How should fruits that produce ethylene gas be stored?
A. In separate drawers or sealed containers
B. In perforated plastic
C. In paper bags in the lowest refrigerator shelves
D. On a shelf
Fruits that produce ethylene gas should be stored in a refrigerated and well-ventilated environment to slow down ripening and to remove ethylene gas. Hence the correct answer is D.
Fruits that produce ethylene gas should ideally be stored in environments that are both refrigerated and well ventilated. Refrigeration is beneficial because it slows down the chemical reactions, including the process of fruit ripening. Meanwhile, ventilation is important as it removes the ethylene gas from the storage environment, which can otherwise accelerate fruit maturation. To explore this effect, you can place a ripe apple or banana, which naturally emit ethylene, with an unripe fruit in a closed container or paper bag. You will observe that the unripe fruit will ripen quicker due to the ethylene exposure. In commercial storage, ethylene is scrubbed from the air using an air filter system to slow ripening and reduce spoilage.

Explanation:
The hypothesis that Keynesian economy is said to raise demand by the government to boost production. Keynesians assume that the primary force of an economy is customer demand. As a response, expansionary monetary policy is endorsed in principle.
The British Government at that time was strongly critical of Keynes. The government reduced social security costs and increased taxation in order to balance national accounts. This did not inspire people to invest their money, left the economy unified and unwilling to rebound and return to a prosperous state. Keynes said.
Alternatively, he proposed that the government would spend more resources to boost the appetite of customers in the economy. In addition, the total economic performance will be improved, which would lead inevitably to growth and a decrease in unemployment.

The Cartoonist opposes U.S Participation in the League of Nations
Explanation:
This is a Post World War 1 Cartoon
As part of the Versailles Treaty from the Paris conference of 1919 a League of Nations was to be formed comprising of the World Powers at the time. Members were expected to respect the sovereignty of other countries and completely discourage the deployment of Military campaigns against other countries
The President of the USA at the time President Woodrow Wilson believed so much in the Vision of the League of Nations but was constrained from having America join because of the overwhelming stand against America's involvement by the isolationist movement in the congress.
The Isolationist movement was specifically against the item X of the League's covenant which required Member nations to support other Nations in the face of an aggression from another. The interpretation of this was that the USA would be completely surrendering its sovereignty and would remain a tool for International Conflicts resolution by deploying men and war equipment as was the case with World War I.
The President is seen in the cartoon firmly rooted to USA ideals albeit opposed to his Vision of joining the League of Nations.
Answer:
B) opposes U. S. participation in the League of Nations
Explanation:
Whistler Corp. performed services for a customer but has not yet recorded payment, nor has it recorded any entry related to the work. Which of the following accounts are involved in the adjusting entry: (a) asset, (b) liability, (c) revenue, or (d) expense
Answer:
(a) asset
(c) revenue
Explanation:
On accrual accounting when a business performs a service but has not yet received payment, the entry is recorded in an asset account called Accounts receivable.
Accounts receivable contains all revenue that is owed by other parties to the business but have not been settled yet.
In the adjusting entry the asset account- Account receivable is now debited for the amount received and a credit is passed to Revenue account.
The adjusting entry is passed when the payment is received for services rendered.
Final answer:
The adjusting entry that Whistler Corp. needs to make for performing services without yet receiving payment involves an asset (accounts receivable) and revenue (service revenue).
Explanation:
Whistler Corp. has performed services but has not recorded payment, nor any entry related to the work. In accounting terms, this means that Whistler Corp. has earned revenue but has not yet received payment. Therefore, the transaction involves recognizing an account receivable, which is an asset, and service revenue.
As they have not received payment, an adjusting entry will typically involve debiting accounts receivable (to show the asset that the company expects to collect) and crediting service revenue (to record the earnings that have occurred as a result of the service provided).
No expenses or liabilities such as accounts payable are recorded in this transaction because the company has performed a service, not received a good or service. The revenue recognition principle in accrual accounting dictates that revenue is recognized when earned, regardless of when cash is received.
Complex numbers are often used when dealing with alternating current (AC) circuits. In the equation $V = IZ$, $V$ is voltage, $I$ is current, and $Z$ is a value known as impedance. If $V = 1-i$ and $Z=1+3i$, find $I$. Express your answer as a complex number in the form $a+bi$, where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers
Answer: I=-1/5-2/5i
Explanation: V=IZ
1-i=I(1+3i)
Make I subject
I=(1-i)/(1+3i).
multiply numerator and denominator by conjugate( 1-3i).
The denominator will become
1-9*i^2=1+9=10.
The numerator will be expanded to be 1-3i-i+(3i)^2=1-4i-3=-2-4i.
This is I= (-2-4i)/10
divide numerator and denominator by -2. We have:
I=-(1+2i)/5
I=-1/5-2/5i
Wall Corporation exchanges old equipment for new equipment. The original cost of the old equipment was $100,000, and its accumulated depreciation at the date of exchange was $60,000.

Credit gain on exchange of asset $4000 2. Credit equipment $100,000 3. Debit accumulated depreciation $60,000 4. Debit equipment $80,000 5. Debit equipment $65,000 6. Credit equipment $80,000 7. Credit accumulated depreciation $60,000
Answer:
2. Credit equipment $100,000
3. Debit accumulated depreciation $60,000
Explanation:
When a company trades with another pieces of equipment gain or losses are recognized when there is commercia lsubstance. If not, then the trade-in equipment is posted as the net book value of the old equipment
In both cases, the old equipment is write-off thus:
credit equipment for 100,000
and debit accumualted overhead for 60,000
Now, we look at the option that matches this. The information about the new assets is insuficient as we aren't given information about whether or not thre is commercial substance
