Answer:
Matching principle
Explanation:
The matching principle in accounting states that the income for a period should be matched together to the expenses incurred to generate them.
For example, the insurance premium paid for was meant to cover the following year consumption, hence it is a prepaid expense and should be recognized and treated as an asset at the end of the current year.
Further more, such asset would later be recognized as an expense in the following year when the insurance service would have been consumed.
This violates the matching principle of accounting.

Joel klippert says he pays himself last, after he pays his vendors and employees. explain this decision in terms of the principle of business profit. do you agree with his payment priorities?
Answer with Explanation:
Paying employees and the vendors is necessary because they are very important stakeholders of the company. The company must manage its vendors and must not surpass the agreed credit period and credit allowed. If the company is properly managing its vendors then it is most likely that the company will taking maximum benefit out of it by increasing its credit period or credit allowed amount or both. This lower the working capital investment and thus would save the cost of financing the working capital, and hence the business profit would be increased. This means that the effective management of vendors increases business profit.
On the other hand, if we are not paying the employees in time then it will lower the motivation of the employees which would affect their productivity as well. Hence it is better to keep them motivated because it increases it productivity and also lowers employee turnover.
The impact of these decision would might seem that it has decreased the profit but employee cost are both fixed cost (salaried) and variable cost (wages) which means the fixed will remain the same but if the wages are growing then it is a sign of increased production. Hence we must pay them in time irrespective of business profit.
The following passage would be appropriate for a document aimed at a multicultural audience: Two companies found themselves in the financial equivalent of sudden-death overtime. The first to raise the necessary capital would be the one to survive.a) trueb) false
Answer: False
Explanation:
This passage would not work on a multi-cultural audience because it uses a culture specific term which is sudden-death overtime.
The term is used by the National Football League for American football which is not a sport that is very popular outside the shores of the United States. A person from Nigeria or even France for instance might have a hard time understanding the reference to sudden-death overtime because they are unfamiliar with the term.

A customer, concerned about a possible pull-back in XYZ stock, instructs her broker to "Sell my XYZ stock if it falls to 40, but I don't want less than 39.75 for my shares." The broker should enter:______.a. market order to sell.b. sell stop order.c. sell stop limit order.
Answer:
c. sell stop limit order.
Explanation:
In this case, a stop order would be issued by a client that instructs his/her broker to sell the stock if the price falls below $40.
But this is a stop limit order because the client has instructed specifically that he/she will not accept a stock price lower than $39.75. A stop limit order sets an specific price limit that the customer will be willing to accept.
Mary is a line cook at a restaurant and unknowingly has a highly contagious disease, "Syfoid." She hasn’t shown any symptoms herself, but she has passed it through the food she handles to several customers who later died. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) traced the disease back to Mary and order her to "appear for testing and treatment as well as to cease all handling of food." When Mary refuses, the CDC and law enforcement arrive at her home and forcibly take her to a hospital where she is quarantined though she was not charged with any crime. Several months later Mary has still not been released from quarantine because she is still communicable, however, she has never been provided an opportunity to contest her quarantine. In the meantime, Mary lost her job. Has any of Mary’s fundamental rights been violated?
a. No, because she is a threat to the health and safety of the community.
b. Possibly, because she was deprived of her liberty without due process.
c. Yes, the government violated her right to equal protection.
d. No, because she has not been charged with any crime.
Answer: b. Possibly, because she was deprived of her liberty without due process.
Explanation:
Mary has a Constitutional right to due process which means that she should get the opportunity to contest her quarantine. This right is enshrined in the 5th Amendment which asserts that the Federal Government may not deprive a person of their freedoms without due process.
The CDC as a Federal Government arm even when acting in the interest of the people, should give Mary the chance to contest her quarantine so that she may at least see for herself that she might indeed be the source of a deadly disease.

