Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: E. Ellen is incorrect.

Explanation:

From the information provided, we can deduce that Bill is incorrect. This is because the statement made by Bill that "Congress lacks the authority to tax in this manner because the U.S.Constitution expressly reserves that right to the states" is incorrect. It should be noted that the constitution of the United States contains no such reservation.

Also, Ellen is incorrect. This is because the Congress has the authority to link highway funds or any other funds with social welfare objectives.

Which of the following statements is most CORRECT? Federal bankruptcy law deals only with corporate bankruptcies. Municipal and personal bankruptcy are governed solely by state laws. All bankruptcy petitions are filed by creditors seeking to protect their claims against firms in financial distress. Thus, all bankruptcy petitions are involuntary as viewed from the perspective of the firm's management.

Answers

Answer: All bankruptcy petitions are filed by creditors seeking to protect their claims against firms in financial distress.

Explanation:Bankruptcy is a legal process through which people or other entities who cannot repay debts to creditors may seek relief from some or all of their debts. In most jurisdictions, bankruptcy is imposed by a court order, often initiated by the debtor. Bankruptcy is not the only legal status that an insolvent person may have, and the term bankruptcy is therefore not a synonym for insolvency. In some countries, such as the United Kingdom, bankruptcy is limited to individuals; other forms of insolvency proceedings (such as liquidation and administration) are applied to companies. Bankruptcy is the legal proceeding involving a person or business that is unable to repay outstanding debts. The bankruptcy process begins with a petition filed by the debtor, which is most common, or on behalf of creditors, which is less common. All of the debtor's assets are measured and evaluated, and the assets may be used to repay a portion of outstanding debt.

3M Co. reports beginning raw materials inventory of $930 million and ending raw materials inventory of $880 million. 3M purchased $3,956 million of raw materials and used $4,006 million of raw materials during the year. Compute raw materials inventory turnover and the number of days' sales in raw materials inventory. (Use 365 days per year. Enter your answers in millions.)

Answers

Answer:

raw material inventory turnover = 4.42

number of days sale in raw materials inventory = 21.97

Explanation:

given data

beginning inventory = $930 million

ending inventory = $880 million

purchased raw materials  = $3,956 million

used raw materials  = $4,006 million

solution

we get here first raw material inventory for turnover that is

raw material inventory turnover = (raw\ material\ used)/(average\ raw\ material)    ..............1

here average raw material inventory = (930+880)/(2)

average raw material inventory = $905 million

so from equation 1

raw material inventory turnover = (4006)/(905)  

raw material inventory turnover = 4.42

and

now number of days' sales in raw materials inventory will be as

number of days sale in raw materials inventory = (ending\ raw\ material\ inventory)/(raw\ material\ used)  × 365   .............2

put here value

number of days sale in raw materials inventory = (880)/(4006)  × 365

number of days sale in raw materials inventory = 21.97

As a teenager, Enrique learned a valuable lesson from his dad, who told him to invest $1,000 at 8 percent interest at age 20 and leave the money alone until age 65. Enrique's dad knew that one strategy used by wealthy people is to exercise self-discipline and never touch a long-term savings plan. Enrique is happy to apply his dad's advice. If his savings account earns a more aggressive 14 percent annual rate of return, Enrique's savings will be worth approximately ________ more by age 68.

Answers

Answer: $538,806.50

Explanation:

This question is a compound interest question. If the savings increased at 14% per year then the amount when he is 68 will be;

Future Value = Present Value * ( 1 + Interest Rate ) ^ Years

Years = 68 - 20

= 48

Future Value = 1,000 ( 1 + 14%) ^ 48

= 1,000 * 538.8065

= $538,806.50
