis can help in the identification of gaps in the market. Therefore, when an organization compares its forecast profits to the company's desired profits, the planning gap will be shown.
When the actual results are lesser than the planned result, the organization would have to fill the gap with a marketing program which has been revised and sometime with new goals. Therefore, the firm can then decide whether to exploit wither a positive deviation and correct a negative deviation.
Lake Erie Company uses a plantwide overhead rate with machine hours as the allocation base. Next year, 700,000 units are expected to be produced taking 0.75 machine hours each. How much overhead will be assigned to each unit produced given the following estimated amounts?
Estimated: Department 1 Department 2
Manufacturing overhead costs $3,141,500 $1,571,000
Direct labor hours 167,000 DLH 267,000 DLH
Machine hours 267,000 MH 192,000 MH
a. $10.86 per unit
b. $8.73 per unit
c. $4.22 per unit
d. $11.77 per unit
e. $10 per unit
Answer:
$7.70 per unit
Explanation:
For computing the overhead rate per unit we first need to compute the estimated amount which is as follows
Total manufacturing cost
= Department 1 + department 2
= $31,41,500.00 + $15,71,000.00
= $47,12,500.00
Total machine hours
= Department 1 + department 2
= 267,000 MH + 192,000 MH
= 459000 MH
Now predetermined overhead rate is
= Total manufacturing cost ÷ Total machine hours
= $4,712,500 ÷ 459,000 MHs
= $10.27 per MH
Now overhead per unit is
= Pre-determined overhead rate per MH × Machine Hours required per unit
= $10.27 per MH × 0.75 MHs per unit
= $7.70 per unit
This is the answer but the same is not provided in the given options
Ratio analysis A company reports accounting data in its financial statements. This data is used for financial analyses that provide insights into a company's strengths, weaknesses, performance in specific areas, and trends in performance. These analyses are often used to compare a company's performance to that of its competitors, or to its past or expected future performance. Such insight helps managers and analysts improve their decision making.There are several groups of ratios most decision makers and analysts use to examine different aspects of a company's performance. Based on the descriptions of ratios listed, identify the relevant category of ratios.Ratios that help determine whether a company can access its cash and pay its short-term obligations are called______ratios.Ratios that help determine the efficiency with which a company manages its day-to-day tasks and assets are called______ratios.Ratios that help assess a company's ability to service the interest and repayment obligations on its long-term debt and the degree to which it uses borrowed versus invested financial capital are called______ratios. _______ratios help measure a company's ability to generate income and profits based on its invested capital.______ratios examine the market value of a company's share price, its profits and cash dividends, and the book value of the firm's assets and relate them to other data items to determine how the firm is perceived in the stock market. Ratio analysis is an important component of evaluating company performance. It can provide great insights into how a company matches up against itself over time and against other players within the industry. However, like many tools and techniques, ratio analysis has a few limitations and weaknesses. Which of the following statements represent a weakness or limitation of ratio analysis? A. Seasonal factors can distort data B. Window dressing might be in effect. C. Market data is not sufficiently considered.
Answer: 1. a. Liquidity Ratios
b. Activity Ratios
c. Financial Ratios
d. Profitability Ratios
e. Market Value Ratios
2. A. Seasonal factors can distort data
B. Window dressing might be in effect.
Explanation:
a. Liquidity Ratios give the company an idea of it's ability to access hard currency. Examples include the Current ratio and the Quick ratio.
b. Activity Ratios allows stakeholders know how efficient the company is at running daily operations. Examples include; Receivables Turnover and Asset Turnover ratios.
c. Financial Ratios are very important to the company as they can decide if a company will be able to get loans. They include ratios that measure the firm's ability to pay off debt as well as the overall condition of the firm in terms of it's finances.
Examples include; Net Profit Margin and Debt to Asset ratio.
d. Profitability Ratios
These help ascertain the ability of the business to make returns based on its resources. Examples include Return on Assets and Return on Equity.
e. Market Value Ratio
These essentially help the company and other stake holders know what the company is worth in the market. An example is the Book Value per Share ratio.
2. Seasonal Factors may indeed distort data depending on the type of industry that the firm is into and ratios will usually not show this. For instance, an Ice Cream company will not have strong sales in winter so when interpreting ratio analysis it would be important to note that this could happen.
Another weakness is that ratios are calculated based on the figures that are given by a company. These figures may not truly reflect the actual situation of the company when management supply more optimistic figures than is true. This is called Window Dressing.
It will have the effect of distorting the ratios so that they do not represent a true representation of the actual situation of the company.

