Answer:

Their duties are related, and their knowledge overlaps.

Explanation:

The Department of Labor of the United States, is the department that administers occupational safety, salary, working hours, etc. The department oversees the welfare of those who earn wages, seeking jobs, or retired people.

The Department of Labor grouped together the three separate occupations of plumbering, pipefitting, and steamfitting because their duties are somewhat related, and skills and knowledge intersect with each other.

The duties performed by plumbers, pipefitters, and steamfitters include installing of pipes, fixing pipes, inspection of pipelines and pipe systems, repairment of pipes, etc. And the knowledge of pipe of all three occupations is also similar. It includes pipe system design, safety, tool use, etc.

Thus the Department grouped them together because they have overlapping skills and knowledge, and similar duties. Therefore, the correct answer is the last option (D).

Veronika [31]

Correct question: I do not know if this question is complete or not but if i understand you well enough, I'd say that the minimally acceptable rate of pay will be in accordance to what is obtainable in yur state or area. $X.XX represents pay per hour while $XX.XXX represents pay per year.

Answer:

I would say Negotiable to be on the safe side if you can't come up with a certain amount by yourself.

Explanation:

When you have to fill on an application and it gets to the rate of pay, you either be on the safer side and write Negotiable if you do not want to sell yourself short or be too pricey. But it is almost certain that the rate of pay applicable in your state or area is what you will be getting per hour.

I hope this helps.

On January 1, 20Y8, Crabb & Co. sold land to ASP, Inc. and accepted a two-year, $500,000 face value note as payment. 6% inte

jeka94

Answer:

1. Discount

2. $449,298.47

3. $369,298.47 gain

4. land reduces by $80,000, investment increases by $449,298.47, reserves increases by $369,298.47

Explanation:

Question 1

Using the formula below

$Price=\frac{I_{1}}{1+r} +\frac{I_{2}+F}{(1+r)^{2}}$

where

I = interest rate, which is 6% of 500,000 = 30,000

F = Face value, 500,000

r = borrowing cost = 12%

Therefore, the price of the note at the time it was used for payment was

$Price=\frac{30,000}{1.12} +\frac{30,000+500,000}{(1.12)^{2}}$

= $449,298.47.

As the price is lower than the face value of the note, the note was issued at a discount.

Question 2

The fair market value of the note is $449,298.47, the compute price in question 1.

Question 3

The gain/loss on the sale of the land

= sale price - purchase price

= $449,298.47 - 80,000

= $369,298.47.

Question 4

The transaction would affect Crabb & Co's balance sheet as follows.

Asset side:

land reduces by $80,000

investment increases by $449,298.47

Equity & liabilities side:

reserves increases by $369,298.47