A body in the solar system has a period of 10,759.22 days and a perihelion speed of 10.18 km/s. a. Calculate the aphelion radius in nautical miles (14 points). b. Calculate the eccentricity (2 points). c. Extra credit: Name the object. (6 points).
Answer:
Explanation:
From the information given, by applying Kepler's 3rd law,
[tex]T^2 \alpha a^3[/tex]
where;
T = period
a = semi major axis
T = 356 days (for earth)
a = 1 AU = 1.496 [tex]\times 10^8 \ km[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]T^2 = ca^3[/tex]
[tex]c= \dfrac{365^2}{(1.496 \times 10^8)^3}[/tex]
c = 3.9791 [tex]\times 10^{20} \ day^2/km^3[/tex]
However, if the body in the solar system has a period of 10.759.22 days, then, a =?
∴
[tex]T^2 = ca^3[/tex]
[tex]a3 = \dfrac{10759.22^2}{3.9791 \times 10^{-20}}[/tex]
[tex]a^3 = 2.9092 \times 10^{27}[/tex]
[tex]a= \sqrt[3]{2.9092 \times 10^{27}}[/tex]
a = 1.4275 [tex]\times 10^9 \ km[/tex]
However, the velocity for a perihelion = 10.18 km/s
Using the formula
[tex]v = \sqrt{GM ( \dfrac{2}{r}-\dfrac{1}{a})}[/tex] to calculate the radius, we have:
G = [tex]6.674 \times 10^{-11}[/tex]
M = [tex]1.989\times 10^{30} \ kg[/tex]
r = perihelion
[tex]v ^2= GM ( \dfrac{2}{r}-\dfrac{1}{a})[/tex]
[tex](10.18 \times 10^3) ^2= 6.674 \times 10^{-11} \times 1.989 \times 10^{30} ( \dfrac{2}{r}-\dfrac{1}{1.425 \times 10^{12}})[/tex]
[tex]7.8068 \times 10^{-13}= \dfrac{2}{r}-\dfrac{1}{1.425 \times 10^{12}}[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{2}{r} = 1.4824 \times 10^{-12}[/tex]
[tex]r = \dfrac{2}{1.4824 \times 10^{-12}}[/tex]
[tex]r = 1.349 \times 10^{12}[/tex]
Similarly, the perihelion is expressed by the equation,
r = a(1 - e)
where ;
e= eccentricity
∴
[tex]1.349 \times 10^{12} = 1.425 \times 10^{12} ( 1 - e)[/tex]
[tex]1.349 \times 10^{12} - 1.425 \times 10^{12}= - 1.425 \times 10^{12} (e)[/tex]
[tex]-7.6\times 10^{10}= - 1.425 \times 10^{12} (e)[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{-7.6\times 10^{10}}{- 1.425 \times 10^{12}}= (e)[/tex]
e ( eccentricity) = 0.0533
Aphelion radius in natural miles, r = a( 1+ e)
[tex]r = 1.425 \times 10^{12} ( 1 + 0.0533)[/tex]
[tex]r = 1.50 \times 10^{12} \ m[/tex]
to nautical miles, we have:
[tex]r = 1.50 \times 10^{12} \times 0.00054 \ nautical \ mile[/tex]
radius of aphelion [tex]\mathbf{r = 8.10 \times 10^8}[/tex] nautical miles
In respect to the value of a( i.e [tex]1.4275 \times 10^9 \ km)[/tex]
the body of the solar system is Saturn

Juanita receives her paycheck and knows that her gross pay and federal tax are correct. Using the fact that Social Security tax is 6.2% of gross pay, Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay and state tax is 19% of federal tax, determine if Juanita's net pay is correct.Choose the true statement below. a. The net pay is correct. b. The Social Security tax is not correct. c. The Medicare tax is not correct. d. The state tax is not correct.
Answer:
a. The net pay is correct.
Explanation:
Suppose the missing part of the question which is the gross pay and the federal tax is 1020.00 and 107.00 respectively.
Then, Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = [tex]\dfrac{6.2}{100}\times 1020[/tex]
Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = 0.062 × 1020
Social Security tax 6.2% of the gross pay = $63.24
the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = [tex]\dfrac{1.45}{100} \times 1020[/tex]
the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = 0.0145 × 1020
the Medicare tax is 1.45% of gross pay = $14.79
the state tax is 19% of federal tax = [tex]\dfrac{19}{100} \times 107[/tex]
the state tax is 19% of federal tax = 0.19 × 107
the state tax is 19% of federal tax = $20.33
Hence, to determine if Juanita's net pay is correct, we have the summation of all our estimated figures minus the gross pay.
i.e
Juanita's net pay = $1020 - $(107 + 63.24 + 14.79 + 20.33)
Juanita's net pay = $1020 - 205.36
Juanita's net pay = $814.64

Any given demand or supply curve is based on the ceteris paribus assumption that ___________________.
Answer:
All else is help equal, is the right answer.
Explanation:
“All else is help equal” is the correct answer because the demand curve is downward sloping and the supply curve is upward sloping. Here, the relationship between the price and demand is negative that means a rise in price leads to a fall in demand or vice versa. Similarly, in the case of supply, the price and supply are positively related that means a rise in price leads to a rise in supply or a fall in price lead to a fall in supply.
Customer Q, age 40, is married with 3 young children. He earns $120,000 per year and has $10,000 of liquid assets to invest. The customer has no current portfolio, but does own his home, worth $400,000 against which there is a $200,000 mortgage. The customer informs you that his father just died, leaving him an inheritance of $150,000. He wishes to invest the money so that he can retire in 20 years, using the investment's income. The best recommendation to the customer is to invest the $150,000 in:______________.A. a large cap stock mutual fundB. CMO companion tranches with a 20 year average lifeC. TIPs with a 20 year maturityD. a low-load variable annuity separate account with a growth objective
Answer:
D. a low-load variable annuity separate account with a growth objective
Explanation:
The customer plans to retire in 20 years, and even though his earnings are relatively high, his assets and net value are not. Before his father died, he only had $10,000 to invest, so he cannot afford to take high risks.
A low load investment is one whose managers charge low management fees. A variable annuity is a type of investment that yields a variable return depending on how the investment portfolio performs. In order to be able to have a larger future return, the growth objective would be to have a portfolio that grows, and not necessarily yields annual returns, e.g. zero coupon securities or stocks that pay low dividends or even no dividends at all but have a higher growth rate.

A nursery has $50,000 of inventory in dogwood trees and red maple trees. the profit on a dogwood tree is 28% and the profit on a red maple tree is 18%. the profit for the entire stock is 20%. how much was invested in each type of tree?
Answer and Explanation:
Let us assume the following things
x = dogwood inventory percentage
and, (50,000 - x) = red maple tree inventory percentage
And, the amount of profit is
= $50,000 × 0.20
= $10,000
Now the equation would be
0.28x + 0.18 × ($50,000 - x) = $10,000
0.28x + $9,000 - 0.18x = $10,000
0.10x = 1,000
x = 10,000 = dogwood
So, the red maple would be
= 50,000 - 10,000
= 40,000