Answer:
Explanation:
Tannenhill % Industry
Sales 4,000,000 100 100
Cost of goods 2,120,000 53 60
Gross profit 1,880,000 47 40
Selling Expenses 1,080,000 27 24

Income before tax 200,000 5 3
Income tax 80,000 2 2
Net Income 120,000 3 1
B)
Despite the fact that the selling and admin expenses pf Tannenhill was higher than the industry average , it had a better performance in the cost of goods management which in effect caused Tannenhill to record a greater net income percentage compared to the industry performance.
The other income and expenses was the same with the industry average , hence no impact on the overall performance.
For a business credit card, most companies that issue credit, including Visa and Mastercard, specifically state their liability policies:
Only cover the first $50.00 of liability
Cover up to $500 of liability
Are the same as their business card accounts
Do not apply to business card accounts
Answer: Cover up to $500 of liability
Explanation:
When one suspect that there has been unauthorized transactions in ones accounts which could be due to fraud, such business or person can make a complaint as soon as possible.
As soon as the report is made, the person is no longer in charge of the unauthorized use of such card. In a case whereby the loss is reported within two days, the liability is limited to $50 but when the report is made within 60 days after ones statement has been sent to the person or business, this may lead to a liability of $500.
Cover upto liability of $500. If the report is made within 60 days of receiving statement that shows fradulent transactions. If it is not reported within 60 days then the liability is unlimited.
Under which conditions would a plant manager elect to use a fixed-order quantity model as opposed to a fixed-time period model? What are the disadvantages of using a fixed-time period ordering system?
Answer: The answers are provided below
Explanation:
The fixed order quantity system is an arrangement whereby the inventory level is typically continuously monitored and also the replenishment stock is ordered based on the previously-fixed quantities while for a fixed time period model, the inventory levels are checked on regular basis for the items e.g every week.
A plant manager may elect to use a fixed-order quantity model as opposed to a fixed-time period model when the holding cost is much higher. Typically, fixed order quantity model is typically used for the costly items.
The disadvantages of using a fixed-time period ordering system are:
i. It doesn't consider market structure changes
ii. There should be a high level of inventory in order to avoid stock out.
iii. It leads to rigidity in the system as it makes the decision on time period complex when there's need for urgency.
If all you knew about a production system was that total daily output was 400 units and the total labor necessary to produce the 400 units was 350 hours, and the total materials used were 425 units, what kind of productivity measure could you use to compute productivity?
Answer:
partial measure
Explanation:
Based on the information provided it can be said that the kind of productivity measure that can be used would be a partial measure. Partial Productivity measure relates output to a single input unit. For example, capital productivity deals with output per unit of capital while energy productivity relates output per joule of energy used. In this scenario, we would need labor productivity which is output per hour worked.

c) The temporary difference between taxes as per accounting income and taxes as per tax regulation is recorded in the books through Deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. When accounting income is more than tax income it would imply more taxes need to be paid in future, so a deferred tax liability account is created.
d) Tax Computations: The prevalent tax rate of 40% is multiplied with the pre-tax accounting income, the pre-tax taxable income, and the temporary differences in income respectively to obtain their respective taxes. Ordinarily, the differences in the tax amounts of accounting income and taxable income is deferred tax asset/liability. The deferred tax asset and liability can still be obtained separately as we have done in this case. They give the same results.
A retail dealer in garments is currently selling 24,000 shirts annually. He supplies the following details for the year ended 31st March 2007.

$2,000,000d) Assuming that in the coming year, an additional staff salary of P1,000, 000 is anticipated, and price of shirt is likely to be increased by 15%, what should be the break-even point in number of shirts and sales?
15,625 shirts $14,375,000e) If taxation rate is 12.5%, and fixed cost increase to 6 000 000 what is the level of sales that must be achieved to a targeted profit of P8 000 000.
47,322 shirts$43,536,240Explanation:
selling price per shirt $800 x 24,000 = $19,200,000
variable cost per shirt $600 x 24,000 = $14,400,000
total fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $800,000
contribution margin per unit = $800 - $600 = $200
break even point = $4,000,000 / $200 = 20,000 shirts x $800 = $16,000,000
margin of safety = (current sales - break even point) / current sales = ($19,200,000 - $16,000,000) / $19,200,000 = 16.67%
if 30,000 shirts were sold:
contribution margin 30,000 x $200 = $6,000,000
fixed costs $4,000,000
net income $2,000,000
if sales price increases to $920, contribution margin = $320
fixed costs increase to $5,000,000
break even point = $5,000,000 / 320 = 15,625 shirts x $920 = $14,375,000
fixed costs increase to %6,000,000
targeted profit $8,000,000 + tax rate = $9,142,857
sales target = ($6,000,000 + $9,142,857) / $320 = 47,321.43 ≈ 47,322 shirts

