Which two approaches will solve this issue?
Managers at Universal Containers (UC) have noticed that shipment records (a custom object) are being sent to the shipping department with bad address data specifically, addresses have missing data like City and poorly formatted Postal codes.
Answer:
Universal Containers (UC)
Two approaches to solve the shipment records issue are:
a. Set Validation Rules. For example, a validation rule will specify that the postal address fields contain the required address data.
b. Use Validation Texts. For example, a validation text for the postal code will indicate that the wrong postal code has been used for a specific address and will ask for immediate correction before the shipment records are sent to the shipping department.
Explanation:
A Validation Rule is a field property in the Expression Builder. It is used to specify and define conditions that limit values that can be entered in a particular field. Validation rules are usually reinforced with the use of Validation Texts, which are messages that are displayed when the data entered in the data fields do not conform to the validation rule or when the validation rule is violated.
Phil used his rental property for personal use for 7 days and rented it for 63 days. In most cases, what percentage of his expenses are not rental expenses and cannot be deducted on Schedule E?
a. 10%
b. 20%
c. 50%
d. 90%
Answer: a. 10%
Explanation:
The total number of days the property was used:
= 7 + 63
= 70 days
He used the property for personal use for 7 days out of that:
= 7/70
= 10%
That 10% cannot be deducted as rental expenses because he used these for personal use.

Royce, a California resident receives $20,000 from a rental building in Arkansas. Royce only reports the $20,000 to Arkansas and pays $2,000 net income tax to Arkansas. Since Royce is a California resident, California also taxes the $20,000, but gives him a tax credit for what amount for the tax he paid to Arkansas
Answer:
$2,000
Explanation:
The state of California will grant its citizens a tax credit equal to the amount of taxes paid in other states when computing income received outside its borders. This same logic is applied by the federal government when someone earns income in foreign countries and pays taxes to a foreign government. Taxes paid to other governments decrease the amount of taxes that you pay to your own government.
6. The company paid $900 cash toward accounts payable.

The answer is "$500".
Explanation:
Whenever Kristen reduces its deduction in government loan by the amount of its Federal Type 8396 Monthly Mortgage Original account credit, that deductor rises her California has the same number of comprehensive reductions.

Consider two policies: a tax cut that will last for only one year and a tax cut that is expected to be permanent. True or False: A tax cut that will last for only one year will stimulate greater spending by consumers than a tax cut that is expected to be permanent. True False
Answer: False
Explanation:
A short term tax cut will not affect spending as much as a permanent tax cut.
With a short term tax cut, people will know that they will have to go back to paying higher taxes in a short while and so will spend less so that they may be able to afford the higher taxes when they are reimplemented.
If a tax cut is long term however, consumers will spend more because they do not have to worry about having to afford to pay higher taxes after the year expires.
Interest Rates) Well-known financial writer Andrew Tobias argues that he can earn 177 percent per year buying wine by the case. Specifically, he assumes that he will consume one $10 bottle of fine Bordeaux per week for the next twelve weeks. He can either pay $10 per week or buy a case of 12 bottles today. If he buys the case, he receives a 10 percent discount, and, by doing so, earns the 177 percent. Assume he buys the wine and consumes the first bottle today. Do you agree with his analysis? Do you see a problem with his numbers?
Answer:
I disagree and his numbers are clearly wrong.
Explanation:
there are 52 weeks in a year, so the you should consume 52 bottles of wine per year. By the way, $10 per bottle doesn't buy any fine wine, but lets follow the question.
If you buy each wine individually, you will spend $10 x 52 = $520.
If you buy the wine by cases, you will spend $520 x 90% = $468
the difference is clearly not 177%, it only represents $52 or 10%.
Even if you decided to invest your savings per case of wine = $12 x $10 x 10% = $12
his total savings per year = $52 are spread over the year, so you could consider them an annuity of 4 $12 payments and 1 $4 payment. In order for this annuity to represent a 177% gain, which is equivalent to $468 x 177% = $828.36, the interest rate should be extremely high.
FV of an annuity due = payment x FV annuity due factor
$828.36 = $12 x FV annuity due factor
FV annuity due factor = $828.36 / $12 = 69.03
the % earned in 4.3 periods that results in 69.03 is close to 150% per every 12 weeks. This is not a reasonable interest rate.

Gravity, Inc., needs to raise $50 million to fund its expansion plans. The company will sell shares at a price of $28.40 in a general cash offer and the company's underwriters will charge a spread of 6.5 percent. How many shares need to be sold
Answer:
1,882,956 shares
Explanation:
Amount that company wants to raise = $50,000,000
Price per share in general cash offer = Price per share offered to public
Price per share offered to public = $28.40
Underwriters Spread = 7.5%
Underwriter's commission per share = 6.5% * $28.40 = $1.846
Amount received by company per share = Price per share in general cash offer - Underwriter's commission per share
Amount received by company per share = $28.40 - $1.846
Amount received by company per share = $26.554
Amount that company wants to raise = Number of shares sold * Amount received by company per share
50,000,000 = Number of shares sold * $26.554
Number of shares sold = $50,000,000 / $26.554
Number of shares sold = 1882955.486932289
Number of shares sold = 1,882,956 shares

On June 30, 2021, when Crane Company's stock was selling at $65 per share, its capital accounts were as follows: Capital stock (par value $50; 57000 shares issued) $2850000 Premium on capital stock 570000 Retained earnings 4240000 If a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, capital stock would be $3420000. $2850000. $7410000. $5700000.
Answer: $2850000
Explanation:
Based on the scenario given in the question, If a 100% stock dividend were declared and distributed, capital stock would be calculated as the number of shares issued multiplied by the percentage of shares declared and the par value. This will be:
= 57,000 × 100% × 50
= $2,850,000

Time 0 1 2 3 4 5Cash
Flow -$11,000 $3,350 $4,180 $1,520 $0 $1,000
Answer:
The project has no payback period
it should be rejected
Explanation:
Payback period calculate the number of years it would take to recover the amount invested in a project from its cumulative cash flows.
Amount invested = -$11,000
Amounted recovered in the 1st year = -$11,000 + $3,350 = -$7650
Amounted recovered in the 2nd year = -$7650 + $4,180 = -$3470
Amounted recovered in the 3rd year = -$3470 + $1,520 = -$1950
Amounted recovered in the 4th year = -$1950 + 0 = -$1950
Amounted recovered in the 5th year = -$1950 + $1000 = -$950
The amount invested is never recovered. the project isn't profitable and should be rejected
