Answer:

This situation brings up a potential conflict of interest for you.

Explanation:

"A conflict of interest occurs when an entity or individual becomes unreliable because of a clash between personal (or self-serving) interests and professional duties or responsibilities. Such a conflict occurs when a company or person has a vested interest, such as money, status, knowledge, relationships, or reputation, which puts into question whether their actions, judgment, and/or decision-making can be unbiased. When such a situation arises, the party is usually asked to remove themselves, and it is often legally required of them."

Then you should ask to remove yourself from the new landscaping company decision making if your son's company is an option among them.

Frame Co. has an 8% note receivable dated June 30, 20X1, in the original amount of $150,000. Payments of $50,000 in principal pl
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Given the following:

Interest rate on notes receivable = 8%

Original principal balance = $150,000

Amount due by July 1 = $50,000

Therefore, in the June 30, 20X4 balance sheet, the original principal balance that has been outstanding will be :

$150,000 - $50000 = $100,000

Therefore, only $100,000 has been outstanding and is due for calculation in the interest on accounts receivable on June 30.

Interest rate * principal balance due at the date

8% * $100,000

0.08 * $100,000

= $8,000

The sea wharf restaurant would like to determine the best way to allocate a monthly advertising budget of $1000 between newspape
Andreas93 [3]
From what I understood in the problem, the total budget that covers all types of media is only $1,000 per month. For the allocation, each type of media would get at least 25% of the budget. If we infer on this information, there should only be 4 types of media, at least. This is because four 25% portions would equal to 100%. If it exceeds 25% for each of the four types, it would be over the $1000 budget. With that being said, it is also possible that there will be 3 or 2 types of media. Nevertheless, let's just stick to the least assumption of 25% for each of the 4 types.

If local newspaper advertising is one of the four types, then:

$1000(25%) = $250

It would get $250 from the overall budget.

You are currently getting 26 sales opportunities per day and closing 64% of them. Employee: Wow, I am closing __________ sales o
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The correct word for the blank space is: 16.

Explanation:

Percentages represent part of a number. The result could be higher or lower than the original number. Percentages are calculated by multiplying the original number for the amount of the percentage desired and dividing that preliminary result by one hundred (100).

Thus, in the example:

Sales closed per day = (Sale opportunities) x (percentage of sales closed)  

Sales closed per day = 26 x 64%

Sales closed per day = 26 x (64/100)

Sales closed per day = 16,64

As sales cannot be fractioned, the sales closed per day are 16.