Testbank Multiple Choice Question 96 On June 30, 2021, when Bonita Industries's stock was selling at $66 per share, its capital accounts were as follows: Capital stock (par value $50; 58000 shares issued) $2900000 Premium on capital stock 580000 Retained earnings 4150000 If a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, capital stock would be $3480000. $5800000. $7656000. $2900000.
Answer:
$5800000
Explanation:
Stock dividend refers to a form of dividend payment whereby additional stock shares of the company are distributed to shareholders instead of paying the shareholders in cash.
Stock dividends are also known as stock spills and it increases the common stock par value by its declared percentage.
Since the a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, this would increase the common stock as follows:
Increase in common stock = $2,900,000 * 100% = $2,900,000.
Therefore, the new common stock would be:
New common stock = Existing common stock + Increase in common stock = $2,900,000 + $2,900,000 = $5,800,000.
Therefore, If a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, capital stock would be $5,800,000.

Answer:
Ronald, the Librarian
What Ronald is doing "is an illustration of" Networking in practise.
Explanation:
According to investopedia.com, "Networking is the exchange of information and ideas among people with a common profession or special interest, usually in an informal social setting. Networking often begins with a single point of common ground."
The advantages of networking include, strengthening connections through information sharing, acquisition of fresh ideas, knowledge, and perspectives, avenue for career advancement and access to job opportunities, and the reception of career advice and support. It also builds one's confidence through the process of interaction with more knowledgeable professionals. Those who seek, find. And "iron sharpens iron," as people rob minds.
Networking also helps to develop and improve skill set, stay on top of the latest trends in your industry, keep a pulse on the job market, meet prospective mentors, partners, and clients, and gain access to the necessary resources that will foster your career development.
Evans Inc. had current liabilities at April 30 of $69,400. The firm's current ratio at that date was 1.7. Required: Calculate the firm's current assets and working capital at April 30. Assume that management paid $14,300 of accounts payable on April 29. Calculate the current ratio and working capital at April 30 as if the April 29 payment had not been made. (Round "Current ratio" answer to 2 decimal places.) Identify the changes, if any, to working capital and the current ratio that would be caused by the April 29 paym
Answer:
See explanation below
Explanation:
Given:
Current liabilities at April 30 of $69,400
Current ratio = 1.7
a) Calculate the firm's current assets and working capital at April 30:
Use the formula below to find the firm's current assets:
current ratio= current asset/current liability
current asset = current ratio × current liability
current asset = 1.7 × $69,400
Current asset = $117,980
For working capital:
Working capital= current assets-current liability
= $117,980 - $69,400
= $48,580
Working capital = $48,580
b) Calculate the current ratio and working capital at April 30 as if the April 29 payment had not been made:
New current assets = $117,980 + $14,300 = $132,280
New current liability = $69,400 + $14,300 = $83,700
Working capital = $132,280 - $83,700 = $48,580
Current ratio = 132,280/83700 = 1.58
c) There is no change in the working capital.
The current ratio will decrease by 0.12 (1.7 - 1.58) due to payment on 29th April
Exercise 5-10 Lower of cost or market LO P2 Martinez Company's ending inventory includes the following items. Product Units Cost per Unit Market per Unit Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54 Bats 29 76 82 Shoes 50 95 99 Uniforms 54 40 40 Compute the lower of cost or market for ending inventory applied separately to each product.
Answer:
Helmets $ 1,944
Bats $ 2,204
Shoes $ 4,750
Uniforms $ 2,000
Explanation:
We will compare between the cost and the proceeds from sale of the units. As accounting wants to represent reality it cannot value the company goods higher than it can acceess to it in the market regardless of the purchase cost.
This may generate losses to represent the decrease in the overall value of the good.
Helmets 36 $ 58 $ 54
Helmets cost is higher than market so we recognize a loss an valued at $54
36 units x $54 = $1,944
Bats 29 $76 $82
Bats productions cost is lower so we keep it.
29 units x $76 = $2,204
Shoes 50 $95 $99
Shoes also has a lower production cost
50 units x $95 = $4,750
Uniforms 54 $40 $40
As they are the same we just leave with $40
50 units x $40 = $2000
On January 2, 2021, the Jackson Company purchased equipment to be used in its manufacturing process. The equipment has an estimated life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $50,125. The expenditures made to acquire the asset were as follows:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6800
Installation charges 10,000
Jackson's policy is to use the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation in the early years of the equipment's life and then switch to straight line halfway through the equipment's life.
Required:
Calculate depreciation for each year of the asset's eight-year life.
Answer:
Jackson Company
Calculation of the Depreciation for each year:
a) Using the double-declining-balance (DDB) method of depreciation:
1st year, the depreciation charge = $59,200 ($236,800 x 25%)
2nd year, the depreciation charge = $44,400 ($236,800 - 59,200) x 25%
3rd year, the depreciation charge = $33,300 ($236,800 - 103,600) x 25%
4th year, the depreciation charge = $24,975 ($236,800 - 136,900) x 25%
5th year, the usage of straight-line method commences:
Depreciation charge = $58,100/4 = $14,525
6th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
7th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
8th year, depreciation charge = $14,525
Explanation:
a) Asset's recognized cost:
Purchase price $220,000
Freight charges 6,800
Installation charges 10,000
Total cost = $236,800
b) Useful life = 8 years, with salvage value of $50,125.
c) Double-declining balance depreciation rate = 25% (100/8 * 2)
d) Accumulated Depreciation at the end of:
1st year = $59,200
2nd year = $103,600 ($59,200 + 44,400)
3rd year = $136,900 ($103,600 + 33,300)
4th year = $128,575 ($136,900 + 24,975)
5th year = $143,100 ($128,575 + 14,525)
6th year = $157,625 ($143,100 + 14,525)
7th year = $172,150 ($157,625 + 14,525)
8th year = $186,675 ($172,150 + 14,525)
e) Book value of asset at the end of the fourth year:
Cost = $236,800
Accumulated depreciation $128,575
Book value = $108,225
Salvage value = $50,125
Straight-line depreciable amount = $58,100
f) The double-declining-balance depreciation method is an accelerated depreciation method that expenses the cost of an asset more rapidly by multiplying the straight-line method's rate by 2 and applying this rate on the reducing balance. On the other hand, the straight-line depreciation method uses the same amount of depreciation each year over an asset's useful life. The double-declining balance method does not take into consideration the salvage value unlike the straight-line depreciation method until towards the end of the useful life of the asset.
Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about purchasing his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000. This includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704(b) capital account is $14,000. If Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000, what would Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC
Answer: $12,900
Explanation:
From the question, we are told that Tom is talking to his friend Bob, who has an interest in Freedom, LLC, about buying his LLC interest. Bob's outside basis in Freedom, LLC, is $7,000 which includes his $1,900 one-fourth share of the LLC's debt. Bob's 704(b) capital account is $14,000. We are further told that Tom bought Bob's LLC interest for $11,000.
Tom's outside basis be in Freedom, LLC will be the amount that he paid for Bob's LLC interest plus the share of LLC’s debt. This will be:
= $11,000 + $1,900
= $12,900
Crane Company incurs these expenditures in purchasing a truck: cash price $23,030, accident insurance (during use) $1,690, sales taxes $1,380, motor vehicle license $670, and painting and lettering $2,140. What is the cost of the truck
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
Cost of the truck includes : Cash price + sales tax + motor vehicle license + painting and lettering
accident insurance would not be added because its a revenue expenditure as it will reoccur after a year.
$23,030 + $670 + $2,140 + $1,380 = $27,220
I hope my answer helps you
Answer:
$27,220
Explanation:
From the question above Crane company incurs the following expenditures in purchasing a truck
Cash price = $23,030
Accident insurance during use= $1,690
Sales tax= $1,380
Motor vehicle license= $670
Painting and lettering= $2,140
Therefore, the cost of the truck can be calculated as follows
= $23,030+$1,380+$670+$2,140
= $27,220
The accident insurance is not added to find the cost of the truck because it doesn't add any value and can happen again the following year.
Hence the cost of the truck is $27,220
Green Company is planning to introduce a new product with a 75 percent incremental unit-time learning curve for production in batches of 1,500 units. The variable labor costs are $55 per unit for the first 1,500-unit batch. Each batch requires 200 hours. There are $15,000 in fixed costs not subject to learning. What is the cumulative total time (labor hours) to produce 3,000 units
Answer:
210 hours
Explanation:
The learning curve rate can be found by log75%
Ln0.75 = 0.12249
1 batch requires 200 hours
The 1500 units batch will require 200 hours
For 3000 units there will be two batches of 1500 units each
200 hours * 2 batches * 0.12249 * 4.5 = 210 hours

The debit to direct materials control account isa. 25,000b. 22,500c. 41,667d. 37,500
Answer:
Balt CompanyDirect Materials Control Account:
Debit to the direct materials control account is
d. 37,500
Explanation:
a) Calculation:
Since 5,000 pounds were used at a standard price of $7.50, a debit to the direct materials control account would be $37,500 (5,000 x$7.50).
b) The direct materials control account is a memorandum account where the costs of direct materials are recorded to serve as a check and point of reconciliation with the subsidiary ledger of direct materials account. This debit shows the standard costs at actual production that is expensed for the period or during the process.
Blythe and Cali do business as Diamond Investments. In acting on the firm's behalf,Blythe makes an honest error in overestimating the value of a particular stock purchase. To her firm,Blythe is:__________.
A) liable for breach of the duty of care.
B) liable for breach of the duty of accounting.
C) liable for breach of the duty of accounting.
D) not liable.
Answer:
D) not liable.
